55We had a wonderful visit to Caren’s property. She is a lovely host and provided everything our dogs could need for a fun time. We will definitely be back. This is a great location for any reactive dog that can’t go to group settings but still needs the chance to run and play freely. Definitely recommend. 🌟Jamie C.

55Additional review to my previous message as I had mentioned I spotted 2 small gaps that my little terriers would have squeezed themselves through if on hot pursuit of a critter, was rectified by the kindest of all hosts, Caren and her husband! They went out of their way to make sure my pups were safe to have fun, not to mention my emotional state! I can't thank these wonderful people enough!!gemma B.

55Caren was so sweet and very informative about the spot! This is my first time using sniffspot and she made it so smooth to use! The space was huge and very clean. The fencing was also done well and there were no visible gaps. Would definitely bring my dog back!Kassandra R.

55Always great to come here and let the dogs really stretch their legs. Caren always has plenty of fresh water for them to drink, and I love being able to drive right onto the field and let them out. Vickie C.

55We’ve been to this spot many times and Caren always goes above and beyond. She thoroughly cleans the water buckets for the pups and provides more than enough. There’s also so many toys and smells for the dogs to enjoy. And there’s a ton of shade and chairs for the humans. Would highly recommend this sniffspot to anyone, we’ve been to a lot of them and this one is by far the best! Chloe S.

55Caren was so sweet and generous!! It was our first time going anywhere on sniffspot, and I’m so glad we chose Caren’s! Our dogs got to run and play, and had access to lots of clean water!! We have never got to see them run in a huge field and they absolutely loved it, and it wore them out!! Definitely would go again!! Storm B.

55Wow! Incredible host and property. Tyson my Malinois felt right at home right away! Can’t say I have ever seen him so “in his element”. It brought tears to my eyes to see him thriving off leash. I cannot wait to come back early morning or late afternoon. He loved it even with the heat but yes, definitely be mindful of heat exhaustion as it does get much hotter out here than the coast. Can’t say enough GOOD! Fence condition was perfect, so many toys, and fresh cold water, even a bonus dunking tank for really hot days. Already excited for our next visit! Gracie M.

All Sniffspot locations are vetted and reviewed by guests so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits are 5 stars.
