We have a fully fenced yard with plenty of space in the backyard.

My back yard has a gated entrance that is secured on the inside for the safety of your pet while in the spot! Fully fenced, with some opps for sniffing other dogs through the fence. There is a chance for occasionally seeing other people and dogs but not in close contact. My pup and I will be inside, but he will probably greet you with barking. It’s a great backyard with a good space for your pup to get some off leash time. Upon request there is a puppy pool that can be put out for your pup! Seating and a table for pup parents that the majority of the day is shaded but midafternoon there is strong sun till sunset. There willl be an umbrella and stand if you would like to use that for shade. The yard is sunny most of the day. I will request picking up after your pet there is a chance there could be some piles from my own dog but I do have a service that does a weekly (Tuesday)pick up there will be a 5 gallon bucket for waste disposal, I do have a scooper that has bag clips I would ask that all poos are bagged before disposal please. If you have a high energy dog I highly recommend sitting at the top of the stairs and throwing a ball to the back corner of the yard! Wears out every Aussie I know!

Fully fenced yard with a hill, tree and views! Our dog, Levi, personally loves laying in the sun by the fire pit, talking to the neighbor dogs and enjoying the view (watching deer, turkey, rabbits). There are a couple places with a slight gap under the fence where a small dog could squeeze under.

My goal is to give local dogs who do not have their own fenced in yard, a place to safely play/sniff/explore off leash without having to drive far. I have a history of volunteering, fostering, and adopting reactive dogs who do not do well playing with others, so I understand normal dog parks are not great for all dogs. *Proceeds benefit Cedar Valley Pitbull Rescue

We have wonderful views and plenty of space. Many trees that provide shade on hot days. Parking is available at our shop at the bottom of the hill. Our property is not fenced, but it is a beautiful getaway if you live in the city.

Bring the kids too From not my mine but open to the public Memorial Day to Labor Day kid splash pad just to the east in the opposite parking lot playground equipment also.

Huge 4 acre open area to roam with a bunch of nice massive shade trees, apple and pear trees. Tables and chairs available to hangout. Make yourself at home.

An acre of land to frolic in and sniff out wildlife.

We are approximately 10 acres of woodland grass, and native prairie, located on a gravel road with perimeter fencing, but not gate fencing. Dog owners must assume responsibility for their digs and their safety. There is lots of room to roam and play, but dogs can run outside of perimeter if not monitored and/or controlled. There will be no other dogs out and about during a booked visit, however there will be dogs in the house.

Land is out in the country, creek nearby and accessible. Lots of area to run and explore.

In the summer, we have a kiddie pool for the pups to cool off in. During warmer months there is a hose hooked up to fill a water bowl. Lots of room to roam and dog toys already scattered about the Yard! Feel free to play fetch, but leave for our next guests. If there are kids toys out, your children may use at your own risk. We do have 2 dogs of our own that will likely bark out the window. They are friendly and well socialized but jealous they aren't playing too! We also have cats that may be sitting in a window.

Just a nice little fenced-in backyard in the “Ghetto” 😉

Very big backyard with vinyl fence. Lots of room to run and play and occasionally we will take individual walks around the block.

A place of love and respect

Tucked away on the west side of town we have about 1.2 acres of land. You can see the large back yard and it continues behind the back garage and then the woods start. The trails are overgrown but you’re welcome to walk through the area.

Just about 3 acres to run and explore! We have quad runners you can rent if your dog enjoys running at fast speeds! It is also the quickest way to tire them out 😜

Come enjoy our open back yard with plenty of room to run & play. I've had a high energy dog that was stuck living in an apartment for almost a year so I completely understand the need for somewhere that they can be free to run. I occasionally babysit other dogs. (Open to petsitting for others as well) All will be inside & unvisible during your visit. Currently unfenced, however looking into fencing soon. Just ordered a dog pool with optional sprinkler! Any accommodations that would make our spot more ideal for your pup? I would love to hear some suggestions. Feel free to message any questions or concerns. We look forward to sharing our little peice of the country with you!
