Shanie's Fully Fenced Yard For Dogs To Rent In Silver Spring

Fully Fenced
0.11 acres

A beautiful rectangular fenced yard on quiet cul de sac street with outdoor couch on and table, fairy lights, and flower gardens. Dogs love to chase each other around the large tree, bask on the lawn, and explore the bamboo patch behind the sheds. Lots of birds and squirrels to watch. Areas of shade and sun, fire pit, water bowls, doggie bags, and trash cans. No dogs live in the house. There are neighbor dogs but rarely outside. My tenant very occasionally may come or go out the corner of the yard, but she loves dogs and will not bother you.

Two benches are outside for your comfort, with plenty of shade, while your fur baby enjoys the sunshine.
