55Great place to do a variety of different activities with your pups. I brought puppies to expose them to new textures and objects, this was perfect for what these pups needed! Water, toys, and poop scoop were provided along with instructions everywhere. Will definitely be back!! Lauren H.

55Our pups had a great time! The space isn't as big as advertised as half the Sniffspot is a steep hill, but our more athletic dogs had a great time playing fetch running up the hill. The terrain was very dusty and ended up caking on our furry dogs, but we bathed them when we got home. This Sniffspot has a ton of amenities, like a self-service dog wash and a 2 feet deep pool. The trampoline and playground was super fun for the humans, and there's plenty of seating. There is also access to a hose so the doggos can have plenty of fresh drinking water. Overall, I liked this place for the proximity to my apartment and the fair price. I got bit by some bugs but that's to be expected as the weather gets cooler. We'll be back!Jenny P.

55This was our first time visiting a sniff spot and my dog Watson enjoyed it! Itβs clear they put a lot of thought into the space. He especially appreciated the misters and selection of balls and toys.Kristina C.

55this is our 3rd time at this sniffspot, and Cindy is the BEST. From the start Cindy communicated before and through the time we were there when we asked questions. The backyard, as always, looks great. Since the last time weβve come, there is now a little pool area which we used, it was clean and super fun for our dog. After playing and swimming we then gave our dog a bath, which shampoo, brushes, and towels (plus more), were provided. We saw a contractor, but we knew he was going to be there because prior to us coming she let us know, and even offered to have him take a break so it doesnβt bother us. I said it was okay and truly only saw him maybe 2x. Again a HUGE thank you to Cindy and her beautiful, fun sniffspot. Definitely recommend to anyone! Brook F.

55After countless time coming to this place, it is still as good as the beginning. Even though I have looked around to see if there's anything different just for the change, I haven't found anything like this place. This place is totally for dogs, and if you have reactive dogs like some of mine and you worry a lot like me, you'll find peace here and my pups are happy. They are always looking forward to come here since they jump in the car. The host is wonderful as well which make the whole deal a 5 star spot! Estefania K.

55This spot was easy to access with lots of signs to direct you to the correct side of the house. I would take care going down the steps, and definitely release your dog after the second gate, before going down the steps haha. Also, consider adding the bath after if your dog has long hair due to the dirt and dust.
It is a wonder spot! My dog and his bestie loved it so much, they ran around, experienced different textures and surfaces (the in ground trampoline and playground), and loved the ball pit and stick library. It was honestly so enjoyable for us humans too. Will definitely return! Thank you! Mary D.
