    Amazing! Such a great enclosed space for my 2 dogs to run and be happy!

    Host replied: Thank you Natasha, glad you loved it :)

  • Sarah s., Sep 16, 2023

    I have 2 large breed dogs and we had lots of space to run and play! There were toys available (the blue jolly ball was definitely a fav) and treats as well! They had a big water bowl filled up too which was very appreciated and a picnic table for the humans. I would definitely recommend.

    Host replied: Thank you for coming Sarah, glad you had a great time :)

  • Michelle S., Sep 14, 2023

    Beautiful big yard! Perfect for practicing training with my dog :)

    Host replied: Thanks Michelle, glad you enjoyed yourselves :)

  • Tammy T., Sep 14, 2023

    Beautiful spot to take the dogs. Very safe and secure. Lots for them to sniff and explore. Highly recommend the spot for your fur kids.

    Host replied: Thanks Tammy..glad you had a good time and thanks for checking the spot out. :)

  • Larysa K., Sep 11, 2023

    My dog loved it! It’s great for a dog to explore and lots of space to run. There’s also a nice little spot at the back to sit and relax in the shade. Will definitely visit again!

    Host replied: Thanks Larysa! Always happy when dogs and owners enjoy the spot. Appreciate your visit :)

  • Lisa M., Sep 10, 2023

    It's such a great place for my two Great Danes to run, sniff, and play. Sheila obviously likes to make visitors welcome. There was water, toys, and treats for the dogs, and seating available for their care givers. Huge secure space with plenty to sniff and explore. We'll definitely be going back!

    Host replied: Thank you Lisa for your review. It truly makes my day when pets and their owners enjoy the space. I appreciate you coming to.the spot! :)

  • Devon F., Sep 4, 2023

    Great space! The dogs loved it.

    Host replied: Thanks Devon..glad you enjoyed it :)

  • Walter C., Sep 2, 2023

    This was a great spot! It is a backyard, but the space is large enough to feel secluded. Our dog had a great time running around and sniffing all the sniffs. There is quite a bit of tall grass, but that didn't stop her. The picnic bench at the far end is a nice place for the humans to hang out while the dogs frolic. One hour might be a bit short, our dog didn't want to leave! Highly recommend, and will definitely be back.

    Host replied: Thanks Walter..glad to hear your dog loved the spot. You are always welcome to visit :)

  • Rebecca H., Sep 2, 2023

    Kimber had a great time exploring and running.

    Host replied: Glad to hear..thanks Rebecca :)

  • Laurel F., Sep 2, 2023

    We visited this sniff spot for a second time with a friend and again, had the most incredible time! The host is so accommodating and the property is lovely. We will definitely be back again!

    Host replied: Thanks so much Laurel, it is always a pleasure to have you guys. The dogs are gorgeous! :))
