55The space was great. The yard is long enough that my dog could get some speed while running. We brought all kinds of toys but he was obsessed with any toy that's not his so he ran around chasing a chuck it ball and a rope toy. The space was great for my boy but he's 70 pounds. There is a small spot under the porch steps that a smaller dog could get under. It only leads under the porch so doesn't seem like an issue but I guess a smaller dog could go under and decide to not come out of being stubborn. My dog actually crawled in on his belly becuse he could see a ball. For us, it was just a win becuse it was another ball to play with. I don't live close but without traffic it's not far and since is only a short distance from the highway we will absolutely be back. Monica Z.

55My reactive rescue dog loved the backyard! It was well-fenced, roomy, and well kept. She was able to run and play with her friend with all the space.
We didn't see or hear dogs, which was good for both of them since they are dog-reactive. Would totally book again!Ariana Z.

55Great spot- Lola had so much fun running around and sniffing! I had booked last-minute so there were some poop piles around but Stacey was very communicative about not having an opportunity to check and made sure we had a good visit.Tiffany M.

55This Sniffspot was great! There were a few toys in the backyard that our pup loved even though we brought our own balls - there was more than enough room for her to run around and tucker her out. Will definitely be returning :)Cameron I.

55Amazing spot! It’s a huge open yard, very shaded even at noon. On a hot day it was perfect. We brought our own water but the dogs didn’t need it. They loved sniffing and crawling in the grass. I also walked the perimeter and the fence seems very secure and I didn’t see any poison ivy. We will be back!David A.

55This was a perfect spot for Quinn! It had plenty of room for him to run around and it came with a box of toys for him to choose from. Megan was very kind and offered me a chair to use while I was there. We would definitely come back again! Dominic L.

55Great big, well fenced space with a tub of toys and not a lot of potentially dangerous items around. Gus did a few sniffs around but I think he was looking for grass and all we had was snow! Very appreciative of the opportunity and very reasonable price!Jes B.
