Lots of space to run. Water available. Two little dogs on the other side of the fence who will run up and down with your pup. Good spot!

Tessa M.

July 2024

Really nice space!! We really enjoyed it but it was a muggy day so we recommend bug spray LOL. Host was great and space was perfect for us.

Laura S.

August 2024

Huge, secure space that allowed our dog to happily run flat out. Easily accessible property with water available for thirsty pups. Very clean and well kept. We’ll go back.

Alanna T.

September 2024

Was the perfect size for what I needed and the pups had a good time getting to know each other!

Stella K.

October 2024

Ideal location, close to home, well maintained, has both shade and plenty of sun. Just the right size to throw a ball and frisbee around for my dog and get plenty of running room. It’s my go to place.

Anne D.

October 2024

The Host was very helpful and communicative. The yard was just perfect for our three different breeds. We aren’t sure who was having more fun. We will most definitely recommend and be back! Thank you!

Everything as described. It is open link fences and there are houses on 3 sides with distractions so just know that if you have reactive dogs. I used it as distraction training, recall and leash training and it was a great place for safe and secure obedience work.

Lovely Sniffspot! It was clean and provided a great area for running and exploring for our two girls. The fencing is beautiful and high, gate(s) are secure and our dogs had a blast. There are two tall trees in one section which might put a damper on powerful throwing of a ball unless you’re really accurate, but it didn’t impede us as we found there was more than enough area past them for good throws and flat out running. I didn’t see a place for poop bag deposit, so be prepared to bring home any packages. I definitely recommend this spot.

Second time at this Sniffspot and the girls HAD A BLAST! It is a lovely spot with lots of area for a great run, fetch, exploration and sniffaris. There is a spot to leave “packages” your doglets produce, clean water and a bowl. I highly recommend this Sniffspot as both times our girls have left happy and ready for naps.

Very easy instructions and easy entry to the property. Great spot for smaller or older doggies and quite tidy. There are a few trees and bushes which can provide some spots for hide & seek fun!

Lynda B.

Thanks Murphy had a much needed run. The property is just the right size. There are some trees and shrubs for running around. Lots of open space to throw a ball.

Jessica B.

Dogs had so much run, great place lots of space for them to run around and good fence all around backyard.

Lindsay W.

January 2025

We had so much fun! Our pups have never been off leash before so it was very exciting for everyone. It was super clean and huge! We’ll definitely be back!

Samantha S.

February 2025

Perfect space for my two dogs to run! Clean and completely fenced in. We had an amazing time!! Host reached out beforehand, he put out a water bowl and places for us to sit. Will return!

Kelsey M.

November 2023

Has everything you need! There are some chairs to sit, garbage bin etc. The fences are secure and high, but if you have a reactive dog it is at a busy intersection where they will see humans and/or dogs walking by. It’s perfect for us and we’ll be back.

Arra E.

August 2023

We don’t have a big enough yard for our energetic dog and we’re happy to have found Kenzie’s place close to ours! The yard is as described, very secure and clean. We also loved the privacy. Our dog went home tired and happy! Will definitely come back for another visit!

Jessica W.

September 2023

This is such a good spot to go have some off leash time in! Clean, enough space to run around and throw a ball, and even a clean water dish all filled and ready to go. We’ll be back!

Tessa M.

September 2023

My dog and I had a great time! It was quiet and private and my dog got to run and play fetch.

Jessica S.

September 2023

Nice space for my dogs to run and play fetch! They loved cooling down in the doggy pool. Had shady spots to rest and a place for humans to sit!

Emily K.

September 2023

My dogs had an amazing time! The yard is very clean and spacious enough for my 2 large dogs to be able to run around and play. It is easy to find and the instructions were clear. My dogs loved the mini pool the owner left out for us, and definitely appreciated the water bowl! (The neighbours small dog barked for about 10 minutes when it heard my dogs and I playing. You cannot see the dog, so my dog was not effected by this.) Thank you for opening up your beautiful yard to us! Two tired, happy dogs after the visit!
