Description

FYI- The pool is open!!!!! Would love to have you and your pups for a swim. The water is up to 80°, excellent for both pups and humans! A reminder, pool use is an additional charge under extras. Enjoy! Fully fenced, secure and private acre of doggy heaven located on a cul de sac. Large grass yard, mulch, and wooded area on each side of the yard will keep your dog busy sniffing and exploring. The ground is cleared in the wooded areas for fun running and walks. Large blue stone shaded patio that backs up to woods. The large in ground pool is uncovered and ready to swim for an additional charge (see below”Extras”). The fencing between the yard and pool is not 100% secure, just keep an eye on your pups. All people and pets will be inside during your visit for privacy. There are poop bags, a bowl of water and a basket of toys for you and your pup if you wish. Whether you want to sit in the shade or play in the sun, there are multiple seating areas. Driveway and Street parking with easy access to the spot.

We’re lifelong dog lovers and currently have 3 pups of our own—each one a rescue or a foster fail. Because we understand how important it is for dogs to have a safe, private place to run, we decided to open our property for others to enjoy. The perimeter fencing was originally installed to keep our own dogs secure, and it truly creates a peaceful, protected environment. Since our dogs aren’t outside all the time, it felt natural to share the space with fellow pup parents who want the same sense of freedom and safety for their furry family members. It has been such a joy welcoming guests and hearing how many special memories their dogs have made while visiting our Sniffspot. We’re grateful to share this little haven with you and your pups.

Vanessa's 1.04 Acre Unfenced Private Dog Park In Monroe

Unfenced

1 acre

Welcome! I’m a single mom to two wonderful boys and a lifelong animal lover. Our home is shared with five beloved pets, and we love welcoming fellow dog owners to enjoy our yard. Our spacious yard is located on a quiet cul-de-sac in Monroe, CT, providing a peaceful setting for your visit. Please note that the property is enclosed with an electric dog fence, not a physical fence. We’re also conveniently located near Wolfe Park, making it easy to enjoy a walk or hike on the nearby trails before or after your visit. We have two friendly, well-socialized dogs: Leila, our Mini Goldendoodle, and Chandler, our 115-pound Golden Retriever. Both are current on all vaccinations. If you’re interested in arranging a dog playdate during your visit, just let me know—I’d be happy to see if it’s a good fit! Our yard is routinely treated with an organic, pet-safe tick treatment to help keep the area comfortable for both dogs and their owners. We also have three very sweet indoor cats. From time to time, you may notice local high school students stopping by to visit my son, as we’re close to the park. It’s a friendly, family-oriented neighborhood, so there’s no need for concern. We look forward to welcoming you and your pup, and we hope you both enjoy your visit!

Fully Fenced Backyard in woods. Access to lake swimming and hiking trails (as add ons)

My back yard is meant for dogs, as I board dogs from my house full time. Lots of shade from trees, dog toys, dog water, and good smells. My dog Frank is also always game to play with other friendly dogs. I'm almost always available to take guests on guided walks of our private hiking trails or for a lake swim for an additional charge. I am also taking new boarding clients at this time.
