Location

San Rafael, California

Description

Pups of all sizes enjoy this spot. Half acre property, fully fenced and gated, good privacy, lawn, pool, lounge chairs, table and chairs, flower gardens, redwood trees, olive trees, persimmon trees, meditation garden, hummingbirds, and even a red fire hydrant. Optional pool access for people can be purchased as an Extra, by the hour and by the person. The pool is unheated except by the sun/air. We love all dogs and welcome dogs of all shapes and sizes and hair types to visit; however we can only offer pool access for non-shedding pups, as long hair and fur was unfortunately causing damage to the pool equipment; If you are booking for more than one non-shedding dog swimming or for longer than an hour, please message us with info about your dog(s) and we will create an extra for you for the number of dogs you have swimming. Most visitors find the lawn size ample for running around and throwing a ball a bit, but if you are looking for a field to throw a tennis ball as far as you possibly can with a Chuck-it, the yard is not really the right size and shape for that, sorry! Hours right now are 7:00am to 7:30pm. If you are booking prior to 8:30am, please book no later than 9:00pm the night before, so that we see the booking before we go to bed. Thanks, and we look forward to your visit!

Additional rules

Welcome and enjoy! Please no smoking or alcohol. Please clean up and leave the area as you found it. Please double-bag your poos before placing in the trash can--this helps reduce odors in the trash can area (bags are available for your use.) Please no swimming or wading unless purchased as an Extra. Please bring your own towels. No glass on the property, and especially not in the pool area, please. No more than 6 people visiting at a time. I'm sorry, we don't allow kids under 9 for liability reasons. Swimming for people can be booked as an Extra, by the person, by the hour. Swimming for non-shedding dogs can also be purchased as an extra. Please brush out your dog before coming if they are going in the pool. For the moment we are not taking bookings for dog swimming for shedding dogs, due to issues with dog hair in the pool equipment. Thanks and enjoy.

Fully Fenced, Peaceful, Beautiful Dog Park

Fully Fenced

4 acres

A beautiful fenced-in 3+ acre parcel with hills, a few trees, areas of short and tall grass. Dogs absolutely love it here. Occasionally we’ll see wild turkeys and a few deer (and a gopher or squirrel here and there) but otherwise a dog roaming paradise. Easy to pull in and park (near the empty barn) and there are several shady spots around property. I have dog bowls, a few toys, emergency poop bags, and a washing station. Cell reception is fine here.
