Janet's Durham City Bark Park

I have a fully fenced in yard. There is one gap, but we have covered it with cinder blocks. It is a 6 ft privacy fence, so you shouldn’t see the neighbors. One set of next door neighbors has a dog that is occasionally out. Please keep dogs on leash when outside of the yard. Thank you! Out in the yard there will be balls for your pup to play with, a water bowl, and a hose. We can also set up a tent we use for vendor events when it’s sunny or raining for shade/coverage. Just let us know in advance. There is also shade from a large tree in the yard. If you need a dog first aid kit, we will have one in the house along with things like water for humans, snacks for pups and humans, and a restroom for humans to use. If you need a towel for your pup, let us know, and we’ll be glad to give you a dog towel to use. We will bring things out to you. These are only available if we are home. Street parking is available at all times. You may park in the driveway, but please ask first in case one of us is going to have to leave (or coming back) while you are there.

Michelle's 0.75 Acre Fully Fenced Private Dog Park In Pittsboro

Private Dog Park In Northgate Park

First timers: use discount code PupLove14 for $2 off! Welcome to my private dog park! It’s a great space for pups to explore and relax without worrying about other dogs or animals. I have a 9 foot privacy fence surrounding most of the yard, which can be latched but is never locked. I have grassy, gravelly, and mulchy areas for the pups and a seating area for the humans. There is also a hose for filling water bowls and toys in the yard or shed. There are no resident dogs, only curious (indoor only) kitties who may peep at you. Sometimes we dog sit, but we will be extremely conscientious to not allow the dogs near each other. Let me know if you have questions 😊

King of Cary

***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 😀

Rene's Fully Fenced Yard For Dogs To Rent In Raleigh

Our home is situated on a very private and beautiful (0.7 acre) lot which is largely surrounded by woods. The fully fenced backyard (0.3 acre) has plenty of room to run and also some interesting areas to sniff and explore. My family moved to Raleigh in 2022 and our first priority was to install a backyard fence for our 2 dogs (Ginger, staffordshire terrier and Cici, pit/lab mix). Sadly, in 2025 both senior dogs crossed the rainbow bridge. Lately our big empty backyard has been a painful reminder of that loss, so it truly brings me joy to have the privilege to open our space for other dogs. They deserve it!

3 wooded acres backing up to gamelands

We have 3.3 wooded acres set back from the cul de sac and we back up to Duke Progress public game land. Previous owners created a trail out there that connects to a power line cut and 4x4 trails. You can hike for miles if you want and probably won’t see another person. We have a doggy paradise on our 3+ acres.

Nice Quiet Woods with Creek (and poultry!)

Our property covers the creek by the road and extends into woods that are not used by anyone. Our friendly cat may join you on your walk, or you could get quacked at by my ducks! I can secure the cat and ducks if needed, but my chickens are very independent and tend to stay close to the house. I am home most of the time, and usually outside to give walking tips or point out landmarks; also for any problems! My yard is not part of the site! I would prefer if you would keep your dogs secure around my home and pet poultry, until you get down to the creek/woods.
