55This is the perfect spot, super efficient booking and everything! There’s a bowl and a hose for your pup and plenty (and I mean plenty) of space to run around. We will definitely be back to this incredibly peaceful and wonderful space! Mindee L.

55I love this spot to death! I was devastated when the original owners moved out but somehow it magically reappeared with new owners, thank you so much! The yard is the biggest open yard I’ve seen in the Valley with lots of cool woodsy feel surrounding it. The only thing is the neighbor dog is extremely yappy and doesn’t stop barking but that’s nothing they can control, it is just a warning to those who have a reactive dog. I will be back over and over and hope to see some more toys as well =)Jamie Y.

55Awesome backyard. Very spacious. My dogs were able to get to a full gallup and burn some energy. 😊 They got in plenty of sniffing. And the yard was secure, so I felt safe letting them roam. Will definitely book again.Tanya F.

55Very spacious back yard! In a nice, quiet community. Our dogs loved running around here. Some patches were a bit muddy - just something to keep in mind if you come on a day that isn’t sunny! Sally T.

55Perfect for my two medium sized dogs. They are both herding breed mixes and they loved chasing each other around the yard and were able to really get their zoomies out! There is a little bench where I could sit and watch them and send some work emails. Will be back!Gineen F.

55This is a lovely, large backyard with grass and lots of trees and bushes for the dogs to run around and explore. The fencing appeared to be secure, and it was tall and private. Super quiet. The host left out a full bowl of clean water for the dogs. There were chairs and table for the people. Note that although the space is advertised as half an acre on Sniffspot, the backyard area where the dogs play is less than half an acre.Bonnie M.
