Apollo and I went at night but even in the dark you can tell this spot is gorgeous! And such a warm welcome!! Hand-made signs and a snack bar for both human and dog. We’ll be back! Check it out!!

We visited a near north suburban yard today while running errands What a terrific addition. Very clean and spacious . Tess rolled around as soon as we arrived. There was water and treats for me and Tess. A few toys were left to enjoy. With seating in a few areas we had nice choices to run and play. No neighbors were scene, very quiet. The hostess went beyond necessary. Good times! We will be back.

Very easy access to the yard and Lindsay was communicative the whole time. The area is mostly shade and offers plenty of areas for my dog to sniff and explore. I’m looking forward to making this a regular experience for my dog!

Great little spot to have your pups burn off some excess energy! Fully fenced in and secure for my dogs. We will hopefully be back here again sometime soon!

Great spot! We booked for evening and the lighting was perfect. Host went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable. Super quick to respond. The spot was secure and bigger than it looks in the pictures! Toys were out and some water for the pups. We’ll definitely be back!

The space was great for our two dogs to get a some sprints in and lots of sniffing! The host was very nice and left out a water dish and some toys.

Nice big space that’s easily accessible. Parking was easy as well. Host was communicative and accommodating. We will be back!

A selection of twigs along with tennis balls and a fresh bowl of water were set out for us. A sole chair was placed for optimal pooch-watching. The grass is well kept, and the perimeter offers many curiosities for exploring pups. It's not so much a sprinter's track as a spacious playground big enough for my boys to pick up speed in a game of chase. A friendly neighbor walking through the alley stopped by to chat. The vibe is safe, relaxing, wholesome, tidy.

This was a great yard! Long AND wide for 2 people and 2 dogs who not play with each other so much. There was enough room for ball throwing both ways and the dormant gardens were a bonus for curious pups. My dog destroyed both tennis balls the owner left out so I apologize for that but she had a lovely time doing it if that helps at all. Thank you for the water too. Lovely experience - we will be back with Maxine and Ruby for sure!

Great visit!! The host had water, balls, and sticks left out. Plenty of room to run and play fetch and lots of fun things to sniff. We left a tennis ball of ours after our beagle chewed up one that was there.

March 2022

The place was great, clean, quiet, with water/balls/sticks provided. It could be a little bigger but it’s close to my apartment and a great option to get my anti social dog off his leash. Thanks!

Nice clean fully fenced yard, easy access and parking. Perfect size for my dogs to enjoy fetch and wear themselves out!

My dogs had a great time running and playing. We will be back. Easy to find and easy street parking.

Danielle B.

Plenty of space, lots of things to sniff and the owner sets out water, sticks and a few balls which was a nice touch. My dog loved it (and so did the humans!)

Julie G.

April 2022

Great backyard! easy access, secured, all fenced in besides one smaller opening near the back, next to the alley that I had to stand in front of at one point as people walked by but otherwise totally fine. No other dogs or people passed by. Peaceful and quiet area. Host provided water bowl (with water already in it), toys, and sticks to use.

Anne’s yard was wonderful! Plenty of room for a big dog to run and play. She also left balls, sticks, and water out for my dog which was such a thoughtful touch. Thanks, Anne!
