Cute little spot with lots of space.

My dog and I are visiting the thousand trails park in queen bee and she much needed a place to run around. Donalds yard and garden are beautiful! Lots of space to chase a ball. Beautiful garden. Very peaceful. And Donald is very quick to reply to messages. Couldn’t have asked for more.

I cannot say enough good things about this Sniffspot! Our dogs had an absolute blast playing here. The fully-fenced yard is very large and extremely well-kept. There are multiple seating areas for people, including large shaded areas. The hosts set out plenty of fresh water, a large water bowl, and treats for our dogs. They also set out water bottles, bug spray, and hand sanitizer for people. Remember to take your own poop bags and take them with you when you go, as I did not see a trash can for them. If you are camping or vacationing anywhere near Willis Wharf, the drive to this Sniffspot is well worth it for your dog(s). Thanks so much to the hosts and their own dog for an awesome yard they are willing to share!

Great location and really nice pool. The grassy area is not that wide because of the pool, but it was long enough to play ball and fetch. I'm trying to get my dog to overcome his fear of water and he wouldn't go in the pool, but I enjoyed it!

The space was awesome! Tons of shade and sun. Lots of spots to sniff. Not too much grass, but definitely just enough. My dog was iffy on the pool, but I had a blast trying to get him in it!

This was a perfect pool to start the process of teaching my dog to swim. It was accessible, clean and quiet. Very pretty view !The only issue had more to do with my poor eyesight in not seeing the house number which caused me to be late. This was my first time using SniffSpot, I would come back to this home . Mission accomplished : she swam!

Our visit went beyond my expectation. The area was open, the lounge chairs were located in a shaded area and the property is beautifully maintained. The ground surrounding the pool was not slippery, the pool was very clean and easy for my dog to get in or out. Thank you Kellie & Family for making your home available to our family.❤️

We hosted a puppy party for my pups birthday and this spot was super accommodating and the pool was lovely! The side gate was easy to identify and I will definitely be coming again to do swimming lessons with my youngest pup!

Very nice spacious backyard with areas of sun as well as shade, water was left out as well as ball and poop bags AND a treat 😊 All gates are solid and without escape areas. Host communication was quick. Resident dog could be heard as well as next door neighbor’s (not continually) but that was expected and described in this Sniffspot’s profile, so not a problem at all for mine. Loved our visit, thanks so much for opening your garden to us 🙏

This spot is very accurately described by Andrea. I did hear her dog in the house and a neighbor’s dog was out and running the fence while we were there, but the fence is constructed with no gaps between the slats to see the other dog, and my girl did not react to any of the barking. Great spot if you want to play hide-and-seek type sniff work with odors because there are lots of objects on which to hide the scents. My dog does a lot of cut-loose, straight line running when we go off-leash, and due to her size (lean build, GSD mix, ~23 inches tall, 43 lbs) this spot is not ideal for that. For a small dog, it could easily give a running work out. Even with that limitation, we had a great time with no risk of escape or intrusion. Thanks, Andrea!

Spot was very nice, clean and had a whole lot of balls for the doggies to play with. I’ve never seen my dog run so much and so fast as she was here. My dog doesn’t get to run since she is a runner and having a nice spot for her to run with a fenced yard was so nice. Will be returning again

This spot was awesome and it was our first time ever using Sniff Spot. Our 2 dogs didn’t know what to do with all that space and they absolutely loved it! If you have a barker like we do, the neighbors do have dogs that they let out during our visit but the privacy fence was perfect and it was a good chance for us to work on recall while all the barking and excitement was happening. Absolutely recommend this spot for anyone who has pups that need to run that energy out but don’t quite have the manners for a dog park.

This was our first time using Sniffspot and our girls absolutely loved this place! The yard is well fenced, clean and they provided poop bags, water and toys for the girls to use. They Went crazy the first 30 minutes exploring , sprinting and playing tag with one another. This was fun for us and the dogs and we can’t wait to come back in the future!

Surprisingly ginormous backyard for Oceanview area! It’s like three lots in one. Big bucket of ChuckIts my Border Collie appreciated. Will be back 100%!

Emma R.

November 2022

We loved coming here! It’s perfect for my 3 dogs who need the space to run long distances. I love the big privacy fence around the entire yard. The huge roll of dog poop bags next to the waste bin is so handy, but our favorite part was the big basket of chuck it balls accompanied by a chuck it stick! I brought my own chuck it and one ball, but I used a bunch of the balls provided too because 2 of my retrievers love to play fetch! Definitely one of our new favorite spots!!

FAQ about our Willis Wharf dog parks
