55So much pressure being the first review. Anthony & Gail were friendly and kind to take Ruby & I last minute, even making sure Ruby had a bowl of water as it was warm today. Ruby had an awesome time! It’s a smaller yard, but plenty big enough to use her favorite tennis ball gun! She was even brave enough to go under some dense tree branches, which means she felt safe. Parts of the grass were dry, but she loved “dusting it up catching balls!” There were no other dogs barking through the fence or other interruptions, just ball chasing fun! Gina L.

55A great spot! Plenty of space for your pups to run and a good amount of shade. Lauren left out some water and toys. We hope to return soon. Brielle L.

55Our pup had a great time running around and getting all his energy out. Very nice sized yard even for big dogs to run around. Lots of shade and seats for people to relax on. Good amount of balls, frisbees and ropes for play as well as treats for your dogs. We will definitely be back!Vanessa B.

55This was my first SniffSpot and it was the best experience ever. Lauren's backyard is incredibly huge and clean. The grass is green and the pups had an incredible time. We threw a small birthday party for our pup with her 4 friends and they had a blast running. All of them knocked out after getting home!! There was water and toys left for us. Cassie W.

55This spot was really nice! Lots of shade! Grass was green and had a very nice place for humans to sit… had water, toys and a few treats… kiddie pool in the back of the yard… we booked for 2 hours so we could just relax a bit and I’m glad we did!

55This is probably the cleanest Sniffspot I’ve ever visited! My dogs had a wonderful time exploring the yard and rolling around in the lush green grass. Fencing was secure except for one board of fencing that is loose. I didn’t even notice it until some people walked by that area and my chihuahua mix ran over to investigate. I realized the host had placed a circular concrete slab near the fence so I just leaned that up against the loose board and there was no more issue! Overall, this is a very clean, quiet, and secure Sniffspot and we will be back for sure! Montessa G.

55Perfect spot for my pup! Plenty of areas to sniff and green grass to run around or lay in. Lots of toys (balls, frisbee, rope toys) and a kiddie pool. My pup and his friend had a great time! Loved the icewater for the humans and awesome sitting area with Adirondack chairs.

55This was our first time using Sniffspot and it was amazing. Our dogs loved it. The backyard was fully fenced. Our dogs loved the toys that were left out. There was water for us and our dogs set out when we got there. Honestly this was a great experience and we will be coming back 😊Haley Z.

55Such a cute spot! We will absolutely be back, our girls had a blast. It was super clean, and the grass is nice and green. Lots of pretty trees too. They had a nice selection of toys, however our girls don’t really care about toys so we didn’t use them lol. Also had water out for not only them but us too! I couldn’t believe it because we came so early. Really great hosts and spot. Also we have one reactive dog and she didn’t see or hear a single other dog which is always much appreciated 🙏🏼Sarah H.

55It’s a great spot. I loved that it’s fully fenced and a wide open space. There was water for my dog and I and there were dog toys available. Emily (my dog) and I got a chance to meet Lauren and play with her pup, Jack. Lauren set up the doggie pool so that they could splash around as well. The location was easy to find, very clean and very welcoming. I definitely recommend this spot. Thank you. Kathleen H.
