Picture this: You and your pup, nestled in the shade of magnificent oak and pepper trees, perched atop a gentle hill. As you both catch your breath from climbing the gentle hill, you can't help but be captivated by the view that stretches out before you in this is unique one acre fenced open space, in Southwest Escondido. The perfect blend of tranquility and countryside feel, all within reach of Rancho Bernardo, Lake Hodges, 4S Ranch, Penasquitos and San Marcos and 5 min away from I-15 and just 16 min. drive to Pacific Highlands Ranch in Carmel Valley. At the Artsy Dog Place you can take the leash off and as your puppy enjoys the freedom of exploring, you can tap into your own artistic talents. Art supplies are available near the picturesque shed, allowing you to unleash your creativity while your dog runs up and down the hill. Leave your mark on the shed, whether it's a message, a signature, or a whimsical drawing or paint a rock and help us start our collection! It's a place where dreams take shape, fostering a sense of togetherness and inspiration. Thoughtfully designed with your pet's safety in mind. It is securely fenced. With 2 sides of the fence, standing 6 feet tall, while the other two sides are fenced at 4 & 5 feet in height. This ensures that your dog can freely enjoy their playtime while staying safely contained. As you enjoy the serene surroundings, you might hear chickens, roosters and goats in the distance and catch glimpses of squirrels and hawks. And if you're lucky, maybe even a curious gopher or two. Nature truly thrives here! When you arrive, simply park horizontally next to the fence and enter through our black metal door, which will be open for your convenience. Doggy bags are available for your use, ensuring a clean and enjoyable experience for everyone. We also offer Homemade bug repellent. Feel free to use it, be aware that some of the ingredients may cause irritation/allergy. Ingredients: Rosemary, lavender and citronella grown in our property, lavender and citrus oil, cloves, water, alcohol, organic soap. Please be aware that a lot of ground squirrels live on the property, so there may be some holes, please dress appropriately when you visit (no heels recommended). We also kindly request that you maintain a distance of at least 5 feet from our neighbor's fence, located at the top end of the property. Our neighbor values their privacy greatly, and we aim to ensure a harmonious environment for everyone. By respecting this boundary, we can continue to keep the artsy dog park open for everyone's enjoyment. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation! Come and experience the magic of the Artsy dog place, where the arts and dog lovers meet. We can't wait to welcome you!

The Sniffspot venue is a 3 acre fully fenced area that you and your dog will have unsupervised, exclusive use of for the time that you have booked. There, you will find fresh filtered (RO) water for your canine companions, an abundance of toys, Chuckit balls and launchers, including guest supplies and other listed amenities. The entire farm is 36 fenced acres. For anyone interested, I will gladly provide supervised walks around the entire property for additional psychological enrichment at no additional cost. Note: Palmhill is a working organic farm. There may be an occasional worker sighting, but absolutely no reason for any employee to ever interact with a guest or their dogs. My interests lie in offering an affordable, stress-free, large, safe, clean, offleash venue for guests and their canine companions. Thanks to an awesome group of guests who have been with us since first opening the venue, this has been a very rewarding experience. However, there have been, a few guests who have not been doing a very good job of cleaning up after their own dogs which makes it very unpleasant for the guests who come in to the venue next. I have many visitors who pick up dog droppings of other people's dogs and don't say a word, and also return toys and balls to the recepticles, but they shouldn't have to! I actually had a guest say to me once, "Oh, I thought you had people to do that!" No, everyone is responsible for cleaning up after themselves before they leave the field. That's how we keep the venue tidy and affordable! I don't think that's an unreasonable expectation. I've had to post a list of reminders at the venue, (thank you, Michele) which I feel terrible about because they're not relevant for the MAJOROTY of Palmhill's guests. It's just a handful of mostly newer guests who aren't being very team friendly. I've met some awesome people and even more so awesome dogs, but sorry to say, if you don't play fair, you will be asked not to come back to this venue. Everyone is welcome including, large groups, highly reactive dogs, special needs dogs- dogs with anxiety, physical handicaps, previous dog park trauma dogs, etc. We love them all and will do our best to make everyone feel welcome! Thanks so much for your support! 🐾❤️🐾

The slope leads to our flat, lower dirt yard which is perfect for your dogs to run free and get their zoomies on! We do have a turf area under the play structure, as well as inside the enrichment area. We provide everything you could possibly need during your visit including lots of balls, Chuck It launchers for fetch, toys, water bowls, a hose, enrichment activities, plenty of seating, shade, a cot for the pups, towels, and more - all of which are included in the base price!

Welcome to our fully fenced area! We have lots of shade under the tree and patio. There is street parking available and side gate access. Access to sprinklers is available as well. There is no visibility to the neighbors’ backyards or into our house, so you’ll have privacy. There is a good sized digging area available in the back corner by the tree- where there is dirt and leaves instead of grass. The main light at night is a motion sensor, so walk towards the patio if it happens to turn off. Any other questions, feel free to reach out!

Come and rest your paws in our peaceful yard in the city located in easy-to-access central San Diego, on the Southcrest of Mission Valley near Snapdragon Stadium and SDSU.

The yard is fully-fenced in with plenty of tennis balls to play fetch, water bowls, and a cot if they need a rest. We also have a tree swing for both kids and adults (under 200 lbs).

Welcome to your pup's private paradise! Our exclusive backyard dog park offers the ultimate retreat for your furry friend to play, romp, and socialize in a safe and controlled environment. With lush greenery, designated play areas, and secure fencing, your dog can enjoy off-leash freedom while you relax knowing they're in a secure space. Say goodbye to crowded public parks and hello to personalized playtime tailored just for your four-legged family member. Book your spot today and treat your pup to the luxury they deserve! 1. **Supervision is Key**: Always supervise your dog while they are in the backyard, especially if they are on the hill. Keep an eye on their behavior to ensure their safety and well-being at all times. 2. **No Food Sharing**: Avoid bringing food into the backyard to prevent potential conflicts or food-related incidents. This helps maintain a peaceful environment for you and your dog to enjoy. 3. **Report Hazards Immediately**: If you notice any hazards in the backyard, such as sharp objects, toxic plants, or holes in the fence, please report them immediately. Your prompt action helps ensure a safe environment for all. 4. **Mind the Gate**: Always ensure that the gate is securely closed behind you to prevent your dog from escaping and ensure their security within the enclosed space. 5. **Know Your Dog's Limits**: Understand your dog's abilities and limitations, especially when it comes to navigating the hill. Take extra caution if your dog is not accustomed to steep terrain or has any physical limitations. 6. **Clean Up After Your Dog**: Always clean up after your dog by promptly disposing of their waste. This helps keep the space clean and hygienic for your enjoyment. 7. **Provide Adequate Water**: Ensure there is always fresh water available for your dog, especially on hot days or during physical activity. Proper hydration is essential for their health and well-being. 8. **Protect Fruits and Vegetables**: Please refrain from allowing your dog to interact with the fruit and vegetable plants in the middle of the backyard. These plants require protection to thrive, and keeping dogs away helps preserve the garden for future enjoyment. Please apply the same rules to the compost bin. 9. **No Climbing for Owners, Dogs Allowed**: We kindly request that owners refrain from climbing the hill, but dogs are permitted if they are physically capable. This rule ensures safety for all while allowing dogs to enjoy the space to their fullest extent.

Howdy! Come 1 come all to our fun little yard :) I’m an avid dog lover who just hasn’t gotten my own dog yet. So, in the meantime would love to share my yard space with y’all! Our neighbor does have two dogs who, when outside will bark at other dogs from time to time. There is a section of the fence that is chain link and the dogs can see each other. If the barking becomes too much for your dog, I will always offer refunds if you can’t stay. Other than that parking is easy and we will give you your privacy hope to see you soon!

Hi! My husband and I have a home on a third of acre on a small quiet cul-de-sac in the hills of La Mesa. The backyard is very large and is terraced, so it’s great for exercising dogs or sniffing around (lots of great smells). There are also many fruit trees you are welcome to (orange, grapefruit, lime, lemon, and fig). We also have a pergola with 4 chairs and a fire pit. Lots of shade is provided by our pecan and jacaranda trees most of the year. The backyard ground is a mixture of brick pavers, gravel, and mulch. We have several hoses throughout the yard that you’re welcome to use as much as you want. There is an empty koi pond that can be used as a splash pool for dogs too with our hoses. We also have outdoor electrical outlets and strong WiFi if needed. It’s a hillside home so there are great views of Mt. Helix and even the ocean on clear days. It’s a wonderful quiet place to relax and enjoy the outdoors!
