Description

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.

    What a great find! Everything was just as described in the post. It felt SUPER safe! Fence and gate were secure and in great shape. My boy and I played ball for the hour. He loved it! We will be back!!

  • DANIEL R., Mar 14, 2023

    Excellent backyard space, poop bags and toys were provided and our two corgis had a wonderful time.

  • Debbie M., Feb 27, 2023

    When you first walk in there is a pile of very old dog poop. Then on the other side of the house there were several piles of old dog poop. It was our first time using the app and I was disappointed.

  • Amanda D., Nov 16, 2022

    There was quite a bit of barking from inside the house, and the neighbors yard, but we were expecting that. I ended up having to pick up a few poops that weren’t from my dogs which is what I knocked a star for, one of my dogs ran through someone else’s poo. But otherwise it was great, and it being so close to home, we will definitely be back.

  • Maddie & Charlie A., Nov 8, 2022

    great space very cozy, would come again

  • Steve C., Nov 6, 2022

    Secure fence, lots of space to run around and play! Great spot🙌

  • Amy S., Oct 27, 2022

    Their space is perfect for my two dogs to run and roam and of course… SNIFF! The space was clean, tidy and well maintained and I appreciated that very much! Bear & Oreo will definitely come again! Thank you!

  • Cheyenne C., Oct 14, 2022

    Dogs had fun! Great yard to run around in. Although for some reason my dog hated the deck and her ball kept going under there and I had to go get it for her. Overall very fun! Definitely coming back. Thank you.

  • Alexis M., Oct 12, 2022

    Our dogs had so much fun! The yard was well kept and a nice area. We will be coming back!

    The very best Sniffspot

Meet your host

We have two corgis who simply LOVES life and enjoy playing with other dog anytime they are up for it. However we know that not all off-leash dog parks offer a controlled and safe environment for the pups. We then started socializing our pups in our backyards inviting their friends to come along. They enjoy different games, puzzles, and canine enrichment activities. And now we are sharing this space with everyone.

Natural wonderland for exploration!

The fencing is very secure here. This spot is over 1+ acres. The middle area is mostly wooded with some semblance of a trail throughout, though its mostly just left in its natural state so you may have to step over some fallen logs while wandering about. It is long and narrow shaped. Each end has a grassy more open area. The whole area stays reletively dry year round due to the tree cover. Not a ton of open grass space for far throwing fetch, but lots of space for dogs to run and explore in a narutal feeling setting, and fetch could be played in the grassy area closest to where you enter as there is a 50+ throwing distance or so there. All of our fencing is 5+ feet tall, just installed this last year so very sturdy. It runs pretty close to the ground so even small dogs should be safe. There is a double wide gate to enter. Please try to do your best to pick up after your own dogs waste. None of our own animals use this space to it remains nice for all who visit. There is no water access here so also please bring your own water and dish for your dog to stay hydrated while they play. There are not usually other dogs visible from this space. A neighbor a few houses down has 2 dogs that are sometimes out but can only be seen through the trees in one 10' linear span of fence along my space. If anyone is walking a dog along the road, they would be visible through the trees from that side of fencing, but again from a distance, and rarely a dog may be out in another fenced area of my property as a couple of my renters who also live here have dogs in other fenced yards so when they are home they may be out. But they dont share a direct fenceline so would never be nose to nose with your dogs. And I will always have my dogs inside if you have booked a day in advance, and will try my best to have them inside if im able during a same day reservation. If you are worried about other dogs because yours are reactive to possibly seeing other dogs nearby and its a same day reservation, please message me ahead of time so I can either make sure there wont be any other dogs around at that time on my property for sure, or let you know a time when that could be the case if its not possible during the time you reserved origionally. Thanks!

BIG YARD for BIG FUN!!! (CLOSED— See 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!!

It's a Dog's World! Room to Run and Have Fun!

** 2/10/2023: Your dog WILL get MUDDY - my yard has nowhere near as much grass as it used to. Feel free to spray your dog(s) off with the hose and/or use the towels provided. ** 8/26/2022: I just started offering memberships - please sign up if you're interested and we'll see how this goes. You can choose 2, 4, or 8 hours/month. ** 8/12/2022: I just updated my spot settings to allow a timeslot to be booked no more than 14 days into the future. (Although preferably within a few days/one week is best - my spot's day-to-day accessibility changes often!) So, if it looks like my spot is closed, it's not! It's just no longer showing availability so far into the future. ** Thank you for continuing to leave a review every time you visit and add photos - it helps a lot, and I LOVE seeing the photos of all the cute dogs enjoying the yard! I have quite a big yard for this area. It is fully enclosed by a 6' wooden fence. Between the yard and the patio the total area is roughly 3200 sq feet. I have a rockery that dogs love to run up and down, juniper bushes, a large covered and uncovered patio area, a kiddie pool in the hot weather, 2 water bowls (and a hose for replenishing the water/pool if needed), lots of tennis balls and toys, and a large perimeter to sniff! There is a bench, small table, and some Adirondack chairs in the backyard (and more chairs and a larger table up on the patio) for the humans... feel free to move them around as you wish! There is plenty of space to throw balls and toys; if you have mobility issues and cannot go down into the backyard, you can stay up on the patio and have your dog bring the ball back to you. Most dogs love to run up & down the rockery! Your dog(s) will be very tired and happy by the end of the Sniff! Side note: I do dog-sitting, dog walks, and drop-in visits through Rover, and I always love to meet new doggos if they are friendly! :) Thanks and enjoy the time with your dog(s)!!
