Description

FYI- The pool is available through September 18 as an add on under “Extras”. Due to cold nights and cool days we will not be heating the pool due to the high cost of propane and electricity. The pool should be in the low to mid 70’s, warm enough for your pup(s). Fully fenced, secure and private acre of doggy heaven located on a cul de sac. Large grass yard, mulch, and wooded area on each side of the yard will keep your dog busy sniffing and exploring. The ground is cleared in the wooded areas for fun running and walks. Large blue stone shaded patio that backs up to woods. The large in ground pool is uncovered and ready to swim for an additional charge (see below”Extras”). The fencing between the yard and pool is not 100% secure, just keep an eye on your pups. All people and pets will be inside during your visit for privacy. There are poop bags, a bowl of water and a basket of toys for you and your pup if you wish. Whether you want to sit in the shade or play in the sun, there are multiple seating areas. Driveway and Street parking with easy access to the spot. The pool is an additional charge and will be open through September 18th.

We love dogs and have 4 ourselves, either rescues or foster fails. We understand the need for dogs to have a place to run that is private and secure. Since my own dogs aren't outside on my place all the time I thought it would be nice to open it up so others could enjoy the space and safety. The perimeter fencing was carefully put up to keep my own dogs safe and secure. It provides such a peaceful and safe environment. I love sharing my property with other pup parents and it has been a joy to hear from so many guests who have made special memories with their furry family members while visiting my sniffspot

Dislike dog parks like me? Fully fenced in yard with a bit of woods in the back, doggy splash pad for the hot days, shade and table for the humans, water and toys for the dogs. I have a dog grooming blow dryer and small agility course you can ask about. A lot of room to run! Very peaceful. I'm a huge dog lover, Air Force veteran and certified dog trainer. Come on down for some safe, fun and private puppy play time!
