Our dogs loved this space! Large running space with a pool for the pups to swim and play with each other. The access was easy and the instructions were straight forward. A great way to spend the morning! It was my dog’s birthday and he loves to swim, this spot made him so happy☺️

Awesome spot and easy to get to. Loved how big it was and had chairs. Dewayne is great. He has no control of this - Only thing was one of my dogs got a bit nervous/ended up shutting down because of the golfers across the way (crack of the club). Sound sensitive dogs may not last long! My other dog very much enjoyed herself and loved all the smells.

My pup and I had a great time at Lyndi's space. We just had leave earlier than expected due to Texas mosquitoes. I didn't use the bug spray, and there was a nice big fan in the backyard to help blow air, but it's not Lyndi's fault that mosquitoes really like me! LOL! :D My pup on the other hand was happily curious to wander around safely in this great space for doggies.

This home has a beautiful open well maintained backyard. There is a covered patio area with very comfortable seating and a fan to keep air flow going. The hose is very easy to work and has a head with multiple sprayer options for dogs that enjoy the water. There is a bowl provided for drinking water for the dogs and a few toys. The gate is very well intact and the entry point on the gate is easy to find and use. If you have the review this long then it is useful to know that I do have a dog that is reactive towards dogs she has never met and she never once noticed the homeowners dogs. I very much felt like I had my privacy with my own dogs.

Gabby is super nice and a very courteous host who made us feel welcomed right away! Backyard is spacious with plenty of room for dogs to run and get the zoomies after jumping in the pool! Just be sure to bring some bug spray as there are mosquitos, but other than that this is a rad sniffspot. We will definitely be bringing our dogs back, thank you, Gabby!

As new town home dwellers that recently moved to the area (and have a substantially smaller backyard for our nervous and reactive dog) we were THRILLED to find Lyndi’s place. It’s evident how much she loves dogs and wants every single one that visits to have a wonderful time! She has thought of everything- tons of space for sitting, toys galore, bath towels and dog shampoo, treats, and so much space that my dog enjoyed sniffing every single bit of. She even had a bug zapper and bug repellent available for muggy houston evenings. My dog loved zooming around her yard and splashing around in the kiddie pool she filled up for us. We will DEFINITELY be back and can’t recommend this little pup oasis highly enough!

Perfect!! My two senior pups just like walking around and smelling things, and this property gave them that. Was able to give my smaller guy a bath thanks to some shampoo and towels being set out; along with waters, snacks(pet and human) and other goodies. The fan made sitting outside so much better. Will definitely be back!!

Our first time using Sniffspot was a success! My boy enjoyed his time in the pool. The area was clean and easy to access, with plenty of shaded areas to get out of the sun. The host’s pup was quietly watching through the window, and he/she was so well mannered! So cute, thank you for letting us borrow his yard for a bit. :)

Had such a great experience with my first Sniffspot outing with Sadie! Sadie loved all the space she was able to roam around in. Location was easy to find, having a Sniffspot sign up was so helpful, plenty of room to park. Area was peaceful without too many people or dogs around, which is such a plus for my reactive dog. I love the attention they put to the space, filling it up with agility tools and chairs for the humans. Highly recommend and definitely will be back there again!

This spot has a good sized pool and tall privacy fences. We were there during sunset, so the pool lights and overhead lights were on. The hosts were kind to leave dog treats, sunscreen, bug spray, and pool toys. This is a great spot for dogs and humans to chill in the pool day or night.

It was our first time using Sniffspot! And my dogs loved having space to run around in a backyard!! It was my little ones first birthday so I wanted to do something special, and she had a blast!! They did hear some dogs/people from inside and mine tend to be a little reactive to sounds, so Riv got a little hyper focused and we ended up leaving early. Other than that they loved it and I enjoyed getting to see them run and play

Great spot, kept clean, clear directions and instructions. The host is very responsive and easy to communicate with, wants you and your dogs to have the best experience. The neighborhood is extremely peaceful and nice, we did not see any other dogs or people around really. We also visited during sunset and it’s beautiful, but even during day it should be good since there is LOTS of shade provided by trees alongside the fence! The fence was secure with no openings. There is a sign that says Sniffspot and has its logo on it on the fence closer to the ground - you will easily identify the lot by it.
Our dogs are not active (they do not run or play) and prefer to just lay down or sniff around, but they still had fun: one found some sticks to nibble on, and another one just enjoyed the sunset! Will come again, recommend the spot.

I wish this host owned a bar or something because they are SO thoughtful and friendly. The amenities at this Spot are…. “spot on” haha. Seriously! Love everything, especially all the bath stuff! My dogs just wanted to wander around and smell things, but that’s good enough for me. It was great to just bathe the pups and then hang out in the awesome chair spaces that this Spot offers while they all air-dried. We will definitely be back!

Kayla's spot was super nice! The yard was really cute and well maintained with nice places to sit. The fences are tall wooden fences, so the dogs can't see through. It was very secure! They provided water for my dog and offered me a drink as well.
I did hear a dog across the street barking, but it was not a big issue. This is a great spot and Autumn and I will definitely be coming back!

This is an awesome property with tons a space for several dogs to run. I took one of my clients dog that is super social but for future visits I would caution any other owner that comes and is looking to use agility equipment or doesn’t not have a social dog that there is an amazing social husky mix in the property. It was great for my clients dog as I just brought her to have more space to run while I dog sit her but was not expecting to see another dog.
Agility equipment is home made but is great for dogs to practice.
I would come again❤️

Lyndi's place was super nice! The backyard was super cute with string lights and chairs. She left out towels, shampoo, dog treats, and toys for us. The fence was super secure. We heard a dog or two barking in the distance, but it was not an issue. I really loved it and will definitely be going back!

Our favorite spot!
Big, clean, fenced yard, with water available, agility poles for the pups. But what my pups love the most is that there are many trees and leaves for them to sniff and explore, and a lot of space for them to run around at full speed.
For those with reactive dogs, the host does have a dog, but he is kept on a separate area and is very quiet. My very reactive pups barely bark at or notice him. I love that this spot is secluded enough that they are rarely exposed to other dogs or people so they can relax instead of just bark the whole visit, like they would at a dog park.

Great spot, perfect to let my dog run and play! Great for fetch, and lots of beautiful trees for scent-work exercises. I read the reviews and brought water, which I recommend. But they had a bowl out there and everything so it was super easy and convenient. They also had a bin for poopy bags, which was super thoughtful. I will note that my dog is a bit smaller (13 lbs), and I was worried that he might be able to fit through some of the little gaps in the fence. If you have a medium or big dog, it probably wouldn’t be an issue. I also scheduled it super last minute, and they were still very accommodating, so it was a total life saver for me 🤗 I would recommend this one.

The location was easy to find and there were no parking issues. The Host responded to messages in a timely manner. The listed amenities were provided as stated and the information from the site was consistent. Cup's Haven photos were true to the spot's presentation. The availability of treehouse, swing set, agility equipment, and chairs were a wonderful addition in convenience and to engage in fun stuff besides watching the dogs have all the fun.
The private dog park was clean and had no musky smell. I didn't have to worry about looking out for poop. The gate and enclosed area was stable and secure enough for me to not feel my dogs would go lost. The large open space and a few hidden areas still enable me to view the dogs. I have two mix Labrador Retriever dogs (55 lbs and 62 lbs) and both were able to run, roam, play, explore, chase, and do laps.
My dogs were happy with the visit to Cup's Haven. I would book again.

Beautiful, clean, well-maintained and LARGE area for my big boy to stretch those long legs and play with his buddy!
Most dogs parks are not safe (for various reasons) and anywhere you go in public, irresponsible owners have their dogs off leash - and when you have a mastiff who is not friendly toward most strange dogs, that’s a possibly dangerous and very stressful issue. This is private and safe! Perfect for us!
I will definitely be back!
Thank you so much for putting your property on Sniffspot!
