55Such a great visit to Jordan’s oasis! The boys had the best time running around and sniffing everything. We requested the doggy pool which was a huge hit! She also had dog treats, no-rinse shampoo, a towel, and doggy water available! Will definitely be back :) Ali P.

55We loved this yard! My foster dog was very into all the smells and textures. Other dogs could be heard towards the end of our visit (from neighboring yards/streets), but it’s hard to control that. It was a great spot, with several amenities (lots of seating, dog water, poop bags, treats, etc). We will definitely be back!Brandi W.

55Thank you for welcoming a shelter dog into your yard for a few hours away from the shelter. He loved it! You had all the smells and he loved chasing the ball and splashing in the water.Emily H.

55This is fun spot that’s pretty central and easy to get to. My dog had a blast! The only thing was the neighbors’ dogs rushed to the fence and barked for a little bit. I was easily able to redirect my dog, but just to keep in mind if that’s something that would be hard for your dog! Numa D.

55Super great space. Fencing is very secure and it is bigger than some dog parks I’ve been to. I am glad toys and water were both provided.
Be warned the mosquitoes come out after dark but no worse than anywhere else in Austin. Daniel K.

55Great spot! We are here from Florida and our airbnb yard has an unreliable fence. This was exactly what our 2 standard Poodles and Goldendoodle pups needed to burn off some of their energy.Melissa S.

Jordan was kind enough to let me use her wifi for a bit of work, and then I spent the rest of the peaceful hour watching my pup have so much fun zoomin and sniffin. Definitely check this spot out!Jordan T.

Nicole was very thoughtful and put out a fresh bowl of water for the boys before we got there. And they definitely needed it because they took advantage of the space and played and ran the majority of the time. We will definitely be back.Marc S.
