Please don't allow your dog to dig holes in the Sniffspot venue as it creates a hazard for other dogs that may be running in the space. Sorry to say, but many guests are not doing a very thorough job of picking up their dogs' droppings! In order to keep a clean venue for all to enjoy, I ask that everyone do their best to clean up after their dog\dogs. Thank you!

On our second visit, Caren met up with us at the Sniff Spot area to chat and offered us a walk through the full property. One of the dogs even took a dip in the pond as we walked through. We all loved it! We are here for a week and will definitely return! Lots of toys available, sunscreen, bug spray, hand sanitizer, disinfecting wipes, tissue, paper towels…nice touch! 😊
Caren was absolutely amazing! She was able to accommodate for my reactive dog by allowing me to greet her outside of the car, she showed us where to park and how to open the gate and left. Aries had an absolute blast it was amazing to see him running freely despite his reactivity. We did see a man on a tractor and people walking by but it didn’t phase Aries. We will definitely be back and i recommend you to bring your pets here especially if they are reactive!
Host replied: I am delighted to hear that your boy, Aries, had fun running, playing, and exploring the venue at Palmhill today! I'm delighted too that he wasn't bothered in the least by any of the end-of-a-busy-work-day-activities going on outside the venue either! What a good boy, Aries! Thank you for your review, recommendation, and support! It was my pleasure to host your visit to Palmhill today and hope to see you and Aries again! 🐾♥️🐾
Caren met us at the gate to let us in and show us around. Everything was great! Our dogs loved having the run of 3 acres to get in those long, hard runs. Caren provided everything! Multiple large buckets of filtered water (which left some clean water to drink for the others (since one of our dogs likes to soak her feet and face in the drinking water!). Bug spray, sun screen, poop bags, MANY toys hand sanitizer, etc. A shade structure with picnic table is provided as well as many shade trees on the perimeter of the area that the dogs can take advantage of. Safe fencing surrounded the area so we didn’t have to worry about the safety of our dogs. We are in town for a week and will definitely be going back. 😊
Host replied: Thank you, Sue, for your complimentary review and for visiting Palmhill with your husband and three gorgeous, energetic, well-behaved, Labradoodles! It's always such a pleasure to meet owners like yourself who treat their pets like family! I see we're going to welcome you all back mid morning! I'll make sure there's fresh water in the venue for your kiddos. Please let yourself in and make yourself at home! 🐾♥️🐾♥️🐾♥️🐾
!!!! Host keeps prices low to keep it affordable for humans and their dogs to enjoy this amazing field... PICK UP AFTER YOUR DOGS POOP and DON'T LEAVE SCATTERED KIBBLES IN THE FIELD !! Scattered food attracts wildlife, and is a hazard to dogs with sensitive stomachs, the host resident dogs, and food allergies. This host should not be picking up guests dog poo!!! Please help keep this spot nice and clean for everyone to enjoy 🙏🙏🙏
Host replied: Thank you so much, Michele for these important reminders! I'm disappointed that anyone would hide kibbles in the Field! As you say, it attracts unwanted wildlife, and causes a hazard for guests' dogs, as well as our own. I can understand someone losing track of an occasional dog dropping, but in an effort to keep the venue clean for everyone to enjoy, at times, I'm picking up more poop than I should have to. And, please return all toys and balls to the appropriate recepticles before you leave for the day. Thanks so much for your continued support!
Still the best sniffs pot in my opinion!! The host has everything you could need from balls, toys, water, sunscreen, paper towels and shade.
Host replied: Thank you for those kind words and complimentary review, Reina- they mean a lot! Thank you so much for your support. It makes me very happy to see your dogs enjoying the venue! Sadly, I had to empty the water trough because the mosquitos were laying eggs in the water!!! 😞😞😞 We'll try to figure something out as things heat up where the dogs can enjoy a dip in the water without it causing a nuisance. 🤞Thanks so much for your support! 🐾❤️🐾❤️🐾❤️🐾❤️🐾
My boxer & 2 labs had a fabulous time. Caren was so welcoming & we enjoyed meeting her. The property was perfect. We will most definitely be visiting again in the near future. Thank you Caren for such an awesome day. I only took a video, but will post pics on our next visit!
Host replied: Thank you so much for joining us today at Palmhill and particularly for bringing one of my lifelong most favorite ♥️ dogs, your boxer, Goofy! Your lovely group of canine kiddos were well mannered and an absolute joy to meet and host! I'm delighted to hear that your kiddos had an awesome day! That makes my heart happy! Thank you so much for your support! 🐾❤️🐾❤️🐾❤️🐾
My dog jumps for joy at Palm Hill!
Host replied: Oh, Michele, what a fun photo of Miss Dawa!♥️♥️♥️
Our dogs love it here 🐾🩶
Host replied: I just ♥️ your pics, Sydnee! The kiddos look like they're having fun! Thanks for your support!
Very large open space! Plenty of room to run and toys to play with and a nice shaded area to sit down, will be coming back.
Host replied: Thank you so much for your kind words and complimentary review. Your support is greatly appreciated!🐾♥️🐾♥️
Our dogs had so much fun exploring the area. The owner was friendly and helpful explaining everything to us. We had a wonderful time playing fetch. We will definitely recommend this place to fellow dog owners!
Host replied: What a fun photo, Crystal! I'm delighted to hear about how much fun your kiddos had exploring the venue! It makes my heart happy! That's what it's all about; being free, exploring, sniffing, playing, and being off leash! Thank you for your support, kind words, and recommendation! ♥️🐾♥️🐾
