Such a wonderful spot. It’s an absolutely lovely yard with lots to do and sniff. Secure fencing, convenient parking, enough room to run, and the host kindly set up water bowls, kiddie pools, and even some treats. The host is responsive, helpful, and very kind.

Julia’s place was absolutely fantastic! My yorkie, Luffy, enjoys just running & doing his own thing. This spot had ample amount of space and a few areas to sit down for yourself. While we brought our own baggies, baggies were supplies for us as well as a yummy treat for my fur baby. There was also a little kiddie pool that he got to enjoy as well as water left out for him. I can’t rave about this place enough and it’s definitely somewhere we will be returning to for some more playtime. Thank you again, Julia, for the hospitality and great experience.

We had a great time! This was our first sniff spot so Zorro did A LOT of sniffing! The host provided some treats with a cute welcome note. There we so many balls and toys provided! The backyard was very large and perfect for running around! Zorro had an absolute blast!! We also got to work on our place cue with the provided cots. There was minimal barking from neighboring dogs but it was perfect if you’re working on training with minimal distractions. Definitely a 10/10 sniffspot! We can not wait to book again!
