Description

'IMPORTANT NOTICES' ********** PLAYGROUND CHIPS - We are replenishing for the season, so a new thick layer to be installed last week of June! WEATHER ALERTS - If there is a bad air quality alert, we will block off time slots in accordance with those alerts. Our yard is on average about 20 degrees cooler due to the ample shading with all our trees. If temps are due to be in 3 digit area though, we will also block off those time slots as it is just too hot for pups to be out. Just a reminder during these summer months, if the pacements/sidewalks are too hot for your bare feet, it's too hot for your pups paws - so speak up if you see pups being walked, or even being dragged along for a jog/run during the middle of these hot days! FOSTER PUPs - Major discounts for anyone with a foster pup; just message me before you book and I will send you a discount code you can use at booking. KIDDIE POOLs - available in the warmer months, at no extra charge for pup splash time, just add it to your booking so I can set up for you! AGILITY Set - We have a new agility set, available, no charge, add this extra if you want set up for your visit. FENCE - The new 7ft solid wood privacy fence, to replace our 6ft, has now been completed. The front and neighbor side sections now double sided to ensure complete privacy. LARGE GROUPS: Our spot has a default of maximum 10 pups. However, if you are having a special get together and have more than 10, just message me and we will endeavor to assist! *********** WELCOME TO OUR SPOT We are happy to share our space with your pups! We have a spacious, secure private fenced and peaceful yard, in a quiet and dog friendly neighborhood. Easy parking on the street outside the house, and a side entry gate. Patio heater available during the colder months. Our yard has sunny areas, as well as plenty of trees providing natural shade and much needed coolness during those hot humid summer days. A natural wooded yard that borders a county park on one side, with a 7ft wooden privacy fence all the way around the property, the front and neighbor side sections are double sided, so a perfect solution for reactive pups and a side entry gate. Completely pesticide/herbicide/fertilizer free yard! Our ground cover is soft playground wood chips, soft for all pup paws, specifically designed to be comfortable for all kinds of furbabies! The playground chips are a natural tick repellent. We are open during rainy weather too for those of you with rain loving pups! The overhangs, patio umbrella and tree coverage keep paw parents dry too! Added bonuses, the chips dry quickly, there's no mud or slippery grass. You can also enjoy a deck with a patio table, cushioned chairs, lawn chair seating and a hammock! We also provide poop bags, doggie wipes and towels, extra dog water bowls, kiddie pools and outdoor spigot with hose for water bowl refills or hose play in the warmer months, elevated feeders for the pups who cannot bend down very well to drink and a few refreshments for humans too! Endless amounts of smells and sniffing opportunities from all the local wildlife that frequent our yard. Good space for running, playing chase, frisbee, tennis ball, chuck it, for the energetic pups, and plenty of space for meandering, or just lounging around under the shade or in sun spots for the more mature pups! 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. **Our priority is opening up our space for your furbabies to enjoy to their heart's content. If you need to bring your human children too, please make sure they are well behaved, respectful of our property and possessions, and under your mature supervision at all times! Smoking, vaping, alcohol and glass containers are NOT permitted at our spot. All 100% of booking proceeds are donated to rescue groups saving neglected/abused/sick/healthy unwanted pets dumped in overcrowded high kill shelters - including recurring monthly donations to Pets With Disabilities; Lizzy's Lodge Rescue; Miri's Legacy; Angel's Among Us Pet Rescue; Shadows Sanctuary; Southside SPCA; HART; and Lost Dog & Cat Rescue Foundation.

Joined in April 2023

We bought this house in 1997 specifically for my then pack of rescue mutts from Italy. Wide open space, private and secured high fence yard. We've always had a pack of at least 3, usually 4 and even one time 5 pups! All rescues and normally the harder to adopt out pups - senior, black, special needs and they are all my babies, I only have canine children! We are also an approved foster and fospice home for several local rescues, including HART and Shenandoah Shepherd Rescue. We are sadly down to 3 pups now, after having more than a few losses over the last couple of years. But we are now fostering a younger little whippersnapper, fun little munchkin who loves other pups but deathly afraid of new places and strangers; and a youngish senior black GSD, absolute sweetheart, though with no teeth or tail, but that doesn't stop this girl from protecting 'her pack'!! We also welcome Rescue groups volunteers to our spot, with further discounts for any shelter pups visiting. All sniffspot proceeds are donated, including monthly donations to Shadows Sanctuary, Lost Dog & Cat Rescue, Pets With Disabilities, Lizzie's Lodge Rescue, HART, Miri's Legacy, Angel's Amongst Us Rescue and Southside SPCA.

Lakeside at Reptar's in Woodbridge (Private Access to the Lake!)

Fully Fenced

A reactive dog himself, our rescue Reptar understands the value of private playtime in a safe space and invites you to enjoy his personal pup oasis! We welcome you and your dogs to enjoy our fully-fenced backyard with private lake access. We offer shade for our guests, both from the trees and a movable pop up tent. We also have a dog-kiddie pool for them to splash around in or rinse off after their dip in the lake. We provide outside toys, doggie waste bags, treats, towels and drinking water for you and our furry guests. We offer a 25 yard leash you can use when your dog is swimming if you are worried about their recall in the water. Swimming is at the discretion of the owner/booker, and we have no ability to control lake conditions. We even have an agility course for some extra fun! We welcome you to sync your phone to our Bose speaker to listen to your own music or just enjoy the sounds of nature. In the springtime, it’s the perfect weather for your dogs to swim while you enjoy the view. Lots of wildlife to enjoy, you may even help us find newly hatched baby turtles during your stay! All dogs are welcome!
