HOST REPORTS

Sometimes

we don’t have dogs, nor do our neighbors, but there are dogs around the neighborhood that can sometimes be heard. we value the safety of all animals and do not use any pesticides, fertilizers or chemicals in the yard. because of that the lawn can vary from long and thriving to dead and dusty in the summer. while some months are prettier, the dogs seem to enjoy all of its stages : )

HOST REPORTS

Sometimes

i have indoor 2 cats but they don’t seem to care about dogs being outside most of the time but sometimes they find a way to sit in the window to look over the yard. if that’s distracting to your pup please let me know ahead of time.

HOST REPORTS

Sometimes

four people live here, and i work from home, so the house is usually occupied. we give as much space as we can but you may see us in a window or the front yard passing through. it’s very rare for us to meet or even see guests, but sometimes schedules change or things happen and all we can do is our best. we do have neighbors on 3 sides, as noted they don’t have pets, but you will see them sometimes too. they usually prefer to keep to themselves.

Private entryYes

Private entry

Yes (Always)

There is a gate on the side to the right of the driveway that you can use without having to encounter residents. Just make sure the gate is fully closed (clicks into place) so it doesn’t get pushed open by the wind. Some guests have messaged me their personal preferences before coming to feel more secure. I’m always happy to provide answers and adjustments where I can. If you have specificities let me know before you’re here. If you ask while you are, I will respond as fast as I can but I can’t guarantee I can respond right away when i’m working. If it is available- please change the sign that says “occupied” or “dogs playing keep gate closed” when you arrive and when you leave. Thanks!!

Description

I have a large, mostly unused back yard that has the best energy with a dog running around it. There are a few trees and a firepit, but for the most part it’s a large open yard just waiting to be enjoyed by any age, size or energy level pup! The backyard has the most sun in the afternoons but the yard can be used any time of day or season as there is a pergola and outdoor lights!

Cleanliness

96% of guests said this spot was as clean as expected during their visit.

Hazards

HOST NOTE

Other than potential unknown things that could be dug up, there are no major hazards. If your dog is heavily focused on escaping, this might not be the place for you, but as mentioned, we’ve never had any escapes up to now :) I do have 2 trees which produce fruit during the late summer and fall. Apples mostly, though technically one has plums and either prunes or figs, but I haven’t seen many of those in the 3 years I’ve lived here. The apples we do see for a short period of time each year. They are mostly taken by squirrels but we collect survivors, and compost the ones that fall, unfortunately there may be some on the ground despite our efforts. You and you’re dog are welcome to enjoy the fruit, or leave it as is, or compost any that are on the ground for more room to play. If your dog is extremely obsessed with food, know that late August through October are the primary fruit months, 90% of the year there is no fruit. Happy to answer any questions via the messaging app you might have before you book, or while you’re here. Reach out and let me know how I can make your stay the most comfortable.

Hi there! I’m Erica, a part time property manager, and disability advocate. I am currently recovering from shoulder surgery while managing invisible illness so I work from home. You may see me or my housemates or one of the 4 indoor cats if we’re in the kitchen but we try to keep blinds closed and to give you privacy :) Let me know if you have any questions, I’m happy to help.

Sunny, shady, and simple backyard for your pups!

Fully Fenced
0.02 acres

Give your dog the freedom to run, explore, and play in a spacious, fully fenced private backyard designed with pups in mind. Our yard features plenty of open space with simple landscaping, making it perfect for fetch, zoomies, training sessions, or just enjoying some off-leash time. The yard is enclosed by a secure 6-foot-tall fence and offers multiple shaded areas to help keep dogs comfortable on warm days. Fresh water is always available, and we've provided chairs for humans and a cozy dog bed for pups who need a break between adventures. While the backyard does face the street and there is some ambient street noise, the space itself is very private and securely enclosed, allowing you and your dog to relax and enjoy your visit. As lifelong dog lovers, we created this space because our own beloved senior dogs have reached the stage where they prefer naps over chasing balls. We'd love to share their once-busy playground with new puppy friends and energetic dogs looking for a safe place to run, play, and make happy memories. We look forward to welcoming you and your four-legged family members!

Hi yall, We hope you’ll enjoy our back yard as much as our dogs do. My wife and I run and manage our spot. Our area here is in a small neighborhood with little to no traffic. You can access the entrance through the left side of the house. Just push the gate and it should open easily. As for parking there is a guest area right in front of the house but the drive way can be used to park if there is no parking available. There will be a smaller little fence that can be closed but you can leave it open as well. We will provide some toys and of course balls so you can play with your dogs free of charge. We additionally have snacks and water if needed. There are poop bags as well. You can find these items on the deck and please feel free to sit down and enjoy a nice seat. Our back yard will have trees with plenty of shade and a large area for the dogs to run around. Some areas of the yard are muddy but it is mostly grassy. If you head down to the property you will find a stream with a sandy beach and an old bench. The stream is only accessible through our property but not fully fenced off due to the running water. But it is a secluded area where your dogs will not be able to run off.

Private Dog Park by the Creek

Partially Fenced
1 acre

Private Dog Park on 1+ Acres near Mt. Scott Creek: Just 5 minutes from Clackamas Town Center, our one-acre enclosed field offers open space, rolling hills, and the serene Mt. Scott Creek meanders through the property. The creek flows year-round—its levels dip in summer—and there are several spots where pups can wade and cool off on warm days. Please note: the creek is not fenced at both ends. Our field is pesticide-free and treated with organic diatomaceous earth in early spring and late fall to sanitize and keep it free of pests. The creekside can be muddy during winter, but most of the property—especially the upper fields—remains dry year-round. Sniffin’ Hours: Monday to Sunday Spring & Summer: 8 AM – 8:30 PM Autumn & Winter: 8 AM – 7 PM During your visit, our two 5-year-old Doberman-Mastiff mixes will remain indoors so you and your pup can explore freely. Thanks for Sniffin’ at our Spot! —Daniel & Family

The yard is about a quarter acre, conveniently located about a half mile from the 1-205. The property is fully fenced and has a privacy screen covering most of the fence for extra security. It’s a good space for fetch, frisbee, or just enjoying being outside and sniffing. The yard is mostly grass with a few larger patches of dirt. I don’t mind some digging in the dirt areas, as we have some diggers in our pack as well. We have a couple seating areas to enjoy and sit with your group on the outdoor couches, or chairs by the water jug to keep an eye on your pup(s). We also have a cutie tree house where they can go and watch the birds or just enjoy a different view while being there. When arriving to the property, feel free to park on the left side of the house in front of the fence. When entering the first gate, you might hear my dobie Bruce bark (I take it as an excited hello lol) as you make your way to the second gate that opens to the yard. Once inside the yard, you’ll never see other dogs or people, but we have lots of neighbor dogs that bark to each other in the area - just a head’s up in case your dog(s) are easily triggered by that. If you have any questions, please reach out and we are so excited to host you and your pups!
