Grace's Garner Getaway for Pups & People ☀️🌊🌴

Welcome to our private, fully fenced half-acre backyard Sniffspot with a saltwater in-ground pool, just 20 minutes from downtown Raleigh! 🐾 We recently moved into this home, and hosting our own Sniffspot has been a dream of mine after being a Sniffspot guest for years. I’m so excited to share this space with other dogs and their people! 🐶❤️ Dogs and their people are both welcome to enjoy the pool and spacious yard. There are plenty of places to relax, including an outdoor sectional, lounge chairs, and umbrellas for shade. ☀️ For your pup, we provide fresh water and toys. For humans, we provide sunscreen, hand sanitizer, and bug spray. Towels for both people and dogs can be added to your booking as an extra if you’d rather not bring your own. 💦 The yard is regularly treated for ticks, fleas, and mosquitoes using pet- and environmentally friendly products, so you can enjoy your visit with peace of mind. Please pick up after your dog before you leave so we can keep the space clean and enjoyable for everyone. Max number of guests allowed at a visit is 6 people. We hope you and your pup have the best time! ✨

Howling Wolf Farm - Huge horse pasture and more!

First things first: “Will the horses be out there when my dog is?” NO! The horses will be put away if I know someone is coming. While friendly towards most dogs, safety comes first so the horses will be in a seperate area. HOWEVER - it is just a rope fence, so dogs can get in and out as they feel comfortable interacting with the horses. I do NOT recommend letting them mingle unsupervised in that area. As far as the pasture goes, it is 2.5 acres and fenced all the way around the perimeter. Dogs cannot get in or out without human help. Tons of room to run and play. I have two huskies that are game for friends if wanted. The pond is pretty big and my guys love to swim in it!

We have 3.3 wooded acres set back from the cul de sac and we back up to Duke Progress public game land. Previous owners created a trail out there that connects to a power line cut and 4x4 trails. You can hike for miles if you want and probably won’t see another person. We have a doggy paradise on our 3+ acres.

Julie's 18 Acre Unfenced Private Dog Park In Oxford

Nice Quiet Woods with Creek (and poultry!)

Our property covers the creek by the road and extends into woods that are not used by anyone. Our friendly cat may join you on your walk, or you could get quacked at by my ducks! I can secure the cat and ducks if needed, but my chickens are very independent and tend to stay close to the house. I am home most of the time, and usually outside to give walking tips or point out landmarks; also for any problems! My yard is not part of the site! I would prefer if you would keep your dogs secure around my home and pet poultry, until you get down to the creek/woods.
