Description

⚠️ CLOSED TILL FURTHER NOTICE ⚠️ 👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇 Due to personal medical issues and the recovery process involved — I’m sorry to have to say we will not be reopening till possibly late Spring to Summer of 2023. It’s just too much for me to handle the set up and making sure the spot is kept up between guests while I’m also recuperating & healing. I anticipate another surgery early in the year — so hopefully we can reopen in time for the Summer Season. Please check availability— if we’re able to open sooner, the calendar will be adjusted. Thank you for your understanding and we look forward to seeing you again upon reopening!!! *************************************** WELCOME to BIG YARD for BIG FUN!! This is a fairly big yard to tire out those dogs that just want to run and play and jump around!!! My dogs have their toys and tennis balls strewn about, along with more toys in a big plastic bin by the shed. You & your dog(s) are welcome to play with all the toys while you’re here, but please don’t take them with you. Depending on the time of day there are shady spots to rest too. Feel free to use the deck to rest or the patio chairs & table. Multiple dog water bowls are provided as well which have been cleaned/sanitized and filled with fresh water just prior to your arrival. There’s also a water spigot & hose over by the chicken run if bowls need refilling or if you want to cool or wash your pups off. No towels are provided. **Doggy Pool, Water Mister &/or sprinkler can be set up ON REQUEST! Just check off the “Extra”box when you book and I’ll have it ready for your arrival!! BYOT = Bring Your Own Towels!! We ask kindly if you would make sure to leave the yard as clean as you found it. Please clean up after your dog. There are 2 small waste bins and 2 pooper scoopers available. There are rolls of poop bags too in a basket on the table if you’d rather bag it vs. scooping. There’s a hand sanitizer station located on the post by the gate entering chicken coop & a jug of sanitizer & other supplies in the baskets set out on the table by the shed. I’ve placed some treats out on the table too. They’re in a closed container so “nosey” noses hopefully will not detect them on their own — but as the hooman, feel free to share with your pup!! Please DO NOT open the wooden gate on the north side of the house while you’re visiting. The area behind that gate leads to a side entrance into the house that my dogs have access to via a doggy door. So while I do my best to have my dogs go unnoticed while you’re visiting, they may be in the side yard going potty or curious about your presence and you may see a nose under the gate or hear one of them say hello!! As far as the neighbor’s dog goes…she’s SUPER LOUD & a bit terrifying when she barks and jumps at the fence. She isn’t mean, although she may sound like it, she’s just an untrained & bored pup. I’ve spoken with her owners and we’ve come to an agreement that I will be texting them when someone reserves the Sniffspot. They will then bring Stella indoors so she won’t be a bother to anyone using the spot. If you should find this is NOT the case while you’re here, please message me thru the app RIGHT AWAY and I’ll get the issue taken care of. Also full disclosure: There are a few cameras placed around the property. These are not monitored during your visits, however, they do record activity for me to review at a later time if needed. They have all been set up to be able to keep track of my dog’s activities and were in place long before we became Sniffspot hosts. Let me know if there is anything I can do to make yours or your dog's visit more enjoyable!! If you need anything during your visit, message me thru the app and I should be able to get back to you immediately. Please don’t forget to rate & review!! We love to know how we’re doing as your Sniffspot hosts. Also feel free to share your experiences with pictures and/or videos on social media (Facebook & Instagram) and please share our site listing as well as tag Sniffspot too!! MOST IMPORTANTLY — HAVE FUN!!! Do you want to have a puppy play date?? Are you a dog walker and would like to take your pack on a field trip?? We’d love to have you and all your friends here!! Please message me before you reserve the spot so we can adjust for your booking. HOURS of OPERATION: 7:30a - 8:00p If you are interested in reserving the spot right at opening, please book with as much advance notice as you can. That advance planning helps me to get the space set up the night before and not wake up to a surprise visit or miss your reservation entirely. Thank you for the consideration. New for our spot: Sign up for membership!! Save money by getting a discounted monthly rate with rollover hours and get priority preferred hours with less advance notice for booking. As a member you’re still able to book other times outside of the preferred hours. Any questions — feel free to message me!! Thank you!!

    My dogs had an awesome time!!!

    Host replied: Thank you so much for visiting our spot today! Glanced out once and saw both your pups zooming around the yard!! I’m glad y’all had a great time!! Please come and visit us again!!

  • Brianne and Kevin W., Jul 16, 2022

    Wonderful Sniffspot! Fenner had so much fun! Great size yard for zoomies. Lots of fun toys to play with too! Even had a water mister set up for us! Fenner was a bit too interested in the chickens and did more barking than I liked, but we are working on that. He just wished he could play with them. Lol Definitely recommend this spot!

  • Susan H., Jul 11, 2022

    This is a simply DIVINE Sniff Spot for Bruno, my 4-month-old chocolate lab, and I. The yard is well maintained, with water bowls and toys and even 4 enclosed, very cool chickens! Host Brenda offers a comfy meet-n-greet sitting area where you'll find tons of treats and cool shade for the warmer days. Ms. Brenda also offers many years of knowledge, experience, and skills regarding puppy dogs, and her continual support and encouragement with self and Bruno has been invaluable! BIG YARD, BIG FUN FOR SURE!!!

    Host replied: Thank you, Susan for the kind review!! It’s been my absolute pleasure getting to know you and will be a lot of fun watching Bruno grow into the awesome great dog I know he will be!! We’ll look forward to your visits with us!!

  • Beverly S., Jun 22, 2022

    Good sized yard. Lots of amenities (poop bags, treats, hand sanitizer, water dishes, toys, chairs and table with umbrella). I worried that my wolfhounds would be interested in the chickens. I don’t think the dogs even realized they were there. Good visit. Great Sniffspot!

  • Chantae H., Jun 20, 2022

    The yard was great, and they had a cute little welcome sign, treats displayed etc. However, taking away a star because the neighbor to the right has a german shepherd that she let loose in the front yard. I came here because my dog doesn't really like other dogs, so it was a little frustrating to have a gsd antagonizing my pup at the gate.

    Host replied: OH MY GOSH!! I AM SO SORRY about the encounter with the neighbor’s dog. If I am understanding correctly, did the neighbor’s dog come to the gate in my front yard?? If so, I am NOT AT ALL happy with how they think it’s ok to let their dog out loose. I will have a talk with them and hope you’ll give us another shot at making your visit the most comfortable for your pups.

  • Carolena C., Jun 4, 2022

    Great Place! Will Most Definitely Be Booking Here In The Future(: Has All The Amenities !

    Host replied: Thank you for your first time visit with us today!! We look forward to having you and your pups back again!! Enjoy the rest of your weekend!!

  • Katie S., Jun 4, 2022

    We love this Sniffspot! Big yard, lots of toys, plus chickens! It’s a hidden gem for sure.

    Host replied: Thank you Katie for your great reviews! We love having you and Twyla as return guests!! Enjoy your day & we look forward to your next visit!!

  • Kayleigh T., May 22, 2022

  • Katie S., May 22, 2022

  • Tarra L., May 21, 2022

Meet your host

I’m a hard working animal lover trying to provide my animals and hopefully others with an area for all to enjoy. We understand some dogs & their hoomans just need a safe & private place to play and are happy to share our space with you.

Welcome to our cozy little playground. We have two corgis who love to run, play fetch and just being in the outdoor space. We know how hard it can be to find a safe space for your furbabies to run and enjoy freely. This is one of the biggest reason why we moved to our forever home in Lynnwood. And we’d love to share this space with you. Please kindly pick after your dogs. We put in a lots of love and effort into maintaining this space and we hope you love this space as much as we do. GENERAL ANNOUNCEMENT 1) We’ve been noticing an increase number of dog waste that’s been left behind. We understand it’s challenging to see/locate them with all the muddiness in the yard sometimes. However, for all pups health and safety please ensure you pick up after your pups and take some time to go through the yard prior to your departure. This is especially important as we are currently not always on-site and are unable to reset/sweep the yard as frequently as we’d like to. We appreciate those of you who put in the extra effort to care for our yard like your own. Thank you so so much for your love! 2) We've recently fill in some holes in the yard. Please kindly refrain letting your dog dig in the yard as potholes can be hazardous for both the humans and our short legged furiends. WET SEASON The yard can get pretty muddy with consistent rainfall. We recommend bringing extra towels for the pups. It is usually in a much better state after a rain free day. PARKING You're welcome to park in our driveway. Please kindly park on the right side and enter from the fence to the left of our house. PATIO In the backyard, feel free to sit and relax on the patio, but please kindly keep the pups off outside the white gate, this is to help maintain our furniture’s cleanliness. WATER During winter season, the water spigot will be covered and not be made available. Please kindly bring your own water for your pups. Otherwise, for all other times the water station for the pups is located by the west side of the house near the spigot. Feel free to use it for refill if needed. DOG TOYS You're welcome to entertain your pups with the toys provided located at the entrance to the side yard / prior entering the grass area. However if a toy is accidentally misplace during a play please let us know. DOG WASTE Please be aware of where your pups are exploring and kindly go through the entire yard once before your departure to ensure that all dog waste has been picked up and properly tied and disposed in the light blue bin beside the toy station. HVAC UNIT We have a HVAC unit on site. It is currently fenced in with a simple fencing system however please kindly avoid letting your pups mark on the fence / unit and refrain from placing your belongings on top of the unit. DIGGING Please kindly refrain letting your dog dig in the yard as potholes can be hazardous for both the humans and our short legged furiends. REACTIVE DOGS We are located in a residential neighborhood. Please be aware that: - Neighbors and dogs may be be visible prior to entering our yard. - Occasionally people may be walking their dog on the other side of the fence. - Our neighbor owns a dog and he/she occasionally goes out for potty breaks in their yard (separated from us by a double fence). - We have two dogs that stay inside with us. However, my younger corgi can be vocal when she’s playing with her brother. And if your pup is also on the more vocal side, my corgis tend to like to "answer" or reciprocate. In the last three scenarios, both humans and dogs will not be visible from the yard however can certainly be heard. EXCESSIVE BARKING As we’re located in a neighborhood community, we kindly ask that you help keep your pups’ barking during plays to the minimum. MEMBERSHIP AND BENEFITS 2 hours / month = $12 4 hours / month = $23 8 hours / month = $44 Members have access to member-only hours and two weeks booking window instead of one. Currently I am no longer on-site during most of the visits. Most messages/communication will happen at the end of the day. If you have any concerns or discovers anything that's been left behind (dog waste, personal belongings) please let us know via message and we will try our best to help resolve the issue.
