55Very nice!
55Really nice yard- not too small nor too big. We were there on a pretty hot day and there was enough shade, while most of the yard was in the sun. There was a table and chairs under an umbrella, a nice clean full water bowl and a 2 containers one for clean and another for dirty balls. We enjoyed it.
55Great spot! The pup loved it and there was a nice place for me to sit. Definitely appreciated the clean tennis balls. Be sure to check paws for stickers or foxtails before you head out.
55So happy we found this spot! Quiet and peaceful, plenty of room for my pup to sniff and play fetch. Cute sitting area with umbrella and comfortable chairs for humans, and plenty of toys, water and baggies provided for the pup. Bucket of clean tennis balls and used ones. Even got to pick some figs to take home. Robyn is a great host! Thanks so much for sharing all this with us
55Easy to find, well appointed, fresh water, fenced in. Everything you want in a space for your dog to be free.
55Loved how secure & clean the yard is. Plenty of room for my very shy dogs to play. There is a beautiful patio with comfortable chairs & shade for people. The host was very kind and responsive via the platform. Would highly recommend!
55So nice to be back!
55Very clean, thoughtful setup, easy to find. Thank you
55Clean and spacious. Loved that they have water and clean balls!
55Great! My dog loved her time.

Description

I have a large space that I am sure a dog will love to run in. In the winter, post rain, it can get VERY muddy back there. Years of dogs running around has torn up a lot of the ground cover and it's now just dirt, which becomes mud in the winter. In the summer, the "grass" (more weeds than actual grass) gets very dry. There are some burrs due to the dryness so if your dog has longer fur they might get some attached to them. I do my best to weed the weeds that produce them, but there still might be some. It's a fairly large open space with a longer run on the side. Also, I want to note that in the back of the property the fence is lower, around 4/4.5 feet (the rest of the yard is at least 6 feet), so if your dog is a good jumper, this could be an issue. Happy playing!

Hello, my name is Robyn. I bought this house a few years ago and when a friend of mine was over she suggested that I help out urban dog owners that might not have a place to let their dogs run free. Sounded like a great idea to me. I love dogs and would be happy to share my space with them.

My ranch is a peaceful sanctuary away from the busy downtown or high-traffic regional parks. I have a large 2 acre pasture enclosed by horse fence that has picnic tables under large oak trees. Lots of room to run, dig, and chase sticks. They can also play in the kiddy pool. Other areas can be explored as well, but are not enclosed. A dog wash station is available to wash muddy paws.

A lot of vegetation and places to sit down, meditate, read a book, study, or have a picnic. Your pup will love to run and play in our one-acre garden. Picking fruit or vegetable etc. is off the limit. Drinking water for animals is provided in various containers throughout the property. Please do not turn on or use any water equipment on our property - we had some serious problems in the past because of this. Please clean up after your dog’s “business” - smile. That’s a serious and mandatory request. Poop bags are available in the plastic box with the other dog gear, but please bring your own backup supply just in case and do not leave the poop bags behind. BROWN garbage can is in the front of the house by the street for your convenience. Thank you! Woof woof! 🌸 Note: in the rainy season we might not change the water for dogs because it’s senseless. Please arrive always with your own supply of water - rain or shine - and if it’s raining you might like to wear rain boots as well. Have fun!
