HOST REPORTS

Sometimes

Our neighbor’s dog, Bull, occasionally crosses the street without a leash. He’s a very nice and harmless dog, but if your dog might be triggered by him and could potentially jump the fence, this spot may not be the best fit for you. The fence is 3.5ft. Our dog will be kept inside the house and away from the windows, so hopefully you won’t see or hear him. However, he would absolutely love to make some new friends! If you’re interested in setting up a playdate, please let us know!

HOST REPORTS

No

We’ve noticed some confusion about the deer—please know that deer are wild animals, not domestic—as you can imagine we don’t own them! 😊 Domestic animals are species that have been bred to live alongside humans, such as dogs, cats, chickens, goats, cows, and horses. Deer, on the other hand, are wild—they simply pass through the property from time to time. We have no control over their behavior or presence.

Description

Hello fellow pet parents! We have a total of three lush green acres available for your beloved pet friends to explore. The space is fully-fenced. Our fence is a 3.5 foot high cattle fence with wire mesh. The entrance to our spot is a large metal swing gate. The spot has cut short-grass. There are lots of deer among other animals in the area so your dog can have their own sniffing adventure! No need to worry if your dog is reactive because these animals usually keep their distance. We have digging areas and poop bags. We also have some wood planks that could possibly be used for agility jumps (See pictures). You can enjoy a chill hangout at the picnic table, or relax on the lawn chairs while watching your pup. Hand sanitizer, sunscreen, and a trash can will be provided as well. At this time we are not able to offer water or doggy bowls. The area is quite tranquil; you can enjoy birds chirping or even meditate. Portable lawn chairs are also accessible. It’s a perfect place to take some time off from daily life struggles and relax; both for you and your furry friend! Shady spots are available during any time of the day if you don’t like to be under the sun. We would love to see your furry friends enjoying our yard. Please feel free to share their pictures at the spot! If you have any questions please do not hesitate to reach out! Heads up: Our lawn service comes every other Wednesday. Please keep this in mind if you’re booking on a Wednesday. Thanks so much for your understanding!

Cleanliness

98% of guests said this spot was as clean as expected during their visit.

Hazards

HOST NOTE

There may be some deer droppings around the yard, which, for some mysterious reason, seem to be a very tempting treat for some dogs (ours included!). While we’re making every effort to keep the spot as clean as possible, it’s a challenge to stay on top of it all the time!

Additional rules

We’ve got a 30-minute gap between bookings that we use to walk our very entitled dog. So if you’re thinking of showing up early or hanging out a bit longer, just give us a heads-up—he gets cranky if his walk gets skipped (and honestly, so do we)! Our notice time for bookings is currently set to 1 hour because, yep—you guessed it—dog walk duties. But if you suddenly find yourself with some free time and need a last-minute booking, feel free to message us! If we’re around (and the dog’s been walked), we’ll do our best to fit you in!

Never enter a spot before your booking start time and never leave late.
Pick up after your dogs. Leave the spot as it was when you arrived.

Welcome to Zen Paw Ranch! 🐾 My husband and I are passionate animal lovers and proud parents to Köpük, our energetic pointer-husky mix! For years, city life made it challenging to give Köpük the space and freedom he truly deserved. Now, living in a farmhouse on five acres of lush green land, he’s thriving like never before and we want to share that joy with other pet parents because every dog deserves the chance to run free, unleashed and happy. Our goal is to provide a clean, safe, and peaceful environment where pets can run, play, and explore to their heart’s content. We’re beyond excited to open our space and create a wonderful experience for you and your furry friends!

Welcome to our yard… and home to our “$10 guarantee.” We love our animals above all else and want to make sure everyone can afford to have a large, safe place for their pups to run and play. That’s why, despite our overwhelming growth in popularity over the past year, we pledge to all our visitors that we won’t raise the price above $10. This is a very large fenced yard behind a single family home close to the end of a cul de sac. Back of yard is up against a small stream and a tree line. There is a small grassy trench that runs part of the yard so be careful if running with your dog! If you share a post or story of your dog(s) using our space to your Instagram, feel free to tag us @dominoandfosters and/or use the “Domino’s Digs” location tag! We love seeing pics of happy pups.
