55It was our second time
55This host goes above and beyond! So many toys to choose from, homemade treats, and a little free library of dog gear. Our puppy is getting the hang of the agility equipment on her second visit, too!
55Plenty of room for my boy to run around and thankfully a place for me to sit down, lots of toy choices and if your dog is into agility there are jumps and weave poles, no gaps in fencing so it felt safe, so nice to have it all to ourselves, I’m older with no yard and need to find a way to give my dog a place to run, we would come back, it was our first time in a sniff spot, thanks sooo much!!
45We had a ton of fun playing on the agility equipment and with the bounty of different types of toys! Unfortunately, our puppy discovered how fun it was to go under the deck half way through, so we popped her on a biothane longline. I was warned about the deck in the description though! Just hoped she would ignore it. My only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is because I had to pick up a ~6 resident dog poops in the yard before my dog found them.
55The area is big and there are a lot of fun toys and agility courses for the pups!
55Nice yard, appreciated the shade!
55Fun spot with plenty to entertain my Aussie and her border collie (mix) friend. Clean, plenty of room to run, and sniff!
55easy to enter with everything our Dog, neighbor dog and parents needed or Wanted. Shade and sun with a dog pool that was appreciated on a hot day. We loved the toys and agility games.
55Nice to sit in the chair and relax while I throw the tennis balls. Dogs loved it!
55My dog had a great time! He loved the pool and all the available toys. The towel was especially appreciated as I forgot my own at home. We will definitely be back!

i will generally take my dogs out for an adventure or gate them away from the windows during your sniffspot. **if you book same day** while i'm at work, this might not be possible so my dogs might bark a hello! regardless, they are secure inside. you may be able to hear other dogs barking in the neighborhood; at this time, none of my immediate neighbors have dogs. please let me know if you'd like to set up a playdate with them, as they (and i) are other-dog and other-hooman friendly :)

Description

Fully fenced: 1 side privacy fence, 2 sides chain link, and one side with the house and gate. Place bagged poop in the small garbage bin. Please do not allow pups to dig or to enter the small separately fenced garden. Spring 2024 the yard is very tender with grass trying to recover from last year's drought, if you remember, it helps to throw "fetch" in lots of different directions to spread out the "wear and tear." Added FYI: Same day bookings will probably have the bedtime and morning 💩 from my pups since I routinely only pick up after work during warm months. If you book 24+ hours in advance I can squeeze in an extra poo pickup before work. *WINTER I pick up weekly, weather-permitting, so might not be a great spot for pups who eat poopsicles--you know who you are!

Cleanliness

96% of guests said this spot was as clean as expected during their visit.

Hazards

Extras

Painting of your pup$50

Requires private message host to arrange sending a quality photo of your pup via email. Will need approximately 1 week notice to compete (so either book 1 week in advance or plan on returning in a week for pickup).
