Billie's 5 Acre Unfenced Private Dog Park In Sherman

Unfenced
5 acres

Unfenced 5 acres available to roam with your dog. The front yard is large and spacious it runs up to a white building with a dog mural on the back of it. My road is in front of this building. There is very light traffic from neighbors, sometimes people walk their dogs and occasionally people horseback riding (there is a horse stable down the road from me). My yard is lined with trees on both sides so it’s easy to see property line. The side yard leads to the backyard, which is even larger. It runs up to farmers field. The back is very private.

I have a 5ft fence that is regularly checked for digging/gaps. I am a petsitter on Rover.com as well as private clients so my yard is dog friendly. Feel free to check out reviews there while this gets off the ground. I do have my own dog that will be inside during your time in our yard unless your pup wants a friend. Any petsitting dogs that I have here will also be included with those guidelines as well as long as I have their owners permission also.
