We had such an amazing time here! Richard and Rosie are excellent, considerate hosts. The property is stunning, and our pup had the time of her life! Thank you so much for sharing your lovely backyard with us!

Richard & Rosie are great, they came out to meet us and show us around their backyard. They even offered my mom a blanket on the cold afternoon while she watched her grand-dog play. The yard has a lot of nooks and crannies, so lots of things to sniff. My Rudy found it very interesting. His favorite game is hide and seek, so it was perfect for that.

Great spot! We had a fabulous time. The space is lovely, perfect for running around, and Richard is so accommodating!

Our dog loved this spot! It has many levels and different areas to explore and play, including inclines and flat spaces. Hosts also provide water and toys.

Absolutely loved the time we spent in Richard’s backyard. Fun toys, multiple levels, and a nice little lawn space for the dog and my boys to run around like crazy people. We will be back!

We had a great time at Richard's place! He gave us a quick tour of the yard and we appreciated the water bowl, easy access to the outdoor faucet, and toys he had for us to use. Izzy was thrilled to meet a new friend and Richard seemed just as happy to meet her...he's definitely a dog lover! Izzy tired herself out with zoomie circuits of the entire yard and enjoyed sniffing her way around the different levels. We did some recall practice on the lawn, tug, and hide-and-seek. Then we enjoyed the sitting area while Izzy hung out in the woodsy area watching squirrels beyond the fence and kids playing outside the apartments across the creek. The fencing is very secure so we had no need to worry when Izzy was out of view. We will definitely be back!

Richard’s yard was absolutely fantastic for my little Frenchy. I can’t imagine how beautiful it is in the spring and summer because his landscaping is just gorgeous. We will definitely definitely be back.

Great space with plenty of room to run and friendly hosts! My two Aussies had a blast running around and chasing all of the balls and toys

Eliza D.

February 2024

Richard greeted me upon arrival and gave me a tour of the yard so I knew the lay of the land! He had some toys and balls ready to go, as well as a bowl and water. My dog had a great time sprinting around - there's lots of space and good enrichment via a mix of leafy woodsy area, a set of stone tiers to jump up and run along, and the space around the house and immediate backyard. It is in a very quiet area, and parking was a breeze (Richard has you park right in the driveway). My dog and I are excited to come again in the future!

Ashley M.

February 2024

Richard’s spot is amazing! The yard is big, fully fenced, and has different levels for play and different terrain. He walked us thorough the whole layout and put out toys, water and chairs. We had a great time chatting with Richard and our pup Clio had the time of her life running laps and throwing around the toys. Highly recommend this spot and we will definitely be back!

Lauren F.

Always a wonderful time at this lovely home and backyard. Ellie especially enjoyed digging in the dirt in the woodsy area at the very back and working on her multi tiered jumps!

Robert M.

Richard's dog park is fantastic! Plenty of places for our dog to run around, varied terrain, and also a bunch of toys that are ready to use. Richard was a gracious host and even came out to meet us personally. We'll definitely be back!

Absolutely wonderful experience! The space is beautifully maintained, very secure, and there are so so many different spots and sections to sniff! Richard was very kind and met us out front when we arrived to show us the space. We will definitely be back again soon!!

The host Richard, was very friendly and kind. The yard was fully fenced in and had many different levels and ground coverings. I highly recommend Richards Dog Park. My dogs loved it and we will definitely be back.

Cindy W.

April 2024

Both of them were extremely kind and welcoming. They greeted us when we first arrived and showed us around. Our dogs had a wonderful time! It was a lot of space for two dogs and there were lots of toys for them to play with. We arrived 20 minutes late, and Richie was kind enough to let us stay a little extra. Highly recommend this spot, would definitely come back!
