King of Cary

***Naturally treat our yard in the summer so that our guests can enjoy As a rescuer, I totally understand some dogs just can't do social (myself, most of the time too), so dog park is a No. SniffSpot is an option for those special pooches. Quiet private Oasis for guests, private 100% fenced yard, sloped grass yard with 3 patio area. A lot to sniff, a lot of stairs to work out those legs. Very clean yard since I pick up after my own dogs daily. You can sit and relax or enjoy your book or bring a date. Squirrels and birds will make your visit more exciting. We're only 3 mins from Fenton, 2 mins from Downtown Cary. Sometimes I provide water (If I'm home and only one booking) you can get water from garden hose just make sure to shut off the faucet, water rate in Cary is outrageous 😳 Please msg us if you don't see any availability 😀8

Ashley's 1 Acre Fully Fenced Private Dog Park In Raleigh

It’s not fancy but it’s safe. All of our dogs have loved this big forested back yard. Plenty of space to run around and sniff all the things. Plenty of shade and we will provide water of course. All of our dogs have crossed on so no interference or need to keep anyone separated. We do have a neighbor that occasionally brings dogs but that’s only resulted in some barking. It’s fully fenced. We’ve been here 14 years with happy dogs. We also have a big back deck to lounge on. We do have a couple of neighborhood kitty cats that come around. They are used to dogs or will just hide if they get skittish.
