Elgin, Illinois

Description

Our spot is on a large corner lot on a dead-end street in a quiet, secluded neighborhood. We have one nextdoor neighbor who has no pets, and we have large privacy trees between us. The yard is shaded with established trees, and roughly three quarters of an acre are fenced in with a ranch style wooden fence (the lowest rung is 6 inches above the ground, so our spot is not suitable for tiny dogs who might want to run underneath). The yard is not close to the road, but people occasionally walk by and are visible. We have lots of squirrels and chipmunks to chase. It's a great spot for reactive dogs who need to run or nap in a sun-dappled space and don't do well at a traditional social dog park. We have a large vegetable garden and do not use pesticides in the yard to protect our pollinator friends. Our cozy deck is available with comfortable seating, tables, and wifi. I work from home and am often around if you happen to need anything. We do have a rescued 7 year old pup on the premises, but he will stay inside and away from windows. Come on in and make yourselves at home!

At our house, we do our best to treat creatures on this earth with kindness and gentleness. We are big believers in adopting pets, and have a soft spot in our hearts for anxious pups, reactive pups, and pups with baggage. They are the ones who need a little space for peace and quiet the most--and their owners are the ones who could use a comfy spot to just be outside with their pals without the stress of triggers! We support Players for Pits and love foster programs. Other things we love to do in our yard include growing food, swinging, staring at clouds, and sipping coffee on the deck or wine around the chimenea.

I have a fully fenced in yard with grass and some trees in the back. There is also a sunroom for both dogs and humans to enjoy for shade. There are dog beds, a ceiling fan, and a table and chairs. There is also a swingset for kids and more toys in the sun room. I have agility equipment (jumps and weave poles) I can put out on request.

Enrichment Oasis- Fully Fenced

Fully Fenced

0.11 acres

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.

4 Acres In Sycamore

Partially Fenced

4 acres

Hi! Welcome to our Sniffspot! 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.

Kiley's Fully Fenced Yard For Dogs To Rent In St. Charles

Fully Fenced

0.06 acres

Fully fenced yard with +6ft fencing. No gaps in beteeen the fence so it is totally cut off from any sight into other yards. There is one small dog that very rarely is outside but it’s never for long. And we have wood panels pushed up under the fence so there’s no way for any dogs that are in my yard to see it be near anybody’s in surrounding yards. I also have two kiddie pools (one for small breed) and one 71inch pool for any large breed dogs that would like to go in the water to play. I have plenty of toys and balls to keep them busy and a doggy bed covered outside. I myself have a reactive dog so I am well aware of the protocol for them. My dog would be with me out away in my room so there would be no chance of your dog seeing or hearing mine. My backyard is VERY well shaded as we have tonssss of trees out back to provide shade and chairs for anyone who wants to sit. It truly is the perfect yard for all your reactive dogs needs and I hope you enjoy it as much as we do!! **I’ll also be including more pictures of the backyard in the next few hours to give a better look into it**
