Private Fully Fenced Yard + Patio For Doggies To Play

Fully Fenced
0.06 acres

Hi! I grew up around farm animals and dogs, and I’ve always loved giving animals space to safely explore, relax, and play. We’re opening up our large fully fenced backyard as a peaceful private spot for dogs and their humans to enjoy in the city. The yard includes: * A large fenced grassy area for running and playing * Secure perimeter fencing * A covered patio with seating for owners to relax * Plenty of open space for fetch, sniffing, training, or just hanging out Perfect for: * High energy dogs * Apartment dogs needing outdoor time * Reactive dogs that do better in private spaces * Training sessions or casual playdates We’re located in San Francisco and want this to feel like a calm little outdoor retreat for both dogs and people 🤍

Oakland backyard for your doggy to run!

Fully Fenced
0.02 acres

I have a large space that I am sure a dog will love to run in. In the winter, post rain, it can get VERY muddy back there. Years of dogs running around has torn up a lot of the ground cover and it's now just dirt, which becomes mud in the winter. In the summer, the "grass" (more weeds than actual grass) gets very dry. There are some burrs due to the dryness so if your dog has longer fur they might get some attached to them. I do my best to weed the weeds that produce them, but there still might be some. It's a fairly large open space with a longer run on the side. Also, I want to note that in the back of the property the fence is lower, around 4/4.5 feet (the rest of the yard is at least 6 feet), so if your dog is a good jumper, this could be an issue. Happy playing!
