Location

Description

We have 5 acres of land that is fully enclosed with a fence. Roughly 1.5 acres - 2 acres is cleared land, perfect for running and activity. The remainder is forested. We reside next to a nature preserve, so wild animal encounters can occur. We have seen bears, coyotes, and snakes. Most of these occur in the morning time. The fence up front has some larger holes that a small dog could get through, but this is far away from the primary area located in the back. There are plants toxic to dogs around the house, so it is probably best to remain in the open areas.

Cleanliness

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

Hazards

We live near a nature preserve and wild animals are present occasionally. We have seen bears and coyotes in the early morning hours. Toxic plants are around the home.

    Our dogs loved this spot! as soon as we stepped out of the car they were welcomed by a sprinkler that my pups loved playing in, ran in circles on trees and posed on tree stumps. we will definitely be back again! would definitely recommend!

  • Sue M., Mar 9, 2023

    Not quite what I expected. Should not list as 'fully' fenced. The gate itself was an obvious 'gap' that most dogs could get right thru. Because of brush and such, most of the fencing could not be seen and I could not tell if it was secure or not. Ended up only walking my dogs on leash around the path. Believe there is some poison ivy also along the path. Host did communicate that part of the fence was down in back but I did not go back that far.

    Host replied: Hi Sue, We’re sorry that you did not have a positive experience. There are 37 photographs of the property, and it feels unfair to receive such a poor review because you did not take the time to review clear photos of the gate and fencing. We’ve also answered many questions related to fencing and the make-up of the property, and are discouraged that instead of communicating to us prior to your experience, you chose to negatively review us. None of our other 25+ guests, our dog, or dogs of family and friends, have ever had an issue escaping, given how far away the play area is from the front gate. Playing in any property’s front yard is never a good idea. It is also unfair to insinuate that other parts of the fence are insecure. We disclose where the fence is down. Of course, our property abuts 150 acres of wild Florida, which is very different from Ohio. Finally poison ivy is not very common in our area and we ask in the future that you try to familiarize yourself with local flora before bringing your dog to a property which clearly indicates there may be wild plants and overrun areas. It is common for snowbirds to mistake poison ivy with Virginia creeper, a Florida native vine. We’ve confirmed that this is the vine around our property with our arborist and know how to spot it. We provide detail to any guests of the type of vegetation on the property. We hope that responsible pet owners will continue to share our space.

    The spot was great and Tim was very friendly. My boys had a lot of fun.

  • Jessica M., Mar 4, 2023

    Great place with lots of room to run and explore! Will definitely be back soon.

  • Melissa H., Feb 28, 2023

    A beautiful property! The host set fresh water and toys out for us. My girl had a blast exploring in the woods and playing ball all over the property. I enjoyed the chairs in the fire pit area while she was off exploring.

  • Lauren C., Feb 20, 2023

    Great spot! My dogs loved exploring the area. We appreciated the water left out for them as well. We would certainly love to return!

  • Amanda C., Feb 18, 2023

    There’s been some updating since the last time we were here, more area cleared and a fire pit with some chairs. Tim was a great host as always!

  • Ian G., Feb 16, 2023

    Amazing space to explore and run! Next time we will definitely bring food for a picnic.

  • Scott R., Feb 4, 2023

    What a great property. My doggie had a blast and left tired, hungry and ready to dream about running there again.

  • Samantha V., Jan 31, 2023

    Love love love! Beautiful property, well maintained, and super easy to find. I had one very exhausted and extremely happy pup after our visit!

This spot is perfect for any dog but especially for reactive dogs that aren't able to run free or be around other dogs or people. When my dog Pepper was alive I couldn't take him to public parks without him having to be muzzled and tethered to a very short leash. Pepper was a mix of Chow, Siberian Husky, German Shephard and Wolf. Unfortunately he was not able to be socialized. But he enjoyed his backyard and now I'm offering Pepper's Backyard to other dogs like Pepper and for every dog to run free, play and be happy off leash.

If you don't have dog poop bags there will be some provided for you on the patio table.

Prior to your visit, you are required to inform Host thru the Sniffspot app of all humans and dogs you are bringing to PEPPER'S BACKYARD. Please be careful not to throw balls or frisbees over the neighbor's fence and do not take toys home with you. They are the property of Pepper's Backyard. An inventory of all toys is taken before and after each Guest visit. Missing, damaged or lost toys will be charged to you at $10 per item and you will be expected to pay for it before the end of your visit either by Cash, CashApp or Zelle. Please supervise your dog(s) and do not allow them to dig holes in our yard.

Do not urinate in the pool or in the yard. A Guest bathroom is located inside our home that you are welcome to use.

Lizzi's Fully Fenced Yard

Hello all! Welcome to my backyard. It's .33 of an acre, fully fenced in with a white vinyl privacy fence, and maintained weekly! You'll find two citrus trees in my yard, one mature and one young. You'll also find some chairs to sit in by our bird feeder, a hose to give your pup water if needed, and lots of space for running around or training. The yard slopes down to the back and is a mixture of green weeds and St Augustine grass with some sand patches spread throughout. We do get moles who make the yard a little lumpy sometimes, and mockingbirds who love to hang out in my citrus tree - but for the most part it's free of other animals! Four indoor cats may peer through the windows, but no domestic animals will be in the backyard. The most important things to note: - By the hose, there is a weatherproof bin that has poop bags, dog toys, and a water bowl. These are specifically for my Sniffspot guests so feel free to use them :-) - you're free to use the hose for fun or for doggie drinking water. This water does go through our water softener. Our green trashcan by the gate is where poop bags and other trash items can be placed. - there are security cameras all along the perimeter of the home. If you're uncomfortable with that, this may not be the yard for you. I promise it's not a stalking device, but something that has always been on my home to protect myself. - you are free to use the chairs located by the bird feeder. - my backyard gets a lot of sun. During 10 to 12 the only shade is in the back corner by the other gate. Feel free to move the green chairs around if needed. - in the winter, my yard might not be as lush green as in summer - but the grass will still be there! I hope you and your pup enjoy the yard!

Welcome to Muddy’s Private Dog Park & Lakefront - 0.5 Acre Fully Fenced

Welcome to Muddy's! This park is a 1/2 acre lakefront lot in a quiet neighborhood with a 6ft vinyl privacy fence. This property is completely separate from our home and is not a backyard, giving you and your pups a completely private experience! As guest's to other local SniffSpot locations, we loved how nice it was to have a private dog park experience and avoid the craziness of public dog parks! So we decided to create our own private dog park for our own 2 dogs, and would love to share it with your dogs as well! Whether your pups want to play fetch, run through the agility course, or go for a swim, they are sure to have an absolute blast enjoying the various amenities during their visit! While your pups play, you can enjoy the relaxing lakefront view while laying on the hammock or having some lunch at the picnic table. You may even see some various wildlife such as woodpecker's, otter's, ducks and more! Although this property is lakefront, we found that our guest's prefer the option in allowing their pups lake access or not. We installed a short silt fence around the shoreline that is easily bypassed if you wish to let your pups do so! This option will keep your pups from getting too filthy on those days that you don't feel like bathing them or cleaning your car! We cant wait to add even more amenities in the future. If you need anything at all, please feel free to contact us and we will do our best to accommodate! Thank you for visiting!
