55Luna enjoyed running around the yard, playing with the toys and cooling down on the grass. There were lots of toys to play with and we brought a few of our own. The host allowed us to bring our doggie pool and she provided us a towel which was much appreciated. The yard has plenty of shade as well and is very quiet and clean, with no visibility to neighbors so very good for a reactive dog. Thank you! Diana V.

55Pepper's play yard was amazing. My dogs loved the yard, it was so clean and nice and not too big but not too small! My pups also loved Pepper and got to play with her and had a blast. The hosts were so nice and brought more water out for the pups as well. Really enjoyed Peppers play yard💕Olivia J.

55We had the BEST time! Pepper's sniffspot was very cool and shady. We brought our throwing stick and ball, but they had some toys there. There were water bowls and a note from Pepper. Easy to access and we would definitely go back. Barbara S.

55Wonderful all grassy yard with shade trees and interesting little places for dogs to sniff. Not a huge yard but more than enough for a dog and friends to chase and play. Chairs to sit under canopy. Hosts are very nice and considerate. Definitely 5 stars.Barbara S.

55This was such a nice grassy yard for my dog to play catch on. Long enough for her to stretch her legs and run! Toys and a towel (to wipe off her paws. Sprinklers had been on before our arrival and it was actually great for my dog as it cooled her down) were provided. Easy access to the back through the garage. Hosts were gracious and easily accessible during the hour through the app. Karine C.

55Great yard for our pups' first meeting (We're rescuing a bulldog). Plenty of shade, green grass and toys to play with! Lori provided water and a wonderful seating area under cover for the people. Can't recommend this SnuffSpot enough!!Genea K.

55Great safe space for the pups to sniff around and explore! Lovely green space with a tropical setting feel. I spent time under the canopy finishing up work on my laptop while my two dogs spent time roaming around.Jennifer N.

55Our first time using Sniffspot. And Pepper’s play yard was a great first experience for our two pups. Water bowls and toys provided, spacious area more than enough for them to play, chase, explore and roam. We will definitely be back again soon! ☺️🐶Pearlynne R.

55This home is in Rancho Bernardo and should not be listed as San Diego. Long drive for us in the east county. The Yard is fun for the dogs and I wish it were closer. Water is available and the hillside is an extra treat. Lovely shade and a table to sit at too.Theresa F.

55What a FANTASTIC experience! I was a bit nervous about trying sniffspot, but this was a great location! I wasn't sure if I should do 30 minutes or an hour but I am so glad I did an hour. Thank you to Cindy and family - such a hospitable space with directions, toys, lighting for dusk (and dark if needed) and the hill was an awesome energy-buster. My dog is a curious explorer and tested all the boundaries but she wasn't able to get out. Thank you! *The picture is of our dog at the end of the time - she had so much fun she didn't want to go home and get into the car!!Linsey W.

55Totally loved this spot! Our dog had the best time running around and sniffing everything. Could hear dogs barking in the distance but far away enough that our reactive dog didn’t have any problems with them. We also went when it was dark and they had it all lit up so we could see the entire backyard. We will definitely be coming back! Kelly H.

55Everything was exactly as described, including a few additional items. Water in two dog bowls was ready for our arrival, a box of tennis balls for playing fetch, and a container of tug toys which our dog was happy to enjoy. We didn’t have kids with us but if you’re a parent with a dog and kids, the kids would enjoy the space too as there’s a jungle gym type set up with a slide and swings too. There’s also a metal dips/abs workout station. So if you need some fitness yourself while your pup is running around and sniffing, it might work for you! Lastly, Cindy responded quickly to any question we had. Will return again! Lovely view of the canyon behind as well. Cheers. Jason S.

559.5/10!!! This place was amazing! My dog immediately ran and sniffed everything, he had a blast at this spot. His favorite part was definitely the bin full of balls. At one point he took out so many balls that he forgot which one we were playing with, hilarious! Very friendly and understanding owners. The only complaint I have is the bugs but it's really not that big a deal. We went later in the evening and it was already dark, a couple invisible mosquitos were out and bit me when I took a break to sit down on their comfortable patio furniture. For my dog it was an amazing experience, we booked an hour and the whole time he played, sniffed, ran, and had a great time. We will 100% be back! janeth g.

55This is probably one of our favorite spots. The hill was great for the dogs to run up & down, there were plenty of toys to play with, water bowls & even a little pool with a hose. It was an extra nice touch that towels were provided bc my dogs def got a little muddy. The playground & trampoline setup is amazing & I’ll definitely be back with my kids. Thanks so much again!!!!!Madison N.
