Description

***New added information at the bottom*** Yard rental for dogs (and people!) to exercise, play, and sniff to their hearts content! Yard can also be rented by dog/animal trainers for a set fee instead of price per dog. Inquire if you’d like more information. Fully fenced backyard. Grass is somewhat long in some of the pictures, but it will be mowed prior to your visit. There is a rock pile for any agile dog that likes to climb. We also have a large galvanized metal troth that can be filled with water if your dog likes to play in water, we would just need at least 3/4 hours advanced notice so we have enough time fill it for you, it is pictured. The covered structure in the middle of the yard has camping chairs next to it and a picnic table you can use. There’s a power strip between two of the cozy chairs on the covered porch, or one by the hot tub. We just ask that you please limit it to no more than 2 devices plugged in. We can provide an electric heater to be used on the porch or by hot tub area if needed, just be sure to add that extra to your booking. There are plenty of scent trails to be followed as we often have small wildlife coming through the yard. Rabbits, squirrels, chipmunks, and plenty of birds that our dog still tries to catch even though she doesn’t stand a chance 😂 It is a fairly private back yard, so it is quite relaxing aside from the occasional loud barking of our neighbor dogs. We have an American bulldog/brittany spaniel mix, but she will be kept inside with us during your visit. You may hear her loud mouth from time to time, she sometimes fusses when other dogs are using her yard and she can’t join them 😀…There is plenty of parking, you can even open the gate and pull your vehicle into the carport area if you would like. We can possibly dog-sit for a fee so long as your dog is kind and comfortable with us. Cost could be discussed. We live at the end of a gravel road so even though it feels very distant, we’re close to the main roads that go through Graham/Puyallup or Orting. Only about 5-7 minutes from the Fred Meyer located on Meridian and 176th in Puyallup. There is a large white wooden gate that is open leading into the property. Pull in and to the right, park in front of the tall garage and access the backyard through the large metal cattle gate between the garage and house. Lift it up and opening outwardly. It may be blocked from opening by a cinder block on the ground, so you can just move that out of the way. We only put it there because our girl is an escape artist and figured out how to hit it with her nose enough times to pop it open. The little turd, she’s a strong one! If you have any further questions, please don’t hesitate to ask! Thanks! We hope you and your pet enjoy your visit! We will be adding a toy bin in the near future, for now you may find a stray ball or two in the yard. Our dog is a heavy chewer, so toys don’t last long around here unfortunately. If you have any specific toy requests, feel free to let us know, we do our best to please person and pups alike! If you would like to book at a different time than what is available, please contact me. I’m pretty flexible so I’m sure we can work something out. Inflatable hot tub is now up and running, so you can add an hour of soak time to your booking if you would like 🙂 We’re going to implement a monthly “yummy thank you” for our 4 and 8 hour per month membership holders, so I encourage our patrons to sign up for a membership! Each 4 and 8 hour membership holder can pick any meal that they’d like me to make for them once per month, and I’ll make enough for 2 servings(can fix larger servings at an additional cost of $3 per person depending on desired meal.) I’m quite the maestro in the kitchen, so I promise you won’t regret it! The 8 hour monthly membership will also include a custom mocktail to go with your meal(We can always spike it with whatever liquor you bring along.) And a special treat for your pup! We can easily accommodate allergies/food aversions. All memberships come with other occasional perks/gifts as well. Thanks so much for your patronage! Have a great day!

Cleanliness

81% of guests said this spot was as clean as expected during their visit.

Hazards

Rock pile could potentially cause some sort of injury, we will not be liable for any injuries sustained on the property. Climb/play at your own risk.

Extras

Added person for hot tub$4.0

Add 2 of these if it will be 4 people using the hot tub

Clean trampoline$4.0

It’s usually slightly dirty because our kids don’t use it much these days, so just use this add-on if you’d like us to clean it before your visit. We accept no liability for any injuries sustained on the property. Added fee is just an added layer of protection for both of us.

Fire started for you$12.0

Add this for us to start the fire. Includes 2 bundles of wood with this option as well, which should last 1.5/2 hours. You can take the firewood that you don’t use with you, or leave it here and we can set it aside labeled with your name for your next visit. There would be no added cost for that. If you’d like to do a fire with your leftover firewood next time you come by, you can just add the $4 fee instead of this one. 2 hour notice preferably, but can possibly accommodate on shorter notice

Firewood and/or grill$4.0

This add-on can be used to cover 1 large bundle of wood for the fire pit(you will need to bring your own supplies to start the fire, so some paper and a lighter) or to use the charcoal grill(with your own supply of charcoal,) or use of our somewhat wonky propane grill. Only some burners work.


Inflatable Coleman Hot Tub$20.0

$20 will cover 2 people for up to 1 hour. Max 4 people, with an added $4 per person. Let me know if you have any questions. I can set it for any temperature between 100-107 degrees. Please give at least 3 hours notice if possible. We can usually accommodate on shorter notice. It’s so nice to soak in while your pup just roams the huge yard following the never ending scent trails. You can see about 90% of the yard from the hot tub, so it’s easy to keep tabs on your pups.


Outdoor heater$3.0

We can provide use of an electric heater to be used on the porch for a small fee.


S’mores or Hot Chocolate$10.0

This can be added if you would like the ingredients for 4 s’mores, or the ingredients and utensils needed to make Hot Chocolate for 4 people. We could make the hot cocoa inside if you prefer that. Please let us know at least 2 hours prior so that we can make sure we have everything we need. Don’t forget to also add the fire pit rental if you would like to prepare them yourself. We obviously can’t do the s’mores inside ourselves, but we can make a pretty awesome cup of hot cocoa!


Water to drink for hooomans$1.0

Can supply a pitcher of filtered water

    Host was very sweet and accommodating. Quick to respond too, excellent communicator. Yard was large for my three dogs to have more than enough room to run and play.

  • Alina R., Mar 11, 2023

    Lots of room, peaceful and clean. We asked for the troth to be filled with water and was done when we got there. That was a bonus. My boys enjoyed their run.

  • Bailey B., Mar 6, 2023

    We had a lot of fun! Ashley communicated well and was very friendly. Her yard was awesome and the dogs enjoyed all the sniffs and definitely left zoomed out!

    Host replied: So happy to hear that!! Glad your pups were able to get “zoomied out” as my daughter likes to say…we hope you’ll visit again! Thanks so much for your patronage!

  • Kayla A., Mar 5, 2023

    Our dog enjoyed exploring the property.

  • Gretchen V., Feb 26, 2023

    Great place, fenced and lots of cool places for sniffing!

  • Jordan B., Feb 12, 2023

    We had the fire started for us this time and it was a great perk. It kept my little one toasty while the dogs ran around.

  • Sarah M., Jan 30, 2023

    No labeled water container, the fire pit was wet and had to search for a lighter and it took about an hour to get the fire pit started. I do understand that the fee was for the use of wood, but there was no other explanation for the usage. I did hear back from the host about the provisions after checking in, I did have to extend my time so that I could spend time with my kiddo and pup. Over all we had a good time I just wish that I was more prepared to start a fire from scratch with no lighter or kindling. Definitely a learning experience, I do want to come back but it is a 30 min drive or me so I was hoping for some more accommodations for the fire pit. I had to search around for items to help start the fire which was a bit unrealistic. Over all a good time. The trampoline is dirty but that didn't seem to faze my kiddo. I just wish that I was more prepared for the unknown. TY

    Host replied: Thank you for your feedback! We aim to provide the best service possible for our patrons, so we have altered some of the extras and their descriptions. Hopefully well enough to prevent issues like this in the future, but please let us know if there’s anything more we can do. There’s a section in the wood shed that has very dry wood, that will start very easily with a few of the small logs in there as well, we are able to get it going within about 10 minutes even if it is wet, so we will make sure to set the wood that is needed out by the pit and ready to go. You’ll just need some paper and a lighter! We hope you’ll give us another chance to enjoy the yard with your pups and kiddos

  • Jordan B., Jan 29, 2023

    This was our first time coming here, and our four dogs had such a great time! Plenty of space for them to run around and play fetch.

  • Haley L., Jan 14, 2023

    Ellie and Bentley had fun! It’s big enough for the zoomies to get out for sure, and sniff

  • Michael R., Jan 8, 2023

    Yard is huge! My dog loved it! Plenty of shade for when the sun is out as well!

Meet your host

I’m a mother of two that is unable to work a normal job due to health issues, so I figured we mine as well share our yard and earn a few extra dollars here and there while we’re at it. We aren’t really morning people around here, so we would prefer bookings to be after 10am if possible. But we can be flexible if need be! If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to ask 🙂
