Perfect! The hose and kiddie pool came in handy on this very hot afternoon. Lots of room, well kept, seating options. Couldn’t ask for more.

Foster dog Pete and my dog Robbi had an amazing time. Great yard for them to get their zoomies out

We had such a great time throwing the ball and getting rid of our zoomies this morning. It was super hot and there was a spicket to refill our doggy water bottle and human water bottle lol. He was too interested in fetch to play in the pool, but it was a nice option to have! Shade in the side yard was much appreciated for rests between zoomies. Clean yard, no sign of poo etc. Thanks!

This was perfect! Completely fenced in and allowed my pup Indians to have some off leash time and to get some training in without distractions! Super easy to find and getting to play in the pool to cool off was great. Will be back!

The pool was a nice add, the pup liked it to cool down. I would recommend bringing bug spray.

Kitty’s place is amazing! It was super clean with plenty of room for my girls to run around. We will definitely be back!

Spacious and clean space for my boys to run and explore! I had a little trouble with the back gate, but the host was very helpful and responsive. The bug spray was very much appreciated! We hope to return soon 🙂

Exactly as advertised! The gate was left ajar so it was easy to get in. The mosquitos were out so the free bug spray came in clutch - greatly appreciated!

My puppy loved Anna’s back yard! It did not even take the whole hour to wear him out! The kiddie pool is a great bonus!

Jessica I.

August 2024

Anna’s place was a perfect spot to take my puppy! We are training him and trying to socialize him with other dogs since he has a lot of anxiety and this was a great place to do training with him!

Although we had to unfortunately cancel, the communication from initially scheduling to canceling was wonderful. Always quick responses and answers to any questions. We can't wait to actually visit which we hope will be later this week.

Nova had a great time in the big yard, and she loved the little pool that was available on such a hot day!

Our pups absolutely loved their visit to this Sniffspot, so much space to run, and bask in the sun! The little pool and water hose was nice on a hot day. Will definitely visit again!

Merri F.

October 2024

This was the perfect spot for my two pups! The yard is large and secure, but not large enough to where I couldn’t keep my eyes on them. They had fun just sniffing and running, but my Aussie absolutely loved playing with the hose and chasing the water! The yard itself is mostly clear and level- which was great as my other dog is blind, so the less he can run into- the better:) communication and access to the yard were a breeze as well- we will definitely be back!

For small dog owners, on each side of the house is a small hole in the fence that my dogs obsessed over. Just keep a close eye on them in the side yards and it should be fine! There were fairy lights over the main part of the backyard which was nice since it gets dark so early. Mine decided to stay in the dark by the fence line and in the side yards, so I would recommend a small flashlight in case you have doggo spies on a top secret mission like I unknowingly had. The yard was clean and the grass was cut. There were dogs that could be heard but they didn’t bother my dogs. The neighbor coming in and out of his house to do things drove my dogs crazy but I just redirected them. There’s nothing that can be done about that. Overall great experience.

My pup loved it! Fence is secure, and there are some hanging/street lights at night so it wasn’t too dark when the sun went down.

10/10 spot if you just need a run around and get the zoomies out! My dogs loved it and couldn’t stop getting their laps in tonight !

beautiful little back yard! our dog is getting older and doesn’t run as much, but she had an amazing time hanging out and getting some sun here. Host was communicative and friendly.
