Description

***Spot temporarily closed to allow yard to recoup during dry spell*** 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 do 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, dragonflys, butterflys and grasshoppers. I provide a brush to help keep any longer coats clean before heading home. 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.

    The host is super hospitable and sweet! The yard was a little dry but she let me know that before arriving and even offered to reschedule due to the weather. She left a super sweet note with a bunch of goodies. I did pay for the kiddie pool but it was not set up which I didn’t mind, but when I tried setting it up it had a hole so I couldn’t use it. There were a couple bugs but I’m thinking that’s because of the weather. Overall very nice yard and sweet guest, but I think with a little bit of upkeep it would be even better.

    Great host and great big yard! The pups had such a blast and ended up passed out for hours after.

    Great backyard, our puppies had a wonderful time playing. Krystin was very sweet and left us some treats for our dogs as well as plenty of water and toys for them to play with :)

  • Lucia M., Dec 17, 2022

    This was my first time using sniff spot and 10/10 would recommend! This host was amazing! We had a bunch of toys and plenty of water and the backyard is a huge space! They really went above and beyond to make our time wonderful. My dogs ran around and played with each other so much. Definitely would recommend and book again!

    Host replied: Thanks for the great review Lucia! Glad everyone enjoyed the space and got to stretch their Paws 🐾 😄

    Host replied: Glad you guys had a great time Cassie!

Meet your host

Working all week means the yard is wide open! The yard is mostly open space, but I provide a few toys that your pup can run around with or enjoy Skylar's favorite past time of hunting lizards on the fence line. I let the yard go a little wild, so there are flowers, butterflies, dragonflies, and the occasional foraging bird. I do plan on developing the yard a bit more in the future, but for now it is a blank canvas!
