    Always a wonderful visit, thank you!

  • Dan B., Mar 7, 2023

    Great backyard!

  • Eve G., Mar 4, 2023

    The yard is really lovely and the amenities provided are great. We had to leave early though because some of the neighbor dogs are somewhat fence reactive themselves, and when they appeared and started barking it threw my reactive dog into a fit. The lower fence is on that side and I was concerned with him getting so amped up he may try to jump it. So if you have a reactive dog it may not be the best experience, but it really is a great spot overall and I wish we could’ve enjoyed it to the fullest.

    The squirrels knocked their snacks over so there were apricots, dozens on the ground my dog couldn’t stop eating. It was impossible to keep her away. It’s a very nice yard with lots to explore. I will say the gate latch is rather high up and I suggested a sniff spot sign some where on the outside

    Awesome yard. Exactly as described. Bohdi had a great time.

  • beth o., Feb 19, 2023

    Such a fantastic spot! Definitely the dog’s new favorite with so much to explore! Just a heads up that if you have a reactive dog, the neighbors also have pups, 3 of which made appearances in their yards. Actually very helpful for us as we’re currently training for that but if your pup needs a no-dog space just be aware of that before you go.

  • Jennifer M., Feb 18, 2023

    This was great thanks!

  • Ali C., Feb 17, 2023

  • Matt W., Feb 15, 2023

  • Heather K., Feb 12, 2023

    What a lovely space for the dogs to explore! So many sniffs! We will definitely be back

Meet your host

My husband and I both work from home and are so glad to share our backyard with you and your fur baby.

We have 10+ acers with both lawn and some wooded areas. Both slopped and flat lawns surrounded by forest and trees. It is a great place to wear out even the most energetic of dogs. The property is completely private and not viewable from our neighbors. We have a smaller fenced yard off the house that you are welcome to use as well as the rest of the area is not fenced. Parking at both the top near the house and at the bottom of the field if you prefer. Garbage is available as well as bags for clean up, pooper scoopers (near the top parking), treats and balls for fetch. If you pup isn't ready for off leash play I have long leads and training leashes in several lengths up to 100ft that can be arranged prior to your visit. I generally keep to myself and let you have use of the area unless you have requested otherwise. I will gladly show you around if I am available. Just please try to set this up in advance as I work from home and would need to arrange this around my schedule. There is a trail not far from our driveway, it is not well maintained and has a steep incline but if your wanting something more challenging than a run through the fields it will deliver. It is also not well known about. Great place to get away from everyone else trying to get away :) There are many wild animals on the property but during the daytime its mostly just birds and bunnies. Please reach out and send me a message if you have any questions.
