Welcome to our Backyard Nature Retreat

If your dog(s) loves sniffing, exploring, and experiencing nature, you've found the perfect spot. Our backyard isn't a perfectly manicured lawn—it's a peaceful, park-like woodland oasis filled with natural scents, textures, and wildlife that encourage healthy enrichment for curious pups. Wander through a landscape of tree stumps, logs, stones, woodland plants, wetlands, wild strawberries, flowering trees, rose bushes, lilacs, hostas, boxwoods, common ivy, and seasonal blooms. Listen to birds chirping while your dog explores. You may spot red cardinals, robins, and many other songbirds enjoying our bird feeders and bird bath. There are countless sights, sounds, and scents for dogs to investigate, and depending on the season and time of day, you may also see rabbits, squirrels, bees, butterflies, fireflies, snails, ladybugs, and other fascinating wildlife. For humans, we've created cozy places to relax while your pup plays. Enjoy our antique iron park bench nestled among the gardens or gather around the fire pit area with our bright orange camping stools. An elevated hill offers another fun place for dogs to explore, and a water hose is available if your pup needs a quick drink or rinse. Property Information Fully fenced backyard for off-leash play. Additional unfenced side yard is available if desired. Please enter through the fence gate on the Devon Drive side of the house (it will be open). Please park along the side of the house—there is ample parking. No resident pets on the property, though you may see or hear neighborhood dogs. Please Note Please stay off the deck and deck stairs. You're welcome to relax anywhere else in the backyard. Please pick up after your dog and take all trash with you before leaving. Tips are always appreciated but never expected. Every booking helps us continue maintaining and beautifying this little wildlife sanctuary and expanding the gardens for both people and pups to enjoy. We hope you and your furry friend have a peaceful, sniff-filled adventure!

Watch your dog learn with a mirror at dog height, a PVC tube where you talk in one end and the dog listens on the other, start a tug of war on lariet rope, let your dog tumble after a ball on the green hill. Dogs experience the texture of river rocks, mulch, digging dirt, tall grass, rocks, a shallow vintage tub and a sometimes slippery grassy hill. Too chilly? Rent the fire pit! (see extras) Does your dog love the beach? Borrow the Resident Dog Beach Pass to access the private Chesapeake Bay Beach 0.4 miles down the street (free with bookings 2+ hours). Forget a dog towel or snacks? ...or even if you didn't, check out the $5 pet supplies bargain bin. The place accommodates people and pets with disabilities. With advance notice you can back your vehicle directly into the yard. About your host - I was an AirBnB Superhost in downtown Annapolis running a dog-friendly place. When I moved to Pasadena I wanted to continue the tradition, of welcoming both sides of the leash.
