Description

UPDATE - The city has been out and has sent a letter to the owner to remove the tree. It can take up to 30 days to be removed. I will open up the calendar when the tree is gone. Thanks!! I had to close my spot for some time due to a neighbors tree hanging over my yard that is unsafe. I am working with the city to correct the situation but it will take time. So sorry!! Welcome to Gracie’s Oasis & Catio! A Private Sanctuary for Pups and Cats ​Gracie’s Oasis is a fully-fenced, well-maintained yard in Brooklyn Park designed for pets who need a safe, quiet place to play. Whether you have a reactive dog who needs zero-distraction time or you're looking for a peaceful spot to hang out with your pets, we’ve got you covered. ​🐾 Featured Amenity: The Catio ​We are proud to offer a dedicated onsite Catio! If you’re looking for a secure outdoor experience for your feline friends, this is the spot. ​Note: Please give me a heads-up if you’re bringing a cat—I will happily set out a litter box and fresh water at no extra charge! ​🏡 Perfect for Home Showings ​If you are currently selling your home and need a reliable, private place to relax with your pets during a showing or open house, the Oasis provides a stress-free environment for both dogs and cats. ​✨ Multiple Seating Areas: ​Dining Set: A table with four chairs—perfect for a meal or getting some work done. ​Bonfire Seating: A dedicated area around the fire pit (please note: the fire pit is for seating only and not for active use). ​Hammock: The ultimate spot to relax while your pets explore. ​✨ What to Expect: ​Total Privacy: We are resident animal owners, but we keep our pets inside and blackout curtains drawn during your stay to ensure your pups have the yard all to themselves with zero visual distractions. ​Easy Access: Feel free to park in the driveway for safer and easier loading/unloading of your fur-babies. ​Fully Stocked: We provide fresh water in a sanitized bowl that hasn't been shared with other guests, dog treats, waste bags, a scoop, and an onsite garbage can for easy disposal. For your comfort and safety, we also provide sanitizing wipes, and both human and pet-safe bug spray.

Welcome to the Oasis! I’ve been head-over-paws in love with animals for as long as I can remember. This space was truly built for the whole family—dogs, cats, and humans alike! Whether your pups are running the yard, your cats are exploring the catio, or you’re relaxing in the hammock, I hope you and all your fur-babies feel right at home.

Rice Creek Sniffspot

Fully Fenced
1.3 acres

A large, open 1.25 acre fenced in yard with multiple small hills that is bordered on the west side by a public walking trail (with 6 foot fence) and on the north side by Rice Creek (with 5 foot fence). Note that the creek is not directly accessible from the Sniffspot. During the winter months, deer and foxes pass just outside of the fenced in yard, while in warmer months the creek entices additional wildlife as well as the occasional canoeist or kayak. Agility equipment pictured are available during the warmer months and are not available in the winter. There's abundant street parking as we are located at a dead-end. Please do not park in the driveway. Enter the yard using the gate located to the left of the garage.
