Pooch Paradise Nc's Fully Fenced Yard For Dogs To Rent In Raleigh

Fully Fenced
0.25 acres

Our Family & Story... Pooch Paradise NC is a family-run dog hosting experience created by me Beau and my two teenage daughters, built on a genuine love for dogs and a passion for giving back. We absolutely love hosting pooches and creating a safe, calm, and affectionate home where every dog is treated like part of the family. I own my own real estate company www.TheBeauGroup.com #exprealty, have been involved with a children's cancer foundation for many years, and have worked as a male fashion model since hight school. Because of this work flexibility, I am able to work from home most of the time-so your pooch receives constant love, attention, and the freedom to roam the house and feel right at home. Hosting dogs has been an incredible way for my daughters to learn responsibility, compassion, and the joy that comes with caring for each amazing pooch we welcome into our home. It has also given them the opportunity to earn money while balancing their busy school schedules, volleyball careers and volunteering at my www.ChildrensCancerPartners.org —teaching valuable life skills along the way. Beyond our love for dogs, Pooch Paradise NC allows our family the flexibility to stay actively involved with my children’s cancer foundation, supporting children and their families as they bravely battle cancer. Giving back is at the heart of everything we do. When you trust your beloved pooch with us, you’re doing more than choosing a loving, safe and secure place for them to relax while you’re away. You’re supporting two hardworking teenage girls as they pursue their passion for school, sports and you’re helping make a meaningful difference in the lives of children and thier family fighting cancer. At Pooch Paradise NC, love, care and purpose come together—one amazing pooch at a time. Hosting is only $50 per pooch per night! Booking your next appointment is easy. Simply text 919-332-8320 or email PoochParadiseNC@gmail.com with your desired dates, we will confirm...that's it! If this is you and your pooches first time staying with us we can set up a meet and greet at our home to meet you and your pooch and give you all a tour.

Janet's Durham City Bark Park

Fully Fenced
0.11 acres

I have a fully fenced in yard. There is one gap, but we have covered it with cinder blocks. It is a 6 ft privacy fence, so you shouldn’t see the neighbors. One set of next door neighbors has a dog that is occasionally out. Please keep dogs on leash when outside of the yard. Thank you! Out in the yard there will be balls for your pup to play with, a water bowl, and a hose. We can also set up a tent we use for vendor events when it’s sunny or raining for shade/coverage. Just let us know in advance. There is also shade from a large tree in the yard. If you need a dog first aid kit, we will have one in the house along with things like water for humans, snacks for pups and humans, and a restroom for humans to use. If you need a towel for your pup, let us know, and we’ll be glad to give you a dog towel to use. We will bring things out to you. These are only available if we are home. Street parking is available at all times. You may park in the driveway, but please ask first in case one of us is going to have to leave (or coming back) while you are there.
