55My dynamic duo had a blast at this private doggie paradise! They chased, fetched, and frolicked like there was no tomorrow. The yard was a playground of shade and sunshine, and my furballs were on a mission to wear themselves out. When they returned home, they were dog-tired in the best way possible.
The host Ingrid went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. The personalized welcome sign with my name and my pups written on it made it feel incredibly special—talk about a true VIP experience! And the thoughtful touches didn't stop there. Cold water bottles, an abundance of towels, disposable water bowls, and a fantastic selection of ball toys were all ready to go.
Although we skipped the pool, just having it there added a relaxing touch. It was a reminder of the ultimate pet paradise. My pups give it two enthusiastic paws up! 🐾 Sarita S.

55What an awesome Sniffspot. The host really makes it perfect. Cold bottled water for the humans, tons of toys for the pups, a nice pool and plenty of places for the pup to explore and play. This was our first Sniffspot and it could not have been more convenient and easy. Highly recommended & Arkoh had a great time!Darin & Nancy O.

55This spot is clean and easy to find and access following the directions. There is Sniffspot signage out front, and there was a sign welcoming us with our names (so cute) along with lots of clean toys, pooper scoopers and bins, disposable water bowls, cold bottled water, cups -- you can tell the host puts effort into making guests feel welcome!
There's a hose area near the gate to fill bowls or wash your dog, and I love that she has a sign cautioning that water initially comes out hot, as some people might not know this!
