55What a gem we found in Tempe. The sniff spot sign outside the house helped confirm we were at the right house. Welcome signs, water bowls, and bottles of water were so appreciated. The pool and site were clean. Our pup loved the swim. Will definitely return. Thank you!!Ann P.

55Beautiful clean and spacious spot! Easy to find and to get in and out of the gate. Ingrid had towels, cold water, disposable dog bowls, poop bags, and toys! Our hour and a half flew by as our four dogs played, swam, fetched, and ran! No complaints only compliments. We loved it and will be back. Holly R.

55Top notch Sniffspot! My dogs loved exploring, sniffing, playing, and swimming. Even though I brought all my own stuff, I appreciated the thoughtfulness of amenities such as toys, drinking water, poop supplies, and towels. The yard was secure and felt very private. Would definitely visit again! Brianna K.

55Shaggy's Shack is an absolute paradise for dogs, and my furry companion Layla couldn't agree more. Nestled amidst nature's embrace, this SniffSpot is a haven of relaxation and playfulness. The inviting pool and lush grassy area create the perfect blend of water fun and land adventures, catering to Layla's every whim.
The well-maintained pool is a refreshing oasis for dogs seeking relief from the summer heat. Layla's eyes light up with joy as she leaps into the crystal-clear water, splashing and paddling with pure delight. The fenced yard ensures safety and peace of mind, allowing her to frolic freely without any worries.
Beyond the aquatic adventures, the expansive grassy (real grass, not turf, no hot paws here!) area offers ample space for Layla to roam and explore. The vibrant green landscape is a dog's dream, filled with exciting scents and endless opportunities for games of fetch and chase. Layla eagerly darts across the open space, her tail wagging uncontrollably as she revels in the freedom provided by Shaggy's Shack.
What truly sets Shaggy's Shack apart is the attention to detail and thoughtful amenities. From shaded seating areas for pet parents, to toys, and water bowls & bottles, every aspect is designed to ensure both human and canine comfort. The serene ambiance and friendly atmosphere create a sense of community among fellow dog lovers, making each visit to Shaggy's Shack a memorable experience.
Whether it's cooling off in the inviting pool or bounding through the grassy expanse or relaxing in the shade of one of the many fruit trees, Shaggy's Shack has become Layla's go-to spot for outdoor fun and relaxation. As her devoted companion, witnessing her boundless joy and contentment at this SniffSpot brings me immeasurable happiness. Shaggy's Shack has undoubtedly earned its place as Layla's favorite spot, and we can't wait to return for many more wag-worthy adventures.Adrianna L.

55Should get 10 stars! I couldn’t find anything to complain about if I wanted to! The yard was a great size! Perfect enough for our Belgian Malinois to run and chase her ball! Ample room for our lab mix to run and play around. The pool was FANTASTIC! our Lab Mix, Rebel isn’t a fan of the water, but BOY DID REESE LOVE THE POOL! Once she learned where she could walk in/out of the pool, we had a hard time keeping her out of it… just like a child!
Both the pool and the yard were clean and very well kept. There were towels out for the pups, toys and water with bowls. It’s quite obvious this homeowner just absolutely loves dogs! Very warm and welcoming feeling from the moment you pull into the driveway with a personalized welcome sign when you enter the gate!
I would 100 out if 10 recommend!!!Randall T.
