Description

🏠🏠🐶🐾💜 Welcome to 105 Cato — a peaceful private property designed for dogs (and humans) who love space to explore, sniff, decompress, and roam. The property features a winding loop driveway system, large open grassy areas, wooded borders, mature trees, and multiple quiet pockets to wander at your own pace. Whether your dog wants to sprint, sniff every inch of the lawn, relax in the shade, or explore new scents along the wooded edges, there’s room to do it here. Guests can enjoy: • A scenic pond area with deck access • Open grassy spaces for running and play • Quiet walking loops throughout the property • Wooded surroundings and natural scent enrichment • Multiple entrance/access points for convenience • A peaceful, private setting away from crowded public dog parks This spot is especially great for: • Reactive dogs needing private off-leash time • High-energy dogs who need room to move • Dogs who enjoy sniffing and exploring nature • Owners looking for a calm, relaxing environment The property has a cozy estate-like feel with mature landscaping, tree-lined driveways, and lots of space to slow down and enjoy being outside together. Please respect the property, stay within designated guest areas, and help keep the space beautiful for future visitors. We’re excited to share this special spot with fellow dog lovers. Meet & Greet with resident goofball golden Turbo available upon request. NOTE: Reservations available sunset to sundown only, due to limited lighting and coyote hazards at night. SEASONAL NOTE: This spot will not be available during the winter due to ice hazards and limited snow removal.

Hi! I’m Briana — lifelong dog lover, creative thinker, and the caretaker of this special little slice of property at Cato Corner. I created this Sniffspot to give dogs (and their humans) a peaceful, fun, low-pressure place to explore, sniff, swim, play, and just be dogs. My goal is simple: make guests feel welcome, comfortable, and excited to come back. 💜

Shayla's Paradise Fully Fenced In Middletown

Fully Fenced

0.5 acres

Welcome to Shayla’s Paradise — a peaceful, fully fenced backyard created out of love for a very special golden retriever named Shayla. She inspired the purchase of this home because of the spacious yard she adored so much. Though Shayla has passed, her spirit lives on here through happy paws, wagging tails, and endless playtime. Today, the yard is still enjoyed daily by her siblings, Zayn and Lola Bunny, who love running, exploring, and relaxing in the space. Your pup will have access to a large fully fenced yard perfect for sniffing, zoomies, fetch, or simply relaxing in the sun. The space also includes fresh water access, a kiddie swimming pool for the pups, a cozy hammock for owners to unwind, and a beautiful two-tier patio/deck area to sit back and enjoy while your dog plays safely. Chuck it balls and thrower provided! Thoroughly washed after each use for the next doggies to enjoy! Whether your dog needs a quiet private space, exercise, enrichment, or just a peaceful outdoor adventure, Shayla’s Paradise was made with dogs in mind and welcomes every wagging tail like family. My 2 dogs will be kept inside during your visit. You may hear them bark at first arrival.
