• “Hi! My name is Frodo. I'm a young Shorkie that gets out on walks, but would love to just run full speed off leash sometimes! Thank you for sharing your yard with me!“

  — Andrea M.

• “Hi! My names Frodo, just like the Lord of the Rings movies! My parents live in an apartment, so as I grow I’d love to explore some larger fenced in yards. Thanks for letting me stop by and enjoy your space!“

  — Lily & Simeon M.

• “Frodo is a hound shepherd mix. He likes sniffs and adventures. He loves his humans and soft blankets. Sometimes loud sounds scare him. He likes the occasional zoom. He likes to splash in water but doesn't like his paws leaving the ground.“

  — Hanna B.

• “Hi! I’m Frodo!! I’m a happy, go-lucky doodle! I’m 4 years old and love to play! I’m a little shy at first, but if you offer me a treat, we can be best friends!! As long as I’m not too far away from my mom, I’m a happy guy!!“

  — Layne M.

• “Frodo is a nervous boy who wants to love adventure. He'd spend hours sniffing the ground if he could. He loves to eat everything and will chase his ball around forever. He doesn't get a lot of time to play because he's scared of our yard (neighbors make scary sounds) and has been missing his brother. He needs a fun place to run and play without fear of scary noises or being attacked by other dogs.“

  — Andrea C.

About the author

David Adams is a man of many passions, but his love for dogs stands above all. He is not only a dog lover, but also the founder of an innovative platform called Sniffspot. This unique platform connects dog owners with private property owners who are willing to rent out their space for off-leash playtime. While the idea of Sniffspot was initially conceived by his wife, Rebecca, David has been the driving force behind its remarkable success, tirelessly overseeing its growth and development. David's dedication to providing safe and enjoyable spaces for dogs to play, explore, and socialize is evident in his unwavering commitment to Sniffspot. He strongly believes that dogs need ample space and opportunities to stretch their legs and have fun. As a result, he has worked tirelessly to build a network of private property owners across the country who share his vision and are willing to offer their space for the benefit of dogs and their owners. Despite his busy schedule, David always finds time to indulge in his passion for the great outdoors. He loves nothing more than exploring new hiking trails and embarking on thrilling outdoor adventures. Whenever he is not working on Sniffspot, he can often be found hiking or visiting multi-acre fenced sniffspots with his two beloved dogs, Soba and Toshii. He is an avid outdoorsman who enjoys the fresh air, breathtaking scenery, and the sense of freedom that comes with being in nature. David is based in Salem, MA.
