HOST REPORTS

Sometimes

My dog will never be audible or visible from the spot, but other people walk their dogs on the sidewalks in our neighborhood. Additionally, our neighbor sometimes cares for her relative's two dogs, so they are (infrequently) in the yard adjacent to ours. They cannot access our yard.

Guests assume all risks involved therein. Thank you!

Making many "Happy Hounds" is our goal! We were inspired to open a Sniffspot by our resident dog Bear, who is highly reactive but LOVES to run off leash. We wanted our yard to be a safe haven for him and other dogs, too! We are always available to answer questions! Please don't hesitate to reach out. Cheers!

Come bring your dog to play in my fully fenced yard! I do pet-sitting as a side hustle, so I refer to this as my mini dog park! Chairs and a table available for humans, plenty of space to get out the zoomies and no worries if they need to get a little digging in! I keep the blinds closed so no dogs will be seen inside my house, but occasionally there may be a dog I'm hosting that may bark (or neighbors). Let us be your play sanctuary!!

Ultimate Sniffing Experience in Roseville!

Fully Fenced
0.25 acres

Nearly 1/3 of an acre in Roseville available for your dog to sniff until their heart’s content! Open mowed grassy area wide enough for zoomies and long enough for fetch, as well as natural/unmanicured shaded areas for “jungle sniffari’s”. Not far off of Highway 36 and 35E, enjoy the perks of room to run while having the privacy of your own space. Plenty of seating for humans underneath a shaded gazebo, with a table and basic amenities for guest use. Please be aware that we do have other dogs in the neighborhood. This includes our direct neighbors to the north, who we share a chain link fence with. If you are visiting on an evening or weekend, there’s a good chance their dog will be outside also!

90 minute time slot. We have an open 70 acres surrounding a private pond with a trail thru the fields and woods around nature. The time allotment is 90 minutes only. We ask that our guests park by the barn and go straight to the lake then to the left around the lake. Trails are marked. It is about a 1 mile trail or more. trails are not plowed open in the winter but are perfect for snow shoeing, hiking an fat tire bikes in the snow on the trails or perfect spring to fall on the maintained trails.
