55Dogs loved it! Plenty of toys, fresh water, and a nice place to sit and watch my dogs play.
55Had everything we needed- toys, water and a beautiful yard to play. Thank you so much!
55Exactly as described! Lovely amenities to include fresh water, poo bags, and toys. Host was communicate and friendly!
55Nice spot!
55Very nice clean fenced back yard! Lots of space for pups to run and play! Owner is very nice and answers promptly! 10/10 recommend!
55My dog loved this Sniffspot!! She’s obsessed. There was a water bowl, poop bags, and a big rubber ball that she played with for almost the whole hour.
55One of my go-to sniffspots! There are always poop bags, fresh water, toys and treats as well. My dog loves to play here :)
55Great place! Appreciated having a nice shady spot for my older dog to lounge in while my younger dog ran around :)
55We had so much fun! The covered area was great since it was raining lightly and it wasn’t muddy. Stella also really enjoyed watching the ducks next door.
55My dogs and I enjoyed our first visit to this Sniffspot. The yard is good for sniffers and also for humans with a very nice sitting area, owner supplied water, etc. An extra bonus was the walking trails for leashed dogs.

Tentative hours: Monday - Friday 9 am - 6 pm. Saturday/Sunday mornings 8:30 am - 11 am We plan to stay open this winter but will be closed during inclement weather and if the ground is wet to protect our lawn and prevent muddy spots. Hot drinks (tea and hot chocolate) come standard with visits on days below 45 degrees. Stay warm! Hi! I'm Alyssa, a rescue dog owner with a ~1/3 acre yard perfect for your dog to enjoy! We have a mix of gardens, grass, mulch, and leaf areas great for sniffing and playing fetch and a bin full of fun toys and treats. We have a special basket of small dog toys upon request. We provide cold water for humans, bug spray, and hand sanitizer. We spray our yard every 5 weeks with a natural oil mix to help reduce mosquitos, fleas, and ticks. Reactive dog owners should note that our neighbors on both sides have dogs that may or may not be outside during your visit. They are all friendly but will probably bark to say hello or run the fenceline with your dog. (No dogs live in the yard with the chain link which is newly covered). I recommend leaving your dog on a leash to walk the yard perimeter and ensure they're ok with neighbors' dogs. We provide a bucket of extra treats to help with training and distraction. Our girl loves a "sniffari" where you hide treats around the yard to sniff out. ⭐️ Important notes ⭐️ 🐶 All dogs must be FULLY vaccinated (Rabies, Parvo, Bordetella, DHPP, Lepto encouraged) Please do not book unless you are sure your dog has all their shots. Puppies less than 4 months old that are still building up vaccines should stay at home. 🐕‍🦺 Dogs MUST be leashed when entering and exiting the yard. Our neighbor across the street has a few outdoor cats we want to keep safe and our neighbors walk their dogs on the street. 🍃 Please do not let your dog eat or chew any of the plants in the yard. No excessive digging. 🌻 Please do not enter the gated garden area on the other side of the house. We keep our quail coop and turtle enclosure in this area and don't want them startled. Feel free to look in from the gate though. Per Sniffspot's rules, no alcohol is allowed, and please no smoking. 🚩 We reserve the right to ban any guests who break these rules.
