Description

6’ Fully fenced (mostly wood, one section of vinyl) private yard with a shed & pear tree. The yard offers a nice balance of sun and shade all day long! Lighted for the evening time (motion activated) for the maximum amount of play possible! For the pups: big open space perfect for zoomies, a game of fetch, safe training space, chasing your doggy friends/siblings or human(s), sniffing the squirrel tracks, sunbathing, stick finding/chomping if any fell down, a tug-toy that can be height adjusted for solo entertainment (or tucked out of the way if you don’t want your pup to play with it), and fresh water access with stainless steel water bowl. Other offerings that we share with you (weather dependent) are a plastic kiddie pool & other water toys as an add-on. We are looking to get some agility equipment & other enrichment items soon too! For the humans: patio chairs & table available, single hammock with stand (kept in shed, assembly/disassembly needed for use pending the season), and peace of mind that any low points in the fence have a secondary metal segment that you can see so there are no escapees! Bring a picnic blanket and enjoy the sun/shade with your pup and don’t forget the towels if you’re enjoying the water features! If it starts to get too windy or rainy for you, enjoy watching your furry friend while being protected from inside the shed - just secure the door on the right with the hook & eye latch. Need to work while your pup(s) get playtime in? No problem - service is strong from cell providers and/or I can provide my guest wifi for your use. Send me a message and let me know if you need anything or have any feedback - we’d love to make this a safe, comfortable, and fun place for everyone of our guests - human and canine!

Cleanliness

100% of guests said this spot was as clean as expected during their visit.

Hazards

Some uneven ground, will be working to re-grade this year. Some raised rain downspout pipes but they’re very noticeable. Where pavement and grass meet, if heavy rain, can be prone to puddles. Blocks/pavers placed for stepping on while drainage gets upgraded. Pear tree is located in the back corner of yard with a utility pole and supports. All flowers/vegetation are dog-friendly (non-toxic) but please try to only let the pups sniff the flowers. ;) At times, there may be small portions of the yard enclosed in a fence (max ~2’x~4’) to allow for grass to grow.

Extras

Furry friend (or two)!$5.0

Have Piper & I join your pup(s) for a play date! She is a well socialized, young adult pup, 40#, is pretty submissive/beta in nature as she cares most about getting to playtime, has a tolerant personality, is spayed, fully vetted (including canine flu & other optional vaccines), and at every daycare we’ve attended has been accepted with flying colors. I do require to meet your dog before ever introducing mine & offer you the same. We can talk through the best logistics for introducing them.

Suns Out, Tongues Out$10.0

Fun in the sun package - kiddie pool, sprinklers, wacky spray lobster, inflatable spray hoop, & hoses… make it a cool summer party for your pup!

Training Help$25.0

Working on training and need a human and/or doggo ‘distraction’ or other specific skill needs with someone who understands what you’re doing? I’ve been there too! Just let me know what you’re looking for or how we/I can help - on leash or off if Piper is involved. I do require to meet your dog before ever introducing mine & offer you the same!

    Great yard!

  • Lovely S., Jun 15, 2023

    Brought my other dog today and she had a blast. She was not ready to go home at all. Will be bringing her again. As always clean and fully fenced yard. Quiet neighborhood and didn’t hear or see any other dogs.

  • Rachel S., Jun 10, 2023

    Beautiful nice size yard. We had a great time and Loki loved playing with the additional toys provided. We’ll definitely visit again!

    Host replied: Thanks for being a great part of the SS community and can’t wait to have you and Loki again!

    Another great play day at Piper’s. My dog had a blast. As always yard was clean and great communication from the host Katelynn. I already booked my next visit.

    Host replied: We love having great guests like you! Can’t wait to host you again.

  • Veronica G., May 31, 2023

    Great open yard space with privacy fencing all the way around. Gets hot in the sun but there are a few shade spots for humans and pups and an available water bowl which was great.

  • Lovely S., May 30, 2023

    The yard was fully fenced and a lot of room for my dog to run around. There were toys provided and dog water bowl. There were no other dogs heard or seen. Quiet neighborhood. My dog loved the hanging toy from the tree. I will definitely be coming back here again. We had a great time. The host responds very quickly to all questions, which I really liked.

  • Lindsey P., May 29, 2023

    We had a nice afternoon at this spot!

  • Brooke M., May 7, 2023

    Great yard! This yard is fully fenced in, I had no worries while my dog played and he is one to try to find ways to escape. Great amount of sun and shade and an awesome toy that ties to the tree that my dog LOVED! Will definitely go back.

    Host replied: Thanks for visiting & being a great guest! Thanks for the compliment on safety - it’s a high priority for me! Happy to hear your pup loved the tug toy; my ladies don’t play with it so I’m happy other pups enjoy it! Can’t wait to have you visit again.

  • Lindsey P., May 7, 2023

    We had a good time visiting!

    Host replied: Thanks for being a wonderful guest! Hope to host y’all again soon!

  • Amanda I., Apr 20, 2023

    Piper's Playground, and Katelyn, were so nice! Everything was as described, communication with the host was prompt and cordial, and my dogs had a blast! The yard is not huge, but big enough for some good chasing and fetch. They are some tired pups!
