Very nice medium sized yard, great communication, water was made available, and a few balls too! Solid fence all around, sunny space with just enough shade to cool down. Thanks for having us!

Such a beautiful backyard! Lots of space to run and play. My boy is pretty lazy and doesn’t like to play with toys outside🙃 but he had a blast getting to smell all of the smells. Super hot day so he throughly enjoyed the kiddie pool! The host offered everything you can think of for my fur baby; waste bags, a trash can, toys of ALL kinds, a water bowl, and a kiddie pool. Very nice shaded area for me to sit as well. Beyond thankful to have found them. I have one tired pup. 😊

We really liked this spot and picked it specifically because it was listed as no dogs seen or heard, having a reactive dog this is imperative. We enjoyed our time here and will be back. Just wish there was a heads up about the dog next-door, he was outside and barking for about the last 10 minutes of our session. The fence was secure and the space was great. We brought our own water, poop bags and toys, but the host had all those available as needed.

Extremely professional when exchanging messages and information through the website. Yard was very clean and my boy couldn’t have been happier. Will definitely be returning soon!

Pennys place was the perfect spot for our girl to run free. The spacious yard, made us pup parents so happy to see her just be a dog! There was clear communication and easy directions, followed by a TON of chewy balls to play fetch! There were some puppers next door but I assure you the gate is secure and there was plenty of space to play instead of bark. We will love to book for our girl in the future!

As usual, a great time for my dogs and me. This is the most spacious place I have visited in Norfolk, and it gives my dogs and me a good workout. Thank you, Anne!

Excellent place to let my two pups run freely, and very close to my residence! Spacious, lots of Chuck-It balls to use, tall fence (Maybe 8 ft? My reactive dog can jump a 5 ft fence, unfortunately...)and secure top to bottom all the way around. Hope to visit again!

Well kept and clean sniffspot with ample room for fetch using their provided chuckit & bucket of balls. Full grass yard with few, if any, bare spots... an absolute must during our wet Virginia springs! Hosts are very responsive and kind, and neighbors are friendly. Hope to make visits here a regular part of our week's excercise routine.

Sunday Funday... My Golden Retriever is tired out after an hour chasing balls in the huge yard today. Plenty of space to practice obedience as well. Very clean and well kept location, plenty of doggy bags and a waste receptacle as well.

So much room to keep my Golden running after balls, and to work on her stay command as well.

Awesome ! Super accommodating and excellent communication. I would book again and again. They have a wonderful backyard, with Chuck it balls ready to go, poopy bags readily available and a water bowl. Don't hesitate to book here.
