Description

Welcome to our Private Shady Backyard Sniffspot – Just Minutes from UNCW! This centrally located Sniffspot features a spacious, fully fenced backyard bursting with natural overgrowth and shady nooks—perfect for curious pups who love to sniff, explore, and roam freely. It’s a peaceful, private space that offers a truly enriching experience for your dog. Access & Parking: To enter, head through the wooden gates and then the chain-link fence. You're welcome to park anywhere in the driveway. What Makes This Spot Special: 🌿 Pesticide- and Fertilizer-Free: We keep our yard completely free of chemicals, making it a safe and natural environment for dogs to explore. 🌳 Plenty of Shade & Vegetation: Ideal for hot days and scent-driven adventures. 💧 Hose Access: Use the hose to cool off, hydrate your pup, or enjoy a little water play—just be sure to turn it off when you're done. 🪑 Porch Seating: Chairs are typically out for your use, but if they’ve been brought in during a storm, feel free to grab them from the screened-in porch. 🦟 Bug Spray Available: Summers can get buggy! I try to keep bug spray on the porch for guests, but you're also welcome to bring your own. 💩 Clean-Up Tools Provided: Please pick up after your pup. A metal waste bin with a lid is located in the yard, and there’s a shovel available if you don’t have bags. We hope you and your pup enjoy the privacy, shade, and sniffing at Overgrown Oasis. Thank you for visiting and helping us keep the space clean and welcoming for all!

My roommate and I share this wonderful house right next to UNCW. We have 1 dog and 2 cats. We love all animals and are happy to share our yard with those that need a private, secluded space with their animal.

Enjoy half an acre of fully fenced-in backyard—plenty of room for your pup to run, sniff, and play safely off-leash. The yard has a private entry, so you can come and go without interruption. A resident dog is inside the home, but will remain indoors during your visit, so the space is all yours to enjoy. Perfect for fetch, training, or just letting your dog explore in a secure, private environment.

Christa's Fully Fenced Yard For Dogs To Rent In Castle Hayne

Fully Fenced

Hi there! My fiance and I just purchased our home in April 2025, and our dogs love having the big yard to run around in, so we figured we'd share it with others too! Being new homeowners, the yard and house are both works in progress. We have a few different projects we are working on right now, including replacing old fencing and creating a memorial garden with a patio for our loved ones in the back corner of the property. Please excuse any clutter while we work on these! We have 2 lab mixes, Bear (13 years) and Goose (6 months). Goose is always ready to play with other dogs (Bear is a tired old man that likes to sleep), so feel free to message me if your pup would like a play date! We understand that some dogs are reactive and will keep ours out of sight and try to prevent any barking to not disturb your visit. Feel free to message me at any point if you need anything or have any requests that will make your visit more enjoyable!
