Friendly neighborhood backyard

Fully Fenced
0.3 acres

Great spot with room to run, toys, some agility equipment, and seasonal plastic fur kid pool! Fully fenced: 1 side privacy fence, 2 sides chain link, and one side with the house and gate. Added FYIs: - Place bagged poop in the small garbage bin. 🗑️💩 - Please do not allow pups to dig or to enter the small separately fenced garden. 🌱🪏 - If you remember, it helps to throw "fetch" in lots of different directions to spread out the "wear and tear." IF something goes over the fence, do please just let us know (we will contact the neighbor)--**do not** physically step over the fence (it causes fence damage) 🏡 🤳🏻 - "Same day" bookings will probably have the bedtime and morning 💩 from my pups since I routinely only pick up after work during warm months. If you book 24+ hours in advance I can squeeze in an extra poo pickup before work. - *WINTER I pick up weekly, weather-permitting, so might NOT be a great spot for pups who eat poopsicles--you know who you are! 💩 ❄️ 🐶 🍨🍦 limited daylight and full time hospital work hours (I go to work and come home in the dark)

Ultimate Sniffing Experience in Roseville!

Fully Fenced
0.25 acres

Nearly 1/3 of an acre in Roseville available for your dog to sniff until their heart’s content! Open mowed grassy area wide enough for zoomies and long enough for fetch, as well as natural/unmanicured shaded areas for “jungle sniffari’s”. Not far off of Highway 36 and 35E, enjoy the perks of room to run while having the privacy of your own space. Plenty of seating for humans underneath a shaded gazebo, with a table and basic amenities for guest use. Please be aware that we do have other dogs in the neighborhood. This includes our direct neighbors to the north, who we share a chain link fence with. If you are visiting on an evening or weekend, there’s a good chance their dog will be outside also!

"Lots of good nooks and crannies to smell!" more

Maplewood Farm Dog Retreat | 5-Acre Nature Escape

Fully Fenced
5 acres

Welcome to Maplewood Farm Dog Retreat -- a peaceful 5-acre nature escape in south Maplewood near Battle Creek, just minutes from I-94 & McKnight. This is still undeveloped farmland, roughly the size of a city block, tucked into the suburbs, with rolling hills, mature trees, wooded trails, open field space, wildlife sightings and scents (ton of bunnies!), and a very different feel from a typical backyard spot. Dogs get room to run, sniff, explore, and decompress away from crowded dog parks, while hoomans can breathe, sit under the trees, or bring family for a simple picnic. Peaceful and private, but still only minutes from St. Paul. For history buffs, the property also has the only standing barn in Maplewood, built in 1896, still in its original form and in use, plus a couple apple trees that add to the old farm feel. QUICK 30-MIN VISITS are great for dogs who just need to burn energy fast, stretch their legs, or take a quick potty break. The main fenced play area is approx. 60 ft x 100 ft and great for off-leash play, fetch, zoomies, tug with the spring pole, and burning off energy. It’s easy to access near the street, and parking is right next to the gate, so it’s quick to get in, let your pup run, do their business, and head out. Many amenities inside the fenced area, including shaded seating and a hammock. For 30-min visits, please use the fenced play area only. Water play/running water is not included, and I usually won’t come out to greet you so you can make the most of your time. For the FULL MAPLEWOOD FARM EXPERIENCE, I recommend booking 1-2 hours. That gives you time to enjoy the fenced play area plus a slower long-leash walk around the block-long property, full of wildlife scents, wooded trails, scenic views, open field space, nooks and crannies, and peaceful places to take in nature. For longer visits, there is also a self-serve water-play area with a splash pad and overhead sprinkler/mister, plus a sprayer if you want to rinse or bathe your pup on the grass. For longer visits, a good route usually starts in the fenced area, then continues through the back gate into the wooded trail system. You can loop toward the house and barn (you may hear my dogs bark), continue through the mature forest trail, use the runner trolley system for semi-free roaming, then circle back toward the open field. Signs are posted to help guide you. This is a natural, dog-friendly space, not a suburban yard. Dogs are welcome to explore, climb on log and wood chip piles, chew or pull on tree branches, sniff around, dig in appropriate natural areas, and enjoy the property in whatever way feels safe and appropriate to you. I’m not precious about the landscape here, esp since the property may be developed next year. While it’s still here, I want our furry friends to have it and enjoy it. Foster dogs and dogs with physical or sensory challenges are welcome to visit for a steep discount. Since I live and work on-site, the spot is open pretty much anytime, from early morning to midnight, so you can book around your dog’s energy, the weather, or your own schedule. This spot is night-friendly -- the house is set farther back from the play area, so normal dog play is totally fine. I recently installed LED night lights so pups can still burn energy after sundown, and nighttime is much cooler for dogs on hot days. Bug spray/defogger available. Supervised campfire use available, private message me. Great for those who work odd hours, or anyone who wants a relaxed, super undistracted evening visit. As a dog lover and builder, I pay attention to how pups actually use the space and make small improvements as I go. Your feedback is im-paw-tant to me! 🐾 🐾 Valeng and paw friends 🐾 🐾

Birdtown Bliss

Fully Fenced
0.2 acres

Perfect for reactive dogs! Located just off highway 100 and minutes from Minneapolis. This SniffSpot features a corner lot with only one direct neighbor and a full privacy fence! The 0.2 acre privacy-fenced yard is the ultimate spot for zoomies, fetch, and water fun. Nestled in a quiet area, this backyard gives your dogs total off-leash freedom without the stress of public dog parks. The star of the yard is a large, clean kiddie pool and ample shade to keep your pups cool on warm day. The only direct neighbor does not have dogs, making this a peaceful retreat for both playful and sensitive pups. Plenty of room for Sniffaris, zoomies, and recall training in a new and enriching environment for your dog! Easy commute from Minneapolis without the stress of a dog park. We offer water fun, toys, a shaded dog bed, water, and treats for your pups plus shaded comfortable seating for you and your friends to keep an eye while your dogs play their hearts out.
