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
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!

Large & well kept private off leash dog park. Conveniently located to 141, Faulkland Rd & Kirkwood Hwy. We are happy to provide toys for play or balls for fetching. We welcome you to pull up a chair or relax in the hammock while your dogs get exercise. We have three bird feeders so there’s lots of birds to watch, you are also welcome to feed our rooster or chickens. We also run a dog daycare so if you like we usually have other dogs for your dog to play and socialize with. Our grass is treated for fleas and ticks naturally but we do ask for our visiting dogs to be on a flea and tick preventative to keep everyone safe and comfortable. You are welcome to use the fire pit on chilly days. We also have a galvanized tub for washing your pets paws or even bathing if you like.

The Oasis (3 Acres & Lake)
People have occasionally been showing up around the lake - please be aware of this We do test for blue green algae (scroll to picture 5) and we tested NEGATIVE. The lake is safe and not suffering from any toxic algae blooms. Does your dog love to run? Love to swim? Love to chill in the shade? We have it all! Enjoy 3 acres of fenced in land to run around, a private lake for your pup to swim in or do some dock diving, and a bamboo forest perfect for getting some shade and feeling at peace. We have an active train that can run nearby twice a day. Most dogs don't mind, but if yours does, be mindful that it can show up (: Two people per dog please maximum! 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

Corey's 1 Acre Fully Fenced Private Dog Park In Wilmington
Welcome to our 1 acre fully fenced private dog park! Some quick tips, make sure to look for our brick driveway as some GPS systems will navigate to our neighbors house. The gates are cattle style gates, to enter the backyard lift straight up on the back metal lever and push forward. Our fencing is mostly split rail fencing with some privacy fencing as well. There is wire around the entire perimeter to ensure safety. If you have extra small or toy size dogs I would recommend caution, but the fence is secure. We occasionally hear some dogs barking in our neighborhood, and my dogs on occasion but rarely may bark as well. I would also note that there are a few indoor/outdoor cats in our neighborhood that can be seen from time to time. A couple of further notes to be aware of. First off, this is not a small yard that is perfectly kept with 100% grass coverage. It is a very large field with some large trees especially in the back. Because of that, if we get heavy rain it will likely be a bit soggy, and there might be some spots of mud. This is mostly noticeable in the cooler months, but even in the summer if we get enough rain it is possible. If you have any issues with your dogs running and playing in a large field/wooded environment after heavy rainfall please be aware and schedule accordingly! Another note is there is a train that runs along the back of the house beyond the fence up on the hill. The dogs never seem to mind it though, we actually like it! Other than that, it is a very quiet neighborhood. I hope you enjoy!
