Ayanna's Fully Fenced Yard For Dogs To Rent In Matteson

Fully Fenced
0.02 acres

Welcome to Ayanna’s Fully Fenced Yard, a spacious, safe, and tail-wagging paradise designed for dogs to run, play, and just be dogs. Located in Matteson, this private yard offers the perfect environment for off-leash fun, training sessions, or relaxing outdoor time with your pup. 🌿 Space & Safety This large, fully enclosed yard gives dogs the freedom they crave without compromising safety. The sturdy fencing wraps securely around the entire property, making it ideal for small, medium, and large breeds alike. Whether your dog loves to sprint, explore, or practice recall, there’s more than enough room to move comfortably. 🐕 Play & Enrichment The yard is built for fun and stimulation. Expect plenty of open grassy space for fetch, tug-of-war, and zoomies. You can also incorporate: Training drills (perfect for obedience or K9 work) Agility-style play setups Socialization sessions in a controlled environment This makes it a great option for dog owners, trainers, and working dog handlers. 🌳 Comfort & Relaxation Shaded areas provide relief on warmer days, while open sunny spots are perfect for dogs who love to bask. There’s space for owners to sit back, supervise, or even enjoy a peaceful break while their dog explores. 💧 Convenience Features To make your visit easy and enjoyable: Fresh water access for hydration Room to bring toys, training tools, or equipment Clean, well-maintained grounds 🎯 Perfect For: High-energy dogs that need space to run Private playtime away from crowded dog parks Training sessions (obedience, protection, or behavior work) Puppy socialization in a controlled setting Dog birthdays, playdates, or small group meetups 🐾 The Experience Ayanna’s yard isn’t just a space—it’s a safe, stress-free environment where dogs can be themselves. No crowded parks, no unpredictable encounters—just freedom, safety, and fun. If you want, I can turn this into a booking listing (like Sniffspot style) with pricing, rules, and add-ons to help you start making money from it.

The Barkyard – 1.8 Acre Fully Fenced Private Dog Park

Fully Fenced
1.8 acres

This is a private, fully fenced backyard made for zoomies, sniffing adventures, and tail-wagging fun. It’s a calm, cozy space where dogs can run free, explore every corner, or simply flop down and relax. While the yard itself is all yours during your visit, other animals and pets may be seen or heard nearby, so there’s always something interesting to watch or listen to. Whether your dog is here to sprint, sniff, or sunbathe, we hope they leave happy, tired, and dreaming of their next visit!

The property has pasture fencing. There is three rail pasture fence and a large fenced 60x40 ft. Dog run off the house.A private four acre area with a shallow creek, an agility area (weather permitting), park like setting. Recommend that dogs be reliable off leash with recalls etc. The area can also be used to do some basic hunt training with your bumpers, etc. A nice setting if you want to go for long leash walk around the property and driveway. Great place to train puppies on a long line recall and get them for a quiet walk on leash.

Half acre fenced in with gazebo chairs table. Filled kiddie pool on request.. it’s pretty private and serene. There is a playground, sandbox, swing in the tree and plenty of toys.
