Dogs had a great time exploring the yard. Definitely a steep walk down so wearing good shoes is recommended.

We had such a lovely time in Linda’s beautiful yard today. My dog loved the space and she loved Linda. My dog is timid with strangers and she took to Linda so quickly. Linda is gentle and very hospitable. She was very considerate and sensitive to my dog’s needs. We’ll definitely look forward to returning!

My 3 dogs (2 labs & 1 boxer) had a wonderful time at Bodhi’s Beach Ball Place. There were a ton of toys, a huge yard to run around, bowls for water, shaded areas to sit & relax. A great time was had by all. The dogs got tired out pretty quickly, but the shaded area was lovely to cool off. Thank you Julie for hosting us. I have some happy tired pups.

We loved how well tended and clean the yard was. We loved the faucet so I could hose down my dog when he got too hot. Loved the disposable bowls for water to keep mosquito larvae at bay. Great place to visit.

Julie’s backyard was the perfect place for my pup and his friend to play. There were toys and water available for them, along with a nice shaded area for all of us to cool down. Would love to come back!

A true GEM! Ivy was really happy running free around the yard. A very well-kept place where we felt safe! We’re planning to come often. Julie is a great host, and promptly responds to my messages here. Thank you so much, Julie!

This is such a great space! Plenty of grass for our two dogs to run around — plus lots of shade when they wanted to rest. Our pups also enjoyed exploring the hilly area in the back of the yard. The space was very clean and had great fencing. One of the best Sniffspots we’ve visited, and we’ll definitely be back!

Fantastic yard for dogs! My golden retriever got to run free on fresh grass and enjoyed sniffing his way around the landscaped perimeter which was fence-safe and full of delightful new smells. Julie's backyard caters to dogs big and small with lots of toys and comfortable seats in the shade. Thanks- we will come again.

This was my first time using Sniffspot, and it was perfect! We had private access, a beautiful yard for my dog to run around, and even a steep hill to climb. We LOVED it!

Both my energetic pup and my friends' senior pup had a great time! Great grass area to play fetch and a nice hill to explore :)

My grandpup Tito and I had an amazing time at Bohdis Beach Ball Party Place! I wanted to find a place where we could have some quality time playing uninterrupted fetch and relaxing together. Bohdis yard is larger than I expected and PERFECT for some fetch. The porch is an outdoor living room; the host went out of her way to insure all the dog necessities were readily available, and creature comforts were there for us humans to rest for a bit. Tito and I will definitely be back during our monthly get togethers.

Great space! Very quiet, peaceful, and clean. My dog enjoyed all the toys and loved running on the grass.

Bohdis beach ball party place and their host were so amazing! It was the perfect size for us and our dog to let him run around, be free, be curious, and just lay around. Their place was very nice, very clean, and just great all around. I definitely recommend this spot for dogs of all activity levels. Nothing but great things to say about this place.
