55Best spot that I’ve ever been to in regards of cleanliness, communication & different ways to have fun each time. Also I’ve never ever heard a dog, or seen one for that matter. Which is huge, and often times even on this app there would be triggers at different Sniffspots. I’ve NEVER EVER had that problem here with any triggers of hers.
This time Eevee knew exactly where she was and got a bit comfy. 🐾 ❤️Amanda W.

55Such fun! We added pool time this visit and my little dog loved riding around on his boogie board. Taylor thinks of everything to make the visit a success. She had pool toys, towels(!) shade, and sun! Thanks for a great afternoon.Tracy S.

55Great spot! I have a 54 pound German Shepherd and there was plenty of room
to play ball. But the sniffs! My dog had her nose stuck to the ground investigating every inch of this yard having the sniffari of her dreams.
The neighborhood is quiet and the yard is spotless. We had plenty of space to work on her obedience and tracking skills. And ball, ball, ball!
I’m definitely going to rent the pool. It looks great. I promise to give her a massive brushing before I do! (So should everyone 😉 )
P.S. it has a very high, safe fence. Mary P.

55We had a great time! The space was clean and organized. Lots of toys as well. We used the water fire hydrant addition and it was perfect on a hot day for our dogs. Will definitely be back. Don M.

55Best Sniffspot I’ve been to in a long time. Lots of space for my dog to explore. I liked how they were varieties of terrain. Today was a hotter day so I was happy that there was plenty of shade. I would highly recommend. 🐾😃 Amanda W.

55My dogs were delighted to visit Taylor’s “Release the Leash” sniff spot. They had so much fun running around and playing with the provided toys. Plenty of fresh water was available and the driveway parking was super convenient! We’ll be back.Elisabeth W.

55Wow! This exceeded my expectations by a landslide. I didn't feel like I was in someone's backyard, but like I was on a vacation in a pet's Dreamland. My dogs had a blast belly flopping in the pool and chasing around different surfaces. I opted for the pool float and tub of balls and they loved it all. There was a lot to explore and I appreciated the private venue. Our time flew by and my pups were exhausted (in a good way!). We can't wait to come back. Thanks so much for the towels, ambiance, shady areas, and very clean/tidy and easily accessible location. With Gratitude, from a combat veteran, her service dog & retired service dog 🐕❤️🦮 Thanks for the much-needed respite!Lorilei L.

55This was our first time using SniffSpot and it was a great experience! Taylor’s home was perfect for our big pup Pilot to run around and play. The street is quiet and entry and parking were easy. We’ll definitely be back soon! Yey M.

55The host is communicative and keeps a very clean, safe place. Usually during Sniffspots at other locations I have to keep my eyes peeled on my pup. My dog is over 120 pounds and is great at finding any bit of trouble. 😜 At this Sniffspot that’s never a problem and I can be more at ease. Eevee 🐕 and I are excited to come back again very soon.

55Today when I visited my doggo played in the tunnel, sniffed around in the ball pit. She was exhausted by the end and enjoyed the sunshine. Needless too say this is our #1 Sniffspot! It’s been a heaven sent, never so easy to let my (apartment) beast get some zoomies out. Amanda W.

55Coco had so much fun for her first time here. We originally just wanted to use the backyard and fire hydrant sprinkler, but Coco saw the pool & we knew she wanted to go swimming. I messaged Taylor and asked if we could add on the pool package, and she was so accommodating! We plan to be here weekly to get Coco’s pool fix in😄💙Regan D.

55This place was amazing and exactly as described. I brought my slightly reactive dog along with my friend and her dog to get some running and playtime in. It was just what they needed, living in a small space these girls spent the hour sniffing, playing, and running with no stress about other dogs, or them escaping. It was peaceful, clean and there were shaded areas for them to cool off and have some water. They were tired after about 30 minutes so we used the rest of the time to work on recall training. All-in-all and great experience and I would definitely do it again! Anita N.
