Additional rules

Please be respectful of the property and keep doggies off of the deck in the back - there are baby gates at the foot of the deck stairs that have been working just fine to keep dogs on the lower level. There are lots of sitting areas in the back for everyone to enjoy including a chair hammock in the lower part of the yard, a two person hammock in the upper part and multiple chairs with clean cushions throughout. I keep most sitting spots covered but please feel free to remove the covers and replace them before you leave. The yard is full of "yard art" but it can't really be hurt - just be mindful when walking around. Doggie poop bags are provided by the “gazebo” in the yellow mailbox as well as hand sanitizer. Water is on the path near the house as you come in - feel free to add fresh water - the hose is connected at the side of the house behind the bushes.

I am currently without a dog so I thought, why not share it with my friends and neighbors?!? My yard is fully fenced and and safe for dogs to romp + ramble freely off leash. Supervision is preferred.

We have an amazing large backyard with a large deck. The deck can be blocked off with dog gates so you can just enjoy the yard. We have a dachshund but he had an accident and is paralyzed now so we don’t spend as much time in the yard as we used to. Please pick up your dogs poop if they use the bathroom in the yard.

Large Private Fully-Fenced Yard – Shaded, Skyline Views (Oakhurst/Cotswold)

Fully Fenced
0.5 acres

Large private backyard in 28205 — a spacious in-city yard with mature oak trees providing shade across nearly half the property and open skyline views of downtown Charlotte. With no homes behind the property and one neighboring house currently unoccupied, the yard feels surprisingly open and private despite being close to the city. Ideal for: • Dogs that need room to sprint • Owners looking for private off-leash space • Apartment or small-yard dogs needing extra room Features: • 6’ privacy fencing around the majority of the yard • 4’ fence section along the driveway (not recommended for known escape artists or high jumpers) • Flat, well-maintained grass • Large shaded areas from mature oak trees • No rear neighbors + skyline view • Simple, low-touch access Please Note: • Property is located near an active rail line. Trains pass intermittently every few hours and the whistle can be loud. Most dogs are unbothered, but noise-sensitive dogs may want to consider before booking. • Property includes a rope swing. Use at your own risk. • Dogs must be supervised at all times and waste must be removed. • Please ensure the gate is securely closed when entering and exiting. Spacious. Private. In the city.

Hello! I'm Patrick. All dogs are welcome to my private dog park! There is shade near the edges of the yard by the trees. Comfortable areas for you to relax while your dog plays. The water hose is next to the A/C unit. Feel free to use the outdoor amenities. We have some bug spray, etc. for your use. You can park up front on the U-shape driveway. Please enter the park through the gate to the right, next to the column. Please do not park in front of my parked vehicles, as I might have to come and go. Thank you!

The Ponderosa 4 Acre Fully Fenced Private Dog Park

Fully Fenced
4 acres

**UPDATE** We have made the difficult decision to sell The Ponderosa. We will continue offering Sniffspots until the change in ownership on 2/12/26. THE NEW OWNERS PLAN TO OFFER A SNIFFSPOT!!! We can’t transfer this spot to them, so we will update you here as we know more!! *************************** Wide open for dogs that need to run. Our guests have highlighted that they appreciate that they have easy visibility to keep eyes on their dog. The pasture was originally used for goats so there are lots of interesting smells. Picnic table and outdoor furniture for humans or dogs underneath shade trees. Climbing structure. Currently we have had to shut off the well due to a leak. The buckets will have water in them. Trash and poop bags available. Entrance is 80 yards away from residence. Minutes from 485/Lawyers Rd - easy to find, easy to get to!

Dog Paradise in Northwest Charlotte

Fully Fenced
2 acres

**The pool is closed for the season.** Welcome! We have a fun property your dogs will love! We have a 2 acre property, which includes approximately a half acre fenced area, a 1 acre unfenced area, and a separately fenced inground pool area. Only dogs are allowed in the swimming pool (unless you're actively helping or playing with them). Two creeks outline our property and dogs are welcome anywhere on the property. We tend to keep the grass in the back of the property a bit longer to support the bees, but it also makes for lots more sniffing for the pups! If you're using the unfenced portion of the yard, dogs must be on leash. We have dogs of our own, but we will keep them secure in the house when you're using the property so you'll have the whole yard and pool to yourself. Please see the amenities and access instructions portions of our profile for more information! We bought our property specifically for our own dogs to enjoy, so we know yours will love it too. We look forward to having you!
