55We had a great time! My dog had fun running around the yard and doing the A-frame. The yard was well kept and the fencing sturdy. Great service that’s (the welcome sign was a lovely touch). We will be back the next nice day! Kendra B.

55This is such an amazing space and the owners are fantastic. HUGE grassy yard with shady spots and lots of toys and equipment to play with. My dogs had a blast running around exploring. The privacy screening goes around the entire space other than the gated parts. It is very secure. Normally no owner will interact with you, but they stopped by to cover the window well because the cover was damaged in the storm. It took like 2 minutes. They were nice enough to also block the space under the deck because my silly dogs kept trying to crawl under it. They were very accommodating and offered an extra 1/2 hr for the trouble. So nice.

55A friend and I brought our 3 dogs to Bobbijo's and HIGHLY recommend it! This was our first time using Sniffspot, and we were so impressed. We felt so welcome! We arrived to a bunch of goodies: waters and snacks (for dogs AND humans), hand sanitizer, and poop bags. Communication was great and they were quick to answer questions. The yard was clean, well-kept, private, and large enough for our 3 big dogs to full out run. They had multiple full water bowls out and a ton of dog toys. We forgot treats, but because they provided some, we were able to use them to lure our dogs onto the obstacles and that was fun! They were having so much fun, we asked if we could book another hour and they accomodated us with no problem. We'll definitely be going back! The happy dogs say it all. Erica R.

55The dogs had a blast in the pool today! Once again, everything was perfect and they tired themselves out. They must love this place, because they definitely got excited when we pulled up to the house. :)Erica R.

55My dogs took off running the minute we got in the gate. There are plenty of toys, and there is a spot in the corner for digging holes, even. Plenty of water, and there was a welcome sign at the gate with some treats for the pups and a bottle of water for me. Many chairs for the humans, I even got my dog to do some agility ramps. If you have a dog that likes to full-on run, this is a great spot. My dogs are zonked out after spending an hour at this Sniffspot. Highly recommend!Dayna P.

55Our girls had so much fun at this Sniffspot! It’s huge so they got plenty of good running in, the privacy screen was very helpful for my rather reactive pup, and they had fun with the toys and equipment. The personalized welcome sign was a very nice touch, too. Cayte M.

55Perfect space for dogs of any size to get out and run around! My Boston Terrier loved sprinting around the yard, going through the agility obstacles, and sniffing around. It was nice that the fence had a cover so he couldn’t see out into the other yards. He also especially loved all of the treats that were provided! An excellent spot, we will back! Lindsey C.

55Zoe had a great time. There are ducks inside the gate (securely penned) she was a little wary of at first. But came home with a tired and happy puppy so a successful visit. Thanks for sharing your yard with us! Kendra B.

55Beautiful space with shaded and unshaded areas, including table and chairs. Our dogs got a little distracted by the chicken and duck enclosure but it wasn't a deal breaker. Fun time!Stacey E.
