So my wife and I were the first to ever rent this place and I'm glad we did. This yard is so big. Plenty of room for both of our huskies to get full speed. They absolutely loved it. There was also a fire pit which we will be sure to use next time. The owner and his wife were super friendly. We will definitely be going back more often now. Highly highly recommend.

Ray and his wife were wonderful! Large space with plenty of shade and space for the pups to run. I'll definitely be returning!

This spot has a rural feel in the middle of a busy area. I made a last minute appointment and when I arrived I was greeted by the host who is very friendly. The yard was clean, fully fenced, and safe. The super long yard was perfect for fetch with the chuck-it. We will be back.

Our Great Dane and Beagle had so much fun running and sniffing around the yard. It was clean, spacious, and quiet. We didn’t take advantage of the chairs that were available for us to use, but we appreciated that they were there. We hope to be back soon.

The host were so awesome and friendly. Our dog had a great time running around in their spacious yard. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND to anyone. Thank you so much again and we will be back!

Pros: Fantastic visit! The yard was large and had a few interesting features that I personally found aesthetically pleasing. Seats and a burn pit for those cold days/nights. Lots of space for the 3 dogs and adult child to run and frolic. Cons: Poop minefield. Not a lot but it was there. You can definitely tell the space is clean but you may find the random massive pile of poo. Check paws before you hop back in the vehicle! The four of us will definitely be back! Thanks for the hospitality.

We booked a visit from 7-8pm, ran a little late and got there at 710. By 730 my dog was exhausted. The yard was huge, I don’t even think she ran the whole length. We brought our own water but there were water basins available. Hosts were kind and didn’t mind my nosy dog peering thru their windows. 10/10 would recommend

10/10 the best spot I’ve been to so far. The hosts were so nice and my babies had a great time. Definitely will be back!

This was a great shady spot for our dog to celebrate his fifth birthday. There was plenty to sniff. The host left out a birthday card, water, toys, and chairs. There were some distractions but my dog did great in this environment.

Tamara S.

April 2023

This was our first experience with sniff spot and it was GREAT! The neighborhood is quiet and dog friendly, parking was convenient and close. The yard was fully fenced and very safe! The space was perfect for our two to play fetch with the Chuck-it. Lisa was super friendly and had plenty of water for the dogs and seating for two. We will definitely return!

Renee and her family were so sweet, respectful, and kind. They put ice in the water bowl for us and asked before allowing their sweet dog to join us halfway through. Would definitely come by again when I’m in the area.

Wonderful flat yard with a couple of dog toys and lots of room to run! Very safe with a nice high fence. I'm a wheelchair user and I let her know ahead of time that I am and she made sure that the gate was open for us. It was very easy to get on the property and around the yard, which can be tricky with a lot of properties when you use a wheelchair. Roxanne was super sweet as well and we loved getting to meet her. Me and my guys can't wait to come back!!

Easy to find home, easy access to the backyard and the renter is easily reachable and responds in a timely manner. I have a very high energy Pitt and she played with their zip line rope toy the ENTIRE time. Both dogs currently taking a nap :)
