Description

Welcome to our quiet country Sniffspot! Nestled in a peaceful neighborhood surrounded by farmland, our yard offers a calm escape from busy dog parks. While our property is about an acre, you'll have access to a securely fenced area where your pup can run, sniff, play, and explore at their own pace. We have two dogs of our own, but they'll be safely inside the house during your visit, giving you and your dog private use of the space. Because of the quiet setting, this spot is great for dogs who prefer to avoid crowded parks or need a more relaxed environment. You'll find a selection of toys to keep your pup entertained, along with plenty of interesting scents to investigate. Depending on the season and time of day, you may even spot local wildlife such as deer, rabbits, squirrels, or a variety of birds. Although you can't see them from our yard, there are horse farms just down the road that add to the peaceful country atmosphere. We hope you and your pup enjoy stretching your legs, playing fetch, or simply relaxing in a safe, private space. Please remember to clean up after your dog so we can continue providing a welcoming spot for everyone. We can't wait to host you!

Hi, I'm April! I'm a professional who works from home and shares my property with my two dogs, Bear and Amara. Over time, I've created this little backyard oasis as a peaceful place for us to relax, recharge, and enjoy the outdoors. I know how much dogs love having space to sniff, explore, and just be themselves, and I wanted to share this quiet corner of the country with other pups and their people. Whether your dog loves to run, play, investigate new smells, or simply enjoy a calm environment away from busy parks, I hope this space feels like a relaxing retreat. Bear and Amara will be happily relaxing inside during your visit so you and your pup can enjoy the yard privately. We look forward to welcoming you!

Welcome to our yard… and home to our “$10 guarantee.” We love our animals above all else and want to make sure everyone can afford to have a large, safe place for their pups to run and play. That’s why, despite our overwhelming growth in popularity over the past year, we pledge to all our visitors that we won’t raise the price above $10. This is a very large fenced yard behind a single family home close to the end of a cul de sac. Back of yard is up against a small stream and a tree line. There is a small grassy trench that runs part of the yard so be careful if running with your dog! If you share a post or story of your dog(s) using our space to your Instagram, feel free to tag us @dominoandfosters and/or use the “Domino’s Digs” location tag! We love seeing pics of happy pups.
