55We had another great visit at Meghan's Sniffspot. I appreciate that she was responsive to my previous feedback and shored up the fencing to make sure the space was extra secure. The fences are nice and high, and there were no distracting dogs around--very rare! We'll definitely come again!Stefanie L.

55Meghan hosts a gorgeous and welcoming private yard, complete with tall privacy fencing and lush clover. It is peaceful with lots of great sniffs to snorf. Really appreciated the easy water hose access to keep my dogs cool while they explore. Will be visiting again soon!!Kate T.

55Beautiful private area! Our favorite spot. Our dog felt comfortable and joyfully played until she was so tired she went home and slept for hours. Will definitely be visiting more in the future!William S.

55Oatie loved his visit! Very safe fence, lots of space to sniff and perfect time of year to investigate leaf piles. Such a steal at the price and just a few mins away from us! We will definitely be back :-)Emily C.

55I enjoyed bringing my dog to Amy’s backyard!! It had enough space for my dog , Stella, to run and sniff around. I thank Amy for letting me know about the mosquitos and recommending to wear big spray so they don’t bite me so I recommend the same for anyone who goes :) I will definitely bring my dog here againMaria R.

55Such a great spot! Hanna was very responsive to my questions. The yard is super cute, well equipped, and has some shady spots to cool off. The fence was secure enough for my master escape artist. I now have a very happy, very tired pup. Thank you!!Emma P.

55We had a good time here! I was warned that the grass was a little overgrown, and it was, but that didn’t stop up from having a good time! The fence is nice and tall and while there are a few spots where it doesn’t meet the ground, the brush seems thick enough that a dog would not try to go through.
Everything was right where they said it would be and there were bags, bug spray, and puppy wipes available!
Olive had a good time sniffing around and we were able to get some training in and reinforcing some of her cues on different surfaces like the tall grass, the concrete pad, and the deck.
We look forward to coming back to try and get in a run around with the resident corgi!Talia N.

55Great fenced in area to let my puppy explore off leash. This was my first sniff spot, and I will totally do it again. The yard is great for a little dog like mine to run in circles and explore. There are some cool toys out in the yard as well which was fun and exciting for my pup. Autumn G.

55Great backyard! A nice seating area and plenty of room for your dog and LOTS of shade!! The only downside for me and my dog was the noise in the surrounding area but it was great other than that. If your pup doesn’t mind hearing people and cars nearby it’s a great spot! Madison M.

55If I could give Beth, her husband and their doggie paradise a bazillion stars, that still wouldn't be enough!! For anyone in Durham, especially the downtown area, I promise you this sniffspot is the answer to your prayers. It's spacious, wooded on half of the property and has a fabulous looped trail that runs through the trees. The minute you step into the dog play area, you feel like you're in the middle of a wonderful State park area. Fenced all the way around and Beth has taken extra measures to make sure your pupper will be safe at all times. There is every amenity you could possibly hope for. For owners with reactive dogs, this is the ONLY sniffspot we've ever used in which our Aussie was calm and only interested in having fun. There is definitely a calming vibe there. Last, but CERTAINLY not least, are the owners. The proverbial Icing on the cake. They're absolutely charming, helpful and want only to make sure you have the best experience possible. If you don't give this spot a try, you're really missing out!Stephanie T.

55This is such a wonderful spot!! The yard is safe, clean, quiet, full of great sniffs, and spacious enough for fetch and zoomies. There is a great covered deck as well. The hosts really have thought of everything! They were extremely kind and included so many thoughtful little touches. There is a nice big sign welcoming you to the sniffspot at the end of the gravel driveway so you know you’re in the right place when you park. There is a private entrance gate that again says sniffspot. You can flip that sign alerting others that guest dogs are at play before they attempt to enter. There was clean water, bowls, lots of toys, a comfy dog bed, poopy bags, treats, towels, hand sanitizer, even the WiFi password if you need to catch up on work while your pup plays. Our dogs had so much fun playing and exploring! They left happy and exhausted. We 100% recommended this spot and can’t wait to come back. Thank you so much for opening your property to Sniffspot and for having us!! Wes & Devin K.

With Sniffspot all bookings are private for just you and dogs you bring with you and we require all dogs to be vaccinated (or have equivalent titers). All Sniffspot locations are vetted and reviewed by guests so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits are 5 stars.
