This was our first time using Sniffspot and our two older girls enjoyed themselves so much! They had all the space to run around, sniff and explore in a safe and clean space. Loved the little bridge separating the two spaces. The water was an interesting feature for the girls to investigate. Communication with the owner was smooth and she was very friendly and helpful. We’ll definitely go back!

Roomy and spacious yard with a nicely shaded back section where our dogs loved to take breaks from the heat.

Large, grassy yard with plenty of shade available. Our pups enjoyed exploring every corner of the yard, crossing over the bridge, zooming around, and sniffing everywhere! Beth left us a fresh bowl of water (thank you!). Very easy to access and very clean.

Ama S.

Expansive yard with lots of areas to sniff, and the bridge and stream are a fun feature. Thank you for fresh water bowl! For those with reactive dogs, there were some dogs barking in the house at the start of our visit. However, they quickly quieted down. Will be back! Thank you!

Amazing space for two energetic dogs to explore! Lots of space, shade, space to run. Water was provided. Just one area in the fence near the main road that would be a risk for small dogs to escape, but they have put some rock barriers up!

Great visit! Love the two-part yard. The back section is more well shaded, so great for fetch because the dog can stay cooler. Well-fenced. We had a great time!
