Hello! My name is Katie and dogs are my passion. Having a safe and secure location for your dog to run free and just be a dog is so important. Some dogs, like those who are reactive or extremely timid need someplace to roam and play without having to worry about interacting with other dogs or strange humans that would encounter at a traditional dog park. That’s where I come in.
6 ft fence all around to keep your pup within sight! 2 gated entrances on either side of the house. Handicap accessible with a small decline hill to enter the yard. Plenty of street parking available in a very quiet and safe neighborhood. Chairs and shade for humans to relax on the patio! I work from home so I will likely be here to answer any questions you may have! Thanks for looking! -Stephen and Liz
In the summer, we have a kiddie pool for the pups to cool off in. During warmer months there is a hose hooked up to fill a water bowl. Lots of room to roam and dog toys already scattered about the Yard! Feel free to play fetch, but leave for our next guests. If there are kids toys out, your children may use at your own risk. We do have 2 dogs of our own that will likely bark out the window. They are friendly and well socialized but jealous they aren't playing too! We also have cats that may be sitting in a window.
My back yard has a gated entrance that is secured on the inside for the safety of your pet while in the spot! Fully fenced, with some opps for sniffing other dogs through the fence. There is a chance for occasionally seeing other people and dogs but not in close contact. My pup and I will be inside, but he will probably greet you with barking. It’s a great backyard with a good space for your pup to get some off leash time. Upon request there is a puppy pool that can be put out for your pup! Seating and a table for pup parents that the majority of the day is shaded but midafternoon there is strong sun till sunset. There willl be an umbrella and stand if you would like to use that for shade. The yard is sunny most of the day. I will request picking up after your pet there is a chance there could be some piles from my own dog but I do have a service that does a weekly (Tuesday)pick up there will be a 5 gallon bucket for waste disposal, I do have a scooper that has bag clips I would ask that all poos are bagged before disposal please. If you have a high energy dog I highly recommend sitting at the top of the stairs and throwing a ball to the back corner of the yard! Wears out every Aussie I know!
Come enjoy our open back yard with plenty of room to run & play. I've had a high energy dog that was stuck living in an apartment for almost a year so I completely understand the need for somewhere that they can be free to run. I occasionally babysit other dogs. (Open to petsitting for others as well) All will be inside & unvisible during your visit. Currently unfenced, however looking into fencing soon. Just ordered a dog pool with optional sprinkler! Any accommodations that would make our spot more ideal for your pup? I would love to hear some suggestions. Feel free to message any questions or concerns. We look forward to sharing our little peice of the country with you!
