Hazards

HOST NOTE

⚠️ Seasonal Advisory: 🍄‍🟫 Mushrooms have made their appearances here! We do our best to remove them quickly and also appreciate if guests let us know of any sightings. The tree that fell in the yard has become too much fun to clear up, thus the balancing log and stick library was born -Front porch has rocking chairs, ammenities, and the 'extras' for guests when purchased. If your dogs tend to chew on furniture or rugs please keep an eye on them while on the porch because there are some loose decorations n such - We have chickens fenced away but are visible - There's a messy (once cute) garden behind pallet dividers that is accessible to the curious, adventurous sniffers. It's a work in progress area. Your feedback is helpful. Thank you!

Welcome to my whimsical and woodsy play place in the city. The Shire is a large, happy go lucky yard that reflects seasonal changes with its varying colors and foliage.🌼🪻 Always spacious enough for fetching and endless zumiez, it also offers hide-aways, bushes and trees for the adventurous, sniffy pups to explore. Dogs in-training will enjoy the safety of full fencing as they learn how to both play independently and respond to our typical surroundings of occasional winged🦜, wheeled🛞 and pawfoot🐾 traffic. This spot is ever in-training with growth and improvements being worked on every season. I welcome feedback to help make every visit a most FUN-furred experience for all our dogs and their fun-loving families!

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!

Bacon & Eggs 30 Acre Farm & Private Forest Trail - Oregon City

Partially Fenced
10 acres

We offer a dedicated 10 acre sloped pasture for walking, running, ball play, etc. also a trail hike through the woods up to a mile. (Be aware of uneven ground and blackberries; some thorns in mulch). The 30-acre property is fenced and isolated private space. The gate to the road is open for access but a good distance from the fields (so not closed while visiting.). The farm is a working farm so you may see workers and equipment away from the dedicated dog areas. Yes, part of our property has neighbors along the trail but fencing is in place and neighbors are seldom around. Water for dogs, trash can for baggies, picnic table and dog toys are provided. There are livestock fenced off from the trail, and some electric & electric mesh fences are in use.

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!
