55Great wide, fenced space for even just one dog who wants to decompress. Charissa was very knowledgeable and understanding of our needs for trying a new Sniffspot and potential future training!
55My greyhound and I had an amazing first visit today. Charissa was kind enough to meet us and bring over her own greyhound to keep my girl company and also another one she was boarding. The area was perfect for my girl’s needs, They kept a bowl of water filled for us. The grass was freshly cut and the ground was level and very clean. I’m so happy to have found this spot and to have met Charissa and especially to discover she has so much greyhound knowledge and experience. I would highly recommend and will definitely use her services in the future. Thanks again, Charissa!
55This was just what we needed today- a safe, fenced grassy area for our puppy and the whole family to play for awhile. Host was friendly and gracious and we'll definitely be back again!

Description

I’m a dog trainer and I run a dog boarding/daycare from my home (hence all the different fenced spaces). When possible, daycare and boarding dogs will be taken indoors during your visit so that you and your pup can have uninterrupted time to play/work together in a quiet environment. This is not always feasible depending on the day/time of your visit and our schedule on any given day. Check in advance if your dog does not do well if they see/hear other dogs, people, or cars. The main SniffSpot is currently about 7,000 sq ft in our side field, which is perfect for running, playing fetch, working on recall and other obedience commands, and is full of smells to sniff out. You may be directed to a different spot if we NEED to use the side yard during your time slot. Coming soon: - enlarged fenced space (about 10,000 sq ft) - agility equipment - pool

Cleanliness

100% of guests said this spot was as clean as expected during their visit.

Hazards

Small dog owners: there may be small gaps (ie. under/beside some gates) large enough for very small dogs to get through, or for small powerful dogs to push under the fence.

I’m a dog trainer and pet sitter that works from home. We often have dogs around, but never force ones from different families to get along with others (we have separate fenced areas and separate sleeping quarters to accomodate everyone safely).

Hello! My name is Katie and we are so excited to offer our yard space to your furry best friend. My family has lived in an apartment the last two years while house hunting in Crozet, and we have learned how difficult it is to have dogs without access to a yard. Now that we are settling into our new home, we are excited to offer our space for afternoon fetch, morning zoomies, and just lounging in the sunshine. Animals just make the world a better place. You will always have complimentary access to our hammock and swing gazebo but the use of the Solo Stove is an additional fee. Please review our add ons before booking and please text me with any questions you have 571-205-8470. Come enjoy some nature time in our yard in Crozet. :) Arrival Notes: When you arrive you can park anywhere on our gravel drive away. The gate to the right of the house that goes into our garden is where you will enter. Our sunflowers are dead and an eye sore right now, but I’m letting the birds and squirrels finish up their feast of seeds. This “holding” area in the garden gives you a chance to triple check there are no lingering guests or animals in the yard. Once you are in our backyard please shut the gate behind you. Most guests enjoy hanging out in the firepit area where there are hammock swings and seating. Along the fence, you will see a spot for water, toys, and other things I thought you may need. We ask that guests not utilize our small deck near the house, so that our dogs don’t bark and disturb their stay! So far all of our guests have come a second time, so if you end up booking again, I’d love any feedback on how to make your visit extra special. Anyway, that is all for now, thanks again and enjoy the sunshine!! ~Katie
