HOST REPORTS

I have one small dog and 4 domestic cats and 2 horses. Gus the dog will stay inside during your visit. We have multiple farm cats, but the friendliest farm cats, Nox , Violet , BB and Paddy generally like dogs, but we are hopeful they will leave you alone. The horses live outside and are within eye shot of the yard but there is no direct nose to nose contact. The closest horse, Chinook is not bothered by dogs or any barking! Lion a bit further and you will see Stuart, the mini horse. Both neighbors have dogs but they cannot access any sides of the fence-so also line of sight to other dogs.

Hi! I am mom to two horses, 4 cats and to my precious little dog, Gus. They are my heart and family! The little dog in my profile picture is Maggie, who we love just as much as ours when she is here! We take care of her several times a year for her mom and dad while they are off galavanting!

Brick Road Ranch

Fully Fenced
1.5 acres

Welcome to our slice of paradise! Your dogs will have full access to our 1.5 acre fully fenced pasture to run and get all their energy out. The pasture is fully fenced with field fencing all around and backs up to a farm field. On a clear day you can see the tip of Mount Hood straight out the back of the property and a fantastic view of Mount Jefferson to the right. Young giant sequoias and cedar trees line both sides of the pasture. Three mature oak trees provide shade in the middle of the pasture. You will hear birds all around the property in the trees as your dogs play. Amenities include: people lounge chairs, dog loungers, dog houses, dog water with a seasonal spigot and hose, a pooper scooper and bucket, and a lean-to to provide shelter in poor weather. Throw a ball as hard as you can and let your dogs be dogs.

Field of Frolic is here to enjoy!

Fully Fenced
0.5 acres

The Field is mowed and fenced, ready for your dog to play! Come experience your own personal dog park. A 5’ fence surrounds this expanse of green with several shade trees for relaxing under. A wading pool is provided to ensure ample access to water and a place to cool down on hot days. A convenient garbage can for poop bags waits by the entrance, with a fresh supply of baggies! The small deck box holds a chuck-it with extra balls and some other toys for sharing. Human water is also provided ☺️ Comfy benches inside the Field allow humans to rest while the doggies run and explore. When arriving, look for signage that will guide you to the grey garage. The entrance to the ‘Field of Frolick’ is the chain link gate to your right. Hose can be activated at the front of the garage if you need more water, as well as a power outlet. If we have a lot of rain, there may be some mud along the far side of the field. Walk carefully, many holes have been dug… (Also, if there is a metal tomato cage with caution tape on it in the driveway, it means that the Kildeer birds have established a nest in the gravel. Please do not disturb them.) Welcome to the Field and enjoy!

Private 5-Acre Dog Run in Dundee

Fully Fenced

Tucked just outside the Dundee city limits, our peaceful, fully fenced 5-acre field offers a little slice of freedom for your dog. Away from the road and very private, it's a perfect place for dogs to safely romp, sniff or calmly explore at their own pace. The field is near our home, so you might see us coming and going—but during your visit, the spot is entirely yours to enjoy. This is a welcoming space for all dogs and their people, and we’re genuinely glad to share it with you.
