My two gs had so much fun! It was 30mins drive from us, but it was worth a visit! Will come back again. Thank you!

Morgan D.

January 2025

Easy to get in and around! There were some balls to play with and a (small) filled water bowl (bring an extra water bottle with you if you have a big or thirsty pup!) There are stairs to go down upon entering, just be careful. Lots of grassy space to run around, play fetch and explore :) plus a little outdoor lounge area to sit and relax or cool off! Didn't see any people or other dogs from the backyard (you might if you went right up to the fences closest to the steet). The dogs that live there were in the house at the windows barking the entire time - wasn't an issue for me or my boy but might be good to know for other more reactive pups!

Ann Marie W.

We love this yard….so pretty and my 3 dogs have a ton of room to run around. Thank you for sharing your yard with us.

We were running late for our scheduled time and Karen was so accommodating. Great communication! Love this yard…my dogs love this yard

David H.

February 2025

Thank you for hosting me and my two dogs. It was very relaxing and my dogs had a great time. The only noises we heard the whole time were some landscapers at the Neighbor’s home. Will definitely be returning. This was perfect for my two dogs who are cooped up in an apartment temporarily.
