55My pup very much enjoyed running all over the yard. There is a small berm that allowed her run up and down and explore the “hill”. We played hide & seek and I hid behind some of the larger bushes when she wasn’t paying attention. We felt very welcome and there were even little dog treats for her to enjoy. We would love to return. Christine T.

55This is the perfect spacious backyard for dogs! My dogs had a blast exploring and sniffing around. The backyard overlooks a trail or nature area and they loved listening to all the nature noises and nearby critter noises. The backyard is also on an incline which made it perfect to play fetch, the dogs had so much fun chasing the ball down the slope! They also had a pile of dog toys/balls that my dogs had fun picking and choosing to play with. Cathy and her husband were also very warm and accommodating. They left out fresh water and even a bowl of treats that my dogs gobbled up. She was also very responsive messaging prior to the visit. The yard was easy to access, you just go through the side door of the house. My dogs cant wait to go back, thanks Cathy for such a positive experience!Christine F.

55This was a pour second or third time at this sniff spot. My dog loves it, because there is enough room for her to run. Since the yard has an uphill at the back, she likes to run up and down. The yard is much greener now, from the rain. They put dog treats out on the table, and a bowl of water. There is seating for people at the table, under the covered patio. I might suggest that they pull up the shade on the patio, it will make it easier to see your doggo. Other than that, we really like this spot, and will be including it in our regular rotation.

55This was a return visit for us, and because of the recent rain the yard was beautifully green! Tangie had such a good time running through it, fun to watc. The yard is safe, fencing is secure, no major obstacles. They have set up a little stand with dog treats, pet wipes, and toys. If possible, perhaps a larger water bowl, only because long nosed dogs like ours don’t like to be confined. Regardless, we had a wonderful time, and will be back after the rain.Elys N.
