55This was exactly what we expected! Lots of space for our dog to run and play. Our dog is reactive so thankfully there were no distractions from other dogs or people and we were very grateful for the secure 6 ft privacy fence!Christine F.

55Great convenient private entrance and parking. Yard was large enough for a good catch and had secure fencing. It was shady in the afternoon which was lovely but bring your bugspray :)Alycia H.

55Cute little backyard, perfect for playtime with pups. There are some bushes/plants around that mine definitely sniffed out. She leaves dog bowls and a puppy pool out if you’d like to use and there is a nice bench for the humans. There is a tree and bushes surrounding the fence for a little shade but mainly open yard.

55Gunner and Kevin had a great time chasing each other in this backyard. It was easy to find and had a totally private entrance that you park right in front of. The swing was cute but I also brought a blanket to set up shop on the ground in the shade. We will definitely be back!Chloe L.

The owners let me know in advance that they’ve added a small quail coop, which my dog found very fascinating! I’d recommend walking the perimeter on leash if you’ve any concern about how your dog might reach to meeting some adorable small birds. Tamara C.

55Keegan is so sweet! Her spot was adorable. Lots of good sniffing spots! Also, my dogs (who can be very easily distracted) did not even pay attention to the quail coop. They had a great time! Danielle M.

55We visited this sniff spot after a storm, and the owner kindly warned us about some sticks that might still be around. The space was completely cleared by the time we arrived, but Honeydew, being the stick-loving pup she is, had a blast finding a few leftover ones! The owner went above and beyond by leaving out fresh water and extra toys, which made Honeydew's day even better. They were super responsive and made us feel very welcome. We had an amazing time, and I highly recommend this spot for anyone looking for a well-maintained and dog-friendly space!Julia Paige P.

55If you aren’t booking with Gary you are doing it wrong! We showed up and water/chairs/towels/toys/gloves/trash bag were all waiting for us. Gary’s yard was in super great condition and super safe for dogs to sprint on. 10/10 will be returning here as much as possible!Sean V.

55This was our first Sniffspot and I think the dogs had a blast. They neglected all the toys I brought and chose to just run around the yard exploring. There was fresh water, bags, towels and chairs provided which were greatly appreciated. The only downside was it’s the beginning of spring and there were a lot of bees out and ants nests. Otherwise the yard was clean, the dogs had fun, and we will be back!Tori M.

5510/10 recommend! This is our first experience ever using Sniffspot and I was extremely pleased. My dog and I live in a complex where they don’t have an amenities for dogs so as you can imagine things can get pretty boring sometimes. We used Gary’s backyard and Cyrus had a blast! Great amount of space too, not too big not too small. We were even greeted by one of the lovely neighbors, who assisted us closing a gate. If your dog enjoys the outdoors and doesn’t care to escape this is a great spot! Otherwise if you have an escape artist I would just double check with Gary on the gates before booking. Thank you for having us Gary!!Cidney R.
