Excellent experience! My Great Dane loved the area. The owner provided fresh water and dog toys. He introduced himself and provided helpful information.

Good spot! Decent size for the dogs to run around and play. Be aware this is near the airport, so we had many planes coming in for landing overhead. You also are driving through a neighborhood to get to the spot, so it can be a challenge with a reactive dog in the car. Thanks for sharing your space with us!

Great size yard for my toy poodle. She loved running around. Clean, quiet and secure fence. Easy access and great neighborhood. Will return soon!

Great little spot! It would work well for a smaller dog or puppy. Easy gate access on the side of the house and plenty of street parking. There is a lot to get into in the yard, so you do have to watch out for that. Otherwise, a nice little yard for your pup!

very nice backyard and they had a water bowl for the dog with fresh water which was a nice touch!

We had such a good time! The yard is well maintained and the fence is very secure. There was water for our pup which is perfect for this summer heat. She had so much fun!

Corey’s place was amazing!!! Titan loved it SO MUCH 🐾🥹💖 there was plenty of room for him to run freely and happily! There’s a private entry into the yard which we loved since it’s more comfortable for our pup and it is fully fenced in which gives us peace of mind for a safe, fun and exciting experience! We were also allowed inside the screened in porch in the backyard which was perfect to take a little break and give the puppers all the treats! The fan and heater were free to use and the pup was allowed on the chairs (which of course, Titan loved)! One of the best parts we also loved was that we couldn’t hear or see any other dogs or people nearby- perfect for our pup to relax and enjoy the space. He did love seeing the little kitties by the window though, absolutely adorable and one looked like his kitty sister at home which was so sweet! Thank you for being open during the holidays and for being such an awesome host! We will definitely be coming back soon!

Amazing as always!! We put the heater on by the screened porch today since it was a little chilly and Titan loved it. He’s a Midwest pup so the frosty grass was a win for him too! Space was super clean and perfect for him to run around and lounge about 🐾🩵🙌🏼

It was a rainy one today! Corey was super hospitable as always! We kept our booking despite the weather to see how Titan would like it and he LOVED IT! He had so much fun running around, going after his toys, getting lots of treats and laying on the little bench in the screened patio. Perfect place to hide from the rain if need be while letting your pup get fresh air and all the sniffies! Such a great experience as always:)

Corey's backyard was great! Secure fence, quiet area, no hazards for my pup to get into, and easy parking. I will definitely visit again.

Our first Sniffspot experience and what a great one! Allison sent very detailed information the day before and she thought of everything! We parked at the gravel spot as we didn’t want to block the driveway and it was no problem at all. A neighbor’s dogs did bark at us upon arrival like Allison advised and it’s understandable. We were surprised we didn’t hear Allison’s dogs from inside the house at all. It’s such a lovely spot and we will be back.

This place was lovely!! The host communicated what we would see and it was exactly that. Lots of toys and resources available! Our girls love the trampoline. We will be back again!

Awesome property! Super clean, completely fenced, and we felt right at home. This place had it all - grass, hills, woods, toys, and a great sitting area. It really is the perfect set-up for guests and their furry family. Our Ridgeback had a blast, explored, ran, and played. Sincere thank you to Allison & family for allowing us to enjoy their beautiful property!

Kristine J.

March 2023

Love the property! All fenced in and my dog loved exploring!!! Also they had everything you needed there, will definitely be going again!

I’ve brought my dogs several times now and it’s always fun! I appreciate the extra step taken to put down hay to cover any mud after it’s been raining.

Courtney F.

March 2023

We had SUCH an awesome time!! We had four greyhounds and they had so much fun running freely. The fence is 100% secure, everything is spotless and super clean, and I can't love 4 Paws enough! Haha my dogs had so much fun, they're probably going to sleep for a week!

This was awesome!!! Our two dogs and our foster dog loved it! Ali was so nice and very communicative! We will definitely be back!
