55Lovely yard. Well appointed with umbrella, table, chairs and large shade tree. All yard surfaces including the artificial turf so very clean. Great secure fence. Host responded quickly. Environment very inviting. We will be back.
55We enjoyed our relaxing Snifspot. It was the perfect spot to complete our day with our 2 doggies. Thank you for the hospitality and the opportunity to experience this clean, well kept, lovely backyard to play and sniff in. Our doggies also appreciated the bowl of fresh water left to refresh themselves with. We look forward to visit again.
55A great yard to visit! I loved that it’s turf, and between the tree and the large umbrella, plenty of shade. The puppy I had appreciated the large water dish left out, and had a blast turning into her own little pool.
55Nice and clean spot! A little small for frisbee but good enough for ball play and exploring. My dogs enjoyed thier time there!
55Anna’s backyard was perfect for our two apartment-dwelling dogs to enjoy some free time. It was a warm day but there was plenty of shade for both the dogs and humans. She was kind enough to leave out a bowl of water and a few toys.
55The spot is clean and nice! There's a beutiful tree creating some nice shade for the dog. She tired out after running crazily for an hour :D very great
55Cute small little yard. My little guy had a great time rolling in the grass
55Anna is a great host and we really enjoyed her backyard. It’s a lovely neighborhood spot ☺️
55It was a nice yard! It was clean and there were dog toys and some fresh water left for us. It was very quiet and calm and there were some nice chairs in the shade we sat in while watching Prince sniff around. We did hear a rooster but that was mentioned in the profile and Prince wasn’t bothered by it. It was a very nice experience
55Nice space and friendly host!

Private 2 Acre Forest Trail and Swimming Hole In Rural Woodside

This is a private, undeveloped, forested spot. If you are interested in this spot, you and your dog should be up for a mini adventure. This spot is not a manicured, backyard park. It is wild and beautiful, and a rare find in this area. THERE IS NO TRASH SERVICE AT THIS FOREST LOCATION. PACK EVERYTHING OUT WITH YOU, INCLUDING DOG POOP BAGGIES. The trail starts at the west (downhill) end of the parking spot, and winds downhill to the creek (there are a couple of switchbacks). The trail from the parking area to the creek is less than 5 minutes long. At the bottom of the trail, is a deck. Beyond the deck is a year-round creek with a swimming hole. There are fish, frogs, newts, and crawdads. All wildlife is protected, so please don't catch or remove them. You may walk up and down along the creek exploring, as long as you turn around if you see a waterfall downstream or a house in the distance. The trail that leads downhill to the creek is intermediate, not for beginners or flip-flops. There should be no poison oak or ticks on the trail, but if you venture off the trail, you may encounter poison oak or ticks. There are blackberry bushes to the sides of the trail that resemble poison oak. There should be no foxtails. You may see wild animals. As a wild spot, you may encounter typical hazards that are present in most local forest trails, such as wildlife, water, and trip-and-fall hazards. This is a private spot, and there should be no other people or dogs during your booking. If you see someone during your booking, please let us know as soon as possible, so that we can take steps to prevent them from trespassing again. There is no lighting at this spot, so if you book before sunrise or after sunset, please bring a headlamp or flashlight. There is no trash collection service at this location, so please pack out any trash. Thank you!

Almaden Area Private Dog Space

This spot is undergoing repairs and we have limited availability through January. Too many workers and schedules, easier to close for a few weeks while work is done. Private full wooden fenced space on a quiet cul-de-sac. Huge back yard. Quiet and private. Please note the price of booking for a dog includes 2 adults, additional dogs added includes 1 additional adult at no extra charge. If you would like to share the spot with friends, please select the correct number of additional adults in the EXTRAS. The maximum number of adults at our spot is 8. The maximum number of cars is 2 at this time. Great for large dogs and sectioned for smaller pups too! We currently have no dogs or other pets, nor children. This is our private home. The space is open most of the day between 9am-8pm (Daylight hours). Summer grass areas are sunny and bright and begin to be shaded by the afternoon. Driveway Parking Please when possible. My neighbors prefer it. **BARKERS: My neighbors are starting to complain about excessive barking. If your dog is extremely vocal, this spot may not be the best choice. Normal and light barking is totally fine. I personally don't care, the barking doesn't bother me but I back up to neighbors on all sides. ((Especially if you choose morning or late afternoon hours) Digging is ok in the small fenced area to the right and water is available. Plenty of seating for humans. Host is usually on sight and works from home. Contact with host is optional.
