Great yard for running and sniffing. Owners left out a bowl with water, in February! Was so thankful for the water! We left a ball and the owner found and returned it right away! Just great vibes here!

After trying a new spot that left me disappointed, I sent out an SOS to my past hosts and the SniffSpot community came through for me. Amy rescued me after leaving the other spot prematurely. Not only did she welcome me, she still got out poop bags, and water for me and my pup before we arrived. Love Amy's yard, and after we arrived I was able to relax, knowing that Amy has a safe, secure location. The neighbor dog came out to say hi, a gentle giant compared to Mickey. I did feel bad that her dog had to supervise from inside on such a beautiful day, but I will be forever grateful to Amy for giving me the peace and tranquility I needed today and plenty for Mickey to sniff, safely. Thank you!

Nice set up. Plenty of room to run around. Thank you so much! Muddy appreciated both of your big water bowls.

She was great!! Accommodated my three girls and I very last minute. We wanted to stay 1.5 hrs but two of girls are very reactive and there was a neighbor doggy causing them to stress and react so we cut it down to one hour. However, they had a great time!!

Great space and the dogs had a good time exploring. Some other dogs had left presents and it took a little "watchful stepping" but everything was good overall. The host was super friendly and accommodating, adjusting the time when I thought it was going to rain during our booked time. I was very grateful.

The area was large and nicely groomed! The only suggestion is a place to dispose of doggie bags. Otherwise we had a great time!

We had an awesome time! My dogs are a bit reactive and there was nothing around to distract them! The yard was huge, had many toys and she even filled up a pool for them!

The owner was super nice, gave us all of the info we needed ahead of time, and our pup loved the yogurt treat 😊

Good sized yard, well maintained. My dogs loved getting to run and splash freely and it was nice for us to take a dip too! Lots of seating and shade to relax while the pups chase new toys and smell new smells.

LOVE! The fence is a full 6’ privacy fence, yard is very clean, and the host is incredibly responsive and accommodating. There’s a ton of space for sniffing and sprinting around the yard. There were supplies and toys set out along with some snacks for us. The baby pool was also clean and full for us. Parking is very easy and the puppy portholes in the fence are absolutely adorable. Will definitely be coming back :)

Sarah is a great hostess! Atlas is a great host too! Spot was clean and secure. Sarah even had water and towels to clean muddy paws and toes.

The loveliest spot. The fence is very sturdy and secure. The visual barrier is great for dog reactive dogs like mine. I was running late and didn't get to grab any tennis balls or water for my pups, but those things were provided and it was very helpful. Super nice yard and super thoughtful host. Would definitely return!

Lisa R.

Her yard was amazing. She had so many things out for my dog to play with and use. I will be using again

This was my first time using this app and Sarah was absolutely amazing! She was very accommodating and had everything set out for us when we got there. Kringle had such an amazing time! It was so nice seeing him run around freely!

Clean, quiet, peaceful. Lots of room for zoomies and recalls! The slates in the fence might not work for very small dogs, but secure. Loved our visit.
