Day of visit host sent a welcome email to let me know where to park, also host left a lemonade drink, treats for the pup, sanitizer, poo bags, and toys under the umbrella. Very thoughtful. The yard is very safe and secure, highly recommend!!Gail C.

55My large breed dog loved stretching her legs and exploring. She also enjoyed the provided toys. The property had several trees providing comfort from the sun for us humans. The yard was well kept and she enjoyed rolling in the grass. There was patio furniture available, but we spent most of the time playing fetch. We would definitely visit again. Alexandria B.

55We had a great experience ! Marg sent specific instructions about how to access and use the spot. Our pup had a great time sniffing around for the majority of the time in such a large space and was able to run his little heart out. We will definitely book again! Tayler W.

55Amazing experience for everyone. I brought my 2 pups here to play and they had a blast. As an owner of a reactive dog, it was such a nice experience to give him and watch him be a dog and feel safe. The yard was perfect and we will be back again. Judah R.

5510/10 recommend!! I have a reactive dog who doesn’t do well at dog parks. Well let me tell you, this place really is your own personal dog park! The yard is humongous! It is a little slice of Heaven with the old trees and garden. There is a basket of toys and dog bowl for water. Owner is very thoughtful and also has a beautiful yard that you and your pet will love. Will definitely be back! Chelsea S.

55This very large backyard is completely fenced with a beautiful and secure wood fence, very safe for pups to run without giving their humans a worry of a potential escape. Lots of room to retrieve balls and play with toys. Very well maintained.Carol H.

How do I know if a small dog park works for my dog?
Start by applying basic filters, such as fencing and distractions, to find a dog park that works for your furry friends.
