55Great spot. Clean, no gaps in the fencing, large area. Host left clear instructions for parking and getting into the spot. Really no complaints possible.
55We had a great time this afternoon at this Sniffspot! Beautiful lawn, thoughtful touches, perfect amenities (full water bowls, poop bags/trash & sanitizer), toys and even treats! We will definitely come again and HIGHLY recommend!!
55This space was perfect! Many toys available to choose from, treats to give your pup, and the fence was completely covered with a privacy screen. Pongo had the best time zooming around, great sized spaced!
55Awesome spot!
55This Sniffspot is just as described and was PERFECT! There were bowls of clean water, clean toys, chairs to sit on, and poop bags available. It was nice to have the privacy fences too. Will definitely be coming back 🐶❤️
55Great backyard to let the dogs play in! The host had multiple bowls of water for the dogs to drink and adirondack chairs for us to sit in. Also, lots of balls and toys to play with. Would definitely stop back!
55Five stars. Great experience. Exactly as stated in the listing.
55Our first time using sniffspot and couldn’t have a chose a better location! It was easy to find, completely fenced in, and had everything we needed - toys, bags, and treats. I left with a tired pup which was the goal. We will definitely be back!
55Awesome Sniffspot! We foster a lot of challenging dogs including flight risk dogs and reactive ones and the 6 foot fence with covering has been great for both! We have one flight risk dog in particular who will hide under things so I appreciate that there’s nothing for him to hide under and the yard is roomy enough to play but not too big that I can’t keep an eye on him at all times. We’ve also used this Sniffspot to have our foster dogs meet new people. It’s been great and host is wonderful!
55Oliver had a great time. They had treats and plenty of space for my small breed to run around. I really appreciated that they had a clean and dirty bin for their toys and clean water in both bowls they offered. Overall great spot!!!

My dog will never be audible or visible from the spot, but other people walk their dogs on the sidewalks in our neighborhood. Additionally, our neighbor sometimes cares for her relative's two dogs, so they are (infrequently) in the yard adjacent to ours. They cannot access our yard.

Making many "Happy Hounds" is our goal! We were inspired to open a Sniffspot by our resident dog Bear, who is highly reactive but LOVES to run off leash. We wanted our yard to be a safe haven for him and other dogs, too! We are always available to answer questions! Please don't hesitate to reach out. Cheers!
