Host was responsive to my messages. This was our first Sniffspot booking and we had a 10/10 experience. Dog loved rolling and running in the safe, private space. Yard was picked up, prior to our arrival. We look forward to visiting for zoomies again in the future. Thanks for lending us your yard!

Had a great time here with my pup! There were toys and poo bags provided, as well as a place to throw out the bags. Also a large water bowl with fresh water which my dog greatly appreciated. Yard is well fenced with a privacy fence all the way around, so no worries about your pooch escaping. Very easy and convenient to get to with clear entrance instructions. We will definitely be coming back for future play days!

Took our pup here to play after driving 10 hours from Colorado to visit our family. There was a secure fence, plethora of toys, cold water already outside, and beautiful, clean grass to play in. WONDERFUL spot!

Emily’s place was wonderful. The yard was very well kept, there are toys to play with, water and a lot of space to explore! Emily was amazing to work with, she even made sure we knew about an upcoming storm so that we could reschedule our meet and greet with the pup we are wanting to adopt. Thank you for everything!

Lexie K.

The yard was very clean and well-kept! My pup was more interested in just sniffing but there’s plenty of room to run!

August 2024

Perfectly enclosed yard so we could go off leash, mine has a way of finding ways out. quiet neighborhood which helped my anxious pup. I did hear a dog but far in the distance so I would recommend this for other anxious or “reactive” dogs. Planning on going back!

Marcia W.

Such a great space and was perfect for the foster I had. He enjoyed being able to explore. Emily was so nice to visit with. Would definitely recommend her Sniffspot.

Emily knew I had at least one anxious pup and let me know there was a person coming to her house and would be in the driveway so that was a nice heads up. Highly recommend!

FAQ about our Ankeny dog parks
