55This place is a hidden gem! Sooo much area to romp around in…my pup was worn out just from all of his exploring (thank you:)). The host was so kind to leave out toys, water, and offered to set out a sprinkler and/or kiddie pool for my pup to play in. We would love love love to come back!Kimber B.

55Absolute perfect spot for us! We loved going through the woods. If you venture out the next 24 hours or so, I think I walked through every spider web in the woods, so your walk will be a bit more spider free!
I didn't reply to the host soon enough for the pool to be filled up or to use the sprinkler, so we'll do that next trip. My boy has never played with balls or toys, but there are some available for use.
It was so nice to see him roam and run again after 5-6 years of walks around the apartment complex only with me and my walker. I'm partially handicapped - dead nerve in my leg/"drop foot"- so the different terrains were great for working on my balance. There's a nice huge bonfire area. I look forward to reserving time for that when it gets cold again. We had a great morning/early afternoon on this beautiful property and will definitely be returning.Heather G.

55This was our first experience with Sniffspot and it was awsome. Really nice property, well fenced, they left out dog toys with optional sprinkler and paddling pool. The property has a mixture of open areas for running and woods for exploring, and for humans there was a firepit with awesome wood chairs around it to relax. While our dogs explored the woods, I played hide and seek among the trees in the open area with my kids. Awesome time, will 100% go back.Brian K.

55What a gorgeous and surprising morning in nature. My no interest in toys for 15 years dog found a toy he wanted forever. All he did was carry it around and to the car, but this is a HUGE move for this dog! I'm unable to post a video.
I blame his new interest on the rescued girl I brought in last Thursday. She loves her new toys, and he watches her play with them but never engages or tries a toy out. This stuffed elephant today, though....melted my heart seeing him with it!
We're so thankful for access to this property and can't wait til our newly rescued girl can join us!Heather G.

55Great place for my pups to stretch their legs- sun and shade, private and secure. This is my first experience with Sniffspot and glad heard about it! I didn’t see a place to fill up water bowls- lots of hoses out to sprinklers that weren’t connected, but I didn’t investigate too thoroughly because I had water in my van and I didn’t want to snoop around a property that’s not mine.

55Great space for dogs to run like crazy! Brought my pup and his best friend and they were exhausted after only 30 mins. Also this was the perfect spot to work on my dog’s recall (he needs some work lol). Samantha L.

55I am giving this five stars because I think the Sniffspot was well described and our dogs had the time of their lives, but I am not sure it was the best place for us. My perspective is an owner with two dogs - a hound (read: stubborn with a nose that’ll get him in trouble) and a terrier/shepherd (read: high prey drive and curious). I hope this review contains information that will be helpful in deciding if this Sniffspot is the best for you and your dog(s).
Pros:
- communication. Tim gave us all the information we needed days in advance. He answered our questions in a timely manner, which we greatly appreciated.
- location. Conveniently located, but also tucked away. We thought it was a good compromise. We heard cars, but no other animals or people.
- space. We loved the amount of space our dogs had to run, sniff, and play.
- accessories. Our dog loved the pool, which also doubled as our other dog’s water bowl. lol. There were other toys to play with, but we didn’t use them this time.
- shade. There were so many places to stand to enjoy the shade. It was a refreshing break from the Florida heat.
Things to Consider:
- security. When you pull into the place, you’ll turn left. Your best bet is to keep behind the house because the fencing is more secure. However, there’s not a barrier to physically keep your dog behind the house. They have to have good recall. Even with our dog, who has decent recall, the mailman was too exciting for him and he slipped through the fence. The issue is really that my dog’s recall isn’t perfect, but something to consider when you decide to book.
We also scanned the perimeter and found some of the fencing to be less secure than other parts. Some of the fencing was leaning, some of it was lower (like 3 feet) and I think there was even a small gap in the back. Given the dogs we have, I was nervous the entire time and had to follow them around.
I also think dogs can get under the house. I’m not sure if they can go underneath it all the way, but when our hound gets hot, he looks for shade and we caught him trying to go under the house.
- hard to follow our dogs. We loved the wooded aspect, but for some reason I thought the main path extended farther than it did. You could walk it for a minute, and then you had to choose which way into the woodsy part you wanted to go. Our dogs love going into the ferns, palms, and as deep into the woods as they could. However, it was hard for me to follow them into the woods, so I spent lots of time listening for movement and hoping they didn’t move from where I thought they would be.
- bugs. You’ll definitely need bug spray. We only walked through a couple spider webs, but the mosquitoes loved us.
I think that’s the feedback we have. This place is wonderful and peaceful, and great for so many dogs! It was just difficult for me to enjoy the space with our dogs needs, so I hope this review helps others make an informed decision.Jenna S.

55Great sniffspot! This was our first time using Sniffspot and we were very happy! Our dogs were in heaven running around this property. We did a same day visit (scheduled less than 2 hours out) and had no issues. There wasn’t any water readily available for the dogs but I texted Tim who promptly replied and was happy to share how to turn on the hose (they were not home so completely understandable!).
Only advice would be if going late in the evening to bring bug spray! Typical Florida! Will return again! LOVED IT! Stephanie A.
