55So fun! The owner was so helpful, she noted that with the warm temps and the previous snow it would be muddy and offered a refund if I were to cancel which was SO thoughtful. We love the mud so we still went and had so much fun. What a great time Audrey L.

55This was a great place for a dog to run free! The yard was very large with lots of things to sniff. The yard is very long so if your dog likes to play fetch as much as mine, there is a long distance to throw a ball! I didn’t see any places in the fencing where dogs could get through. Overall, it was an exceptional place!Scott L.

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.
