Hi! Welcome to our Sniffspot! The grass is very short right now, just mowed it (Monday night update) With it becoming cooler out - I am going to leave the pool empty but available in the barn, please feel free to fill it up. The well has a hose on it, just lift the handle to let the water on & down again to turn it off. 😊 There are no farm animals here currently and this is a pasture that is now cleaned up and ready for our pups to play in. You can bring chairs, set a fire in the fire pit. * Short grass / tall grass areas / hill in the very back * Fenced but CATTLE fencing so great for larger dogs & dogs with GOOD recall * Wear your cowboy boots and explore the property! * Farm area is separate from our immediate yard up by our house so you have your own space.

Erin's Fully Fenced Yard For Dogs To Rent In Rockford

Katie's 0.5 Acre Fully Fenced Private Dog Park In Rockton

99% of the backyard fencing is 5-6’ tall. The gate you will enter and exit through is the only area that is 4’ tall. TONS of mature trees providing plenty of shade and a thicker tree line in the very back where your pup can sniff and explore! Lots of open lawn area to play and/or train. I will stay inside unless you would rather I come out and meet you and your pup. We have water bowls filled and a hose right there if you need more water. Patio has multiple patio tables and chairs if you want to chill while your pup plays. I have water, kool aid, maybe Gatorade available, just ask! I only require about 15 minutes heads up so I can make sure my dogs are put up and inside so you can enjoy the backyard alone with your dog. If your dog needs another dog friend to play with we do have several here who are extremely dog friendly and love to play ranging in size from a rat terrier up to a super sweet and friendly Doberman. But they have no problem staying inside too. We aim to please so just let me know what you may need!

~Peaceful Country Getaway~

Super peaceful, quiet. Lovely place to let big or small dogs run. The spot is rural but feel free to have the dogs run about the 5 acre property. Explore the old barn. But warning! There may be an occasional critter! It’s not often but maybe once or twice a year our own dogs see something (or think they do). The scenery is beautiful. The traffic is low and is on a quiet country road (not on a highway). Before my mom passed, we always had her dogs out to run, so we appreciate being able to share with others. Any trash can be thrown in the big trash can put front. Lawn chairs available too. Small kiddie pool with a water pump for the pool or just a water bowl.
