My dog loved this spot! Just enough space to run around! Great location with easy access from the front and the back

Huge backyard with a fun bucket of toys (my pup loved the bone) and a bunch of space to sniff around. You might be able to hear the owners pup but you won’t see it. Also parking that’s not on the street!!! The owner is very nice and has water and poop bags as well.

Nice big space, very pretty. Lots of things to sniff. Lora of leaves this tome of year. My dog had a blast rolling in the.

Great yard with lots of room to run and sniff! Nice to have off street parking. Fresh water. Owner was very sweet, definitely an animal lover. Didn't hear her dogs inside. Toys and sticks for Fletcher to play with. Comfy swing for me to sit in while he smelled everything.

We had a great time at Sid's! The yard was great for running around and playing. There were lots of fun sights and sounds from wind chimes which my dog enjoyed watching and listening to. I was concerned about it being in a busier street, but we didn't see anyone walk by while we there, let alone any other dogs. We will be visiting again!

Sid's yard is great for a medium-sized dog to run. My dog Jin had a great time exploring the whole yard and loved playing fetch with one the squeaky toy balls already there. A little precarious in winter conditions in some spots (some small objects frozen into the snow, etc), but a large portion of the yard is a clear area for running and playing. The main street on one side can be busy with traffic and I saw one passing dog walker in my time there, but the yard was large enough that it was fairly easy to ignore. Off street parking is a major plus as well. We will be back to frolic in the snow, and I'm sure the warmer months will be even lovelier.

Sid is friendly and kind, and has a great yard for pups to run around in! Due to the season, it was a little icy out so take caution when chasing after balls with your pup.

Reuben and I had a great time! Her yard was spacious and even her pups came out to play! We will definitely be back.

Haley N.

March 2023

Nice big yard! I can’t wait to see it when there’s less snow. There is a lot of traffic in the street and a lot of dogs on leashes passed by and there are quite a few neighborhood dogs. It wasn’t an issue for us but more reactive dove may have issues.

Sid is great with dogs! I have a dog that suffered a trauma and she’s aggressively scared of humans. Sid understands how to approach and win over scared doggies.She’s great! Not long after we arrived my dog was comfortable with Sid and her two nice doggos and they teared around the big yard together! It’s a great yard for sniffers! We’ll be back often!

My dog enjoyed the yard! The fence was high enough to prevent him jumping over and the toy selection was nice

Jonae H.

August 2023

Lovely, mostly shaded yard! Had a box full of toys that my dog loved! There is a nice sitting area with chairs and a hammock. Fully fenced and felt cozy and safe. There are two holes in the yard that my dog tried to dig in, so if you don’t want your dog getting dusty from two dirt holes, I don’t recommend. But otherwise it was so lovely.

Kristine M.

Great location in the heart of Saint Paul. Lots for dogs to smell and explore and keep them busy if they aren’t big on playing.

Laura A.

We enjoyed our experience. It felt like a safe and calm space for our rescue pup, who is dealing with reactivity. We were at Angela’s in the afternoon and had no issues. There was space for our pup to run and the fence was tall enough for her. No visibility of other dogs or animals (besides normal squirrels). Unfortunately, we didn’t take pics! We would book again for our pup as it was closer to home :)

Perfect spot for an afternoon of training and playing in the sun in a lovely neighborhood with lots of parks to visit after as well! Very sweet host will def be visiting again!

Cristina C.

May 2022

The yard was nicely enclosed with a high fence, and the area felt private and enclosed. It was a great space for my rescue dog to explore, sniff, and play fetch. There was also a water bowl and chairs, a nice touch! The surrounding area was nice to explore too, with a nearby park. Parking was easy and convenient, and the entrance was easy to find. We’ll definitely be returning!

This is a nice sized yard with easy access to a private entrance. I was able to meet the hosts and they were all very nice and accommodating. A bonus for me was that it was only a 12 minute drive from downtown Minneapolis.

Vanessa S.

November 2022

Tinaisha’s place is fantastic. The yard is big enough to tire out my German shepherd after 45 minutes of fetch. The yard is kept clean and safe. Lastly, Tinaisha is a great host! My dog and I will definitely be back.

Fully gated area, you can park inside the back. Highly recommend messaging the host early as you can to coordinate the visit. Very friendly host! Nice back yard fully fenced and no other pets! Close to downtown and 94!

Communicated with the host that we were running 15 minutes late her family was fantastic! They made sure the gate was open and we had lights out! Well gated and a wonderful spot to bring your very active pet! A+
