55Great private area fully fenced and large enough to use a ball thrower! Fun agility equipment!
55We had a great time! Our dog Hazel ran the whole perimeter and sniffed every blade of grass I'm pretty sure! Haha there was so much room for her to run and plenty of places for us humans to sit and enjoy the view :) will definitely be back!
55We came back and just have to say we absolutely love this clean, thoughtful property. The pups loved it!! Thank you for sharing such a wonderful space with us!
55The most amazing place. Close to home and my dogs dont get anxious in the car knowing we are going there.
55We always love visiting!
55This spot was perfect for a quick stop to let our two boys stretch their legs on our road trip from FL back to MI! Very beautiful. Tons of room, very well kept and plenty of toys, poop bags, water, treats and even swings/chairs provided for humans to relax too! Fence is very secure and plenty of privacy (private entrance too!). We love road tripping so will save this spot if we ever come back through, thanks again for providing such a beautiful and safe space for our pets!🥰🤍🐾
45We love this spot. The ant hills are getting bigger and there are more of them. They are mostly on one end so my dog ignored them for the most part, but I tried not to let him hang out on that side for too long. We will be back as everything else is perfect.
25We’ve visited this Sniffspot in the past and always really enjoyed it, which is why we chose to come back today. Unfortunately, we were really disappointed with how much the property seems to have declined since our last visit. The area was very overgrown and unkempt, with what seemed like dozens of ant mounds throughout the space, mushrooms growing in the yard, and broken items/equipment that we felt could potentially be a safety hazard for the dogs. Overall, it just didn’t feel nearly as clean, maintained, or safe as it has during our previous visits. We were especially disappointed because this used to be one of our favorite Sniffspots, but after today’s experience, we unfortunately won’t be returning.
55It’s very spacious and exceptionally clean. And the host is super friendly and responsive. We had a great time here and we will come again.
55Large open space to run. Very little shade if it’s hot outside. Host did provide water! Our pups had a great time.

Hi, I’m Wendy — a dog mom and the heart behind Branches & Barks. I created this private, peaceful acre so dogs and their humans can enjoy a wide open space to relax and play. Dogs can run, sniff, and be fully themselves, while their humans can unwind, watch, and simply enjoy the moment. I believe every dog deserves a moment of freedom and joy, and Branches & Barks was created to make that possible. All dogs are welcome — reactive, shy, or full of energy.

The yard is surrounded by mature landscaping and trees, with a mix of sunny and shaded areas throughout the day and beautiful views of the sky and sunset. Guests are welcome to use the outdoor seating, and complimentary cold bottled water is available in the outdoor refrigerator. Your reservation is private.

Please bare with me as I add more amenities and other additions to the area. Just a short drive away from downtown Mooresville, here is a dedicated fenced in spot of land to let your dog or dogs come get some energy out. Throughout the day, the trees around the area do provide some shade within the fence. Your pups are free to dig, I just ask that the holes created be filled back in before you leave. There is a dedicated parking area right in front of the access gate, after you turn into the gravel driveway (marked by red reflectors).
