Description

Makda's back yard is a private oasis in DC's Capital View neighborhood. The enclosed space is approximately 30ft x 30ft with both grass and concrete areas and a lovely covered pergola with seating for humans. The space can accommodate 2-3 medium-large dogs comfortably with enough room to run and play. A water hose with storage reel will be available to connect to the outdoor water spigot along the side of the house for drinking water and use with our Splash Pad and Wading Pool (available to rent). There is ample street parking in front of the house for up to 2 vehicles.

Hazards

HOST NOTE

There are a couple of thorny rosebushes along the path from the gate to the yard that can be painful to run into or if you step on any fallen branches. Trash periodically blows into the yard from the alley, which is impossible to completely prevent. We touch up the yard a few times a week but be mindful if your pup likes to chew on garbage things.

Relax and Play in Springfield, VA

Fully Fenced

This yard has always been a special place for our family. Our dog loved racing through the grass here, full of energy and joy. After saying goodbye, my wife and I wanted to open the space to other dogs so they could enjoy it just as much as he did. Our large, fully fenced yard offers plenty of room to run, sniff, and explore safely. The 7-foot wooden fence keeps everything secure, perfect for off-leash play or reactive pups who need a little extra space. The yard features lush grass with mulch beds beneath mature trees, giving your dog both open sunshine and cool shade to enjoy. There’s a seating area with table and chairs, balls for playtime, and access to a hose and electrical outlet for your convenience. Off-street parking makes arrival easy and stress-free. Set in a quiet suburban neighborhood, just a short drive from Alexandria, Arlington and Washington DC. This is a peaceful spot to unwind, train, be off-leash and let your dog be a dog. We hope your pup feels right at home here. In the fall the yard gets covered in leaves. I do my best to keep them tidy, but they seem to have their own plans. Our dog used to love racing through the piles, and most pups enjoy the extra smells and crunch — hopefully yours does too.
