My love for animals was passed down to me from my late mother Donna (whom I’ve named my spot for in her honor) and my grandmother Diana who fostered hundreds of dogs. If I could, I would have my own 100 acre woods with as many animals that would fit! I hope you and your dog/dogs, enjoy the yard as much as we do! I have two dogs myself, a Shar Pei, Sasha, and a TeddyPoo, Shadow, that keep me busy!

Half acre fenced in with gazebo chairs table. Filled kiddie pool on request.. it’s pretty private and serene. There is a playground, sandbox, swing in the tree and plenty of toys. Porch swing is under deck water bowls are by the hose. Feel free to fill them up if they are empty. We usually have everything ready. We made this spot in honor of Lola, a 2 year old American bulldog. She was so aggressive we loved her and tried everything, we failed. This is a safe spot!! We just added an extra dog bath feature. Check it out!

Ayanna's Fully Fenced Yard For Dogs To Rent In Matteson

Fully Fenced
0.02 acres

Welcome to Ayanna’s Fully Fenced Yard, a spacious, safe, and tail-wagging paradise designed for dogs to run, play, and just be dogs. Located in Matteson, this private yard offers the perfect environment for off-leash fun, training sessions, or relaxing outdoor time with your pup. 🌿 Space & Safety This large, fully enclosed yard gives dogs the freedom they crave without compromising safety. The sturdy fencing wraps securely around the entire property, making it ideal for small, medium, and large breeds alike. Whether your dog loves to sprint, explore, or practice recall, there’s more than enough room to move comfortably. 🐕 Play & Enrichment The yard is built for fun and stimulation. Expect plenty of open grassy space for fetch, tug-of-war, and zoomies. You can also incorporate: Training drills (perfect for obedience or K9 work) Agility-style play setups Socialization sessions in a controlled environment This makes it a great option for dog owners, trainers, and working dog handlers. 🌳 Comfort & Relaxation Shaded areas provide relief on warmer days, while open sunny spots are perfect for dogs who love to bask. There’s space for owners to sit back, supervise, or even enjoy a peaceful break while their dog explores. 💧 Convenience Features To make your visit easy and enjoyable: Fresh water access for hydration Room to bring toys, training tools, or equipment Clean, well-maintained grounds 🎯 Perfect For: High-energy dogs that need space to run Private playtime away from crowded dog parks Training sessions (obedience, protection, or behavior work) Puppy socialization in a controlled setting Dog birthdays, playdates, or small group meetups 🐾 The Experience Ayanna’s yard isn’t just a space—it’s a safe, stress-free environment where dogs can be themselves. No crowded parks, no unpredictable encounters—just freedom, safety, and fun. If you want, I can turn this into a booking listing (like Sniffspot style) with pricing, rules, and add-ons to help you start making money from it.
