55We had a wonderful time at Laura’s sniffspot! I took my golden retriever and my friend brought her corgi. We also asked if Laura’s rescue pup, Scooby-Do, wanted to join and he was a great addition to the fun! Laura was so kind, bringing water out for the dogs and humans, and was very communicative. The yard was big enough to play fetch with a big dog and was tons of fun for the dogs to explore and sniff around. Thank you, Laura! Looking forward to returning. Steffani S.

55This was a great spot, would book again! Linda does have 2 personal dogs, so when I informed her one of my dogs was not friendly she put her dogs in her bedroom to make sure they did not join my dogs in the yard. I appreciated the extra step to ensure both of our dogs safety and security. She made sure we had fresh water and offered us humans some water also. Very hospitable. Thank you! Cassie J.

55We loved our visit to Linda’s yard! There was plenty of space for the dogs to run around and sniff, and a fresh water bowl ready for them when we arrived. A small collection of various balls was on the outdoor table for our use. We were also able to use the doggie pool, which was a kiddie/wading pool. After some time for sniffing around and chasing a ball, Linda brought out her own dog, Scooby Doo, to play with our dogs. At the end, she generously provided towels for us to dry off our dogs. Everyone had fun! Janice C.

55Loved it! Lots of open space, places to explore and sniff, and shade. The fence was secure for little dogs (the fence is reinforced with wire). I have a little escape artist foster dog and he was secure in the yard. Very peaceful in the morning. Definitely will be back! Niki & Ben C.
