A great spot!!! Clean, secure, and tons of toys. Casper loved rolling in the grass!
The space was just as described. Large safe area that had just been mowed and completely cleaned. Water was available which my dog appreciated! Thanks again!
Great family style backyard setting. Secure fencing, water and toys provided. Maya loved sniffing around behind the trees and shed, going up and down the two sets of patio stairs and zoomies around and around the yard.
Host replied: Come back anytime, Joan and Maya!
A quaint, mostly grassy, well-fenced yard with a bit of a water view, plus several toys (and a few toddler/K-3 type play items too)— it further has a shed and corner patch of pine trees with a path around back for those dogs that seem to like a bit of a place ‘to hide’ or get away (or where they think they’re not seen anyway, lol). We’ll come back.
We had so much fun at this Sniffspot! The yard was large, fully fenced, and secure. The host left us us water bowl and there were plenty of toys to play with. Our dog had a great time - thank you for sharing your spot with us!
Fully fenced, clean sniff spot! My dog had a great time!
Carlson was very accommodating for my last-minute request to visit. He even made sure to put out water and towels, as the ground was still a little damp from the recent rain. The yard was entirely secure; any gaps under the fence were blocked off with wood or cinderblocks. My dogs saw a few people and dogs walking by; they barked, but due to the structure of the fence, couldn’t see them very well. I wasn’t worried they would get out. The size of the yard was as expected and there were multiple toys out for my dogs to play with. Carlson even has a dog house and dog bed for use on the porch! An added bonus is all the wonderful restaurants and shops in Mystic just down the road that we stopped by after our trip.

Hi my name is Carlson and we want to welcome you to our spot and share a short story as to why we are opening up our yard to sniff spot. We are the owners of our former canine buddies pit/boxer mix sisters, Barley and Hops. We rescued them as a pair from a horrific situation as puppies and worked through over 9 years of making them feel safe, due to their trauma they were always overly excited around other dogs and because of the way they looked people would assume they were aggressive and in turn they became isolated and needing places just like you see on sniff spot. They were gentle with our babies and children and loved our cat and us. When they were given the chance they were good with other dogs but after years of being shunned and never given a chance, we just made a decision to love them and accept that people are harsh. Our spot is in loving memory of our two dogs who knew what it was like to only be given a chance by their family. Our spot is open to all of those with stories similar or not. Everyone deserves a place to celebrate their pets and exercise them without judgment regardless of whether your pet loves other dogs, people etc. Thank you for reading and see you soon.
