55We are traveling from Kansas to Florida this was a great stop for the girls to stretch their legs. Lily is an avid ball chaser, who doesn't care where we go as long as she can take her tennis ball. Violet aka Dora the Explorer is all about the peremiter check sniff.... There was an impromptu dip in the pool, which we had not expected the girls to take, and we're unprepared as we are traveling. Our host graciously provided towels. Both girls give their tail wags of approval and thanks for hosting.Edward & Jessica P.

55Lovely spacious backyard. Located at the end of a quiet neighborhood, our dog had no distractions. There’s a pool available to cool off your pup for an additional charge. Rocky had a blast running around Laura’s backyard. Katia M.

55Super nice host, we loved the sign! We went at noon and I’d say about 1/3 of the yard was shaded, so that was nice. If my pup liked water, the pool would have been great! Will be back again. Isabelle B.

55Our dogs had an amazing time at Laura’s sniff spot! The yard is beautiful and clean, a refreshing and clean pool, and thoughtful touches like a box of toys, treats, and welcome sign for our babies. We will definitely be back :)Sunni M.

55This is the Perfect backyard to let your dog safely romp in! The fence was one of the most, if not the Most, secure fencing I’ve encountered. I always do a walk around perimeter check with my pup still on the leash and this fence passed with flying colors! Easy to find with parking directly in front, we will for sure be back! Thank you!!!

55Reese and Remmy love coming here! It’s spacious enough that they can ware themselves out but also not so big that I ever loose sight of them. It’s backed up by trees and a big chunk of land and the pups love watching the birds and and squirrels play in the trees. Plus the host leaves snacks out for pups AND people. Bonus for me 🤗Abigail L.

55Such a great spot! I have a large rescue dog and can’t take him to dog parks. This has been such a great alternative for him to get out his zoomies. It’s clean and quiet, and the fencing is secure which helps me relax and just enjoy time with my dog. Savannah L.

55What a wonderful space! The fence was high and very secure. The gate latched from the inside so there was no chance a dog can push it open. The owner was kind enough to be flexible with our arrival time due to impending storms and even had toys for the dog and water for both dog and human!Sara C.
