Location

Ames, Iowa

Description

We have a decent sized fully fenced-in yard with a few mature trees. Access to the yard will be provided via a side gate entrance. Note: The neighbors west of us do have two dogs that may bark or run near the fence when outside at the same time. At this time, my only major request is to keep your dogs from digging holes in the yard, since we do enjoy a nice grassy yard in the summer.

I am a dog lover, dog mom, and a veterinary student! My husband and I do own a reactive dog, Bubba, but he is a lucky boy and gets to spend his winters in Arizona. I remain here, in Ames, throughout the year due to my classes, and I feel that our wonderful fenced-in backyard could be put to better use! Please reach out to me for any questions. I do prefer that we meet face-to-face for our first booking, but can be flexible with your dogs needs. Feel free to reach out with any questions!

Puppers Pollinator Path and Prairie Sanctuary with Dig Zone in Elkhart

Fully Fenced

2 acres

We have a Pollinator Path and Prairie Sanctuary with Sensory Fun including a Dig Zone for your puppers. We have a fenced in Backyard for you and your puppers enjoyment. The backyard is around 6900 square feet of off leash fun. We have additional attractions coming as the summer progresses. The Pollinator Path is close to .5 miles in 2 acres. It is a mowed path and your dogs are welcome to be on long lead throughout the area. There is wildlife and infrequently a domesticated animal neighbor that might try to join you. Safety is key. I will have long leashes available to borrow! As in any prairie and pollinator area, there may be thorns, raspberries and poison ivy off the path. In the backyard there is plenty of shaded seating on the patio so you can relax while zoomies, sniffs and yayas are being fulfilled. Pookie and Belvedere (as well as their humans) may be in the house when your dogs are here. But, they will keep all their 4-legged fun inside so your dog (or dogs) can enjoy the space.

Beautiful Clover Meadows 14 Acre Private Dog Park

Partially Fenced

14 acres

This is a beautiful timbered meadow Spot that's just a little ways out in the Iowa countryside but it's worth the drive. It's 13+ acres with easy access for the pet owners to drive into the area or walk along the trails. We have mowed trails throughout the clover meadows so it's easy walking. You'll enjoy the open clover meadows and huge oak trees for shaded areas. There is a secluded spot that's mowed and level with a picnic table,a fire pit and park benches, so you can have a nice private picnic down in the timbered meadow when you can book enough time to really enjoy the experience. There is a nice clean pond for your dogs to wade or swim in. With more shade around the pond. Your dogs will enjoy the dog and hiking trails around the pond and throughout the fenced meadows.
