Zoomie Zone. Fully Fenced Yard For Dogs To Rent In Marlborough

Fully Fenced
0.25 acres

🐾 Welcome! Welcome to a relaxed, dog-friendly yard where dogs can be dogs. The yard is fully fenced with two side entrances. For the easiest access, please park on the left side of the house and use the left-side gate (not the driveway side). This isn't a perfectly manicured lawn. Sniffing, zoomies, and some digging are all welcome. Digging is fair game. Just keep excavation projects away from the house and short grass to avoid creating ankle twisters. The yard was previously home to multiple dogs, so your pup may stumble across the occasional hidden toy or mystery bone. There is a milk crate if old bones and balls found you are welcome to. Located on a quiet no-through street, you'll likely see neighbors walking dogs, kids playing, and hear the distant sounds of the elementary school behind the back fence. It's all part of the neighborhood soundtrack. There's plenty of shade, chairs (feel free to move them wherever you'd like), and usually something blooming throughout the season. Want to be hands free but don't trust your dog off leash. There is a cable line with a clip attached to the large tree in the center of the backyard, the one surrounded by rocks, but the line is short. You'll need to bring a longer leash line to attach. The back porch belongs to the house, so we ask that dogs keep the party in the yard. A quick sniff is fine, but please close the porch gate if it's open. Water is available from the spigot just inside the left gate, and a water bowl is provided. Hours: Sun up to sun down. The house has several people coming and going throughout the day. If your dog is reactive or aggressive toward people, we'd still love to host you. Just send a message and give us a few days notice before your visit so we can let everyone know to avoid the yard during your reservation. We want every guest, both two- and four-legged, to have a safe, stress-free visit. The back fence has a few small gaps. They haven't been an issue yet, but every dog is different. If your pup discovers an escape route, please let me know! I'll have my handyman patch it up before the next adventure. Meet Rascal: Our fluffy black cat and self-appointed neighborhood supervisor. He's a teddy bear with people but can be territorial with other animals and may try to boss around smaller dogs. WiFi Network: ZoomieZone Password: CantCatchMe Thanks for visiting! I hope you and your pup have a fantastic time. If you have suggestions or notice anything that could make the space even better, I'd love to hear from you. I'm always looking for ways to improve the yard for both dogs and their humans.
