55First of all, I left with total and complete garden envy. The trees, flowers and other plants were heavenly. I love growing my own food and take inspiration from their garden. But, back to the pups.
My boys loved romping under the trees and up and down the hill. You could hear dogs barking in the distance and we arrived to yappy little dogs on a balcony nextdoor. Eventually, the neighbors brought them in and they were far enough away that our dogs paid them no mind. Lots of balls, shade and things to sniff kept them busy. My reactive boy didn't care because he was having so much fun! Phew!! Everything was secure here but the many steps may be a challenge if you prefer flatter surfaces. We brought our dinner and enjoyed a cool summer evening on sturdy chairs and a cafe table. Definitely will return and highly recommend this spot!Cathy T.

55Huge yard, all the amenities like balls, treats, water. Super nice owner who was watering as I arrived. The yard was dry so my scruffy haired terrier got burrs in his fur so I sadly couldn’t stay the whole time. But would come back after the dry season! Connie C.

55My dog had a blast running up and down the gorgeous, spacious yard, chasing the balls John and Lilly provide. We play hide and seek and there were plenty of places for me to hide. Lilly is such a kind and gracious host, and I really enjoyed talking with her. There are chairs in every corner of the yard, for the humans to rest while the pups play. When we were visiting, there was a wet area in the middle with slick mud so watch your step there, and maybe watch your dog too -- mine decided to cool off by laying down and rolling in the muck. Joke's on her though, because I took her straight to the pet wash after her fun Sniffspot romp :PConnie K.

55I have 3 small canine escape artists. Knowing the owner also has a small dog made me more comfortable with the fencing. And my 3 didn’t find any gaps or holes!
The area was lovely, it’s really a 3 dimensional space and my dogs raced up and down the hill. Tons of clover ground covering that they tromped through.
Owner was very nice and friendly. She directed me to fresh water for the dogs she had already set out.
Absolutely going to bring my guys back here. Caity R.

55We had a great time! I visited with my pitty who had a blast sniffing and rolling around in all her glory! We saw the dog next door who was pretty chill - the visit was perfect! Grateful to the hosts!! ❌⭕️Micki C.

55The garden was such a fun place to explore! Lots of grass, shade, and areas to sniff and run around. The fence is a bit short on one side so if you have a big dog who is a jumper I would be careful. Great for our dogs though. Lilly was so nice and pointed out where the treats, toys, and water were from a safe distance. Thank you so much!Sarah F.

55Lily is so heartwarming & kind! This is my first sniff spot, I was so nervous and after speaking with her she made me feel so welcome & explained where everything is. Property is huge garden and hilly, great exercise & room for the pup to run up and down, lots of plants to sniff and explore! We will be back! Thank you! Irene V.

55This beautiful, moderately sloped backyard was perfect for my purposes: to give my dog time in a novel, dog-free environment where he could explore. I enjoyed it almost as much as he did. In January it looks almost tropical. We could hear chickens and turkeys (?) next door. There was a beautiful flock of acorn woodpeckers in a nearby tree. Keep in mind there is not a lot of room for fetch here. Dogs that use Sniffspot for exercise may be happier elsewhere. However, I found it relaxing and welcoming (the host leaves toys and treats for guests to use.) My dog loved exploring the yard.Leslie G.

55Dogs loved this terraced yard with lots of things to investigate, lots of little paths. In one area there is a 3' fence, my dogs ignored it and were happy to stay in the yard. The little fence goes to the yard next door and maybe that yard is secured so it is really no problem but not sure. Lily is super friendly. Pamela J.

55The yard had plenty for our three pups to sniff and explore. The neighbors have dogs and some other wildlife so if your dog is reactive to those triggers, I wouldn’t recommend this spot. Also, there are quite a few stairs so it is not very accessible if you have mobility issues. Carrie C.

55great spot! very clean, clear walkways, and private. also a huuuge space given that its oakland, and lots of shade and some places to sit which is perfect for summer. at the very end of our visit as we were leaving, the owner’s dog was on their balcony and was visible and barking momentarily. otherwise no dogs seen or heard during the 2-hour visit and it was not disruptive at all. also chickens could be heard next door but not visible and it was generally a quiet spot.

55What a beautiful oasis! So many places to sniff, different terrains to walk on, logs to do up ups, birds to watch, lots of room to throw a frisbee, wonderful shade spots and nice sunny spots! Just a pure delight to be at. My dog wore herself out in an hour!
Fencing was solid on the upper area. Lower area had solid fencing on 1 side and chain link on the other 2. We did not hear any dogs or people.
Lovely magical place! Thank you for sharing your yard with dogs who need a safe place to explore!Melanie L.

55John and Lilly's home is beautiful, their large garden has a lot of interesting sniff spots for our pups, they had so much fun smelling and racing! They also have a few spots to sit down and chill under the huge trees shade. Very quite place, we could barely hear any noice from the city. Our dogs are dog reactive, we didn't have any problems, no other animals or humans around.
