Description

Welcome to Blackberry Pond Dog Retreat! 📣ANNOUCEMENT (8/27/2025): Nature trail temporarily closed due to recent flooding. Debris pickup in progress. Sorry for the inconvenience. The rest of the property remains open. This property has caught the attention of Hollywood film crews several times, so we figured if they find it intriguing, well, pups will certainly LOVE it. If you want to temporarily escape the hustle and bustle of city life, this place will be your sanctuary. You and your pup will enjoy what we like to call our 13-acre “nature preserve.” 🦌ONE WITH NATURE With plenty of room to roam and explore, our property offers ultimate privacy and tranquility. You’ll forget about the outside world while here. Don’t be surprised, though, if you spot a deer, turkey, turtles, etc. as you and your pup play. Our 1-acre, gator-free pond is stocked with plenty of fish. If you’re lucky, you may see our friendly Bald Eagle that likes to hover in the trees above the pond. Occasionally, an otter will visit or his close friends: Mr. Duck, Mr. Goose and Mr. Crane. ❤️COMPLIMENTARY AMENITIES In addition to walking this peaceful paradise equipped with plenty of parking, we offer complimentary: ✔️Dog treats ✔️Tennis balls/Frisbee* ✔️Bottled water ✔️Dog bowls with water* ✔️Multiple spots to sit (Ex: picnic table, bench) ✔️Tent ✔️Trash cans ✔️Hand sanitizer* ✔️Dog first aid kit* ✔️Dog bags ✔️Dog towels* ✔️Bug Spray* ✔️Sunscreen* ✔️Portable fans for the hot summer months NOTE: Starred items must be returned to their original location after use.

Hazards

HOST NOTE

🐍 Please pay attention to your surroundings, particularly the ground. Snakes are not an uncommon sight during the warmer weather. 🦉 Be mindful of birds of prey if you visit with a small dog. Keep them close to you. Hawks, eagles, and owls call the area home. 🐻 While very rare, in the past, there have been black bear sightings. 🏊‍♀️ Please do not get too close to the pond, especially if you cannot swim. Swimming by humans is not allowed. Dogs are welcome to play in the pond. 🐢 You may see turtles on the property. We suggest you do not pick them up. Some of them are snapping turtles and may bite you. 🐇 Do not attempt to feed any wildlife you may stumble upon - that includes deer, rabbits, turkeys, fox, etc. Stay a safe distance. 🪲 During the summer months, the bugs (Ex: mosquitoes, ticks, spiders, etc) can be bad. We recommend taking advantage of the complimentary bug spray that we will put on the picnic table behind the shed. 🐜 While we do our best to eliminate ant beds, please watch where you step. ☀️ The rays from the sun are strong. We encourage guests to take advantage of our complimentary sunscreen. 🩴It's strongly advised that you wear closed-toe shoes when on site, especially if you decide to go on the trail. Flip flops or sandals are not a good idea. 📹 NOTE: To ensure the safety of our property and guests, we do have several security cameras in front of the house, behind the house and near the shed. They will never invade your personal space.

Extras

🏸Badminton & Volleyball$3

After your pup’s playtime, why not serve up some fun of your own? Add Badminton and volleyball to your visit for a small extra fee—perfect for families, friend groups, or solo guests looking to unwind. When you arrive, the net will be freshly set up and ready to go. We’ll also provide rackets (4), balls, and shuttlecocks. You just need to bring your game face.

🐟Feed the Fish$5

While your pup plays, treat yourself to a peaceful moment by the pond. For a small add-on, we’ll provide a generous cup of fish food so you can toss snacks to our friendly swimmers—catfish, brim, bluegill, and more! It’s a relaxing, kid-friendly activity that brings the water to life.

🐦‍⬛Feed the Birds$1.5

Add a peaceful pause to your pup’s playdate by feeding the wild birds that call our property home. Robins, blue jays, and other winged visitors love a snack—and we’ll provide a small cup of bird food so you can fill the feeder that's located near the pond and back fence.

Hello and welcome to Blackberry Pond Dog Retreat! 👋 Thanks so much for checking out my little slice of paradise. I truly hope you and your pup enjoy every moment here. My roots run deep in Berkeley County. While the area continues to grow with new faces from out of state, I’m proud to be a true local (a rare gem these days!). My ancestors first settled in the Lowcountry back in the late 1600s, and that heritage continues to shape how I care for this land and community. When I’m not hosting Sniffspot guests or dog sitting, I stay busy with remote work and community involvement. I’m an active member of several genealogical societies and love diving into local history. If you ever have questions about the area or just want a fun fact or two, I’m always happy to share.
