Location

Description

Suburban area, large grassy yard fully fenced with furnished patio, baby pool and dog toys available in the yard. Water w/lead-free drinking safe hose and electric access is available.

Cleanliness

98% of guests said this spot was as clean as expected during their visit.

Hazards

cautions: there are two window wells on the left side of the house and crawl space used as a storage area under the back porch (crawl space is large enough for a human to fit - about 4' off the ground). There is also an unlocked/sometimes open shed w/lawn mower and other tools in the back yard. Please note for sound sensitive pups: it seems one of my neighbors may have put in a pool, on some wkends there can be quite a bit of noise from the kids playing in it.

Additional rules

Apologies, we have temporarily limited our Sniffspot slots as we tend to the needs of our ailing dog. Two out of three dogs are battling significant illnesses and it can be challenging to manage yard use. We hope to fully open again soon once things have stabilized. Thanks for your support! ------------------------------------- ** Please note this Sniffspot is primarily for dog owner use, it is not for entrepreneurs who are conducting dog-related business such as catering canine parties or social events and/or charging dog owners fees for dog walking services. While I applaud such entrepreneurs I request they take their business elsewhere. Sorry for any inconvenience but thank your for respecting my wishes ** ------------------------------------- All visiting dogs must be fully vaccinated and free of parasites. Please discourage digging when playing and bring bags to pick up after your dog when they go potty. There is a trash can available for quick disposal. Do not leave dog(s) unsupervised. Please feel free to play with the toys in the yard and relax on the patio furniture. Dogs are allowed on the furniture. Please do not remove any items from the yard. Resident dogs will be kept indoors unless other arrangements have been made in advance for a play date. We hope you enjoy the yard as much as we do! Guests can let themselves in the gate. Please note for sound sensitive pups: it seems one of my neighbors may have put in a pool, on some wkends there can be quite a bit of noise from the kids playing in it. Also for same-day/short notice reservations can be challenging if I'm on the road or otherwise indisposed, I may not see your reservation promptly, therefore I may request a few hrs notification at certain times or have time blocked if I can't respond promptly. However you can message me to see if I'm available on short notice and if so, I'll go ahead and change the notice requirement so you can book it.

    Perfect backyard for a game of fetch!

    I felt my a bit skittish dog was safe in the backyard. Fresh water readily available, lots of toy and ball options. There was shade and sun.

    Our two pups and their friend had a great time playing chase and racing around the yard. The space was clean with thoughtful touches like available water, lots of toys, and comfortable chairs for the humans. We had a great time!

    Our dog had a blast! The fencing was very safe, there were lots of balls for him to chase and the host left water out for him. We will definitely be back.

I've owned dogs most of my life and have been involved in dog rescue for 15-yrs. I even dog sit on occasion. I enjoy taking roads trips and traveling with my dogs and spending time at the beach. I currently own two senior dogs and frequently have additional foster dogs.

FurBaby Freedom Park Springfield - 100% donation to rescue groups

All earnings will be donated to a couple of smaller rescue groups, including Pets With Disabilities (MD), Lizzie's Lodge Rescue (MD) and Arcadia Animal Rescue (SC). We have a very private fenced in yard, we would like to offer up to any other pups who might enjoy some freedom! Lots of availability for weekdays too. We have a natural wooded yard that borders a county park on one side, with a 6ft wooden fence all the way around the property, and a side entry gate. The ground cover is the soft playground wood chips, specifically designed to be comfortable for all kinds of furbabies! Endless amounts of smells and sniffing opportunities from all the local wildlife that frequent our yard. Good space for long runs, frisbee, tennis ball, soccer ball action for the energetic pups, and plenty of space for meandering, or just lounging around in the sun spots for the more mature pups. The yard has sunny areas and plenty of natural shade from the trees. You can also enjoy a deck with a patio table, cushioned chairs and lawn chair seating, poop bags, extra dog water bowls, outdoor spigot with hose for water bowl refills, or hose play and elevated feeders for the pups who cannot bend down very well to drink. The public park next to us has several wooded trails, so if your pup has any energy left, it is a nice park to walk. Quiet spread out and very dog friendly neighborhood. Easy parking on the street outside the house, side entry gate but please make sure you click the gate shut when you leave though!
