Description

We just moved to the area, so we recommend that you only book us if you have dogs good with recall and off leash. 2.5 acres is a lot to chase a dog that doesn't recall. Additionally, we do have coyotes in the area so little dogs are not ideal. I'm told they are timid and fearful of humans, but it' not worth the risk. Please no diggers as we don't want to worry about them creating openings for coyotes. We do have some sitting water/pond in back. Water can collect in other divots in the ground (used to be a BMX bike track). Be careful with dogs that like to explore as they may want to dive in and it's not clean yet. We just moved in and the property may have other things to be concerned about but from what we can tell, our dogs love it and the only other thing we have found is one of those burs in their coat if they run along the fence on the side of the property (left side if you're looking t the train in back). We will continuously update this to be a very friendly dog space. More to come as the weather warms!! Parking: You may park on the outside or inside of the gate. The right side of the gate pushes open (it's on a wheel). We will be getting an automatic gate soon. You're welcome to pull in and drive straight to the back of the property and park anywhere except on the gravel/slab closest to house. (There are septic tanks under there). You can park on the grass. It will be easier to exit if you park in the back but you can also park out front of the garage! Please close gate behind you to ensure your dog is fully fenced in and coyotes are fenced out! Message with any questions! SOON we will have a dog friendly air bnb that will offer you access to indoor plumbing and snacks! :) You may sit by the shed that has the outdoor patio to relax. You can pull chairs around the side if you like for a better view of your pup. A fully furnished poop station, first aid kit, toys and treats can be found there along with sanitizer and water for humans.

Cleanliness

100% of guests said this spot was as clean as expected during their visit.

Hazards

The land used to be a BMX bike track. It is hilly/bumpy and uneven. Better for dogs who hike. There is some type of pond in the back. It's not clean. I don't know what's in it and could be a hazard. Water collects in the uneven parts of the land. There is wildlife- hawks, owls, & coyotes are common. Larger dogs that don't jump the fence and don't dig are preferred. Diggers create holes for coyotes. Don't recommend little dogs at this time unless you want to use our 30'x30' 6' tall chain link enclosed fence (photos to come). It's 1/2 gravel 1/2 grass and not quite beautiful yet. We do have a few chairs in the enclosure. There is a freight train track behind the house.

Additional rules

Respectfully, you're a stranger coming to our home. Please make sure you have a profile photo of you. If you do not have one, we will cancel your reservation. If you arrive and are not the person in the photo, we will refuse access to the space. This is a safety and security issue. Please close front driveway gate behind you to keep the yard fully fenced for your pup and to keep wildlife out. Recommend using the chain on windy days as that front gate can blow open and/or closing the interior ranch gates along the walking path to the house and next to the garage.

Hiya! Originally from Hawai'i, lived in Illinois over 20 years and currently reside in the suburb of West Chicago near Wheaton. I have been dog sitting for over 3 decades. We have 2.5 fenced acres of freedom! The backyard used to be a BMX bike track so it has hills and uneven terrain- great for dogs that like hiking and exercise. Soon we will have a 30'x30' smaller area for littles to roam freely. We are always adding to the space and plan to make this a dog friendly property with lots of engaging things as we settle in. We moved here 12/2024.

Our spacious backyard is ideal for dogs that need to run run run! We have a 5 foot fence and will add more amenities if we get enough guests. We have 2 Bernese mountain dogs that play well with others if you want them to join you! They will be inside the house and may be seen and heard by your dog(s). There are also chickens next door but the fence keeps them on their side. They will be seen and heard.

We are a dog loving home located on a large lot right off the Illinois Prairie Path in Lombard! Perfect spot for owners who already walk their companions on the path to stop and have some playtime or extra training time. (We just ask you make reservations before planning your visit) Join our Facebook Group ‘Kefy Dog Park’ to find Yard Updates & how other friends are enjoying our spot! https://www.facebook.com/share/ix7uGd3kp5R6DqxA/?mibextid=K35XfP We have a Newfoundland who will be inside during visits & chickens who will be in their coop/chicken run. Our favorite times of year to see our Newfie play outside are winter (he loves to catch snowballs, chase our kids and then lay in the cold snow)…and the summer when he lays in the cool grass and plops himself down in the kiddie pool. We hope your doggies will love to enjoy our yard just as much!
