The best hour of my life in the past year! Beautiful property clean pool. It was like a resort and mostly it was safe for Cyrus! He ran we both swim. I think it's been 5 years since I've been in a pool

Tsion A.

September 2024

We celebrated our dog's birthday at this stunning property, and it was an absolute delight! The off-leash area is expansive and beautifully maintained, with plenty of toys and space for the pups to either run wild and free or simply explore at their own pace. One of the highlights was the secure pool area—our dogs had a blast just dipping their paws in and cooling off. From the serene environment to the fresh drinking water provided, every detail was thoughtfully considered to ensure a safe and joyful experience for both pets and owners. Our pups were overjoyed, making us feel we chose the perfect spot for her special day. I would absolutely recommend it to anyone looking to make their dog's day extra special!

Amazing place! Super clean, well landscaped, spacious, fully fenced and secured, calm and quiet! My Rosie didn’t stop running since we arrived. Did not see traces of poop, like I said it is a super clean. Coming back next weekend. It is worth the 50 minutes drive from Stamford.

Very accessible, peaceful and private fun space for our two dogs. Water bowl with water and toys left by the hosts came in handy. Fence provides 100% security. The space is lovely. Host very responsive to inquiries. We and our pups highly recommend!

What a lovely spot ! My dog had a blast running around and exploring the large fenced in yard . We booked this spot for a reunion with my pup’s foster and foster siblings and it was perfect space for it . Loads of toys and water for the pups , would come back again !

Kristen E.

Beautiful big yard, lots of trees and plants to sniff that kept my pup occupied for nearly the entire hour we visited. Fence was secure. You could occasionally hear people and dogs in the distance, but nothing close by and was otherwise very quiet.

Allison C.

October 2024

This is such a wonderful sniff spot! Our dogs love coming here and this time we were able to bring our foster pups along! The dogs had a great time running and playing in the very spacious, safe, and meticulously clean yard. Bill is responsive and provides everything you need (water, toys, etc.). The dogs had the best day, and we can’t wait to come back soon! Thank you for opening up your yard to us!

Awesome property. Terrain was great for romping around and exploring. Quiet neighborhood, excluded. All 3 of my fur babies really enjoyed, and we will make it part of our routine. Host provided water bowl with fresh bottled water, a bin of toys for fetch and tug, and sanitary items to clean up after the pooch. Adirondack chairs for the hoomans to relax and let the dogs do their thing. Overall, I highly recommend it!
