55Remy had a great time running around! Lovely space for play time and sniffing.
55this place rocks, my dog is obsessed with the balls that Janet provides—even more than his own toys lol. as always we had a blast
55lovely yard! my pup is a big sniffer rather than player, and she had a blast here.
55so much fun! great sized yard, secure fence, and balls to play with. we had a blast
45The space was very nice and great for hanging out with our puppies and friends. The mosquitoes were a bit intense so bring bug spray!
55Great backyard and experience for my chihuahua! He's very small so I had to keep an eye on some of the few small gaps under the fence, but he was so busy with the excitement of the yard that he never wanted to leave!
55Patrick brought a friend this time and they had a blast zooming and sniffing around
55This sniff spot is perfect for my excited reactive dog -- we live in an apartment without a yard. And to be able to take a quick break from walking the neighborhood gauntlet of dogs and squirrels is necessary for my sanity! I loved sitting in this peaceful yard with my coffee while my dog happily ran and sniffed and enjoyed his freedom. I'll be coming back often! Thanks for opening your yard to us :)
55All visits so far have been exactly what me and my pup needed while living in an apartment! The yard is tidy and spacious and we will be regulars going forward.
55Patrick had a blast exploring the variety of smells to be had, had plenty of room for his zoomies. Great space!

Description

I have a fully fenced in yard. There is one gap, but we have covered it with cinder blocks. It is a 6 ft privacy fence, so you shouldn’t see the neighbors. One set of next door neighbors has a dog that is occasionally out. Please keep dogs on leash when outside of the yard. Thank you! Out in the yard there will be balls for your pup to play with, a water bowl, and a hose. We can also set up a tent we use for vendor events when it’s sunny or raining for shade/coverage. Just let us know in advance. There is also shade from a large tree in the yard. If you need a dog first aid kit, we will have one in the house along with things like water for humans, snacks for pups and humans, and a restroom for humans to use. If you need a towel for your pup, let us know, and we’ll be glad to give you a dog towel to use. We will bring things out to you. These are only available if we are home. Street parking is available at all times. You may park in the driveway, but please ask first in case one of us is going to have to leave (or coming back) while you are there.

Large backyard with a pool. Lots of areas to sniff around. Grass on one side and shady leafy area on the other. A doggy paradise. The pool and fire pit are available for use by adding it in extras. The pool is heated, typically until December and then I start again in March but feel free to ask. The fire pit is available if you bring your own wood. That is also available through extras.

Pack up some snacks, grab your sturdiest walking shoes, and bring plenty of fresh water because you’ll definitely want to spend hours exploring this beautiful slice of countryside.

Pinwheel Path

Fully Fenced
2.5 acres

Our 2.5 acre park is a tranquil path through the woods with multiple path options and limitless nature to behold, accompanied by a soundtrack of birds and insects. The ample trails that cover the park are easy to traverse, and your dogs will be delighted exploring the endless smells in between those paths to sniff…and pee on. If you love to hike with your dog but wish they could be off leash to investigate the wonders of the woods so you can marvel at the variety of ferns and fungi, this is the place to let your dog run free without worrying about them getting lost. The trails and fencing are a continual work in progress, maintained and built over a decade and then some. We ask our own dogs to help decide where any new paths should go, and if there are any gaps in the perimeter fencing, we hope you and your dogs will do the same. Please be mindful of roots and rocks along the paths, the trail is more natural in some places than others. Get your birding app ready, put your running shoes on, bring your camera and binoculars--there is more to this park than joyous zoomies for your dog! Trail Length: park perimeter is approx. .25 miles, all (3) loops are approx. .58 miles
