Private Fully Fenced Yard + Patio For Doggies To Play
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!
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!

Welcome to our dog pool! Yup, that’s right, we designed this pool specifically for dogs!!!! We have 3 large benches that accommodate dogs of all sizes (some benches are more shallow/deeper than others), plus a step that goes all the way around the pool for dogs to walk on. In addition to that, we have a step in the deep end that makes it easy for the dogs to get in and out of the pool! We also have bubblers inside of the pool (the dogs go crazy over these) and then outside of the pool we have fountains that shoot into the pool! This is literally a dream pool for dogs and dog owners! The pool is surrounded by artificial turf and a gorgeous view! We can’t wait for you to check out our pool! Please note, this spot is right next to our home, we too have dogs and they can be seen through our windows! If you would like to book more than 2 hours, please send us a message.
