55This was our first time using sniff spot and my pup absolutely loved it and was so tuckered out on the drive home! The sprinklers she couldn’t get enough of- It was so good getting her out of the apartment and Kristen’s place was everything we’d hoped, she’s such an accommodating host and we’ll definitely be back again!Alexis M.

55This is a great space with real grass. My dog Zoe loved the pool and the new obstacle course and I like that she also provided water for the humans. It’s a very clean spot and we will definitely be back.Tadd L.

55So much to do! My dogs had plenty of room to run and play. There were so many different activities to try, we did a little bit of everything. The ball pit was my favorite. They weren’t interested in it at first, but after I sprinkled a few training treats in there, it became a fun foraging activity. They kept jumping in and out to sniff around! I can’t wait to visit this Sniffspot again as the weather cools down.Paige F.

55This spot rocks!! Lots of room to run and play and little activities too. Great seating for the humans and pretty string lights at night. Easy access and the host is wonderful. The neighbors have dogs but they only barked a couple of times, no big deal. Bring your pup here and enjoy!Katelyn L.

55Lots of toy options for the dogs and grass area. The bug spray came in handy for the mosquitos. Plenty of water for the dogs and humans to drink. Outside patio light was nice to have when it started to get dark. Bianca R.
