There are occasional wildlife that pass through or can be visible from the yard. Occasionally deer and sandhill cranes visit the fields, and in the evening there is an occasional sighting of a very timid coyote, though I only see him about once every other week.

Location

Winthrop Harbor, Illinois

Description

My house is in a residential neighborhood with quiet neighbors. Our street speed limit is 25 mph, and there are farm fields on the north and south side of the house (I do not have claims to the farms). Because of the more rural setting, it is not uncommon to see occasional wildlife like sandhill cranes, deer, and very rarely a timid coyote in the evening. Some neighbors have dogs, with the closest being 2 houses away, that are in their own fenced yards, but rarely do they bark or make themselves noticed.

Extras

On-site ear cleaning$10

Did I hear that right? Yes! Ear cleaning for $10! On select days and times (listed in the About Me section), I will get in there and clean all of the yuck out so you don't have to! Ears can be a breeding ground for bacteria and fungal infections and regular cleaning helps prevent that. I will also let you know if there is a potential infection present so you can bring it up with your vet! I am a safety certified dog groomer with 10 years of professional service experience.

On-site mat removal$15

Before picking up those kitchen shears, consider letting a professional handle those pesky mats for you. We get it, they happen for certain breeds 🤷‍♀️ Book for select days and times (listed in the About Me section) and I will safely shave just the mats as inconspicuously as possible, or brush them out if they are mild enough and your dog is tolerant of it. Pricing is based on temperament and severity. I am a safety certified dog groomer with 10 years of professional service experience.

On-site nail trim plus buff$20

Do you want to upgrade your pal's nail trim? Book ahead on select days and times (listed in the About Me section) for a trim plus buffing! Basic nail trims are great, but they can still leave sharp edges. Buffing smoothes out those rough edges and helps the nail quick to recede much faster and safer. The price for trim plus buff starts at $20. Pricing is based on temperament, length of nails and nail condition. I am a safety certified dog groomer with 10 years of professional service experience!

Nails getting too long? Tired of the clacking when your dog is walking on hard floors? Book ahead of time on select days and times (listed in the About Me section) for nail trimming! Basic nail trims start at just $15. Pricing is based on temperament, length of nails and nail condition. I am a safety certified dog groomer with 10 years of professional service experience!


On-site paw pad shaving$10

🎶You're a sweet one, Mr Grinch🎶 Did you know, some dogs grow a lot of hair in-between their paw pads? Too much of it can lead to matting, moisture retention, slips and falls, and hide potential injuries. For just $10 I can safely shave the hair in-between the pads and inspect each foot for any abnormalities you may need to review with your vet. I am a safety certified dog groomer with 10 years of professional service experience.

Cedar Dale Pet Resort's Fully Fenced Private Puppy Playground In Lake Geneva

Welcome to Southeast Wisconsin’s Finest Pet Resort! Here at Cedar Dale Pet Resort we have been caring for your four-legged family members since 1981 and now we are offering you a whole new experience- the opportunity to enjoy our recently remodeled Private Puppy Playground! Fun is sure to ensue in a fully fenced natural grass play yard filled with numerous obstacles and various play equipment for the ultimate enriching experience! Zoom through tires, climb on spools, and run down slides. Lay in the grass under the shade of a tree or dig in the sand. Seating for the human family, waste scoop & receptacle are provided. Complimentary wade-pool and towels will be made available upon request. Currently hours of availability for our Private Puppy Playground are generally when our guests are napping or inside the resort eating so no need to be worried about other dogs interfering with your pup’s outing. During the summer months when the weather is nice and our guest volume is high, we may have dogs outside in the other yards midday, but we will not utilize the yard next to the Private Puppy Playground during Sniffspot reservations. Other daytime hours may be available upon request, but we ask that you contact the resort directly for scheduling those times. Additional services including daycare play groups, overnight boarding, nail trims, bathing, and full grooming services, as well as professional training are also available.

A private acre property with years of love tended to it. One 1/2 acre fully fenced adjacent to home with access to back 1/2 acre that’s all open space. Plenty of space for large and small dogs alike to run, explore, play, train and enjoy the variety of places to Sniff. There is a lot to smell and hunt for (nature and critter scents) Ample space and fence is secure. Our dogs are small so we ensured no gaps or lifting and check regularly. Behind the shrub line by house is the same; securely fenced. The Unfenced Back half part of our property continues all the way to the south tree line. There are apple trees where deer feed, sand hill crane family visits and other wildlife pop up at times, so good sniffing there. At the tree line there is a pathway to a field and the school’s baseball diamonds. That become public property fun for the dogs to explore, especially on long leads, and commonly used. Dogs must be on leash anytime outside of the fenced area. The Oak Creek Parkway trails are also close by for longer walks. There is a table & chairs by the side garage walkway/door with toys, treats for pups and humans, bottled water and more for your use. Dog water bowl cleaner between uses and extra pitcher of water for refill or cleaning. Yard is regularly walked and guests have been wonderfully respectful of not leaving pup presents 💩 behind 😊 We do our best to accommodate all requests, even ones not listed. Have a request for something that was offered or utilized at another SniffSpot? We would love for you to share, ask and let us know.
