Welcome to Safe Hayven Fields

We are Kennel Club & Doggy Birthday Party Friendly 💛 We’re so grateful to share this beautiful little piece of paradise with you and your four-legged family members. Safe Hayven is privately nestled on a peaceful horse farm, surrounded by beautiful views and plenty of space to relax, roam, play, and simply enjoy some quality time together. Our securely fenced-in area gives your pups plenty of room to run and explore, and when they’re ready to cool off, they can take a dip in our large, dog-friendly in-ground pool! All amenities are available for you and your pups to enjoy. Dogs are welcome to swim under the supervision of their parents, and as with all activities, swimming and pool use are at your own risk. A few comforts for you & your pup 🐶 We have plenty of comfortable seating and table space on our covered porch, making it a lovely spot to sit back and enjoy the views while your pup plays. Before your arrival, we’ll provide a freshly disinfected water bowl, filled just a few minutes before you arrive. You’ll also have access to our outdoor hose anytime you need to refill it. Your pup will also find a small splash pool that many dogs absolutely love! It will be cleaned and freshly filled before your visit. Some pups even enjoy taking a little drink from it — they’re welcome to enjoy it however they please! On the porch, you’ll find a basket of helpful supplies that you’re welcome to use during your visit, including: * 🐾 Poop bags * 🧴 Hand sanitizer * 🩹 Basic first-aid supplies * 🧻 Paper towels * And a few other little essentials We kindly ask that you please do your best to pick up after your pup so we can keep Safe Hayven clean, beautiful, and enjoyable for everyone. Any trash can be placed in the gray trash can on the porch. 😊 Most of all, we hope you and your pup feel right at home here. Thank you for choosing Safe Hayven and allowing us to share this special place with you. We hope you make some wonderful memories, enjoy plenty of happy tail wags, and leave already looking forward to your next visit! Welcome to Safe Hayven — we’re so happy you’re here! 🐾🤎

Welcome to our Backyard Nature Retreat

Fully Fenced
0.17 acres

If your dog(s) loves sniffing, exploring, and experiencing nature, you've found the perfect spot. Our backyard isn't a perfectly manicured lawn—it's a peaceful, park-like woodland oasis filled with natural scents, textures, and wildlife that encourage healthy enrichment for curious pups. Wander through a landscape of tree stumps, logs, stones, woodland plants, wetlands, wild strawberries, flowering trees, rose bushes, lilacs, hostas, boxwoods, common ivy, and seasonal blooms. Listen to birds chirping while your dog explores. You may spot red cardinals, robins, and many other songbirds enjoying our bird feeders and bird bath. There are countless sights, sounds, and scents for dogs to investigate, and depending on the season and time of day, you may also see rabbits, squirrels, bees, butterflies, fireflies, snails, ladybugs, and other fascinating wildlife. For humans, we've created cozy places to relax while your pup plays. Enjoy our antique iron park bench nestled among the gardens or gather around the fire pit area with our bright orange camping stools. An elevated hill offers another fun place for dogs to explore, and a water hose is available if your pup needs a quick drink or rinse. Property Information Fully fenced backyard for off-leash play. Additional unfenced side yard is available if desired. Please enter through the fence gate on the Devon Drive side of the house (it will be open). Please park along the side of the house—there is ample parking. No resident pets on the property, though you may see or hear neighborhood dogs. Please Note Please stay off the deck and deck stairs. You're welcome to relax anywhere else in the backyard. Please pick up after your dog and take all trash with you before leaving. Tips are always appreciated but never expected. Every booking helps us continue maintaining and beautifying this little wildlife sanctuary and expanding the gardens for both people and pups to enjoy. We hope you and your furry friend have a peaceful, sniff-filled adventure!

Any additional people should be added under "extras". --- 2025 - REOPENED Hello guests! We have re-opened our spot - so many people have reached out, it's been hard to not allow bookings. Although the app is still problematic, we will work with you to find a solution. Please understand our slow responses are due to the app. IMPORTANT NOTE TO GUESTS I struggle with chronic illness / an autoimmune disease that often has me sidelined. I do my best to keep up outside, but please excuse me, or message me when there are things not so aesthetically pleasing, I will do my absolute best to mend to it as soon as possible. I really appreciate all of you for bringing your pups out, you're great parents for it. Thank you for reading and I hope you enjoy your time <3
