55What a great host! She has clear signs and extra poop bags and toys and a pool and the yard is so nice. Big enough for a 80 lb pattie to run zooming over and over and leave tired with a big smile on their face. Very appreciated and felt very welcomed.
55Libby was so great! You can tell she really has a heart for dogs. She has so many thoughtful things in her backyard. She definitely went above and beyond to create a great experience for any dog at any level. I can’t wait to bring my baby back! 🩵 🐾
55amazing spot!! the yard was super spacious and very well maintained. the host was super communicative and we loved the extra options (my dog really liked the bubbles, lol). it was also super nice to have all the amenities for both people and pups! we had a really fun time 💕🥳🐶
55The perfect place for my small dog to stretch his legs and sniff some new smells. Plenty of places to sit, and I appreciated all the supplies provided (bug spray, wet wipes, etc).
55Very clean, well maintained, and a really good size! Comfortable seating and quiet area. There is a quiet sweet dog next door who said hi to my pups but there is only one tiny area that they can be nose to nose with each other through the fence. The host was very accommodating to me. With having smaller dogs she added an extra gate by the entrance for us just to make sure my dogs were secured and safe! I plan on going back often!
55Second time here and my dogs got excited when we got to the street. Another great visit with all the accoutrements of the finest (dog) hotels.
55Lovely big yard! Sunny spots and shady spots, so many toys, the bacon flavored bubbles were super cool!
55Large and shaded yard. Fence was in great shape and very secure.. Quiet neighborhood in a great location. Communication was quick, helpful, and valuable. Rosie looooved the space and fresh air. Lots a room for playing ball and zoomies. Bacon scented bubbles was a new and special fun. Recharged my soul watchinge Rosie being her best dog self. Would rebook and recommend to family and friends.
55Really nice yard and the host was so kind! We hope to come back!
55The backyard was large enough for my Great Danes to sprint around and they really enjoyed it. Will definitely be bringing them back to relax in the soft grass!

Description

Discount code for MACC volunteers bringing shelter dogs on field trips- please PM for details before booking! Proceeds from this Spot will go to dog rescue. Charming urban oasis located within minutes of Downtown Minneapolis. Yard is flat and spacious with partial shade most of the day. Relax under umbrellas on the patio or by the fire pit while your pups play. Fresh water provided, and a waste station is in the SW corner. We don't use lawn chemicals during the summer, so your pup is always safe to roll in the clover or nibble on grass. Plenty of street parking (please do not park in the driveway) and a private entrance along the north side of the property. Please make sure gate is securely closed before leaving. Resident dog may bark from indoors at you but will be out of direct sight. If your pup is reactive to sound, please let me know ahead of time & I will do my best to remove mine from the property while you visit. NEW: If you're interested in a shallow water pool/sprinkler for smaller dogs/older dogs, it's listed under extras with no fee. Just add it on to let me know you'd like it set up vs. the deeper kiddie pool.

Cleanliness

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

Hazards

Very small dogs (cat-sized or smaller) could potentially squeeze through the bottom of the entry gate as it's rounded. I can provide a baby gate if this is a concern. We regularly host fearful/stressed shelter dogs and welcome reactive dogs - that said, please make sure you are NOT arriving early or leaving late. We want to keep everyone safe by preventing accidental interactions between guests.

Dog bubbles (various flavor)$1

Bacon, Steak, or Chicken-scented dog bubbles provide a fantastic way to exercise and mentally stimulate your dog. It's so entertaining watching your pet jump, pounce and catch. Bubbles are made of an organic non-toxic plant-based bubble solution. The bubbles are Paraben, and Polyethylene glycol free! Easy to clean.


Shallow Splash/Sprinkler Pool$0

Have smaller dogs, dogs afraid of water, or older dogs with mobility issues? Add this Splash pad to your reservation so they don't miss out on the fun! If not added, I'll only provide the regular kiddie pool for use (during warm weather months). Listing this as an extra in an effort to reduce wasted water. :)

Additional rules

Please do not allow your dog to dig or pull up plants, damage the privacy fence panels, or chew furniture/general landscaping/structures. ***EXCEPTION: The ornamental grasses on either side of the patio steps are fine for dogs to "nest" in- they all seem to love rolling on the grasses. They will stand back up on their own later. Just no digging or chewing, please.*** Please do not take home any toys, bubbles, bug spray supplies, towels, or extra poop bags. All waste must be picked up and bagged before being disposed of in the trash can - if they pooped it, please scoop it! Visitors CANNOT accept deliveries of food or goods while on-site (sorry, no ordering Doordash or UberEats). You're welcome to get food ahead of time & bring it with you as long as you clean up & fully dispose of it before leaving.
