Dan's Fully Fenced Yard For Dogs To Rent In Essex

Relax and Play in Springfield, VA

This yard has always been a special place for our family. Our dog loved racing through the grass here, full of energy and joy. After saying goodbye, my wife and I wanted to open the space to other dogs so they could enjoy it just as much as he did. Our large, fully fenced yard offers plenty of room to run, sniff, and explore safely. The 7-foot wooden fence keeps everything secure, perfect for off-leash play or reactive pups who need a little extra space. The yard features lush grass with mulch beds beneath mature trees, giving your dog both open sunshine and cool shade to enjoy. There’s a seating area with table and chairs, balls for playtime, and access to a hose and electrical outlet for your convenience. Off-street parking makes arrival easy and stress-free. Set in a quiet suburban neighborhood, just a short drive from Alexandria, Arlington and Washington DC. This is a peaceful spot to unwind, train, be off-leash and let your dog be a dog. We hope your pup feels right at home here. In the fall the yard gets covered in leaves. I do my best to keep them tidy, but they seem to have their own plans. Our dog used to love racing through the piles, and most pups enjoy the extra smells and crunch — hopefully yours does too.

Fallon's Farm 2 Acre Partially Fenced Private Dog Park In Greensboro

Fallon's Farm is located on a dirt road in Greensboro MD. The entire property is 3.5 acres, but due to old outbuildings and pending renovations, I ask that the back yard is not explored. There is a fenced area that is used as a play area for my children. Your children are welcome to play along with your doggo. The unfenced area is an open side yard where you may spot a rabbit or two depending on the time of year. I use this area to play fetch with my dog and race with my kids. You are welcome to park your car and explore! The dirt road is wonderful for a long walk and rarely has traffic (besides a tractor or two). In the warmer months, we have a sprinkler and/or water hose you may use. There are chairs, a picnic table, and I will be certain to set a bowl of water outside for your pet friend.
