55Beautiful backyard! Catherine is a wonderful host and very helpful. My dog loves coming here!
55What a wonderful set up - so many activities designed for fun and mental stimulation. We had a great time. We so appreciated the thoughtful touches from doggie toys, to water for dogs and humans, chairs and the personal greeting of the sign when we arrived.
55Perfect, as always. We love it! Catherine is such a thoughtful host.
55Very nice and spacious yard with lots of fun things to do! My family and I had a great time spending special time with our Ruby. Thank you :)
55Our number one sniff spot to go to. Always maintained. Lots of room for our young husky to have a good run. Lots of toys for him to play with
55So much fun!!! What a super cute set up and loved the welcome sign for us at the entrance Miss Ivy had a great time running around after the ball… Can’t wait to go again with my girl
55Amazing experience, so many toys and activities to do! Pups loved it and the big backyard allows for dogs to play and take breaks without being too confined. Will be booking again!
55my dog enjoyed his time here!! great space for a hot day because there’s lots of shade. love the welcome table with a variety of different toys. the enrichment activities were awesome and the water bottles were a nice touch. will definitely be back :)
45Thank you for the welcome sign and extra toys to try out. Dakota loved all the areas to sniff. She tried out the different apparatus. Great shade and chairs for the humans. She especially loved stretching her legs out and chasing balls. Thank you. 💕
55Sparkle loves this place. She's always so happy to be there then sleeps for hours after.

my neighbour along the back fence has a dog that can occasionally be heard barking from their own backyard. my neighbour along the side fence has a dog that visits occasionally, but only goes in their own front yard - there is no connection of their front yard to our backyard. some dogs can be heard in the distance, many yards over. My two little dogs might bark occasionally, but they are seniors and mostly sleep during your visit. we have a 50ft buffer zone between the street/sidewalk and our sniffspot with a solid wooden fence, but dogs may be being walked on the street as you arrive and leave our sniffspot.

I am semi-retired after 8+ years of dog sitting/boarding, and we have created a fun yard for my clients to play in. I have two little senior dogs myself, who don't do well at public dog parks, so I am grateful to be able to provide our yard as a great alternative to dog play spaces.Denny is 13yrs old (bichon/poodle), who was attacked by 6 German Sheppards at a public park the first time we took him there as a puppy. He was terrified!Dexter is 18yrs old (bichon) - a once reactive dog who is too cute for people to believe me, and constantly want to pet him. He is too old and tired to care now, he just wants to sleep all the time.I hope you will come and enjoy our yard!
