Amazing yard! So much room for dogs to run, 100% secure fencing, and very nice additions like a water bowl, treats, kiddie pool, and ample seating. Will definitely be back!

This really is the dream backyard 😍 We had a great time playing fetch, splashing in the kiddie pool, and relaxing on the lawn. It felt very safe for our dog-reactive pup. I’m so grateful the hosts share their incredible space!!

We loved Samantha’s SniffSpot! They have a beautiful yard and home! We came from Green Bay, Wisconsin and brought our two Australian Shepards with us while we visited my sister out here going to school at Cornell. We loved being able to let our girls run and play in a safe fenced area while we are on vacation. Samantha provided poop bags, water, and even some treats for our girls. Thanks again for sharing your wonderful yard with us!

Can't think of a better descriptor than what the host has already named this spot. Backyard dream says it all! Large, secure space was perfect for our rescue dog working on exposure to new sights and sounds in the world. Thank you!

My dog had so much fun! It was a great outdoor space with a secure fence. We will definitely go back.

We enjoyed our visit to Samantha's "dream" backyard. It was beautifully kept and very large. My dog is large and it is nice to have enough room for her to run at full speed.

Riley had the best time at this fantastic Sniffspot! It was so big and fully fenced with no worry about him escaping! Samantha was a great host and provided water and treats for Riley. I would definitely recommend this spot to anyone!!

We had a lovely time at this Sniffspot! The yard is spacious, secure and very nicely maintained. Our pups loved it!

This is a great big yard with many features to provide a “sniffari” experience for my dogs. The length of the yard allowed for long runs all within my eyesight. Parking was directly next to the yard entrance and the gate was easy to use/latch. The owner was responsive and helpful.

Absolutely incredible!! My dog was a street dog when he was a puppy in Rochester and he lived his best dreams running around in this yard! It was very easy to find and the yard was super accessible from the driveway! They even wrote our names on the blackboard to greet us ☺️ We will for sure be back!!

We had another great visit, this time in the snow. The driveway and path into the yard were all clear of snow/ice and having a table under cover to put my gloves and warm coffee on while playing was really helpful. Thanks for another great visit!

We stopped here during a recent road trip, to give our pup a chance to stretch her paws and run around. Samantha’s Sniffspot was perfect!! It was easy to locate. Clean and safe. The pictures and description 100% reflect the grounds. Don’t hesitate to book your own adventure!

We had a great time! Large yard with plenty of space to run around and a bowl for water was left out which was great. Would definitely come back!

Great quiet country spot with plenty of sniffing opportunities and room to run. A big part of the yard is shaded so perfect for sunny summer weather.

A great spot to run around in the grass! Georgia got her zoomies out and then enjoyed sniffing around the trees and laying in the shade. John reached out to us beforehand and asked for any special needs which was nice.

Vanessa D.

My dog had a great time. The commute was short and the area was quiet. Lots of nature sounds and greenery. She sniffed and explored after I found a spot to settle in. I’m so happy you offer this type of service for my timid dog. We will be back!

Sudan K.

My doggie and I had a great time! John’s yard had lots of space to run around and plenty of toys. Definitely recommend for a private play space.

My dog loved running around the grassy areas, exploring the trails and wading in the stream! It was very private and we didn’t see any people or animals during our visit. We had a great time and will definitely be back!

We were so surprised to see cute birthday decorations throughout the sniff spot. I casually mentioned that we were having a birthday celebration for our dog. :) Stephanie went out of her way to welcome our dog and us. Our dog really enjoyed it. We were able to practice recall and he was able to play with his friend in an open space.

Excellent space for dogs, more landscaping may be a good idea. Overall, great space for pups, my dogs loved it!
