Description

Almost a half an acre completely fenced-in yard (to the ground so even 5-lb dogs can’t escape) in a quiet neighborhood near 23 and Mound. Grass is kept short and natural. Never any poisonous pesticides or fertilizer used. All Natural! Seating and doggie pool available (request pool is emptied before leaving and not filled more than half or you can’t tip over to empty). No dogs in surrounding yards. Great for big and small dogs! Lots of trees and shrubbery to give you a private oasis. Please close the gate when leaving. Note: I bought my house with a large after one of my dogs was attacked at a dog park causing 2 surgeries and very expensive vet bills. Enjoy my yard with piece of mind.

Hazards

HOST NOTE

Just be careful if you see any mushrooms pop up. I typically try to pull them out cause I don’t want my dogs eating them either.

Hi! I wanted to try this and allow people to use my nice natural yard. I love seeing dogs so happy as they run and play in a fully-fenced safe yard free of pesticides. They are so happy … and when dogs are happy, I am happy. I bought a small house with a nice yard after one of my dogs was attacked at a dog park for playing fetch and had her side ripped open which needed 2 surgeries. After that I was done with dog parks and bought a big yard.

My backyard is a half-acre haven that's perfect for both wildlife and pets. With plenty of space to roam, it’s a paradise for dogs, offering endless opportunities for play and exploration. The area is bustling with life, as squirrels dart up trees and across the yard, adding a lively charm to the serene space. Whether you're tossing a ball for your dogs or simply enjoying the natural surroundings, I hope you have a great time! If you would like a coffee just let me know, I usually have a pot brewing ☕
