Oak & Pond 5 Acre Fully Fenced Private Yard in Parrish

This 5 acre private, fully fenced Sniffspot offers a peaceful and secure environment with plenty of room to run, sniff, play in the pond and explore. The property is quiet and private. It is fully fenced & very secure which is perfect for reactive, anxious, or escape-prone dogs. We have a GSP who is an escape artist, and we've made sure it's safe for her. There are tons of oak trees + natural shade which makes the property cooler and more comfortable with the Florida Sun. Our dogs love the property so much we wanted to share it with others. There is a pond on the property where dogs can swim and enjoy the natural setting. There is a fountain and fish in the pond (primarily small Blue Gill and Catfish). However, we don't allow fishing for the safety of the pets (hooks, etc.). We have never seen any gators on the property. They would have to climb the 6 foot fence to get in. Great for multi-dog families. There is enough room for everyone to run free! The property is set back a little from the road. It feels very peaceful. Indoor restroom access available. Pool/lanai use available as an extra. Out of respect for our neighbors and for the property, we have decided to only host dog visits or dog birthday parties with 5 humans or less in attendance. If you are bringing more than one vehicle please let us know. We want the property to be more of a peaceful, low key place to visit. 💧 Amenities * Two hoses for bathing. * Shampoo, water bowls and some toys provided. Bring your own towels. :) * Pool and lanai access - as an extra upon request. * Restroom access * Seating for owners throughout the property * Easy parking (grass or driveway) * Quiet, natural environment We are so happy to offer our yard to other dog lovers. We love hosting a place where dogs can just be dogs with no worries in the world! I hope you enjoy the property as much as we do! **************************************** Other Info: The yard is treated regularly for fire ants by a professional fire ant company. It is rare to find fire ants on the property. Depending on the time of year, the water level and number of Lilly pads (and other vegetation) in the pond changes. The pond water is lowest December-February. A pond filtration system was installed in Feb 2026 and will be completely operational by the end of March 2026. The filtration system helps kill harmful bacteria.

Jenn & Bruce's Fully Fenced Yard In Pinellas Park (on pause)

We’re currently not taking my bookings until we can work out some notification settings. We’ve got a nice back yard, just waiting for some extra use. It’s very (extra) people centric, with a nice big patio of pavers and a 8-person dining table under a nice big sunshade area, couch, so many chairs, hammock, and even fire pit. This sniff spot is perfect for a person/couple who’s working from home and need to stay connected while pup adventures. And for the pups, the grass is about 75ft x 30ft. Just right for medium pups or large pups with medium energy (Goldens?) . It’s maybe not big enough for a Malanois or similar, but we welcome all people and pups. love is love. There are a couple of small sapling fruit trees in the yard. A big mulch corner under a collection of trees, is Bruce’s favorite spot. We have a big oak branch we hang a soccer ball on (used to be for the kids’ swings!), and he will play w that ball for an hour swinging back and forth. All in all, just a yard, but a real humans-and-dogs live here, welcoming one. Happy to allow access to the indoor restroom if needed. Entry could be through the house or via the side gate if people-free is more ideal for you.
