Description

0.4 acres fully fenced in and private. Have your pup chase a frisbee or ball and run up and down the hill. It’s tiring! 😅 Winter: We have a hill that will challenge and tire your pup up running through the snow! ❄️ Toys, trash, and water bowl are available (no water after hose is winterized) Spring: I will block off days when the yard is too wet, as it takes a while for it to dry after a heavy rainfall or quick snow melt due to the hill. Summer/Late Spring/Early Fall: We have a few chairs 🪑 on the deck and umbrella ☂️ as well as a water bowl 💧 and hose if your pup needs water or to cool off.

Cleanliness

100% of guests said this spot was as clean as expected during their visit.

Hazards

Exercise caution to avoid tripping and falling on uneven rocks, steps, ground, leaves, grasses. Ground may be wet due to recent rainfall, sprinkler use, snow, and other weather conditions. Not all plants are pup or small children safe, please ensure your dog or child does not ingest anything. There may be insects or small wild animals that could sting or bite. Guests assume all risks.

Extras

Doggy pool party$5

Doggy pool and toys to splash around with! A great way to cool off 🌊
