clean new spot with lots of potential and some fun and thoughtful add-ons 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

Beautiful spot! It was easy to find and the open area was well maintained. There is even a short trail in the woods that we enjoyed while we were there. It was heavily shaded (at least in the morning) which was a huge plus. Will be back!

Spot was large and clean. Great instructions and communication with host. Property lines were very obvious. There is probably a 45+ mph road running the back length of the spot ... a couple lines of trees and good incline up to the road but we heard plenty of vehicles. My dogs and I left happy and hope to be back. Thanks!

Amber's yard was large with high fence and my pittie had great time running around and tuckered her out. Make sure to bring water and dish for your doggie. The only problem was I didn't know where to throw out her poop bag so I took it with me and threw out at home. Thank you Amber for letting us play in your yard!

Great location! There were so many places for my dog to explore and room enough for us to play ball and run a bit. It was a great location for a reactive three year old lab. I’ll definitely be back another day.

It was my first time using sniffspot and I had a great experience! Alexis's yard was fully fenced with very high fence and had a chaise lounge chair (among others) to sit on while my dog ran, rolled around in the grass and sniffed to her heart's desire. The yard was very peaceful. Make sure you bring water and a dish for your dog. I'll be back with my dog for sure she had a great time! Thanks Alexis!

The yard was the perfect size for our 3 dogs to run and get their energy out! It was clean and had chairs for us to sit in. It was also very close to our house which was very convenient! Very affordable and would recommend to anyone looking for a nice sniff spot!

First time using Sniffspot and Alexis’s yard worked out great! Instructions were clear and she had water set out for us. My dog Stormy even found an old toy in her bushes!

Everything was perfect! There was one dog in a neighboring yard, but it was not visible and left the area quickly. We will be visiting again!

The yard was amazing had a great amount of shade and lots of places to sit. It was the perfect place to let me dogs get off leash. Thank you so much!

Very nice space! My pup loved sniffing around and exploring. Lots of chairs to sit either in the sun or shade, whichever you prefer. Also like that there’s a water dish we can use. My dog and I definitely want to come back! This would be a great place to work on training and tricks, which I’ll do next time!

My boyfriend has been at Mayo for almost 2 months now. This was super close and my dog enjoyed being able to romp around off leash.

This was my first use of Sniffspot so I wasn’t 100% sure what to expect. Once I got over the weirdness of walking into someone else’s yard, I was very pleased! The space was clean and just big enough for a 70 pound reactive Labrador to run and have fun. The host had warned me in advance that the water wasn’t on yet, so I brought my own and we were fine. There were some garden beds around so if you have a digger like I do, you’ll just need to be aware and keep an eye on them. There was also a dog in the back neighbor’s yard that got mine a little riled up at first but she soon settled down and things were fine. Loved the nice 6ft privacy fence and everything was very easy to find. I’ll definitely be back soon!

One of the most stress free off leash experiences I’ve had with my dogs! One of my dogs can be reactive toward hyper active dogs and the other hasn’t learned her manners yet. It was so nice to have a fully fenced in grassy space where I could let my dogs have some safe off leash time. There’s was fresh water and a poop scooper as described. I will definitely be bringing my dogs back!

This is the perfect yard for sniffs, for relaxing, and to work on some socialization training with my reactive black lab. There is a 6’ privacy fence all around, nice landscaping and plenty of shade. The owner was super quick to respond and helpful with answering my questions. This was such a nice spot to bring my pup, and we plan to return.

It was our first experience with Sniffspot. Great experience with the hosts. Yard perfect for our furry family member. He ran and ran. Just what we were looking for. Will use again. Thank you to the hosts!!

This is the most secure yard we have seen in a long time. I have a Houdini husky and a vaporizing golden retriever and they were no match for their solid fencing. It was a relief and I could enjoy watching them frolic (and, of course, checking the perimeter for defects). I am thankful this host was able to accommodate my 4 dogs. They all had a great time and will sleep peacefully tonight.

This was a wonderful spot for the dogs to run & stretch their legs. Dogs & I were on our way to Iowa City from MN to pick my son up from College. We had so much fun playing catch with balls. Much better to have a safe & secure place for them to get a drink, run/play than trying to find an open area off the road. Thank You for sharing your backyard with us.

Yard was fully fenced and secure. Water available. Lots of spots for the dogs to sniff! There are dogs right next door that were in their fenced yard.

Nice fenced in area - clean, shaded, toys for the dogs and water bowl. It is a very nice yard for the dogs to play and sniff!
