55Great backyard, very clean and quiet. Our old lady was a bit anxious about the water but it was great to have the rest of the yard to play fetch as well! Robin B.

55My daughter had talked about being able to swim w/ her fur baby & I came across Sniffspot. We booked immediately! The host gave great instructions so we knew exactly what to do before arrival and answered all my questions. We met both Mo & Dan which were super nice & helpful. My family enjoyed the pool and yard w/ our fur baby! Thanks Mo & Dan for helping make my children’s dream of swimming with their dog come true! We will definitely be back! Jamisha G.

55Hosts were incredibly kind and offered additional instructions when they could. We had an absolute blast introducing our 6 month old puppy to a pool!! And she was definitely putting the “Sniff” in “Sniffspot”!
Will definitely return!!

55Took my two doggos out for a swim as a treat. It was last minute but the host was able to accommodate us. Unfortunately for her she had to answer to my old lady Labrador about how the steak she was grilling up was in fact, not for her. We ended up doing extra pool skimming as well because the same old lady managed to kick a honking clod of dirt out of the planter and into the pool. The pool was fantastic, the backyard itself was lovely, and the host was great. I hope we don't get banned for the dirt maneuver and can come back another day to play again. My dogs left (reluctantly) exhausted and spent the rest of the evening sleeping off the fun. Tracy D.

55Instructions on where to go and get in were perfect. The spot was AMAZING!!! Dexter has only played in a few inches of water and was hesitant to swim. Host gave me some advice on how to ease him into swimming and both Dexter and I had a great time. I had a very tired puppy when I got home! And that is saying a lot because he is a high speed playing machine. I will definitely be going back and 1000% recommend this spot to anyone!!!Shane M.

55Such a great sniffspot! The cleanest pool I’ve been to in a long time! The host sent clear instructions on how to access the property before the visit. Host left out a fresh bowl of water, treats and lots of pool toys. There is also a nice grassy area perfect for playing fetch. We used this as a pit stop on our road trip north and it was easy to access from 75. Thanks again! Michelle M.

55This sniffspot is excellent! Our dog loved the toys and jumping in the pool. We heard the dog(s) inside a few times, but it wasn't loud enough to be distracting. I don't think our other dog who is a bit reactive would be concerned with it. Overall a wonderful experience! Brooke M.

55A great backyard for your pups! A safe way to get your dog used to swimming. We had tried taking ours to dog parks with water but never felt settled with all the other dogs around. Good detailed instructions for an easy entrance and exit. Highly recommend. Tara P.
