55My dogs had a blast at Amanda’s spot! They loved exploring and splashing around in the small creek. We will definitely be back!
55This was my first Sniffspot and I appreciated Amanda's sweet welcome message and encouragement to enjoy the space. Everything was great! I loved how close we were to Charlottesville shops (esp Trader Joe's!) and it was an easy stop on a road trip to walk and picnic with our dog. Lots of room to walk × my dog enjoyed dunking herself in a little watering hole part of the stream (stream was dry at time if our visit). We mostly walked with a long line after an inadvertent deer chasing. My dog came back to her whistle recall and we did not test it again.
55I’m pretty sure my dog had one of his best days today, romping over the whole space here at Amanda’s. He’s not a swimmer, but he loved splashing in the creek - although that might also be because he had a bath two days ago! I did three laps of the trails while my dog did about 27. He was thrilled to be able to run and explore as he pleased! My dog is dog reactive, so I asked Amanda to keep her dog in and we never even heard a peep. There is one bordering neighbor at the back of the woods with dogs, but they were securely fenced and we merely heard a bit of barking. It was such a joy to see my dog be able to freely run off leash, living his best life, without worrying about a negative encounter. (Joy for him and joy for me!)
55Amanda's place is perfect, my girls had the best time playing in the creeks, running the trails and sniffing all the things! I can see this becoming our new favorite place! The trails are marked and mostly clear (beware of spider webs!) We will definitely be back.

I have an indoor-outdoor cat who is very friendly to people, but has been "treed" by several dogs in the past (including my own!). I ask for advance notice of bookings so I can bring my cat inside before you arrive.

I am thrilled to welcome you and your beloved to come explore the woods around my home! I work from home for a nonprofit organization, and generally expect to be here during your visit, although I will respectfully give you your space because I am immune suppressed. In addition to my own dog, I have an indoor-outdoor cat. I require advance notice for bookings to ensure that I can secure them during your visit.

Hello! My name is Katie and we are so excited to offer our yard space to your furry best friend. My family has lived in an apartment the last two years while house hunting in Crozet, and we have learned how difficult it is to have dogs without access to a yard. Now that we are settling into our new home, we are excited to offer our space for afternoon fetch, morning zoomies, and just lounging in the sunshine. Animals just make the world a better place. You will always have complimentary access to our hammock and swing gazebo. Please refrain from using the kids play equipment! Come enjoy some nature time in our yard in Crozet. :) Arrival Notes: When you arrive you can park anywhere on our gravel driveway. The gate to the right of the house that goes into our garden is where you will enter. This “holding” area in the garden gives you a chance to triple check there are no lingering guests or animals in the yard. Once you are in our backyard please shut the gate behind you. Most guests enjoy hanging out in the firepit area where there are hammock swings and seating. Along the fence, you will see a spot for water, toys, and other things I thought you may need. We ask that guests not utilize our small deck near the house, so that our dogs don’t bark and disturb their stay! So far all of our guests have come a second time, so if you end up booking again, I’d love any feedback on how to make your visit extra special. Anyway, that is all for now, thanks again and enjoy the sunshine!! ~Katie
