Dan's Fully Fenced Yard For Dogs To Rent In Venice

Fully Fenced
0.25 acres

Very secluded, surrounded mostly by vegetation. Pool available. Pool is fenced in case you don't want your dog entering the pool. You have to open the pool fence to let them in. Fresh water, dog first aid kit. You may toss your doggie poop bag in the trash can as you leave, poo bags are near the trash can. Hand sanitizer is in the pool area. Dog bath area (shampoo and conditioner is an extra expense). Back gate sets about 3-4 inches above the ground, so very small dogs could go under the gate or between the back fence rods. Bathroom by the pool. Towels to dry your dog (or you) off are in the pool bathroom as well. The total area the dog(s) can go is a little under .25 acres. While you are here, my dogs will be locked inside the house. They will only be (possibly) visible at the patio doors. You may hear dogs in the distance, but it's secluded enough that you won't see dogs other than mine through the patio doors if you are close enough to them (there are squirrels, rabbits and such here and there). I am also good with you bringing an extra dog for every paid dog. I don’t know how to set that up, but you can just put half the amount of dogs you are bringing and I am fine with that.
