First time using Sniffspot and Aubrey’s yard did not disappoint! My puppy had a blast and did not want to leave. We brought our own tennis ball, but no need to, Aubrey has toys, dog beds, and a water bowl with fresh water for all your dogs needs. We will be back!

My 9 mo old mini dachshund puppy, Charlie, and I really enjoyed Quinten’s place. We used the front yard while we were there. Quinten was very communicative and we loved the turf, sprinklers, and kiddie pool. I can tell Quinten is still doing work to his yard but so far it’s great! Thank you, we will be back!

Melissa is an incredible host!!!! Her yard is so clean, safe and spacious enough to keep an eye on my babies while letting them run free! She was so kind greeting me and my puppies and we all had a great time! We will 100% book again!

This is our second time coming here and it makes me so happy to get to see my dog run and play freely! Thank you Kate for renting out your yard.

We had such a great time using the pool and the yard! It was our pup’s first time swimming so she was a little nervous at first, but the stairs were a big help since the first step was so wide. The water was clean, and there were several life jackets of various sizes available which was great since we used one and it fit perfectly. There were also towels and sunscreen set out for us which was great! We did bring our own toys/balls since Nova has a habit of chewing/destroying them, but I believe there were some available to borrow if needed! We had such a good time, we will absolutely be back!
