Great space! Took a couple of my client’s dog’s here to enjoy some sniffing and exercise! I liked the tree for shade! Love having a large space to let them run! It was also very clean when we went! Easy access also! We will be back!

We had a great time at this sniffspot! Scout had a blast running in the field and playing in the pool. Water and homemade cookies were provided by the host! I think my son had as much fun as the dog.

Amazing and wonderful! My dogs had a blast! Jamie is awesome and genuinely loves dogs and cares about their wellbeing! Can’t wait to come back 🐾

Our first Sniff Spot ever and we had a blast. Jamie was open and kind and made sure we found everything okay and (she asked beforehand) also met our pups. There were toys for the dogs to enjoy and treats for the humans to enjoy… the homemade cookies were great and the water was much needed! Pro tip: The gate labeled “Sniff Spot entrance” BEHIND THE WHITE BUILDING is in fact the entrance. We fumbled our way a little bit at first. The beige building IS NOT THE WAY IN. 😅

I wish I could give 10 stars! Amazingly beautiful and fenced in site. Our dogs loved sniffing and exploring. The homemade chocolate chip cookies were amazing too! We will definitely be back to visit this great spot. Highly recommend!

Jamie was a wonderful host and respected our dogs who were fearful of strangers. She left cookies out for us and water. There was a kiddie pool filled with water and toys. The pups had fun running around and rolling in the grass.
