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

Kefy Dog Park
We are a dog loving home located on a large lot right off the Illinois Prairie Path in Lombard! Perfect spot for owners who already walk their companions on the path to stop and have some playtime or extra training time. (We just ask you make reservations before planning your visit) Join our Facebook Group ‘Kefy Dog Park’ to find Yard Updates & how other friends are enjoying our spot! https://www.facebook.com/share/ix7uGd3kp5R6DqxA/?mibextid=K35XfP We have a Newfoundland who will be inside during visits & chickens who will be in their coop/chicken run. Our favorite times of year to see our Newfie play outside are winter (he loves to catch snowballs, chase our kids and then lay in the cold snow)…and the summer when he lays in the cool grass and plops himself down in the kiddie pool. We hope your doggies will love to enjoy our yard just as much!

Sandy's Canine Corner Fully Fenced Yard For Dogs To Rent In Prospect Heights
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!

4 Acres In Sycamore
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.

Take a dip in the creek! Beautiful secluded acreage with mature trees
Beautiful secluded property with a creek running through it. The backyard is about 1 acre with a big open field surrounded by large mature trees and a creek bordering the back side. Dogs must be trained not to run off as we do not have a fence. Old fence posts show the property lines. You can to take a dip in the creek with your dog to cool off on hot days. The water does flow so I wouldn't recommend it for really small dogs. The water is fairly shallow but can get high and flow fast after heavy rain. You will have to walk down a small hill to enter the creek. The weeds get high by the water but I have made 2 separate paths to enter the creek. Entering the creek is at your own risk. The creek is on the property line so the land across the creek is not part of the property so please do not go across the creek. If you do plan on going in the creek I recommend water shoes and a towel, it can get muddy by the water. And it can also get buggy, so you might want to bring bug spray as well. Feel free to move any of the chairs from the firepit to anywhere around the yard but put back when finished. Please clean up after your pup, garbage can is the green one by the garage. You can park on the left side of driveway by the RV and enter on the left side of the garage.

Enrichment Oasis- Fully Fenced
Eliza & Everett want to share their enrichment oasis with anyone who needs it. Eliza is an American Bully who has anxiety that contributes to her reactivity and has worked really hard with confidence building through climbing, digging, and finding what activities are enriching to her. She recently got a little GSP brother who moon lights as a speed racer & excavator. Their 6 foot fence was recently put in and it is now safe space to share with others. Being a Reactive Dog Mom is my whole personality and I am excited to let others have access to a space to explore. All equipment is dog friendly. Just use caution for your dogs safety with the heights and experience of your dog.
