35 year old female. Lover of all dogs, have a 3 year old dog named Olive and another resident dog named Carly (roommate's dog). I volunteer with a dog rescue and often foster dogs. I bought my house with having a fenced yard for my dog at the top of my must have list. I’ve been lucky to have such a great outdoor space for my girl to run and play and watch the squirrels and birds. I’ve replaced over 75% of the fence since 2019 so it’s is safe and secure.

Welcome to our backyard! We know how valuable new experiences are for dogs and how being off leash to run, sniff, and play is good for dogs' physical and mental well being - and ours, too! Our privacy fencing and large yard allows you and your dog to have a safe place away from unfamiliar people / other dogs*. It's great for getting your dog some different sniffs and letting them off leash for a game of fetch! *Our neighbor does have a dog who may be outside during your visit. The neighbor's dog is friendly and absolutely cannot get into our yard. Your dog will be 100% safe, but please know that if the neighbor's dog is outside during your visit, she may try to stick a little bit of her snout underneath any of the small openings along the fence line.
