Angus's Yard

0.25 acres

Hi All! My name is Casey. My dog Angus and I own a 1/2 acre lot with 1/4 of it fenced in. I can offer plenty of grass, shade, sun, in ground pool and comfortable place to kick your feet up while your pups run around. Years and years ago, my first dog, was reactive and could not be around other dogs and I had no yard for her to play in - I felt horrible. She deserved a spot to run around and have fun. I know how hard it is to want to provide your pup happiness and not have the needed property avaliable. So, now I'd like to make sure any dog has that option. My yard is chain link in the back and cedar in the front. In the summer dogs are welcome in the pool but please have them use the steps so the liner isn't ripped. I also have a kiddie pool for those who aren't big swimmers. My street does have a lot of dogs on it and people walking so there will be some distractions. For the cold months the pool does have a brand new cover (2024) with an extra tarp covering to protect it from sharp puppy nails. Your dog will be safe playing on top (Angus, my guy, is 70 pounds and often plays with dogs larger than he is right in the middle). There are dog toys (tennis balls, ropes and dog soccer balls scattered around the yard) and fresh water bowls. I do work from home during the week but I'll have the blinds drawn in the back so you'll have your privacy with your fur baby.

Sammy's Playground Wrentham, MA

Come and play in Sammy’s Playground. There’s lots to do. With the entire 0.5-acre backyard fully enclosed by a new and secure chain-link fence (Fall 2022), your pups are free to roam, sniff, fetch and run to their hearts’ delight. And, wow… you are surely going to love watching them go!! Zoom-Zoom. The areas along the perimeter are wooded and make for fun pathways for explorations. The central portion of the yard is sloped and open. This makes for plenty of romping and heavy-duty running- including long throws of a ball or a frisbee. We have a tennis ball thrower. Check out all of the photos and read the accompanying descriptions to get a better idea of how Sammy’s Playground will appeal to you and your furry friends!! And don’t worry about the yard (too much). There’s divots and mounds all around, no manicured lawns when dogs are at play. Go for it guys… Enjoy!! And, the pool cover is elephant and dog proof. The dogs are allowed on the pool cover. It’s our hope that we do our absolute best to provide our Guests with the best experience each time they come over AND that our Guests remain as great as each have been - that we can continue to avoid any reason to raise our hourly rate. SniffSpot suggests we list Sammy’s Playground at $20/hour. We are uncomfortable with doing this, because it goes against the spirit of our objective for Sammy’s Playground in the first place: providing a safe and secure environment for dogs of all kinds to enjoy off-leash “true-dog” experiences with their loving humans. Barking IS allowed. We do welcome donations of dog food, p-pads and medications for the all-dog rescue organization, PAWS New England. PawsNewEngland.com for information about fostering, donating, adopting or other ways to support this amazing group. They save over 1,000 dogs per year. ——- NOTE: to open the gate, simply reach over the top to find the key. Twist/turn the key until it stops. Then, lift the knob on top of the gate and push the gate open… you’re in! The gate automatically closes behind you. Please confirm that it has engaged into the closed position and then turn the key to lock yourself in. DO NOT REMOVE THE KEY. Confirm that you have locked yourself in by seeing the little red dot and not being able to lift the knob. The photos section includes views of the gate, key and lock. MUST: when you leave, lock the gate. Doubly ensure that you have done so by lifting the knob. NOTE: As an “Extra” listed benefit, you may park your vehicle in an area away from the main gate and take advantage of a leisurely stroll down the very-well-kept sidewalks of Park Street and adjoining neighborhoods. We list this as an Extra simply so that we know why we have a car in the driveway, but no humans and dogs in the yard. Selecting this Extra just gives us the heads up. This might be a good way to burn off that last little bit of doggy energy or for some leash training while you’re here. This is time AFTER your booked time of using Sammy’s Playground (not a part of it). We just don’t want you to run off without taking advantage of all the resources available to you for your dog(s).

Christina's Private Dog Park In Avon with water access!

A little over a half acre of unfenced in yard. Our property includes roaring brook that runs through the back - my dogs love swimming there! We also have a public trail that runs through our yard and our neighbors on the street (not really maintained but walkable for sure- we call it bear highway since that’s all we see using it.) We also have a playground available for dogs & kids alike. We also added a covered gazebo for additional seating or shade. We do have a kiddie pool we can fill and leave out as well. We also have a smaller fenced in area in our middle lot where our dogs do not play and do not have access to. There are chairs there to sit if you need and a fire pit! Our property is set back from the road quite a bit. You come down the long driveway and you would park in front of our skeleton where the driveway turns from rock to pavement. You are welcome to pull down as far as you want to the water by the tree line. We have doggie poop bags by the garage and you can throw any trash in the green bin by the road (it’s bear proof so anything is fine!). We hope to host you soon :) Ps: our ‘lovely’ neighbor recently put up a white fence in the lower lot- please do not cross that. You are welcome to walk the path the other way though! ;)

Large two acre fenced yard with room to run and you’ll have full use of the whole yard. You will also have access to a pond for your pup to swim and enjoy although the pond area is beyond the gate and NOT fenced in.

Our backyard is private and has a beautiful view of fields and the pond. The path around the pond can be very wet in spring and after rains so we recommend the humans wearing boots if you plan to walk the pond path. Happy romping!
