Alli's Fully Fenced Yard For Dogs To Rent In Westmont
Hello! My name is Alli and I’m excited to share my yard with all the amazing doggies and their humans! My yard has a long stretch of grass that is perfect for playing fetch.

Fully Fenced Dog Oasis In Naperville
This inviting oasis is the perfect haven for dogs and their owners in Naperville. With its fully fenced boundaries, it provides a secure and friendly environment for everyone to enjoy. The primary features of this spot include a well-maintained grassy backyard, partially shaded for those hot days, and a paver patio with ample seating options for you to relax and unwind. As the sun sets, the patio comes to life with well-placed lighting, creating a cozy atmosphere for evening gatherings. One of the standout features is the large bucket of dog toys available on the patio, ensuring that your furry friends have plenty of options to keep them entertained. But the oasis isn't just for the dogs. Children can have a blast here too. There's a kids' playground with various amenities like a web swing and trampoline to keep them happily occupied while the pups play. For the little ones, there's a kids' toy chest filled with a variety of toys, although it's important to ensure that your dog doesn't mistake them for chew toys.

Fully Fenced Yard For Dogs To Rent In Lombard
We live on a corner lot. There is a high, spaced fence along the public sidewalk. There is a kiddie pool (during summer), a rain garden (not really for the dogs, but in case you're worried about water it can temporarily fill up during and after heavy rainfall), and some agility equipment (four jumps and six weave poles) upon request. Easiest access to the yard is to park on E Taylor and enter through the north gate. There is a tall, silver trash can on the patio for any human trash. There is a short, silver trash can near the north gate entrance for Dog Bags. Please enjoy a patio chair, dog toys, sunscreen, bug spray, and hammock (weather permitting). Backyard is East Facing so gets lots of morning sun. There is a sun shade over part of the patio but the patio area is 100% shaded by 3:30-4p, the yard is ~50% shaded by 6p, ~100% shaded by 7p.

The Red Door Salt Creek Sanctuary - Fully Fenced 1/2 Acre
Fall/Winter update: the yard is DARK after 5pm. Hose is off for winterization, so please bring water. Our 1/2 acre fully fenced dog-friendly yard is here to host your special furry friends. We live a short, straight-shot drive from Chicago and are butt-up against the beautiful Salt Creek (and all the wild life that also calls the creek "home" - bunnies, squirrels, groundhogs, birds, garden snakes (harmless, but present in May), etc.). The head of Salt Creek Trail is located just a block away on Thomas Street, so feel free to explore the creek/trail after your yard time. It leads all the way to Villa Park, where you can catch the Prairie Path / Great Western Trail. You'll pass by MORE Brewing Company as well as outdoor bar and food trucks Fuel and Creme (ice cream). Make a day of it! Please note that even though the yard IS fully fenced, it is comprised of a variety of sizes shapes ranging from 6 feet privacy, raw iron, to 4 foot chain-link, barn wood with chicken wire between the wood gaps. You know your dog's "flight risk" better than anyone, so please make smart decisions when booking our yard. Dispose of poop bags in the BLUE TOP bin (green is recycle). Finally, note that we can only host 2 dogs at a time due to wear and tear on the yard. Have fun!
