Description

(FYI guests. We might have to block out Spring days after rain. Our yard becomes a muddy mess). Let your pooch(es) romp away in our spacious fenced-in backyard. Our late boxer loved it. Enjoy a shady view from comfortable chairs on our deck. We love litter reunions! You're welcome to BYOB and appetizers. Also, while you're in Barrington, visit Bredwell for customized dog meals. https://bredwell.com/

This back yard is fully fenced with driveway guest parking. There is a mix of both sun and shade, and a hose for water. The grass is treated for bugs in the spring and kept short through the summer. No people or dog distractions at my property, so the place is all yours to wander. I absolutely love making this space comfortable for dogs & owners to stretch their legs in peace. Let me know how you enjoy it!!

Hi, my name is Bob and I grew up here with many different dogs over the years. They all loved to run, play and explore the yard as much as I did. I decided to name my spot for my mother, who always brought me to all the pet shops around and the reason for my love of animals. I sincerely hope that you and your dogs will also have as much fun running, playing and exploring the yard as we did!

We’ve got a nice, big 1/3-acre backyard with plenty of room for the dogs to run and play. There are a few trees for shade, and the trampoline, patio, and deck are set up so they don’t take away from the open space. It’s all fenced in with a private entrance — a great spot to relax or enjoy the outdoors.

The Scout 'n River .75 acre Fully Fenced Private Dog Yard In St. Charles

Fully Fenced
1 acre

Welcome to our peaceful 0.75-acre fully fenced Sniffspot, the perfect mix of open space and natural woodland for your dog to safely explore, sniff, and play! Located on a quiet street, this space offers a relaxing, private escape where you and your pup can enjoy some off-leash time surrounded by nature. (Please note, there is no actual river... I named it after my own pups! 😄) 🌳 Features & Perks Fully fenced with a 5-foot wire fence — secure perimeter for dogs of all sizes and energy levels. Completely separate from the house for a truly private experience. Natural, chemical-free lot — we never use pesticides or fertilizers, so your dog can safely enjoy the sights and smells of nature. Shady wooded areas and sunny grassy spaces — perfect for lounging or playing fetch. Two benches available for you to relax while your dog explores. Poop bag station and garbage can conveniently located for easy clean-up. Very private setting — you can’t see other people or pets, and the yard is shielded from the road by thick foliage. (The only time a person may be visible for a short moment is if there is a rare delivery to the house, unfortunately those cannot be planned for but it is at least 50 ft or more from the Sniff Spot). Quiet environment — the only sounds you’ll hear are birds, rustling leaves, and the occasional car turning into the driveway or leaving from the main house. The road noise from the main road is minimal. Easy parking right in front of the spot for quick access. 🐕 Perfect For Dogs who: Need a calm, low-distraction environment Enjoy both open space and wooded exploring Benefit from a private, one-on-one play area This peaceful retreat is ideal for training sessions, decompression walks, or simply enjoying a safe and beautiful natural space together.
