55This Sniff Spot is amazing and the host is even more amazing! The backyard is so spacious for my dog to get a great workout chasing the Chuck It ball. The thoughtful host leaves out sanitized water bowls, poop bags, hand sanitizer and other supplies. I have come here several times with own supplies but today I was pressed for time and couldn’t bring my own. So helpful the host leaves these out for her visitors ❤️ because they came in extra handy for me today.
55Spacious backyard for running around
55My girls had a great time!! Such a nice backyard perfect for doggies :) definitely booking again
55Great spot! The instructions were very clear and organized. Appreciated the sterilized water bowls and basket with supplies. Our dog enjoyed running after his ball on the spacious green grass. Lots of shade and comfy seats for the humans to sit on. Would definitely return. Thanks!
55This space is absolutely gorgeous & so much fun for doggos to run around & play! We wanted to introduce our dogs in a calm environment & this was the perfect spot! Marie provided a parking space, cleaning materials, a garbage can, toys, & even a space for digging! We will most certainly book again & appreciate her space so much.
55Very nice Sniffspot. Large yard with water, bowls and shade. Very responsive host. 
55Great spacious yard with thoughtful amenities
55Yard is secured and cared for. Even supplied with bowls/water, and towels (water sprinklers are an add on). My pitty, Riley enjoyed her time here for sure.
55Beautiful yard! Completely safe for my dog
55Amazing space for my 2 dogs! The lawn was big enough for them to have zoomies and play fetch. There were great amenities for the dogs and guests. There was a lot of shade for the dogs to rest when they needed a break. My dogs had a great time!

Description

This spot is undergoing repairs and we have limited availability through January. Too many workers and schedules, easier to close for a few weeks while work is done. Private full wooden fenced space on a quiet cul-de-sac. Huge back yard. Quiet and private. Please note the price of booking for a dog includes 2 adults, additional dogs added includes 1 additional adult at no extra charge. If you would like to share the spot with friends, please select the correct number of additional adults in the EXTRAS. The maximum number of adults at our spot is 8. The maximum number of cars is 2 at this time. Great for large dogs and sectioned for smaller pups too! We currently have no dogs or other pets, nor children. This is our private home. The space is open most of the day between 9am-8pm (Daylight hours). Summer grass areas are sunny and bright and begin to be shaded by the afternoon. Driveway Parking Please when possible. My neighbors prefer it. **BARKERS: My neighbors are starting to complain about excessive barking. If your dog is extremely vocal, this spot may not be the best choice. Normal and light barking is totally fine. I personally don't care, the barking doesn't bother me but I back up to neighbors on all sides. ((Especially if you choose morning or late afternoon hours) Digging is ok in the small fenced area to the right and water is available. Plenty of seating for humans. Host is usually on sight and works from home. Contact with host is optional.

Hi- My back garden area is mostly unused and very quiet and peaceful. No other dogs, no children. There is plenty of space to run and have fun for your dogs. Also a perfect spot for training. There is also seating areas for humans. :-) There are also very few other dogs in neighboring homes to cause a distraction. At a suggestion of a friend and dog trainer, I decided to list the space for a little extra to help with bills.

Private 2 Acre Forest Swimming Hole In Rural Woodside (Update: 7 stairs added)

This is a private, undeveloped, forested spot. If you are interested in this spot, you and your dog should be up for a mini adventure. This spot is not a manicured, backyard park. It is wild and beautiful, and a rare find in this area. THERE IS NO TRASH SERVICE AT THIS FOREST LOCATION. PACK EVERYTHING OUT WITH YOU, INCLUDING DOG POOP BAGGIES. The trail starts at the west (downhill) end of the parking spot, and winds downhill to the creek (there are a couple of switchbacks). The trail from the parking area to the creek is less than 5 minutes long. At the bottom of the trail, is a deck. Beyond the deck is a year-round creek with a swimming hole. There are fish, frogs, newts, and crawdads. All wildlife is protected, so please don't catch or remove them. You may walk up and down along the creek exploring, as long as you turn around if you see a waterfall downstream or a house in the distance. The trail that leads downhill to the creek is intermediate, not for beginners or flip-flops. There should be no poison oak or ticks on the trail, but if you venture off the trail, you may encounter poison oak or ticks. There are blackberry bushes to the sides of the trail that resemble poison oak. There should be no foxtails. You may see wild animals. As a wild spot, you may encounter typical hazards that are present in most local forest trails, such as wildlife, water, and trip-and-fall hazards. This is a private spot, and there should be no other people or dogs during your booking. If you see someone during your booking, please let us know as soon as possible, so that we can take steps to prevent them from trespassing again. There is no lighting at this spot, so if you book before sunrise or after sunset, please bring a headlamp or flashlight. There is no trash collection service at this location, so please pack out any trash. Thank you!
