Walter & Bug's Private Dog Park In Kent / Covington

Hello and welcome to our Sniffspot! This is our first time being a Sniffspot host and we hope you enjoy your time here. It's a large, open one acre pasture with plenty of room to run and play. Tall fir trees, farmland and single family homes surround the property. Double gated entrance for security. Park along the fence on the gravel drive. Plenty of room for your pup to enjoy the zoomies! A few things below to note, thank you! * due to the burn ban, wildland fires and the dryness of our land, we ask for no smoking on the property at this time, thank you *please note: this pasture was used for a month (June 2023) by our goats & chickens and so the dirt in areas may be infused with the flavor of goat. While we have cleaned much of it, it can still be tasty to some dogs so wanted you to be aware * The terrain of the pasture does have some dips and there is a section of mown grass, as well as a portion of long pasture grass, and sticks from the fir trees. Wearing solid shoes will help you navigate the land. *There are three chickens on a neighboring fence line and the gate to their henhouse yard has a sign (don't let the chickens out, no matter what they say), as well as a secure gate latch plus bungee cord. They will stay on the far side of their yard, and hide under the shrub/tree cover so are usually not be visible from the Sniffspot pasture, but wanted to share in case this is bothersome to some pup guests. * September may be too late in the season, but if you are interested, please do give us advance notice (3+hours) if you would like the small plastic kiddie pool filled prior to your arrival. Thanks!

The Perfect Swimming Spot for Dogs

We have a fenced property on a lake, perfect for dogs that like to run free, play and swim. On the steps of the back deck, there is a water bowl and poop bags. If the bowl is not full or if the water needs freshening, there is a hose on the side of the house. Our lot is fully fenced with a wood fence all along the perimeter. It is a privacy fence, meaning you can’t see through to the neighbors yard. There are some spots where it does not go all the way to ground, but should not be an issue for larger dogs. Please see photos to make sure it is a good fit. The front gate to the property is a metal farm gate that swings open and is held closed with a strong rubber bungee. Please see photo to make sure that it is suitable for your needs. The back of the property has a gate leading down to the lake. It is a smaller, shorter gate than the perimeter gate that fences the property. There is also a photo of this fence to make sure that it suits your needs. After passing through that gate, there are no fences leading down to the lake or at the waters edge, but the stairway down to the lake and dock are lined with trees and thick brush. RULES: Please do not allow your dogs to dig on the property. Please clean up after your dog. We strive to keep our property as clean and beautiful as possible for all human and furry friend visitors. Please keep your dog in the yard and lake area. Back deck is off limits. No smoking on the property. Please arrive and depart on time. This is especially important if your sweet fur baby is reactive or anxious as we would hate for reservations to overlap due to timing issues

Fletcher Farm

*fall/winter update* During the month of October we host a pumpkin patch every weekend and must close the Sniffspot for everyone’s safety. If you are a member please contact us if you aren’t available during the week to use your time. Well socialized pups are always welcome at the patch. 🎃 We have various levels of flooding during the winter; the spot has is anticipated to have mud and large puddles. At times we may need to close the spot due to excessive flooding (no dry land!). Please reach out if you have questions about how much water is in the spot. Keep in mind we also have increased migratory waterfowl in the pasture adjacent. We have new neighbors at the west end of the pasture. Please be aware there may be construction during your visit, we apologize for any inconvenience. 1 acre of flat field in a beautiful setting. One large tree in the corner. Fully fenced approx 4.5’ with predator fencing (a very small dog may be able to get out). We have motion lights that come on at night, not super bright but makes the spot visible during early night winters. Boarded by two, large pastures, a private road with limited use and our barn. Occasionally during the wet months flocks of geese/ducks may land in the wetlands adjacent. We have goats and chickens but they are on the other side of the property and should not be seen/heard. We have a dog ‘Veles’ that will be on the other side of the property or in the house. There is a covered bench and trash can in the spot, fresh water is also available. An outdoor bathroom is available for use, see map. When using the bathroom please keep your pup in your car as it is near our goats and free range chickens. We look forward to hosting you and your pup! Please reach out if you have questions. -Jenn & Drew
