*Meraki Paws N Play – Private Sniffspot Reservations
At Meraki Paws N Play, we understand that not all pets thrive in open play settings. That’s why we offer private one-hour Sniffspot sessions—a safe, secure space for your pet to enjoy without the stress of other dogs. This is especially helpful for dogs who need a controlled environment due to reactivity, medical conditions, or simply a preference for solo time.
