55This spot is lovely — shade and sun, places to sit, room to run. Host was communicative and considerate, even tho she was dealing with a family emergency during my last minute booking. Very much appreciate this spot and hope to return.
I only mention this next part for pup parents with particularly reactive dogs: there was a large-sounding dog directly on the other side of the back fence (where it is lowest), who barked most of the time we were there. My boy is *super* reactive, but we were able to use this as positive training/play time because he arrived very relaxed and had time to settle in before the other dog started barking. Not sure if the other dog is occasional or regular, but just wanted to mention for pups who may be impacted by that in their visit. I wasn’t worried about my dog getting out of the yard at all though. It felt very secure for my 37lb medium boy.
Overall, I highly reccomend this spot and am grateful for it!Shaun A.

55My foster dog had a great time running around! There was a very helpful sign on the fence, and it was easy to get in. Found a parking spot on the same block. Inside there was a bin for clean tennis balls and one for used, which was very thoughtful! The water bowl was clean and it was easy to refill from the hose. There was a nice deck with a table and chairs in the shade. Had a lovely run, thank you!Michelle D.

55Our visit was at 5pm and I was able to find parking near the house just fine. The gate was clearly labeled with the Sniffspot logo so we knew we were in the right place. My Bonnie had fun exploring and sniffing around the yard, getting acquainted with the other dogs that have visited before her. It's a very nice, safe space and we plan to visit again.Rina A.

55Had a great time, overall a perfect spot! Easy access with the sign on the gate, plenty of street parking, great yard for a dog who needs to run, clean balls available, hose and water bowl available. Small patio area to sit on and lots of open grass and very clean and tidy. We were there at 10 am on a weekday and the space was part shade part sun and the neighbors were quiet. There were a few bumble bees so if you’re allergic perhaps bringing an epi pen would be good. Gusty M.

55A sweet urban spot with enough room for bursts of activity, whether running around or playing catch! Clean tennis balls are provided plus a nice sitting area where you can watch the hummingbirds sip nectar from the feeder (a nice touch) and hang out with your tuckered out pooch! Carla D.

55We brought our two dogs for an hour visit!
Yard was clean, well kept, clear instructions on how to enter and respect the space.
(Didn’t have any issues with burrs which were in a few pervious reviews)
Balls, ropes and water available on-site, though we opted to bring some from home too.
They primarily enjoyed sniffing around and a short bursts of zoomies ☺️
10/10 will book again!
Thank you for sharing your space, sincerely two hyper doggos who don’t have a backyard ❤️Michalla M.

With Sniffspot all bookings are private for just you and dogs you bring with you and we require all dogs to be vaccinated (or have equivalent titers). All Sniffspot locations are vetted and reviewed by guests so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits are 5 stars.
