Great spot! Nice bit of shade at the bottom by the fence and also along the side when we went around 2:30. Pups were WORN OUT afterwards! Excellent communication with the owner as well. We will definitely be back!

Location was very clean and safe for my dog. She liked running up and down the stairs between the patio and yard. Neighbors dog was very friendly and said a brief hello.

Super easy to find. Ample street parking. Lots of open space to play ball. There are prickly cactuses and agave plants along the retaining wall so be sure to establish leave it/no zones with your dog.

awesome yard with plenty of space to play! just a heads up for reactive dog owners, the neighbors behind the tree line were hanging outside with their dogs too. it wasn’t an issue for us, but definitely be mindful towards the back fence if your pup doesn’t like others. we will definitely be back for more zoomies!

Great yard, very clean and had everything we needed. There is some great shade under the deck where the chairs are set up. My only qualm is that there are dogs on two sides of the fencing; the hedge side, and the tree side. The fencing behind the trees is high enough that no one can jump over it, but our reactive girls were definitely stressed out seeing eye to eye with another dog through the trees. On the hedge side, the dogs on the upstairs deck barked at us quite a bit and were in plain view since they were above us. Again, no way of the dogs actually interacting, but not ideal if you have super reactive pups like we do. I'm still giving 5 stars since I knew there was a chance we'd see other dogs going in, but I wanted to give a more thorough review to let others know!

It was great, host was very nice! There is water for your doggies ready and clean. Will go again my dogs are so tired :)

Well-enclosed space with a mix of sun and shade. Street parking was plentiful. There was a dog in the neighbor's yard (on the other side of the fence). Not a problem for me, but something to consider if you have a reactive dog.

Great space to play fetch! there were a few dogs in the neighboring yards for anyone who has a reactive dog.

Nice yard with water bowl, balls and nice amount of shade. Clean and well fenced. The neighbors dogs came out but not for very long and they weren’t reactive, so my dogs didn’t react. Patio was very nice place to sit but my dogs didn’t let me sit much!

Had a great time at this backyard. It had enough room to run with a well secured fence. Be sure to keep an eye on your pooches because there are some cactus plants but the grass was nice and it had lots of plants and trees to sniff. The slope of the backyard was good too because it really tires out the dogs running up and down playing fetch and chasing each other. Richard was really nice and helped me with the gate when i needed it. Overall it was a great time with my wife and three crazy dogs and I recommend this spot for anyone looking to wear out the dogs in a mellow environment at a good price point. Thanks again

Great yard and easy access. The dogs had a blast. I was able to book last minute within an hour and It went great. Super appreciated! There are dogs barking on multiple sides of the yard and poking heads but it’s fine if your dogs ignore it. Just a note for reactive puppies.

This is my first time using sniffspot and so far I am having a great experience. I appreciated that we had bowls, poop bags, and even balls for the dogs. My fur babies enjoyed your place and thank you for the hospitality. There is a dog next door but the place is very secure and there was no way of them interacting.

My dogs had a great time. One loved playing fetch and the other just sniffing around the property. The property was clean and private. Thank you.

We decided to try sniffspot, and this was a great place to start! It was the perfect size for Oat, it does not take much for him to get tired. He ran up & down the hill, tried fetch, and sniffed around the bushes. We noticed the neighbors down the hill had dogs, and although there is a fence separating them it may not be ideal for reactive dogs. The host was communicative and immediately sent a message with instructions once I booked. There was ample street parking and the yard was easy to spot. Overall, it was a great first experience!

Second time coming here and had a blast! Celebrated both of my boys by having their “birthday party” here :)

Great spot, my dogs really enjoyed running around. There's a spot on the bottom corner that can be an issue with reactive dogs like mine because they saw a dog but I distracted them and it wasn't an issue the rest of the time :)

The dogs had a blast. Big yard great for running around! One of my dogs is a foster and she has been only in an apartment and on leash. Loved seeing her be able to run circles! Highly recommend

Chose not to let my dogs play because a rain storm came out of no where (didn’t want to deal with dirty, wet dogs in my car) but host was awesome & super communicative. & I hope to come back when the sun is shining 😀

My 2 Huskies had a fabulous time! There is however one concern and that’s the low barrier from the raised patio down to the yard, which my dogs were jumping from, and on the side, they could’ve jumped into the neighbors yard. I still think it’s a great spot though, but even better for the less daring, less athletic dogs.
