Rent safe and private small dog parks hosted by locals in Northfield, Minnesota

Welcome from the Oak Ridge Standard Poodles and their humans! We invite you to stop by and visit! The yard is fully enclosed with a 6 foot bamboo privacy fence and there is plenty of room to run and play. You'll have full access to a yard level deck, two patios, and a fire pit. There are chairs and tables in various spots year round. When the weather allows, there is a sectional couch, dog cots, and hammocks as well. The water bowl is large and can be filled/refreshed as needed from the outdoor water spigot under the deck. During your visit, you'll find complimentary dog treats, toys, towels, wipes, and more! There will be regular sized poop bags as well as larger plastic bags for any cleanup needs you may have. We also provide bottled water for the humans as well as sanitizer, bug spray, and sunscreen if needed. The resident dogs cannot see you from anywhere in the yard, even if your pups wander to the top of the deck stairs. The resident dogs may bark on rare occasions from inside the house. You may also hear neighborhood children at the nearby park. One of our next door neighbors has dogs that could be outside in their fenced yard and may see you upon arrival. However, once you are inside the sniff spot, those dogs will not be able to see you. Guest Wi-Fi: Network-sniffspot Password-sniffspot Parking/Security- We strongly prefer that you pull into the driveway and park on the left side close to the house/garage. Once parked, this area is not visible to our dogs from inside the home, which means they are less likely to bark hello greetings. 🐩 It also means the curious/friendly/inquisitive neighbors will not approach you. Gated access to the sniff spot is on the left side of our home just a few feet from the designated/recommended parking area. The gate is secured with a lock that is opened with a code. You may wish to unlock the gate first and then get your pup out of the vehicle. Security cameras monitor all outdoor spaces. We look forward to your visit and welcome any recommendations in order to make the Oak Ridge Sniff Spot your go-to destination! 🐩

Our Sniffspot is less than 10 min off 35W. The space if fully fenced and almost a full acre. This fence is along the road and isn't connected to any buildings. The space is a gradual hill so you will get a workout walking around the space.

This is an ideal spot being just a half block west of 35W and only 10 minutes from 40th and Lyndale Av. S. or South Burnsville. We are doing a slow yard clean-up and adding some things so only $5 for the month of May, then we go to $6...plenty of room for dogs to run right here in the city. Backyard is approximately 64 X 80 and mostly green so far.

Fully fenced acre backyard with a huge patio, chairs and table, a pavilion with couches, and lots of places for pups to play (and for humans to relax!). There is a big hill. All are welcome, and this is also a great spot for nervous or anxious dogs to feel safe and run free! Please note during winter (nov-end of April) the following things are not available due to snow and freezing temps: chairs, toys, water, bags and hoses ❄️ you’re welcome to bring your own chairs!

The property is under 5 acres in a residential rural community. There is lots of unfenced yard as well as a mostly fenced pasture (electric fence is NOT on). Would work best for dogs that need to run or play that listen to their owner and are not likely to run off as the fencing was designed to keep livestock in the pasture, not dogs.

Private and spacious for your dog or dogs to run around and play freely. Seating (along with table) provided for the owners. Water and toys also provided for the dogs. Peaceful, quiet, safe neighborhood. Parking is provided on the side of the house or anywhere along the cul da sac. Please don’t park on the driveway due to the fact that my family is constantly coming and going (I wouldn’t want to interrupt your time by having you move your car). No need to worry about walking far, looking for parking, or getting a ticket. Easy access to come and go.

Plenty of room to run with a stock tank pool for keeping cool in the summer.

Our angel pup Maia would love for furry friends young and old, big or small to sniff and run in what was her favorite place on the planet! We want to share our big and lovely yard with as many beautiful 4-legged and 2-legged creatures as possible to honor her memory!

We are blocking a bit more time so our kiddos can play outside. If you and your dog don't mind kids in the driveway or backyard (away from trails), you're more than welcome to come. Message me and I'll open the calendar for you! **Fostering a dog? Message for special discounts** This is our private residence. Our dogs love walking the trails, sprinting through the woods, and diving through the prairie grasses. We love offering other pups the chance to enjoy it too! The trails are mostly wooded, and there is a ravine with a small creek (often dry in the summer). There are areas of trails, woods, prairie, and mowed grass. There is a barbed-wire fence marking the property line around the property, however it is not fully-fenced. Your dog will need to know to stay close enough to you or respond to your calls. **No shared water dish provided currently due to Canine Flu going on in the state. If you would like to access a hose to fill your own containers please let us know** *The ticks are out!* 10% of all profit is donated to dog rescue organizations

Fenced in yard in the city great for running. Can be muddy. Easy access from 494. On street free parking.

My wife and I have a nice semi-forested fully fenced backyard in Minnetonka. Our neighborhood is very dog friendly. Our 3 yr old Labradoodle Pepper spends countless hours playing, sniffing, and napping in it. Thanks for looking! PS - We have chickens secured inside their coop in the fenced in area. Your dog may be very distracted with them, FYI!

Comfortable seating with a well kept yard!

Spacious and safe, this backyard is much loved by the house dog as it provides ample space for romping, fetch, sniffs galore, squirrel, bird, and rabbit watching. Lots of grass, flowers, bushes, and trees, with a hill on each side of the yard. Perfect spot to let your dog get those zoomies out of their system!

** Feb- March 2024 Winter ** The DogYard is paused for winter. We have enjoyed a wonderful season with y’all and we are grateful to you for taking care of the yard like it was your own. We will be looking to add some additional items for the new season too and look forward to welcoming you back. So join us in Spring! Enjoy a good romp in a large back yard. Perfect spot for all dogs to just be dogs. 5ft fence with plenty of space for 2 leggeds to sit and relax. Place to dig, play, run and chill. Pricing includes ALL amenities. There is a tug toy/flirt pole that has been a hit too. We will continue to add fun toys for your pups enjoyment.

The riverbed, grass field, and smaller fenced area are all open for play! We have a beautiful piece of land with a mostly fenced perimeter and 1/3 acre fully fenced doggy play area. If you drive in by the picnic table you are in the center of 18 acres to play on and will be quite a distance from the road. There are mowed walking paths to the beautiful Kinnickinnic river, far away from other people and animals. You and your dog will love it here! The river is cold and easy for dogs to hop in and out, (not easy for humans right now). If you want to keep them out of the water there is about 10 acres of open field where you park, separate and above the river so you don't need to have them down by the water at all. (although most dogs gravitate to there!)

PLEASE READ BEFORE VISITING: • 🐕 ‼️ 👀 DOG NEXT DOOR: There is a dog that lives next door to the south that is sometimes outside in the backyard. She is a friendly, excited, large young dog. • 🪟 WINDOW SHADES can be closed if that is best for your pup(s). Just message me in the app and I can close them if we are home. • 🚫🧪 We are a strictly NO PESTICIDES and NO HERBICIDES yard. • 🏖 We have a SAND PIT ✅ for digging under the big birch tree. 🚫 Please do not allow your pup to dig in the back garden beds with white flags. • ⚠️ There is a 5” GAP IN THE FENCE at the gate in the back of the yard. VERY SMALL DOGS CAN ESCAPE through here. You may temporarily place the board across the gap if necessary, but please remove it when done as this is a passage for the rabbits. • Dogs are welcome on the deck! :) We love saying hi through the patio door! • ❌🚽 We do not allow guests to use our restroom.

A rare double lot in the heart of the city. Water fountain, zen garden with water feature (during warm months), and patio chairs, hammock, and swings for pet owners’ use. Fully fenced. Dog toys abound for communal pooch use.

Fully fenced, partially chain link. Lots of shade.

**We will be closed from April 19 thru mid-May to allow for the lawn and plants to wake up. Thank you for your patience. See you when we open back up!** WATER IS SHUT OFF UNTIL THE SPRING HEALTH NOTE: Due to the current outbreak of canine influenza, we ask that you not bring any dog who is showing signs of illness including cough, runny nose, fever, lethargy, eye discharge, and reduced appetite. Thank you for helping to keep our canine community healthy! Our backyard is almost 1 acre of fully fenced fun! Conveniently located, easy parking. Low visibility of other dogs or people. Tons of room to run and sniff! New in Fall 2022, we have a patio and gazebo for humans to enjoy!

Large yard with 4' picket fence. Beautiful view of pond outside the fence.

Peaceful, secure large yard right in town :)

My yard will be your pup's new favorite hangout spot. Enjoy playing fetch or just spending some quality time hanging out. I live in a suburban neighborhood which is pretty quiet for the most part. There's a higher chance you may see a neighbor or hear kids playing in the evening or on the weekends when the weather is nice. I do on stay on top of picking my dog's 💩 but I may occasionally miss one so I apologize if you happen to come across one. • There is a basket full of toys on the deck for your dog to choose from. I'm always adding new toys to keep things new and exciting. • In the warmer months I have a small or large plastic pool that you can add to your visit for an additional fee of either $3(small) or $5(large). Please message me prior to adding it to your visit to make sure I'll be around to get it set up for you. • A water bowl will be on the deck when it's not too cold • The hose has been put away for the season it will be back out sometime in May possibly April with the way the weather's been. • A poop bag holder with bags will be on the table on the deck. • There is a trash can for any garbage and 💩 bags in the rocks by the gate. • Seating is available when there's no snow. There are chairs around the fire pit and also on the deck. • There is quite a bit of lighting that can be put on to light up the backyard if needed. • I will leave a towel on the table for drying off wet dogs during the winter months and during the time when things can get messy when the snow is melting. If you add a plastic pool to your visit I will leave a towel out also.

We love watching our dogs frolic throughout our large yard and want to share our enjoyable spot with you! Sit back in an Adirondack chair on our umbrella-shaded patio and watch your furry friends explore our fun, variety-filled back lot. From a flower patch to sniff around, to black walnut trees for chasing squirrels into, there's a lot to see and do. It's common to see chipmunks exploring the maze we built them, plus Cardinals and Chickadees enjoying our multiple feeders. A nature lover's slice of heaven, right in Mac-Grove! Park right out front of our big gray home and take the sidewalk to the north (right) of the house on back to the gate.

Large fenced in back yard perfect for play and running. Mix of shady and sunny spots and an area for you to sit and relax. Private off road parking on driveway for one vehicle. Enjoy the space knowing your dog is safe and can play stress free.
