This is a lovely space and Mary is quite thoughtful! Our pups had a great time exploring the greenery and all the nooks and crannies in the yard. We'll definitely be back!

Biscuit and I had a wonderful time together at Mary's sniffspot. there was plenty of room to run and play fetch and lots of foliage to sniff out. I think our favorite part was relaxing together under the big shade tree! We will definitely be back!

My dog Colton had a great time. There was plenty of space for him to run around and smell. The fence was secured. The host left treats, water bottles, a bowl and other helpful items. It was easy to find and located in a nice area. A perfect way to let my pup be off leash.

Erin's place was clean and well fenced in. It was a positive experience for us both. Although it's small, he was able to play some decent fetch and get good and tired! She was responsive to my questions as well. Thank you Erin and Sniff Spot!

This was our first time. The area is quite large for sniffing and running. Our dog enjoyed exploring, that's for sure! He ignored us though. That's okay, it was his time to do what he wanted.

Great Spot! This was our first sniff spot experience and it didn't disappoint. Ruthie's place is clean, filly fenced, and quite. We recommend it!

A wonderful backyard for my dog to play in! Cute neighborhood and easy parking situation. Privacy fence allowed us to play with none of my dogs triggers being visible which was amazing and allowed my pup to run freely! Clean yard and nice soft grass. Also very shady which is wonderful for hot summer days. I will definitely be booking again!!!

This was my first experience using Sniffspot and my dog enjoyed running and sniffing around the yard! The fence is very secure which is always my main concern since Nala is an escape artist. It was a very pretty yard with plenty of shade and seating.

This was a great visit - I brought my small dachshund and medium sized mix for some free time. The neighborhood is very lovely and quiet, the yard was easy to access, and has complete privacy. Although we were there at the hottest part of the day, the yard was mostly shaded and very comfortable. Dogs enjoyed sniffing around, running and relaxing on the grass.
