Sniffs & Sunshine Private Yard

**UPDATES** 05.22.23 - Yard sprayed with Wondercide Outdoor Pest Control (cedar oil base) With rainy season starting, there is a much higher chance of mosquitos - but I will do my best to keep them at bay :) 05.03.23 - Yard mowed 06.02.23 - Yard is a little overgrown due to recent heavy rains **On schedule to be mowed between 6/7-6/11** --- A portion of proceeds from this Spot are donated to Everglades Angels Dog Rescue ---- This back yard was the key selling point when I bought the house. It is an absolutely fantastic space for dogs to run around and let off some steam. There is a picnic table that is mostly in the shade, and chairs if you prefer to be out in the yard with your pup. I will provide poop bags, water, and toys for guests to use. If you would like to bring more than 5 dogs or stay longer than 3 hours - please send me a message & we can work together to figure out scheduling :) I let the yard run a little wild as a natural yard. This means that when the flowers bloom I do get a lot of little visitors like bees, dragonflies, butterflies and grasshoppers. I provide a brush to help keep any longer coats clean before heading home. This also means that during dry spells, Mother Nature can sometimes burn the yard pretty crispy. If you are at all concerned about the status of the yard (grass height, insect activity) please feel free to reach out to me! The yard is treated with Wondercide to keep mosquitos in check & additional DEET-free repellant options are provided.

FAQ about our Fort Lauderdale dog parks

Are dog parks good for dogs?
It is important for dogs to have off leash exercise to sniff and run. But the free and open nature of public dog parks has drawbacks. There could be aggressive dogs, disease transmission and cleanliness issues. For this reason, many dog behaviorists discourage visiting public dog parks and recommend Sniffspot's private dog parks. Sniffspot private dog parks only allow one guest to book at a time and are not open to the public, which solves many of these issues.
