Location

Lake Forest Park, Washington

Description

Escape with your pup to this forested haven on a spacious 1+ acre lot with fenced 0.25 acres. The tree canopy keeps the air comfortably cool, offering the perfect refuge from the summer heat. Nearby, a babbling creek beckons, providing a serene setting to immerse yourself in the sounds of nature, meditate, and recharge. The naturally wooded terrain may be uneven with long grass, brush, and fallen branches, but ample seating including swings, trampoline, and hammock are provided for you to enjoy while your dog romps. We advise caution and close supervision with small unleashed dogs due to occasional coyotes and bobcats in the area (although they are naturally wary of humans and we’ve had no real-life run-ins, only caught on trail cam). If you're lucky, you may spot a great blue heron, barred owl, spawning salmon, or even a river otter. Our spot is ideal for dogs and their humans who seek a peaceful oasis just minutes from the city.

Cleanliness

100% of guests said this spot was as clean as expected during their visit.

Hazards

HOST NOTE

1) Our yard is largely wooded and 100% free of pesticides which means there will be weeds, prickly bushes, and other native vegetation. There will also be soft soil, possible animal burrows, tree roots, fallen branches, and uneven terrain. If you require a flat, mowed yard with complete visibility this is not the Sniffspot for you. 2) Please refrain from using the slide and the dismantled playset which is temporarily stored in the area (swings, trampoline, and hammock ok). 3) Please use caution with the steps and wood plank/log walkway by the creek. Sturdy footwear advised. **We are looking to improve the steps leading to the creek but currently it is comprised of steep, uneven, narrow cinder blocks without a handrail. See photos for reference. 4) We have a couple trail cams set up near the creekside to capture wildlife activity; if you prefer to have them turned off or removed for your visit, please give us advance notice and we'd be happy to accommodate. 5) Please make sure dogs are leashed in creek area and please keep them from disturbing wildlife. Our property ends near the leaning maple tree (see pic for reference); please keep dogs within that boundary. Thank you!

Andrea's Fully Fenced Yard For Dogs To Rent In Lynnwood

Fully Fenced

0.17 acres

Let your pup enjoy plenty of room to run, sniff, and get those zoomies out in our spacious, fully fenced yard. While they play, you can kick back and relax in the shaded seating area—it’s a great spot for both dogs and their humans to unwind. Please Note: There is a small gap at the entrance that tiny dogs (like Chihuahuas) might fit through. Just give me a heads-up, and I’ll make sure it’s safely blocked before your visit.

Valentina's 0.5 Acre Fully Fenced Private Dog Park In Bothell

Fully Fenced

0.5 acres

Hi there! We have a big backyard that my dogs enjoy often. It is fully fenced yard but you could see any pedestrian or dog that walks on the street, about 25 ft away. I have three dogs, two under 20lbs and a 60lb black lab but they will be inside the house at all time during your stay (unless you want a play buddy!). You do not have to pick up after your dog but if you do, you can throw it away at the provided trash can. Feel free to reach out with any questions!

Securely fenced, parking spot along the yard in the alley, bistro lights over the yard for winter evening or early AM visits. Our rain cover recently was damaged by wind and we had to take it down. Sorry for the inconvenience. There is a deck that you can stand beneath for some protection from the elements though! Chairs for lounging humans. WiFi network available. *there is a spigot on the back of the house at the bottom of the stairs to fill the water bowl if it happens to be empty.
