55This was great for our two lab mixes! We felt the area was super secure and well maintained. We brought our own toys, but there were plenty provided by the owner. Great experience and we look forward to bringing them back again soon! Morgan R.

55I (and my dog Ari!) absolutely love this place - it is close to home but feels like it is totally out in the country. The wide-open space is excellent for frisbee, ball throwing & all the running Ari can handle. Kirsten C.

55Travis is responsive, accommodating, and friendly. The property is well secured and features lights along the perimeter of the fence for better visualization at night. We will definitely be back!Hannah T.

55My favorite sniff spot in the area! The fences are so secure, I never have to worry about my dogs getting out, and there's plenty of room for them to run. They had a great time today!shelby y.

55Nice large area!! The house is away from this separate fenced in area so perfect for shy dogs who wouldn't want a house in the yard. Also for privacy. The neighbor had a little dog come up to the fence and he was so sweet and cute. He must be interested in seeing who is visiting each day hahaha. My chihuahuas spent most of their hour walking the perimeter repeatedly to make sure they peed on every leaf. Lots of toys, bowls, towels, poop bags, etc left out for families to use. This was absolutely perfect on all levels and can't wait to come back with my 3. Chelsea K.

55First time visiting, my dog loved it! Plenty of room for me to be able to throw the ball and him sprint to chase it. He loved smelling all the smells and definitely wore him out. There were tons of toys available, poop bags and a trash bin. Would visit again (: Christina C.

55This is bar none my dog’s (and my) favorite sniffspot. On the days he just wants to go spend time under the trees scoping out what’s happening nearby, that gives me the opportunity to play frisbee and practice my kicks in a huge field. This sniffspot is a gem!Kirsten C.

55Travis is a fantastic host. My son & I had my two dogs to his property for our first Sniffspot adventure today. Travis' location is secluded, safely fenced in, extremely large for lots of running and fetching, water bowls & toys are provided as is seating & a table. The property gets plenty of afternoon sun making our experience on this very chilly January day quite enjoyable. Highly recommend this location and we will be back very soon! Joanne C.

55Fabulous! Sage and our family had a great time! Be careful about the slight gap that opens from the latch. Sage tried to sneak out when I was leaving to get water.Apoorva J.

55Nice flat, well fenced area with clear boundaries. Some mole incursions in one corner but close enough to fencing to not affect long sprints. Adequate shade as long as sun isn’t at zenith. Few loud barking dogs but not at the fence. Lots of balls available. Doesn’t feel like we are intruding on someone’s back deck! Summer K.
