The Poop n' Play Paw-adise 🐕

Fully Fenced

🐶 A tired dog is a happy dog :) 📍This ~3000sq/ft of private fully fenced yard is a great area to let your dogs run, especially reactive pups! Letting a dog off the leash where they can run around makes a huge difference for a dog’s well-being, mentally and physically. I believe all dogs deserve their own private space to live their best lives. This is the best safe space for the ultimate off leash play. 💲This spot is the most affordable with membership! 🐾 Thank you for choosing my Sniff Spot 🐾

Hello! I'm a military member and have been the proud homeowner of this property for over two years. One of the highlights for me was the spacious backyard, which I initially planned to fill with chickens and a lush garden. However, two years later, it's still completely empty—oops! So, I thought, why not rent it out to pet owners who can enjoy and make the most of this space? Looking forward to hearing from you!
