Hi! Welcome to Grassy Bliss! Your own personal dog park! Super soft grass that is well maintained in a peaceful neighborhood. We built this fence for our dogs to enjoy the backyard. They have all crossed over Rainbow Bridge so we thought that other pups could enjoy it as much as ours did. Thanks for stopping by!

2/3 Acre Fully Fenced Wooded Hillside Private Dog Park In Alexandria

Fully Fenced
0.5 acres

Fully fenced, very private, approximately 2/3 of an acre spot in an Alexandria neighborhood. Our yard is unique and has some flat, but mostly hilly wooded areas that are fantastic for any dogs looking to burn off some energy chasing squirrels or sniffing around! Relax and bring a picnic at our outdoor table or couch seating areas while your best friend has the time of their lives! I have 2 dogs who are typically away at doggy daycare from about 10am to 3:30pm Monday through Friday. They are home on the weekends and before and after doggy daycare. They are friendly but will likely bark. We also have an indoor/outdoor cat who we will keep inside during any reserved times. Note: we do have a pool in an enclosed area but ask we that dogs stay out of the pool area.
