55Lovely space with so many different smells! Our girl had an absolute blast here!
55Great yard with lots of natural areas for pups to sniff & explore. We appreciated the fresh water & treats too!
45Great yard with lots of places for dogs to explore… toys, water, treats… very hospitable! My two loved running around in off-leash heaven. ****PLEASE read the description about the place on the driveway side of the deck where the railing slats are 7” apart carefully. My two 20 lb dogs were able to slip through. Bigger dogs would not be able to. I should have been watching them in that area but I forgot about the description… my fault. All was fine but I wish I’d been more attentive.
55Cute spot! Marley had fun sniffing around and running through the trails.
55Great spot with lots of areas to explore. Hosts were kind and generous.
55My dogs had an awesome time!
55Amos says, "Figgy's yard is great! I had so much fun sniffing around, and there were lots of different trails and secret spots. I completely forgot about my mom and dad. (They were around somewhere, talking about all the cool plants and trees, I think.) Then Figgy came out, and we played a bit! I got so tired, I flopped next to the water bowl for like five minutes! Oh yeah, there were treats, too! It was a great time, and I hope my people take me back!"
55Our dogs had so much fun exploring Figgy’s yard! There were a lot of areas for sniffing and lots of room to run. We will definitely be back!!
55Great backyard! Leah was kind of enough to provide water for my fur baby, treats, toys, and bug spray for the humans 😂. I would 100% recommend.
55such a fun play date with Figgy this morning -leah is very caring and friendly and Mellie loved her visit - beautiful and spacious yard for them to run - and a lovely Mellie portrait - would love to visit again soon / thank you 🐶😊 Thank you

We will keep our dog in an interior room as long as we're home or know in advance you are coming. If you are interested in a doggie play date, let us know prior to making your booking so we can coordinate a time. Figgy can be barky until she meets her next best friend and then is pretty laid back. She is a 35 lb labradoodle and is not at all aggressive, but can sometimes display dominance behaviors, especially with smaller dogs.

Description

Dogs love my sniff-tastic space! I hope you'll visit my large, fully enclosed half-acre yard. It has everything a pup could ask for: an open clearing for zoomies or game of fetch, shady woods and nooks and crannies to investigate, SO MANY critter sniff trails, and dirt, leaves and grass to dig in! It's also a great space for humans of all sizes to explore! You can even try your hand at a game of bocci ball while you're here in our gravel court! Easy side-street parking on Kamankeag makes accessing the yard through the back gate a piece of cake! *OUR FENCING IS NOT SUITABLE FOR VERY SMALL DOGS OR ESCAPE ARTISTS.*

Cleanliness

100% of guests said this spot was as clean as expected during their visit.

Hazards

This space is semi-naturalized so you and your dog/s may encounter such potential hazards as poison ivy, ticks, loose logs/sticks, thorns, sweet gum balls, bees/wasps, etc. Please note that we do have two open compost bins, but we make every effort to never place onions or grapes/raisins here to keep all of our dogs safe. Typically, our dog doesn't pay too much attention to the bins.

We moved here partly because we love the huge wild backyard and proximity to Cheswick Park. We added a fence for our dog and are excited to share the space with you! All are welcome! 🙂♥️🌈🐕

Fall 2024 Updates: With the rainy weather mushrooms may be present, we do our best to dispose of them but if you see them don't let your dog eat them as they can cause GI upset or be harmful. It's also acorn drop season and our large oak tree is dropping a lot of them. Acorns are not safe for dogs to eat. If your dog likes to eat stuff our yard might not be the best fit during this season. We want our pup friends to have a safe fall. If you post a photo with your first or next review we'll give you a free visit promo code! (one time only) 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. (No dogs live in the yard with the chain link but there are visible dogs two yards over) 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. 🍃 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.
