55I shared how our dog is very shy and fearful and Sidney accommodated us nicely by putting her dog in a separate room while we were outside. She gave us a speaker to play music which was a nice touch. The backyard had enough space for us to play fetch and it had an umbrella which was great for our pup to cool off. Only thing to note is one of the neighboring apartments has a dog that was barking at us through the window but we weren’t phased by it! Mari S.

55We had the best time at Luisa's Private Dog Yard! The space was nice and clean so we didn't have to worry about our dog running around and exploring, there were some chairs and a tree for some shade which was lovely for us, and there was plenty of space for us to toss a ball around. Thank you so much, Luisa, we'll definitely be back!Brandi B.

55I booked very last min and they did not have time to mow, but Luisa offered to refund me. It was very sweet considering my dog still had a great time and the yard was not crazy overgrown. Great space and very shady. My dog enjoyed it and I myself enjoyed hanging in the shade and reading. It is very isolated in the back so he was not distracted or stressed by other dogs walking on the street. Very convenient location for me and I’ll for sure be back. Sarah G.

55Luisa was very communicative, and the yard was so nice and peaceful! She confirmed in advanced when the yard was mowed, and even left us some bug spray as recent rain has mean a few extra mosquitos. Lots of room for my dog to run around! It was so peaceful with no other dogs around and hardly anyone walking by, and my dog eventually just laid down and sniffed the air. For a city dog who rarely gets true off-leash time, this was just incredible. And I had a great time, too! Would highly recommend Luisa’s yard and will definitely be back :)Violet S.

55We loved this spot! It’s close to the city and very quiet. We didn’t see any other dogs or people. A great place for my anxious pup to decompress! Laura N.

55We just visited for the second time and our dog Doc had the most wonderful time. The spot was nice and clean and the grass was trimmed, so we were able to let him run around freely without worrying. Thank you so much, Luisa, it's so awesome to be able to let him enjoy time outside off leash!Brandi B.
