55We had a great time romping around this spot! There was open space to run and wooded area to explore, and the fencing was tall and secure. Pamela provided all the extras we could need - balls, water, poop bags and even treats. We'll definitely be coming back!
The driveway and gate/entry area were quite icy (which we were warned about in advance, thank you), so be careful if you're coming during winter weather.Eryn P.

55Beautiful space, my dogs had a ton of fun romping around in the snow and running through the trees. Fence was secure and tall, which is great because one of my dogs has been known to jump shorter fences. Will definitely come again!Robyn S.

55My dogs had a blast playing chase and exploring! Pamela was a wonderful host. There were treats, poop bags, water, a chair to sit, and toys, and she even checked in on us afterward since one of my dogs rubbed one of her paws raw running and was bleeding some. Danielle W.

55We had a fabulous time at Jeff's place! I don't know if too many people come here right now because it seems to be off season, but it was the absolute perfect place to run my dogs for an hour on a cold day. Gorgeous neighborhood, huge yard, fencing was secure and I had no safety worries. Amanda M.

55We had a great time. We are away from home for a few days and our dog needed a place to run around. This was perfect! I had a few questions before and the host was very responsive. And he left water for Buttercup. The yard is securely fenced and we felt very comfortable letting her run free there. It was all around a great experience. I would definitely go back the next time I'm in the area.Elizabeth L.

55This was our first time trying Sniffspot out and it was a great experience. The host was very accommodating letting us arrive earlier, and the yard was nice and spacious! The host’s pups briefly barked from inside at the beginning, but were quiet shortly after. Our pup had a great time exploring and playing with a ball we brought with us. The shady spots were much appreciated too. We would come again if we’re ever in the area! Ava S.
