We had another wonderful visit. The dogs benefit so much from having this space available to run, play, and explore - thank you so much!

Very clean green space for your dog to enjoy! Securely fenced in. Refreshing to find a space like this in the city for apartment dwellers. My standard poodle is excitement reactive to other dogs so he doesn’t really get other safe off leash experiences. Did not add on pool this time but will have to in the future! Beautiful landscaping. @Standard.LaForge

We have a new favorite place to go to! And it’s so close! Completely fenced in from the moment you pull in from the gate. The grounds offered so much for the dogs who love to explore and sniff and huge yard to play fetch in! We opted to add on the pool experience for my girls because they love swimming and it was great! Right off of the pool deck there was another door that led to another small area to potty. The girls fully enjoyed the experience of walking all around the grounds off leash. So much exploring, fetching, and just running around. We’re definitely coming back soon!

Beautiful Beautiful Property! Secure place for pups to sniff & roam while mom sits in the shade. We enjoyed the pool so much too. We will be back.

Our first time at Jeff’s and our dog Kirby had the best time. It was clean, safe, relaxing and spacious. Kirby had free range to explore and there was plenty of shade and access to water and clean up tools. Plenty of seating for dog parents to sit back and watch their dogs engage in lots of sniffing!

This place is awesome! It’s really a dog’s paradise. There is so much land for a dog to run, play and explore. My Hazel was exhausted after just 30min! I will definitely be back :)

My boys had the best time at Jeff’s. There were so many new smells for them to investigate. They love to chase the ball so it was great that there was such nice grass to run run run & then chill out for a bit after all the running. We definitely look forward to our next visit 🤗

Just came from Jeff’s place in Sarasota. I cannot tell you how much fun our pittie “Sancho” had— and so did my wife and I. Especially the pool—which was clean & cool! If you’re looking for a GREAT place to take your best friend—Jeff’s is THE place😀 Doug & Heidi T Sarasota.

Beautiful, well maintained spot with plenty of extras to keep things interesting. This spot was so peaceful while still being right in town, the most convenient location honestly— but they have huge fences that make you feel like you’re in your own little sanctuary. So many cardinals flying around, and hammocks to sit on and watch and listen, I enjoyed this spot just as much as my pup did. Plenty of room to run, and explore, optional salt water pool to swim in, hose, mt dog really enjoy himself. Next time (because I will definitely be back) I might even try to play some disc golf!

Beautiful large space. Pool is great. My dogs had the best time investigating the whole area. Very safe. Hosts are super friendly.

My two dogs had a blast playing in the pool and running around in the yard. The owner has clearly put a lot of thought into the safety of dogs by ensuring the fence line was well secure.

Wonderful property and host. Been here twice now and my two dogs have had the best of times! Will be so sad when it’s gone but am very thankful for time we’ve had!
