55Nice place and great swimming hole.
55Love love loved this spot!! Pups adored the pond and it was SO nice to be able to bathe them before getting back in the car πŸ˜‚ We will be back soon!
55This is an absolutely beautiful property. No fencing is around the pond, but it’s extremely well maintained, and the host was very kind/welcoming. There are toys and towels for the dogs too! If your dogs like swimming, this is a great spot to visit!
55Lovely space. My dog LOVED swimming in the pond.
55Very fun place for my dog to explore, play, and take a swim! I really appreciated how much extra effort went into providing items to make our stay so carefree and enjoyable. Separate marked entrance, map of the area, towels, toys, treats and more. Definitely recommend!
55Awesome space and great for dogs who like the water 😍
55This place is wonderful. It has it all. It has well marked trails, an open space, and a stream going through it. It really is like a β€œmini” state park. I would highly recommend this Sniffspot to anyone as it genuinely is a gem. Especially, those who are looking for a lengthy walk.
55This property is beautiful! My Bella had so much fun, lots of amenities and very friendly host! Brianna and her dog Turbo were very accommodating and fun to socialize with, Bella and I will definitely be revisiting this spot! -Jeni
55My girls had a lovely early morning romp. Lot's to explore and plenty of room to run.
55Gorgeous property!!

Hi! I’m Briana β€” lifelong dog lover, creative thinker, and the caretaker of this special little slice of property at Cato Corner. I created this Sniffspot to give dogs (and their humans) a peaceful, fun, low-pressure place to explore, sniff, swim, play, and just be dogs. My goal is simple: make guests feel welcome, comfortable, and excited to come back. πŸ’œ

During the appropriate weather there is a wonderful puppy pool full of fabulous toys! Also the yard has lots of tennis balls and soccer balls and a football and a 24-in herding ball that has multiple straps on it for playing tug of war or just using your nose to toss it in the air and Chase it all around the yard! There is one very special bush that we like to call a cave because of the way it has formed and you can go in underneath it and hide out and keep nice and cool and lay in the dirt on those hot days and there is so much space for doing your zoomies! Also lots of granite to run and climb on to keep those claws worn down so you never have to get them trimmed!
