Spacious backyard, enough room for my dogs to run fast and in circles! The parking is a huge plus. This is a new neighborhood spot, so bring your dogs and some older toys to leave behind as we build up this sniffspot!

This was awesome! We took our husky to go play in the snow. We wanted to take our doggo to a fenced in area to let her run and play. We forgot to bring toys, but the host had left a bunch on the table for us to use! We had so much fun. I love it. Will be coming again tomorrow if there’s still snow 🤓🥸 additionally when they found out we were coming (20 minute notice) they went and dug us out a path to walk around inside the back yard. Very nice! Thank you!

My dog and I had a wonderful time at Alyssa’s. He found a few favorites from the basket of toys left on the picnic table for us and of course he chose the noisy squeaky ones! Fresh water in a clean doggie bowl and a thoughtful bottle of water for me were very considerate. My boy got a little nervous and barky with unfamiliar noises at the end of our visit so I hope we didn’t disturb anyone. Thanks for sharing your spacious yard, Alyssa!

I absolutely love Alyssa’s spot and happy we got a membership with her! My reactive pup is always so happy to pull up her driveway for an hour of running around. This morning was particularly cold and she even had out a blanket and hot cocoa! It was so nice to have a host that goes the extra mile to ensure both human and pup feel right at home!

Uncle Fester was worn out in the first 15 minutes! Hailey’s Backyard was awesome - it was very spacious, well kept, and was perfect for Fester to run around and play. He will be sleeping like a baby tonight - us too!

Had a great afternoon in Alyssas spacious back yard! She had a pool setup and plenty of toys for the boys to play with! Baloo and Morty absolutely love tennis balls and water so we had everything we needed for an afternoon in a shaded yard with a pool to keep cool. I 100% recommend coming by and enjoying what Alyssa has to offer with her yard.

My dogs and I enjoyed our return visit to Alyssa’s yard this morning. It was quiet and shady. My dogs had fun running, sniffing, and playing with a ball. Owner has a pool, water bowl, balls and other toys, and bug spray for the humans. They had a long nap when we returned home. That’s when you know they had fun!

I really enjoyed coming here with my dog. It’s a beautiful backyard! Alyssa was very kind. We will definitely be coming back sometime!

Can not say enough good things about this spot! The host is amazing. Super welcoming, had an array of toys, kiddie pool, and even put out water for me! Quiet neighborhood but next door neighbor does have a pup, it’s a pretty private fence so my boy did great even with hearing the pup on the other side. I will most definitely be back! Thank you for this spot for my pup!!

As a local dog trainer I used Alyssa’s Sniff Spot as a play date location, and we had a wonderful time! Alyssa was so communicative, welcoming, generous, and kind. The spot had toys, a fun hose and kiddie pool, and plenty of room to play. The deck with baby gate was an added bonus, helping us to introduce the dogs easily. We can’t wait to return!

This was a great place for my girl to spend her birthday. Alyssa was an awesome host and very thoughtful, there were water bottles, puppy bathing supplies readily available, toys, a can of "off" for humans but we didn't need it during our visit and plenty of yard room for our 1 year old to exercise her legs!!! The host is responsive and I'll definitely be using this sniffspot in the future.

Backyard was spacious and hosts were accommodating. Our dogs had a blast fetching the provided toys and splashing in the kiddie pool.

Nice quiet spot with lots of space to run and explore. Very safe and secure. Beautifully maintained yard. Nothing dangerous for dogs to get into. Sun and shade and comfy chairs. My dog and I had a Blast!

What a great spot! Our 2 dogs really loved being able to run to their hearts content. The yard was big, there were toys and a water dish, everything you needed for an hour of off leash fun. For those who have dog reactive dogs, there is a large dog next door ( who basically ignored our 2 ), overall a fantastic spot!!

Hailey was a great host! Friendly and easy to communicate with! Yard is well shaded, and the bug spray was appreciated given the extra bugs after the rain! My girls had fun; great yard for running around and ball chasing.

Close to forest hill drive and the city, the fence was very secure! Would love more available toys for pups to play with - but other than that, good spot for dogs to get some fresh air.

We had a lovely time! The yard is a great size for our crew to run around with their friends, and the water dish, bug spray, and poop bags were so appreciated!

The dogs had great time. It was great to see them run and play. We’re looking forward to doing it again. Thanks for leaving the water out for them.

Big fenced in yard that provided plenty of space for my city dog to run and Sniff. Mike is still super leash reactive so walks in my neighborhood can be challenging. This a such a welcome solution while we continue to work with his issues.
