55Lila loved sniffing and running around! Nice seating areas with shade.
55The spot was great for Ruby! She loved the toys and bones and treats. Thanks!
55Our second visit to this beautiful Sniffspot. Highly recommended!!!
55The fencing was very secure and private, she also has extra curtains in place by the patio for extra privacy. Lots of toys, bones, and little treats to use! Also loved the amenities such as bags, tick repellant, and bug spray. Lovely plants and lots of running room. Also plenty of places to sit, or even lounge in a hammock. Was perfect for my girls. The catio also is secure and has platforms for kitty to climb, a huge scratching post, and even a litter box. Very luxurious and private for reactive dogs. Thank you for having us!
55Large beautiful back yard with toys, bones, sticks, fresh water and treats. Great combination of sunny and shady spots to explore. Lush green grass for rolling around on. Nice spots for people to hang out too.
55This was a great sniff spot. All the cool toys, bones and expansive space to run and lounge. Has everything you need including water bowls,a towel,paw wipes and even a peek hole in the fence. 100/10 would recommend!
55We had a very nice visit again! The sniff spot is clean,very welcoming with a lot of thoughtful touches like,clean water for the dogs,treats,lots of dog toys.pooper scooper and poop bags.also the humans had a lot of places to sit on the deck.we will definitely be back!
55Rachel is a great host and my dog, Bella had a great time!
55Always love this spot, gets better and better every time! So many thoughtful touches that are really appreciated
55Very well maintained spot. Thoughtful host—lots of toys, clean water, poop bags ,etc.

Description

UPDATE on 8/25 - I have been in touch with the city and the neighbor has not responded and has not removed the tree. The city will put out a request for bids next week and within the next month or so cut the tree down. I will continue to add updates as I know more and will open the calendar once the tree is removed. Thanks!! I had to close my spot for some time due to a neighbors tree hanging over my yard that is unsafe. I am working with the city to correct the situation but it will take time. So sorry!! Welcome to Gracie’s Oasis & Catio! A Private Sanctuary for Pups and Cats ​Gracie’s Oasis is a fully-fenced, well-maintained yard in Brooklyn Park designed for pets who need a safe, quiet place to play. Whether you have a reactive dog who needs zero-distraction time or you're looking for a peaceful spot to hang out with your pets, we’ve got you covered. ​🐾 Featured Amenity: The Catio ​We are proud to offer a dedicated onsite Catio! If you’re looking for a secure outdoor experience for your feline friends, this is the spot. ​Note: Please give me a heads-up if you’re bringing a cat—I will happily set out a litter box and fresh water at no extra charge! ​🏡 Perfect for Home Showings ​If you are currently selling your home and need a reliable, private place to relax with your pets during a showing or open house, the Oasis provides a stress-free environment for both dogs and cats. ​✨ Multiple Seating Areas: ​Dining Set: A table with four chairs—perfect for a meal or getting some work done. ​Bonfire Seating: A dedicated area around the fire pit (please note: the fire pit is for seating only and not for active use). ​Hammock: The ultimate spot to relax while your pets explore. ​✨ What to Expect: ​Total Privacy: We are resident animal owners, but we keep our pets inside and blackout curtains drawn during your stay to ensure your pups have the yard all to themselves with zero visual distractions. ​Easy Access: Feel free to park in the driveway for safer and easier loading/unloading of your fur-babies. ​Fully Stocked: We provide fresh water in a sanitized bowl that hasn't been shared with other guests, dog treats, waste bags, a scoop, and an onsite garbage can for easy disposal. For your comfort and safety, we also provide sanitizing wipes, and both human and pet-safe bug spray.

Welcome to the Oasis! I’ve been head-over-paws in love with animals for as long as I can remember. This space was truly built for the whole family—dogs, cats, and humans alike! Whether your pups are running the yard, your cats are exploring the catio, or you’re relaxing in the hammock, I hope you and all your fur-babies feel right at home.

Rice Creek Sniffspot

Fully Fenced
1.3 acres

NOTE: we will be cleaning and storing away the agility equipment for the winter season starting in September. The agility equipment displayed are only available during the summer months. A large, open 1.25 acre fenced in yard with multiple small hills that is bordered on the west side by a public walking trail (with 6 foot fence) and on the north side by Rice Creek (with 5 foot fence). Note that the creek is not directly accessible from the Sniffspot. During the winter months, deer and foxes pass just outside of the fenced in yard, while in warmer months the creek entices additional wildlife as well as the occasional canoeist or kayak. Agility equipment pictured are available during the warmer months and are not available in the winter. There's abundant street parking as we are located at a dead-end. Please do not park in the driveway. Enter the yard using the gate located to the left of the garage.

Three plus private fully fenced in acres of running and romping in the woods.

Fully Fenced
3 acres

Come and enjoy our own private 3plus acres of wooded with some open space and trails. Fully fenced in and secure. So much space for your fur babies to run and explore. No need to stress with other dogs that may be reactive. Or maybe your pup doesn’t play well with others and prefers their own space. Our private dog park is for you. This space is amazing. It is not attached to our back yard and is a completely separate and private area. A great place for play dates with others, maybe even a picnic for the humans. Bring your snowshoes if you would like a bit of a workout yourself off trail in the deeper snow! ***2-16-26 the field is in poor conditions due to the frozen ground and warm temperatures. Please watch your footing. Early morning guest the low areas will refreeze and be crazy slippery, later guests need waterproof boots. PLEASE NOTE: Zero tolerance for smoking of ANYTHING while on our property. You may smoke in your own personal vehicle. But also, do NOT leave your dogs unattended. Fill any holes you pup digs and return toy to bin. Also, in the winter months, please be aware that their is no lighting in the field. The designated Sniffspot parking area has ample lighting but none in the field.

Fully Fenced

**Formerly Pink Pitbull Club** We used to bring our dogs here to Pink Pitbull Club, and when the opportunity to buy came along we jumped on it. We have one reactive girl who has just loved having a huge yard to play and not worry about other people and dogs, I'm sure your pups will love it as well! The front gate is remotely controlled to let guests in, and a button on the inside of the gate for whenever you need to leave. There is a doorbell camera set up for when you arrive, just ring the bell, I'll say hello and let you in :). There's an additional doorbell camera right on the inside of the gate in case you need anything during your visit. I'm happy to chat on the app for any folks that are Deaf/HOH to get in or need help. The yard is 5ft fence with a privacy screen. There are trees and shrubs for your pups to sniff and explore, as well as a wide open lawn perfect for fetch. There are parkour options and a ball pit in the back of the yard and a toy box up near the gate. For summer, we've got some water options to keep your pups cool - a kiddie pool and splash pad, as well as the hose with a mister attachment! Towels provided to dry off before you leave.

Nearly 1/3 of an acre in Roseville available for your dog to sniff until their heart’s content! Open mowed grassy area wide enough for zoomies and long enough for fetch, as well as natural/unmanicured shaded areas for “jungle sniffari’s”. Not far off of Highway 36 and 35E, enjoy the perks of room to run while having the privacy of your own space. Plenty of seating for humans underneath a shaded gazebo, with a table and basic amenities for guest use. Please be aware that we do have other dogs in the neighborhood.
