55Great yard! My dog loved sniffing every inch of grass and fence line.
55Always a great time. Perfect place to let the pups run and explore
55Amazing location! My dogs loved the yard and the toys. Will definitely be back!
55Great, secure yard to let my dog run off some energy. Loved that there were some toys available since we forgot our own.
55Wow - an amazing spot. I’ve taken my pup here a couple of times and he has loved every minute of it. The host ensures that all are well taken care of leaving many places to sit, bug spray, poop bags, hand sanitizer, and more for the humans. For the pups, there are many enriching activities and the yard is spacious enough to really get some good running in. All this and at an affordable price? We are so grateful for this spot!
55What a lovely spot! Our host was so kind and accommodating. There were toys galore, including a pool and a tree tug-toy. The pups appreciated the fresh water bowls, and we humans appreciated the poop bags, bug spray, and chairs. The yard was spacious and super fun for the dogs to explore.
55thank you! very nice yard & fun toys
55Thank you for the use of your lovely yard! In this heat and humidity it was the perfect spot for my pups to sniff, run, and cool off. Thank you also for the extra amenities, especially the water and the OFF!
55Great location! The water feature was loved by our pups! Lots of new smells and toys to play with. Thanks Ashley for a great first experience with Sniffspot!!
55The spot is pretty and well maintained with tons of water bowls, we had a blast!

my dog will be inside. there is a possibility he will bark from inside. the neighbors have 3 dogs that will most likely say hi from the other side of the fence. you wont be able to see them but they tend to enjoy running the fence line. its honestly great exercise for pups!

Hey there! I'm Ashley, and I'm a huge animal lover. I strongly believe that all dogs should have a safe space where they can let loose and have a great time. That's why I've decided to open up my beautiful backyard to the community. It's my way of providing a haven for furry friends to enjoy themselves. So come join me and let's create unforgettable moments and make a positive impact on the lives of dogs in our community together!

Fall 2024 Updates: It's acorn drop season and our large oak tree is dropping tons of them. If your dog likes to eat stuff off the ground our yard might not be the best fit during this season. We want our pup friends to have a safe fall. We’re planning to stay open throughout the winter this year but will be closed when the ground is wet to protect our lawn and prevent muddy spots. Hi! I'm Alyssa, a rescue dog owner with a ~1/3 acre yard perfect for your dog to enjoy! We have a mix of gardens, grass, mulch, and leaf areas great for sniffing and playing fetch and a bin full of fun toys and treats. We have a special basket of small dog toys upon request. We provide cold water for humans, bug spray, and hand sanitizer. We spray our yard every 5 weeks with a natural oil mix to help reduce mosquitos, fleas, and ticks. Reactive dog owners should note that our neighbors on both sides have dogs that may or may not be outside during your visit. They are all friendly but will probably bark to say hello. (No dogs live in the yard with the chain link which is newly covered) We provide a bucket of extra treats to help with training and distraction. Our girl loves a "sniffari" where you hide treats around the yard to sniff out. ⭐️ Important notes ⭐️ 🐶 All dogs must be FULLY vaccinated (Rabies, Parvo, Bordetella, DHPP) Please do not book unless you are sure your dog has all their shots. Puppies less than 4 months old that are still building up vaccines should stay at home. 🐕‍🦺 Dogs MUST be leashed when entering and exiting the yard. Our neighbor across the street has a few outdoor cats we want to keep safe and our neighbors walk their dogs on the street. 🍃 Please do not let your dog eat or chew any of the plants in the yard. No excessive digging. 🌻 Please do not enter the gated garden area on the other side of the house. We keep our quail coop and turtle enclosure in this area and don't want them startled. Feel free to look in from the gate though. 🍺 Per Sniffspot's rules, no alcohol is allowed, and please no smoking. 🚩 We reserve the right to ban any guests who break these rules.
