55We had an amazing time! Our pups loved exploring the lake and the wooded trails. Definitely will be back!
55This is a beautiful property with trails and a lovely lake for puppy swimming.
55This place is wonderful, with very friendly hosts.
55Really enjoyed celebrating my dogs 2nd birthday here. Both my dogs had a lot of fun and were just free and happy playing in the water and eating grass haha. There is a road to the right and since it’s not fenced if your dogs like to run around I’d just be careful about that.
55The host was so nice! I arrived late (my fault), and she still allowed me to stay the full time. The area is beautiful and the lake was so fun. The trails were clearly marked and the shade was so nice for a hot day. Will definitely be back at some point!
15Check for broken glass! We unfortunately spotted brown broken beer bottles too late for our 9 month old puppy. She lacerated her pad and we were hardly into the property. We followed the blue flagged path and noticed her bleeding and shortly thereafter found the bottles. Paths are not marked super clearly and no clear line of where this spot ends and the “neighbors” starts. Host did fully refund our visit (of which we were there for 20 min out of 3 hours) but Sniffspot will not assist in the already $1400 vet bills and climbing. May be ok if you’re only using the lake but to avoid glass you’d have to be by the owners house and close to the road.
55Gorgeous property! The dogs had a great time running through the woods and then splashing through the lake!
55This spot is exactly as it’s named - heaven! There are lots of very clearly marked trails and the lakes are perfect swimming holes that the dogs just loved! You can tell this property is well taken care of and appreciated. Thank you for sharing it! We will definitely be back!
55What a beautiful spot to take our dog, Cooper, swimming! Thank you for sharing your paradise.💗
55Loved this spot! The dogs enjoyed every inch from the hiking trails to the lake.

We are animal lovers who believe it is important to have space for dogs to run, roam, play as often as possible. We want to share our beautiful piece of heaven with your pup/s! Here they can enjoy flat/short grassy areas, hike thru natural paths in the woods, splash in the small lake/pond to their heart's desire!

Julietta's Fully Fenced Yard For Dogs To Rent In Finleyville

Fully Fenced
0.25 acres

Welcome to our spacious, private backyard! Your pup will have plenty of room to run, sniff, and play in our fully fenced yard. One side features a 6' solid privacy fence, while the other three sides are secure chain link. Relax while your dog explores with access to a patio, outdoor seating, tables, and (seasonally) an above-ground pool. We also have a small flock of chickens, but they're always safely contained in a fully enclosed run with solid lower walls, so dogs can't see or access them. A small fenced vegetable garden is also fun for curious noses. The yard is mostly flat with lots of open grass, plus mature shade trees to help keep things cool on warm days. Whether your dog wants to zoom, sniff, or just lounge in the grass, there's plenty of space to enjoy! ✅ Fully fenced yard ✅ Approx. 0.4-acre play area ✅ Patio with seating ✅ Seasonal above-ground pool ✅ Shade trees ✅ Water available on request (if applicable) ✅ Chickens securely enclosed (not visible to most dogs) ✅ Fenced vegetable garden

Fields and woods and a stream: Oh my!

Unfenced
100 acres

Our peaceful, private and beautiful 100+ acre farm is a haven for dogs and their human companions alike! Acres of open fields, trails through the woods, and a lovely valley with a stream meandering through are all that await you and your four legged friends! Maps and descriptions, along with a cooler containing snacks and water are provided upon your arrival. It is gorgeous out here in all seasons- plenty of shade in the summer, and wide open spaces for dogs to run free. So much to enjoy and explore here- come and see for yourself! Note: we do have 2 geese which may be heard somewhat in the distance. However, you will not see them nor any other domestic animals while here, since the Sniffspot is quite far away from the homestead.

16 acres for your pups to explore- in Canonsburg!

Partially Fenced
15 acres

We have almost 16 acres, just 1 mile from Canonsburg & McMurray. We have 3 separate pastures fenced in. One is where we plant our gardens, one is large & fenced in (but not escape proof), and one is about 1/2 acre. This smaller one is secure (unless your dog is very small or will dig under a fence) If you want your dog to be off leash we will ask you to use the 1/2 acre back pasture which has cattle fencing (you will access using a secure gate). If you keep your dog on the leash you’re welcome to walk him or her anywhere in our other pastures or in our woods. Before you let your dog off the leash, please inspect my fencing to be sure your dog will not be able to get out. Two chairs and a table are provided for comfort. A first aid kit, poop bags and a trash can are available. Water bowls (filled with clean water) and dog toys/balls will be available and will be sanitized after every use. Please text me at (724) 317-9844 after booking to be sure I know you are coming!

Fully Fenced

We have a lovely yard that is fully fenced and ready for you and your dog to come play! We live in a nice quiet neighborhood close to Washington. We have a newly paved driveway to park in or street parking, whichever you choose. Please use the smaller gate to access the yard. We do have a dog who is always inside during visits. Sometimes he can be heard barking. We apologize for this. We try to keep him upstairs during visits to prevent distractions. The yard is fully fenced with a 6 foot tall privacy fence! We have a newly renovated deck with a nice patio furniture set. Please feel free to enjoy the deck while your dogs play! I love to garden and always have beautiful flowers on display during the summer. We have a retractable gate on the deck if you need to use it. Our yard does have hills but can still be easily walked around. The hills are great to tire out your dog while playing fetch and having them run up and down! We have a hose that can be used for water (except during the winter we put them away in storage). We have a bucket for poop and a garbage can in the driveway for any trash. We cannot wait to host you and your pup!
