15So overgrown that it wasn’t safe for my dog. Abandoned bus..etc. I got chiggers immediately. Was like a jungle. We left in less than 5 minutes
35Couldn’t stay longer than 10 minutes due to the amount of mosquitoes. Water bowl had not been cleaned and the water was yellow.
55This spot is an absolute must for dogs that would rather sniff than chase a ball :-). Don’t let the yard size listing fool you. It’s really quite big for a sniffer. Great spots to sit also. Unfortunately I chose the wrong time of day as my dog can’t stand the heat. There’s tons of shade so I was fine. We will def go again.
55This place is a beautiful woody oasis near the city. I love that the pups can explore in large bushes and get “lost” in the “wild” but still be in a fenced in area. Super great for dogs that love to explore and use their nose. There was a water dish and a hose, a fire pit with chairs. It was perfection!

Fall 2024 Updates: With the rainy weather mushrooms may be present, we do our best to dispose of them but if you see them don't let your dog eat them as they can cause GI upset or be harmful. It's also acorn drop season and our large oak tree is dropping a lot of them. Acorns are not safe for dogs to eat. If your dog likes to eat stuff our yard might not be the best fit during this season. We want our pup friends to have a safe fall. 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. (No dogs live in the yard with the chain link but there are visible dogs two yards over) 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) 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. 🍃 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.
