touch. Comfy chairs to enjoy the setting. Nice if you have no yard at all. Penny L.

55Daphne had an absolute blast at Colleen’s for her 2nd birthday! There was a cute welcome sign next to fresh water, some towels and one of those paw-cleaning water cans. The yard had 2 HUGE trees that provided excellent shade. The rope swing was a ton of fun for me too!Keith K.

55I'm a frequent flyer here! Wilbur and I love the yard and the safety it provides. Colleen is an amazing host and great communicator. She is very thoughtful, providing poop bags, poop scoopers, hand sanitizer, hand towels, and even a cup designed to clean paws! This is truly my favorite sniff spot. Ashley F.

55Always a great visit, running through the fall leaves, chasing balls, sniffs galore and a big bowl of fresh water. It’s so nice to have space for our reactive dog Lucy to stretch her legs, because she can’t go to dog parks. She’s a much happier dog since she has been visiting Colleen’s backyard!Debra M.

55Great to return to our favorite snifspot and see a welcoming note along with the normal supplies and a couple of dog toys. After the rain, it was still easy to toss the chuck it, and Lucy stayed amazingly clean! She also loved sniffing in the piles of raked leaves that were here and there.

55Host was extremely communicative and the fence is sturdy and maintained. Beautiful spacious backyard in a residental neighborhood easy to access. My dog and I were welcomed by a personized sign along with a large bowl of water, towels, and treats. My dog was thrilled to run around off leash. 10/10 would reccomend and will definitely go back!

55Colleen’s place was perfect. High fence, no dogs in the area, plenty of room to run around, and treats for my Boston. He was able to actually have the zoomies that he can’t in my tiny yard. She was very communicative and helpful with my questions before I even booked. Dustin B.

55Quiet. Fence/gate secure. Lots of interesting things for a dog to sniff. There is a motor home parked to the side; there are flower beds, grill, hot tub (covered securely) and more. I had to keep a close eye on Molly so she didn’t get into something she shouldn’t.Sonya R.

55First time visiting with my pup today. It was a warm day, but the yard was shady with a nice breeze. Her friend wasn’t able to join, so she spent her time sniffing all around, which she loves. Water, treats and poop bags were left out by the owner. It was a good experience and we will definitely be back for late afternoon visits with the warm weather.Kate S.

55Peaceful and very safe, clean yard. My fearful dog had so much fun she didn't want to leave, and neither did I. Well worth the money and we will be returning soon.
Thank you Colleen. This was hugely healing for my dog, and me.Kathy M.

We also recommend reading reviews to check for park maintenance issues and reaching out to the host with any questions. And lastly, of course, check park hours. Many of our parks are open from dawn until dusk.
