25Too many weeds attracting bees, and a dozen poops scattered around the perimeter of the yard that my dog stepped in. Thanks for the welcome note and treats. 
55This place was great. Plenty of shade and sun. Nice tall fences. Only issue was the big dog next door, my reactive dog had a hard time for a few minutes, but the neighbors took him right back in. Definitely will be back!
55Nice yard in the heart of Fort Lauderdale, lawn was mowed, she even provided treats, toys, and bags.
55This is a perfect spot! The parking was easy and accessible. The yard is huge with a secure fence, it was a dog's dream! The hosts were gracious enough to offer a large bin of toys, a kiddie pool, and even left us treats. Cookie had a great time, and we will definitely reserve another time slot soon!
55It was such a great experience for my dog and I. Krystin was such a great host had everything you could possibly want/need for a great time. Looking forward to going back again! Thanks for a great time!!
55Thank you!
55This yard is great for dogs, plenty of room to run around and very secure fences. My pups enjoyed using the kiddie pool to cool down
55This spot was perfect. My girl had so much fun. Krystin provides all you need to have a great time: a ton of balls and toys, kiddie pool, poop bags, sunscreen, bug spray, and comfortable lawn chairs. It was so nice to sit outside and drink my morning coffee while letting my dog run around and get her energy out. Will definitely be coming back again!
55My Rottweiler’s had so much fun at this Sniffspot! Definitely coming back again :)
55My doggies had a great time! Arrival information was accurate & easy to follow. We were provided with ample toys & water bowls & more. Kiddie pool was nicely set up & clean when we arrived. Thank you for having us, we will definitely come back!

Description

**Maintenance Updates** 11.18.23 - yard mowed after the No Name Storm --- 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.

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!

Our backyard is nestled in a small, quiet, and dog friendly neighborhood. A bowl of water for the pups, sun screen, and pet safe mosquito repellent will be provided. Please bring your own towels if you plan on using the pool. You are more than welcome to adjust the umbrella and outdoor seating so that you stay under the shade. In the event some of these items are not provided it's due to my husband and I most likely not being home and not having enough time to set up. I do apologize in advanced but I do hope you also provide your own amenities just in case. :) PARKING - In picture 2 is where you will park where the red rectangle is. Directly in front of the house, tires flush against the grass but not on the grass. Please use the gate on the left side if you are facing the house. The Sniffspot sign will be posted. POOL - Our pool is chlorinated and maintained weekly. The shallow end is 3 ft and the deep end is 7 ft. It is not heated. There is a hose near the patio for you to bathe your pup after the pool if you wish. Please provide your own shampoo. Humans are more than welcome to enjoy the pool as well! :) THURSDAYS - Our pool maintenance man comes on Thursdays between the hours of 10am-12pm so please do not book during this window. FLORIDA HEAT - Please be mindful of the temperature. Read this article from the AKC to familiarize yourself with a heat stroke in dogs and what to look for. https://www.akc.org/expert-advice/health/heatstroke-in-dogs/ NIGHT - Bookings are open to take at night. It's dimly lit and no lighting on either side of the house so please take that into consideration. I suggest you bring your own flashlight or portable camping lantern. TRAINERS AND DOG WALKERS - My space is available to you as well! TRANSPERANCEY - For safety reasons there will be a camera facing the backyard :) NO DIGGING - Please do not allow your dogs to dig in the dirt area that boarders the pool or the yard. We are in process of patching up the dirt area. EMERGENCY - In case of an emergency and someone is home please do not hesitate to knock on the door! Help is not guaranteed but we will try to assist in anyway within legal limitations. Coral Springs Emergency Animal Hospital is also the closest clinic.
