Carleigh's Fully Fenced Yard in Linglestown!

Welcome to our spacious, fully fenced-in yard—perfect for dogs who love to run, sniff, and explore! There’s plenty of room for your pup to stretch their legs, and since our own dogs live here, the yard is full of exciting scents to keep them happily engaged. You may spot some neighborhood wildlife like bunnies, squirrels, and birds passing through, which can add a little extra enrichment for curious pups. No need to worry about keeping dogs out of garden areas—the space is designed to be dog-friendly and stress-free. Our neighbors do have dogs who may occasionally be outside, but not consistently. Rest assured, our dogs will be kept indoors during your visit so your pup can enjoy the space. Feel free to relax in the screened-in porch while your dog plays. We provide thoughtful extras like towels for muddy paws, bug spray, and sunscreen for your comfort. There will also be fresh water and treats available for your furry friend! We know how hard it can be when dogs don’t have a yard to enjoy, so we’re excited to share ours with you. We hope you and your pup have a wonderful time!

Aussie's Oasis

Enjoy our perfect, not so perfect oasis while you visit! We have 3 Australian shepherds that enjoy our yard so much that they wanted to share it with you. We can leave a water dish as well as poo bags and a scoop, whatever you choose. We also have corn hole/ladder toss available if you would like to play while watching your pup(s) play! (Please ask in advance for yard games and I’ll put them out) Parking is in the driveway, you simply enter the backyard through the gate on the left. Please make sure to close the gate behind you. Grill is not available for use. Both shed and home are locked at all times. Please clean up after your dog(s) and watch them carefully. Take care of my things as you would your own. We hope you enjoy as much as we do! Disclaimer: We HAVE ring security cameras at both the entrance and rear of home. Another thing I’d like to add is: While we are at work, our dogs ARE inside and you will most likely hear them barking. If you’d rather have less distractions to enhance your time, I’d recommend booking during evening hours (after 5:30 PM) to give me an opportunity to get my dogs out of the house and/or on the weekend with notice. We also live next to a major highway, separated by a large sound barrier, but not recommended for dogs with high sound sensitivity.

Jesse's Little slice of country

The “Field” is your spot for running and fun. The small back yard area is not part of the spot, so please do not enter the yard. Enjoy! Wet season brings some pretty serious mud! Be prepared!
