55Nice yard, good amount of toys too
55Was a great place to have the dogs run and enjoy their time.
45The yard itself was clean and well maintained. Normally, I wouldn’t factor neighboring dogs into a host’s rating, but one of the dogs next door (a shepherd) displayed aggressive behavior throughout our visit. He remained hypervigilant and fixated on my dogs, standing at the fence with a hard stare and tense body. Whenever one of my dogs approached, he would growl, bare his teeth in a snarl, bark, lunge at the fence, and raise his hackles. Because the fence is only a 4-foot chain-link fence, I was concerned about the possibility of the dog biting through it. Thankfully, only one of my dogs briefly approached the fence a couple of times out of curiosity and stayed at least a foot away, while my more fearful dog avoided the fence entirely. Not every dog will keep that kind of distance. The other neighboring yard also had two dogs that barked and paced along the fence line, but they did not display the same hard staring, snarling, lunging, or sustained fixation as the shepherd.
55The yard had lots of shade and a secure fence. Thanks for letting my pups play!
55Great place for a doggie play date!
55This is a great place to run the dogs. Very nice hosts
55This is a very convenient and secure yard for my dogs. I will continue to use it
55The yard was a lovely mix of shade and sun, there was fresh water set out for the dogs, and poop bags provided, too. The water feature was great for keeping my dog cool that’s prone to overheating. Thank you for sharing your yard with us!
55Very happy we picked this spot for our boy Bowser. The yard was well maintained and clean. We appreciated the fresh water bowl, toys and the giant herding ball (now we know Bowser has no interest in lol) We will definitely visit again soon!
55Our first experience renting a private space for the dogs to have off-leash play. Everything was as advertised. Nice size yard, plenty of space for the doggos to run around. Chairs were provided, as well as water for the dogs, pooper-scooper and even poop bags. Our two dogs had a great time, running around, sniffing and playing with each other. Recommend.

Welcome to our backyard—your pup’s new favorite place to play! 🐾 As a dog owner myself (with two of my own plus a foster!), I know how important it is to have a safe, secure space where dogs can run, sniff, and just be dogs. Not everyone has access to a fenced-in yard, and I wanted to open up mine so more pups can enjoy that freedom and quality time with their humans. This space is loved daily by my own dogs and foster pups, so it’s dog-tested and approved for play, zoomies, and relaxing outdoor time. I’m also the founder of Rescue Detroit Animals, a nonprofit dedicated to saving and rehoming dogs in need. When you book here, you’re also supporting a mission that helps local animals get a second chance. Learn more about our rescue: www.rescuedetroitanimals.com Whether you’re looking for a quiet place to train, play, or just unwind with your dog, we’re happy to share our space with you 💛

Welcome to our “back 40,” featuring an evergreen alcove, a small wooded walking path, lots of room to run, and tons of sticks to play with. For the humans we have a picnic table and chairs for relaxing, along with a Little Free Library! The bungee cords on the gate are to help secure it, feel free to use them if you feel the need. NOTE: We now have dog-safe drinking water from our rain barrels. There is a blue hose on the ground at the fence, just turn the knob for water. 💧 Special note for June and July: it’s mulberry season, and boy have we got ‘em (fortunately they are not toxic to dogs). Please note that our parking spot and part of our Sniffspot are covered by mulberry trees, so you *will* get berries on your shoes. Dress accordingly! 👍🏼
