There could potentially be a neighbor cat, but I assume they will know you're there before you know they're there, and will skedaddle!

HOST REPORTS

Sometimes

generally a quiet neighborhood, but lots of people and dogs walk on canyon drive. A family with three small children moved in on the next street over, and when it's nice out, the children can be heard playing outside, and sometimes screaming, on the other side of the hedge/bushes. please "leave no trace" on the property. your dog scratching and leaving marks in the grass is the exception. thank you.

Hazards

HOST NOTE

Lots of various plants that should not be ingested. I've never had a dog that ate anything back there, and I've had five dogs. I have been keeping an eye out for dog-dangerous foxtail grass. It was new to the neighborhood summer of '24 and I've been pulling it when I see it both on my property and across the road, to keep it from invading my property. There is a photo for your reference. You shouldn't see any because I am very vigilant in monitoring, but IF you do, please alert me. This spot has a creek with steep slopes, make sure to review these guidelines for visiting spots with water before visiting: https://help.sniffspot.com/article/167-how-to-keep-your-dog-safe-around-pools-and-water

Fully Fenced

A beautiful 1/4 acre fully fenced private yard in SW Portland near Hayhurst Elementary. Fresh woodchip paths all the way around the yard. Dogs can dig in the creek, run around the large fenced yard, and bark at squirrels that run along the fence. Located on a quiet, dead end road, parking is street only. This is an active permaculture farm, so expect compost piles, garden equipment, and slightly uneven ground. There are many flowers and plants; please do not allow dogs to dig in garden beds - they will be marked. Thanks!

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 – 9:00 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

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!

Rhi's Fully Fenced Yard For Dogs To Rent In Vancouver

Fully Fenced
0.25 acres

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!
