Almost an acre of pastureland overlooking Jacoby Creek Valley for dogs to sniff, roam, play, and most of all be off leash and in nature. Come with your dog alone or bring some friends and dog pals (up to 6 total) to romp and chase and play while you relax. There are some toys and obstacles, water, and lots to dig. Please bring your own balls. There may be cattle in the adjoining field below, occasionally deer though rarely in the daytime. Chairs are set for a pastoral view, particularly lovely at sunset. People and cars may go by on the driveway. The spot is all yours when you are there and with respect to reactive dogs, I won't greet you unless we set that up in advance. I want the dogs to feel that this is their space and we won't intrude. If your plans change you can cancel or reschedule up to 2 hours prior to your reservation through the app but it does not allow changes after that. Please no smoking or using while visiting. Enjoy!

Excellent place to come and enjoy time with your pup! Perfect spot for pups to roam and get their energy out or chill and relax under tree on lazy day. (:

This Spot has all you could ask for and is in a great location. Lots of grass, toys, smells, shade, sun. Easy parking and gray fencing.

10/10 experience. I was never worried about my escape artist finding a way out of the fence and all three of my dogs completely pooped themselves out. They were too busy with all the smells that they didn’t even notice all the great toys! Super clean and everything was well marked. I wish something like this was available years ago for my fearful and sometimes reactive dog who can’t enjoy a regular dog park. We will definitely be coming back soon.

We didn’t get to actually visit due to a sudden down pour. But we did drive past and the spot looks absolutely perfect and Rebecca was so sweet about the whole situation. We will DEFINITELY be going and enjoying her spot.

I had the pleasure of checking out a local private ‘Sniff Spot’ over the weekend. It’s located in the Bayside area. It’s a lovely property, fenced in for owners to bring their dogs to run off leash. The owner Rebecca has created a safe environment in a very pastoral setting. She is very friendly and kindhearted. We had a great time! I highly recommend it! - Laurie Hanly

This is the first time I've ever used sniff spot, I'm impressed!! I will probably be back on a regular base weekly at least during the time the weather is nice. We arrived and parked on the left side, At leashed up Milee, and entered on the right side where the gate is, lots of toys water for the doggies, there's a pooper scooper 😉 Rebecca was very sweet and introduced herself as she is the host. She explained that she's going to Grass up the area for it to be more welcoming for doggies I just think having a acre + to run around for an hour is perfect! There's a nice place for the humans to hang out while the dog goes get their smell on. Lots of area to smell 😍!!! Milee gives this place 10 star, unfortunately five star is the maximum 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩!!

Very pleasant location with secure fencing all the way around. My wife and I enjoyed a very pleasant hour sitting under the walnut tree watching our dogs play and sniff about as well as a beautiful view.

Came back from an 8hour drive with my dog, so she more than deserved to enjoy some ball and smell new things. My dog not only had a good time but it is truly such a perfect and beautiful place to capture peace and collect yourself. My favorite spot.

Nice secure fencing, beautiful view, great parking. Well organized area with clean up scoop and bucket, toys, balls, and a Chuck it. Shady area to sit. Flat area with more sloped grounds. Definitely wear sturdy shoes. My dog was very happy to sniff everywhere and run. We heard but did not see a neighbor dog barking. Rules are clearly posted on the fence and on the app. We will book another visit soon.

Beautiful afternoon! I have a 15 year old dog and a five year old dog, so the older one can sniff and relax and the younger one can run around exploring. And I can sit in the sunshine.

Rebecca’s spot has everything you need! Large space, completely fenced in, toys, & water! I’m a dog sitter/walker & I’m looking forward to utilizing the space for clients with different needs! 10/10 🐶

I picked up a number of piles of poop around the area. It would be nice if people were more considerate. Otherwise, Zeke really enjoys being there. Thank you for hosting.

My dogs loved it here! The cows were fairly close to the fence when we arrived so just a heads up to other reactive pet owners! They were scared off pretty easily and weren’t a problem the rest of the time. Beautiful property and the perfect outlet to get out your dogs energy. I’ll be back for sure!

Such a nice place for a dog to be a dog. And a great place for off or on leash training. We will be back!

This Sniffspot is awesome. I have two large dogs and they love it. The host is professional and answers text questions quickly. There’s toys, a picnic area, and a few pieces of equipment for the pups to play and experiment with. There’s fresh water and tons of greenery to sniff. This is the perfect place for high energy dogs that may not do well in a public dog park. I highly recommend.

Wonderful spot for the doggies to run and play! So much fun and gorgeous view. Thank you for sharing your special spot.

Visiting Rebecca’s Sniffspot was a wonderful experience. Olive settled in and enjoyed running around the space. She was a little too excited to play with the toys but she used the balance beam and loved sniffing all around. The space felt secure. She especially enjoyed watching the cows(!!) come into view (a great training opportunity for us and she passed with flying colors). There was a neighbor cat on the fence that Olive unfortunately chased but it escaped with no harm done. Communication was wonderful throughout and we can’t wait to return.

Omen and Flicker give this spot 5 tail wags 🐾 Rebecca is a kind and gracious host who has put a lot of thought into her space. The space itself is fully fenced. There's dog water and a communal toy bin for visitors to use. The space is clean and well maintained. We look forward to our next visit!
