Hello! I love dogs, but have none myself. I have a small backyard and below are some things to know about it: -Unused by children and dogs. -Privacy fence all around. -One light above concrete slab. -There is a security camera in my backyard. -Grass, one big tree and 3 smaller trees. Also has a small concrete slab. -Treated for pest and weed control. -It can get a little muddy when it rains. -Neighbors on either side have a dog. The house to the left has a medium sized dog and the house to the right has a smaller sized dog. (They are not left out all day. They may or may not be out for your visit.) -A little sloped toward the back. -My cats do use it when I am home, but will NOT be out for your visit. All my cats are current on vaccines. -There is a sliding glass door and two windows that face the backyard. Blinds/windows WILL be closed for everyone's privacy. Please let me know if you have any questions! :)
