55Great yard!
55Brought 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.
55Beautiful nice size yard. We had a great time and Loki loved playing with the additional toys provided. We’ll definitely visit again!
55Another 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.
55Great 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.
55The 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.
55We had a nice afternoon at this spot!
55Great 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.
55We had a good time visiting!
55Piper'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!

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

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

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

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!

    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.

About: Explore our heavily wooded, fenced yard which backs up to township wooded land. Lots to sniff as we regularly experience visits from all sorts of wildlife (deer, fox, bunnies, chipmunks, birds, squirrels, etc). We have two very large GSDs of our own who love chasing all the woodland creatures and frequently bring their toys outside so it wouldn't be surprising if your dog uncovers a ball or toy buried out there. New Deck Closed: For winter, deck is unavailable as the furniture and deck need to be cleaned for spring. Potential for deck amenities for pet parents available this summer. It's perfect for launching a ball off of - really tires our dogs out. Please note that some photos showcase an old deck. Updated photos will come soon. Warning: To keep the visit pleasant, please keep yourself and the pup(s) away from the glass door on the deck. As mentioned we have two large GSDs and they are protective of the house as is in their nature. Suggestions: Our yard is great for: - scent work as there are some many places to hide a scent. - tiring out your dog with a tougher game of fetch as there's a lot of foliage to throw a ball into to have them really use their noses - watching wildlife such as deer, birds, fox, etc. Warning: Backyard is positioned on a hill which may not be accessible if dog/humans have any mobility issues. You can avoid the hill by following the trail against the fence until it dead ends where you can walk through the clearing. In times of heavy rain, the space will get muddy. Clean towels can be provided - see extras.

Large, fully-fenced, no-gap Dog Park In Haddon Township, NJ

Welcome to our backyard! It's about 6,500 square feet, with a beautiful, six-foot red cedar fence all the way around, with no gaps for even the smallest dogs (except maybe a teacup dog!). There are two major seating spots with chairs and plenty of empty space for your dogs to run around. It's also well shaded, with a gigantic, hundreds-years-old tree right smack in the middle. If you have a good visit, please leave a good review! We are first-time homeowners and Sniffspotters. Please get in touch with any questions or suggestions for improvements! PLEASE DO *NOT* BRING A DOG THAT: - has a particularly loud or booming bark. We live in a quiet neighborhood and do not want to disturb our neighbors. - may chew through outdoor-rated extension cords (there's one for the mosquito trap, as you can see next to the pool). - may chew through (or climb through!) the plastic tubing between the pool and its mechanics (pump and filter). Important notes: - No more than four dogs may be in our yard at any one time, and all dogs must share the same owner. The owner must remain with their dogs at all times. The owner may bring a small number or human guests, but no guest may bring their own dog. - Please look carefully through our photos to know what to expect. Any questions, ask! - It is expected that our yard will be in the same or better condition than when you entered. Please clean up your and your dog's messes. - If you can prevent your dog from peeing next to the pool and its mechanics, please do. We realize this might not be possible, so don't stress if it happens. - There's a three-foot-wide alleyway behind the shed (fence on one side, shed on the other), open on both sides. It's just dried leaves back there. (Note: the bricks in the pictures will be gone before your dog arrives.) For the moment, we're leaving this open, but may block it off depending on feedback from our Sniffspot guests. - The pool is off limits to dogs. Note the pool-wall is five feet high. There will be no ladder when your dog visits. It is IMPERATIVE that you not put a chair next to the pool, to prevent your dog from jumping in. - We have one neighbor (on the driveway side) with a dog. He's not out that much, he's never out without his owner, and he's not loud (I've NEVER heard him since moving here two years ago). It is very likely that this dog will not be out during your visit, but we can't guarantee this. Regardless, there is always a solid six-foot-high fence between. Our neighbors are well aware, and are fully supportive, of our renting via Sniffspot. Concerns we are currently working to address: - We plan on building a small fence around the pool mechanics. - Note that we mow this very big backyard every two weeks. Also, there's ALWAYS more weeding to be done. However, there are no harmful-to-dogs plants that we are aware of.
