Description

Hi furriends! My pup, Cova, and I invite you to enjoy our private backyard for a FUN, fully fenced-in, experience that both dog and owner will be sure to love! Starting in September, Cova will donate 10% of his proceeds to a local doggie business or charity. Cova’s Review: Great yard with lots of space for running and zoomies! I love to do laps around the pool (above ground) and play fetch along the side of the house! I enjoy rolling around on the turf and chasing the few lizards that dare to come around! Natalie’s Review: I bought my house so my boy, Cova pup, could have a nice backyard and I would absolutely love to share it with others! It’s not perfect yet but slowly making progress:) There are a few nice seating areas both people and pups may enjoy. It’s super calming with beautiful trees to look up at. Cova and I like to do PAWJECTs together and installed a section of turf, putt putt, did some minor landscaping, and planted a guava tree! Still lots we want to do but in good time. There’s a hose and plenty of water available as needed. We put out clean sanitized bowls with fresh water (one bowl with ice) as we can! The area is completely monitored with security cameras (to monitor when my pup is outside) but there has never been an issue with safety as we live in a very safe and nice neighborhood. There are two locked and monitored gates, one through the car port in the front, and one in the back to the alley. I work from home and am flexible should you be interested in using our space. I will block off the dog doors so the backyard is private. Cova has two dog doors but when you book our private space, I will close his door so he cannot get outside. Cova loves making new fwiends and if your dogs are friendly and would like to play, let us know and add on the pug pup playtime extra. Entry for our Sniffspot guests is currently from the front through the carport gate- I will unlock and lock the white gate for you as needed. Access instructions will be sent to you upon booking. We have a ton of dog toys including balls, tug toys, frisbee, and a tiny dog pool (let us know if you would like to use!)! We also have a ton of human toys! If you would like to use any of our backyard games, please let us know and we can pull them out for you to use for an additional fee. You are free to play putt putt as you’d like. We absolutely LOVE seeing pictures of your doggies having fun and encourage you to share them with us as part of your review. Happy tail wags make my heart so happy! Our Rules: -Please do not let your dog jump up onto the above ground pool (a busted pool would not be fun for anyone involved). -Do not use the above ground pool without explicit consent (we may open up the pool option in 2023) -Please pick up after your dogs waste. There is a dog waste station located near the entry/exit available for waste disposal. If you can, try to limit your dog from pottying on the turf, especially the putt putt space. We understand though that when a dogs gotta go, they gotta go! -No smoking of any kind on our property -Per sniffspot agreement, all dogs must be vaccinated AND ON FLEA MEDICATION! -Most importantly, HAVE SO MUCH FUN:) Thank you, Natalie and Cova

Hi I’m Natalie and my pup’s name is Cova. We heard about Sniffspot and immediately wanted to join in on the fun and open our backyard up for fellow friends to enjoy. I work from home and am a consultant in the cybersecurity and compliance space. I absolutely LOVE dogs! I also enjoy traveling, the beach, and explorations with Cova. We also like doing house projects (or pawjects) together. Feel free to follow along on cova’s adventures through his Instagram @covathepug 10% of our proceeds will be donated to one of our favorite, local, dog-loving businesses 🐶

Paw's Playground!

Fully Fenced

0.02 acres

Residential fenced in yard with artificial turf. (Please note, turf may be warmer in spots without shade). We are in a residential area and have no control over neighbors dogs. We do have dogs ourselves and I do my best to keep them away from windows and in another room. Sometimes they bark. Plenty of seating, dog toys, water hook up and sprinklers are available to use. Fire pit available to use. Off street parking(Driveway located in back of property). We also have a kiddy pool with real grass for them to sit, eat, etc. we can remove it from yard upon request. (Seasonal when available) Dog bags are provided if they go potty. All we ask is you tie the bag and place on top of brown box. We will dispose. You can bring anything for your pup that you wish and we can provide anything you may need. Please let us know in advance so we can accommodate requests. We decided to offer our yard on Sniffspot to provide other dogs and their humans a place to play and feel safe. We once had no yard and dog parks were not always an option.
