Aloha Raleigh

We offer a fully fenced private backyard oasis that is perfect for both dogs and their human friends! We have 1/4 acre play yard that provides plenty of shade for our guests from the large oak tree on property. Human guests are welcome to use the outdoor chairs on the deck that overlooks play area for dogs. Deck has gates so smaller dogs can have their own secure area if needed. Muddy paws? No thanks! Our property has beautifully landscaped with turf, which is low maintenance for easy cleanup. We provide water bowls, a hose (for quick clean up if needed), and a doggy trash can. The Fire pit can be used but guests need to provider their own wood and kindling. We hope you enjoy our special retreat in the city!

Tor's Fenced Yard In Raleigh

0.06 acres

In a completely safe neighborhood near Crabtree, there is a small personal wading pool, and the yard doesn't have any grass, but plenty of room to walk around. If this catches on, I will add some more "obstacles" and play things, but good inexpensive option if you would like to just have a place for your dog to hang out while you are at work or away. Will negotiate for longer term stays.

***Naturally treat our yard in the summer so that our guests can enjoy As a rescuer, I totally understand some dogs just can't do social (myself, most of the time too), so dog park is a No. SniffSpot is an option for those special pooches. Quiet private Oasis for guests, private 100% fenced yard, sloped grass yard with 3 patio area. A lot to sniff, a lot of stairs to work out those legs. Very clean yard since I pick up after my own dogs daily. You can sit and relax or enjoy your book or bring a date. Squirrels and birds will make your visit more exciting. We're only 3 mins from Fenton, 2 mins from Downtown Cary. ***in the summer we add a baby doggie pool, fresh water, right before booking. Bring a towel if your baby loves water*** We provide a shop fan in the summer, our yard doesn't feel too hot 6-9 pm in summer is good time to come play Please msg us if you don't see any availability 😀

Dog Park at Millbrook Exchange Park

Rules and Etiquette for Off-Leash Dog Areas  All dogs outside the off-leash dog park fence must be and remain on a leash at all times (City Code 12-3011). Off-leash dogs can run off, get lost and be a hazard to other people and dogs.  It shall be unlawful for any person in charge of a dog to fail to remove feces deposited by the dog on publicly owned property (City Code Sec. 12-3011[b]). Pick up after your pet. The park provides bags and trashcans in many parks and along trails for you to use.  Female dogs in heat shall be confined in a building or secure enclosure and therefore are not permitted to use the dog park (City Code 12-3012).  It shall be unlawful for an owner to fail to provide current rabies inoculation for any dog 4 months or older. The metal tag shall be securely fastened to the dog’s collar (City Code 12-3008). Always keep your dog up to date on all vaccinations, especially rabies, and have them checked regularly by a veterinarian. This prevents the spread of disease in a place where many dogs come in contact with each other and wild animals every day.  Puppies using this park must be a minimum of 4 months old. All dogs shall be healthy and properly vaccinated.  Handlers must carry a leash and remain inside the fenced area within view and voice control of their dogs at all times.  Acts of aggression against other dogs or people are prohibited. Dogs must be removed if uncontrollable. Handlers must stop dogs from digging and must fill any hole created by their dogs.  No more than three dogs per handler for each visit to the park.  Choke, prong, pinch, and spike collars must be removed inside park area.  Close adult supervision is required for children under the age of 12.  No food or dog chews are allowed within the off-leash area (picnic shelter area is exempted).  No littering. Place all trash in receptacles.  Climbing on or over the fence is not permitted.  Parks and Recreation staff have the authority to close the site for maintenance, weather related problems and special events.  Be mindful of other kids and pets in the park. Although your dog might never harm anyone, the behavior of other dogs and people is always unpredictable. For questions or to volunteer, call 919- 872-4156. In the event of an emergency, dial 911

Park hours: Mon - Sun : 7 a.m.–10 p.m.
