Location

West Chicago, Illinois

Description

We just moved so we recommend that you only book us if you have dogs good with recall and off leash. 2.5 acres is a lot to chase a dog that doesn't recall. Additionally, we do have coyotes in the area, so little dogs may want to wait until we get our smaller dog run installed. Please no diggers as we don't want to worry about them creating openings for coyotes. We do have some sitting water/pond in back. Be careful with dogs that like to explore. We cannot guarantee they won't want to dive in and it's not clean yet. We just moved in and the property may have other things to be concerned about but from what we can tell, our dogs love it and the only other thing we have found is one of those burs in their coat on occasion- likely from the pond area. We will continuously update this to be a very friendly dog space. More to come as the weather warms!! Parking: You may park on the outside or inside of the gate. The right side of the gate pushes open (it's on a wheel). We will be getting an automatic gate soon. You're welcome to pull in and drive straight to the back of the property and park anywhere except on the gravel/slab closest to house. (There are septic tanks under there). You can park on the grass. It will be easier to exit if you park in the back but you can also park out front of the garage! Please close gate behind you to ensure your dog is fully fenced in and coyotes are fenced out! Message with any questions! SOON we will have a dog friendly air bnb that will offer you access to indoor plumbing and snacks! :) You may sit by the shed under the roof where the patio is to relax. A fully furnished poop station, first aid kit, toys and treats can be found there along with sanitizer and water.

Cleanliness

100% of guests said this spot was as clean as expected during their visit.

Hazards

The land used to be a BMX bike track. It is hilly/bumpy and uneven. Better for dogs who hike. There is some type of pond in the back. It's not clean. I don't know what's in it and could be a hazard. Water collects in the uneven parts of the land. There is wildlife- hawks, owls, & coyotes are common. Larger dogs that don't jump the fence and don't dig are preferred. Diggers create holes for coyotes. Don't recommend little dogs at this time unless you want to use our 30'x30' 6' tall chain link enclosed fence (photos to come). It's 1/2 gravel 1/2 grass and not quite beautiful yet. We do have a few chairs in the enclosure. There is a freight train track behind the house.

Hiya! Originally from Hawai'i, lived in Illinois over 20 years and currently reside in the suburb of West Chicago near Wheaton. I have been dog sitting for over 3 decades. We have 2.5 fenced acres of freedom! The backyard used to be a BMX bike track so it has hills and uneven terrain- great for dogs that like hiking and exercise. Soon we will have a 30'x30' smaller area for littles to roam freely. We are always adding to the space and plan to make this a dog friendly property with lots of engaging things as we settle in. We moved here 12/2024.
