55Luna enjoyed running around the yard, playing with the toys and cooling down on the grass. There were lots of toys to play with and we brought a few of our own. The host allowed us to bring our doggie pool and she provided us a towel which was much appreciated. The yard has plenty of shade as well and is very quiet and clean, with no visibility to neighbors so very good for a reactive dog. Thank you! Diana V.

55Pepper's play yard was amazing. My dogs loved the yard, it was so clean and nice and not too big but not too small! My pups also loved Pepper and got to play with her and had a blast. The hosts were so nice and brought more water out for the pups as well. Really enjoyed Peppers play yard💕Olivia J.

55We had the BEST time! Pepper's sniffspot was very cool and shady. We brought our throwing stick and ball, but they had some toys there. There were water bowls and a note from Pepper. Easy to access and we would definitely go back. Barbara S.

55Wonderful all grassy yard with shade trees and interesting little places for dogs to sniff. Not a huge yard but more than enough for a dog and friends to chase and play. Chairs to sit under canopy. Hosts are very nice and considerate. Definitely 5 stars.Barbara S.

55This was such a nice grassy yard for my dog to play catch on. Long enough for her to stretch her legs and run! Toys and a towel (to wipe off her paws. Sprinklers had been on before our arrival and it was actually great for my dog as it cooled her down) were provided. Easy access to the back through the garage. Hosts were gracious and easily accessible during the hour through the app. Karine C.

55Great yard for our pups' first meeting (We're rescuing a bulldog). Plenty of shade, green grass and toys to play with! Lori provided water and a wonderful seating area under cover for the people. Can't recommend this SnuffSpot enough!!Genea K.

55Great safe space for the pups to sniff around and explore! Lovely green space with a tropical setting feel. I spent time under the canopy finishing up work on my laptop while my two dogs spent time roaming around.Jennifer N.

55Our first time using Sniffspot. And Pepper’s play yard was a great first experience for our two pups. Water bowls and toys provided, spacious area more than enough for them to play, chase, explore and roam. We will definitely be back again soon! ☺️🐶Pearlynne R.

55This home is in Rancho Bernardo and should not be listed as San Diego. Long drive for us in the east county. The Yard is fun for the dogs and I wish it were closer. Water is available and the hillside is an extra treat. Lovely shade and a table to sit at too.Theresa F.

55Everything about this visit was great! From the ease of parking, clear instructions to the backyard. My dog was tired and stimulated and so happy! So much for him to sniff and explore and plenty of space to run around. I’d definitely like to come back!Adriana M.

55This is a fun, spacious natural terrain yard with a beautiful view. My large hound had a great time exploring & sniffing everything and chasing the ball up and down the hill. Hosts very friendly, comfy seating for humans, and they had lovely outdoor lighting for dusk. A pooper scooper & bin in the corner of the yard, everything kept tidy.
Trampoline that humans are also welcomed to jump on, I've been trying to get my dog on one so that will help.
Wait to unleash your dog until you get to the second gate.
Long winding steps to the yard, wear sturdy shoes and pay attention.

55Great communication from the host. Clear instructions and the space is clean with comfortable seatings and a lot of tennis balls. It’s a nice spot that’s not too far away of a drive. The area is not as big as I imagined it would be but it looks exactly like the photos. It’s perfect for people who don’t have a backyard and don’t want to travel too far or if you want to let your dog explore a new area freely without worrying about off leash dogs. The slope and stairs going down felt pretty steep without handrail or railing so I would be extra careful ( the host did mention the slop on the posting and there is a sign reminding people of it at the gate going down) Joanna W.
