We loved Caroline’s yard! Our dogs really enjoyed running along the fence line with the Shiba Inu next door, and there was a ton of room for them to sniff around.

Caroline’s place is the perfect size for my 89 lbs pooch. I appreciated all the shade the backyard trees offered. I was not concerned with my dog escaping from out the yard. The neighbor’s dog was friendly and playful . Thank you again for having a clean yard to play in.

By far this is one of our favorite spots. The yard is so well maintained, it is fully fenced which is a plus, the neighbor's dogsare great excercise for our Goldens, running up and down the fence line. We will visit again of course, as this is our second visit there. It is a little distance for us, but worth the drive.

love this spot...been visiting many times...dogs love it...it is well maintained..lots of space to run. Friendly neighbors too and their dogs give my goldens lots of exercise running along the fence.

Great contact! The fence was fairly closed, however there was a small opening at the front that if you had a small dog they’d be able to get into. Lots of room for the 4 legged creatures to run! Their neighbor they share a fence with did have her 2 dogs out, but was kind when our reactive lab was having a hard time relaxing, and ended up bringing them in. Would definitely stop again!

We had a wonderful time today. Large, beautiful yard and the neighbor dogs were delightful company on the other side of the fence!

My foster pup, Miss Wiggles, loved playing fetch in Caroline’s yard! This was the perfect way to get out some of her pent up energy from the shelter. The fence was secure and the yard was clean. We loved our experience and would definitely book again. However there are two things that are worth noting to make sure it’s the right fit for your pup. The neighbors Shiba Inus, did not seem to like my girl and were trying to nip at her through the wire portion of the fence. My girl wasn’t interested in them and walked away so it wasn’t an issue. Their owner also brought them in after a couple minutes of them barking. We also went immediately after a rain, so naturally the yard had several muddy areas. My girl LOVES a good mud puddle romp so this worked out well for us. Just something to keep in mind if you plan to visit after rain.

Very quiet and serene place. Just beautiful! My dog had a blast running all over the place. She wanted to engage with the neighbor dogs and I didn’t find them a problem. My dog did run across their back porch several times with her muddy paws and I apologize for that

I love this yard so much. I go to the private dog park at Carmel and the small dog park does not have shade so this makes my life so much more convenient for the summer. I also love that the neighbors dogs will run the fence with my dogs. I particularly love that It is full of nature, lots of room, and smells.

OMG Maggie had the best time here with lots of grass and shade trees she loved running around the yard and rolling in the grass. Maggie was a stray dog who I rescued one year ago by saving her from the middle of rush hour traffic. We have been trying to find her a new home for almost a year because we downsized into a smaller place with a smaller backyard and she's just too young and strong of a dog for us to keep permanently. So this is the first time she really had room to stretch her legs and run, it was perfect temperature with a nice breeze and she thought she was in doggy heaven, even got to chase a rabbit for a few minutes till it headed under the neighbor's fence. After about 30 minutes the neighbor's two little Shiba dogs (I think that's what they're called?) came out and started racing Maggie up and down the fence line. It was fun to watch them for a while but the little guys wouldn't stop and I was afraid Maggie was going to collapse, I bet she has never run that hard or fast for so long in her life! She's still recovering at home right now. Anyway it was a great experience for her and for me since this is the first time we tried the sniff spot, thank you for making your yard available ❤️🐾🙏

The perfect yard for my boy, Pickles, to chase his ball! There were dogs next door but my dog was not phased by their barking when he has a ball to play with.

There is a lot of nice shade for doggies to take a break in and nice for the humans too! Lots of room to run and the fence is very secure! The ball didn’t even go through the slots so i was very happy about that.

This is a great place for our rescue pup Maggie to run and play and only 15 minutes from our house. They even had a big bowl of cold water for her which is much appreciated. I rescued this sweet girl from rush hour traffic one year ago and still trying to find her forever home. Meanwhile we have a smaller house and a tiny yard that's not big enough for her to run and jump. So this Sniff Spot is ideal for us, the yard is big and shady with lots of trees and Maggie could just run and play with her ball all day! Thanks so much for making your beautiful yard available 🐾❤️🙏

Easy access. Secure fence. Nice open area to run and play. And Henry (our pup) appreciated the bowl of water with ice the homeowner provided on this warm day.

We love this Sniff Spot, it's close to home and a really nice place for our Foster rescue dog to run, it started raining lightly when we arrived but that did not keep Maggie from having a blast plus there's plenty of trees to help stay out of the rain 🌧️

It was raining when I got there but I should have looked at the weather forecast ahead of time. Maggie still had fun for a few minutes!

Large, attractive, securely fenced yard. I live in an apartment so it was great to see my dog run around off-leash. Due to physical limitations, I couldn't turn on the hose.

It’s a nice, big yard, lots of shade and interesting sniff spots! As others have mentioned there are two of the neighbors dogs along the fence, they initially weren’t very friendly but warmed up to my dog fairly quickly. The down side of that is then my dog wouldn’t play ball or anything because he was obsessed with the other dogs :)

Allison A.

Great location. The yard is not huge but certainly big enough for my guy to get some good ball play in. Thanks

Clean, quiet back yard! It is a very good size. My dog LOVED running around here! Host provides water and a couple toys for the dogs.
