Great communication, nice location with lots to explore. The dogs enjoyed their time and tuckered themselves out before the hour ended. We appreciate the water and bowl left out as well as the towels though we didn't end up using them it was still a thoughtful touch.

Our dogs loved running around in the wooded area! We also really appreciated use of the hose and towels for cleanup.

This was a wonderful place for our two dogs to romp around. There’s a large yard great for playing catch, and there is a gate which leads to an amazing wooded area with several trails winding about. They enjoy their selves fully. There’s fresh water available. I would highly recommend for a wonderful off leash experience.

First time here with our dog and our dogs best friend. Brought my 9 month old daughter and sat in the shade with her while the dogs ran and played in the water/mud! Great spot and will be back again for sure! As you can see from the photo they are pooped!

This was my first ever time using this app. The place in Oxford Mills was everything I hoped it would be, my pup had the best time in a well laid out and safe area! Am going back soon and will go many times after that. Highly recommend Sniffspot to anyone who has a dog that loves to run but either doesn’t have 100% recall or like me, just doesn’t have that kind of space. Thank you Valeria for Hosting!

First time there and the dogs had a blast! Muddy dogs are the happiest dogs. The host was very responsive and answered all questions promptly. The chickens and pekin ducks are visible so if your dog has high prey drive, keep that in mind. I asked the host to put the chickens in a coop because I wasn’t sure how my dog would react and I felt that the fence and the coop was secure enough to give me peace of mind. He enjoyed looking at them but also wanted to eat them, haha.

My three pups had a blast. The area was fully fenced off so we didn’t have any worries. We went on a sunny spring day when the snow was melting so the pups got dirty with mud but Valerie left us some towels. She was most thoughtful. Will visit again.

What a great spot! Our guy loved having both woods and open spaces to run and explore through. Grateful to Valeria for the sawdust in the wet areas and for having water and towels available.

What a great spot! Nash loved exploring the trails in the backyard and checking out the ducks and chickens. It was a bit muddy - to be expected for this time of year, and the host put boards and saw dust down to help, and had a bucket of towels to wipe down before going home which was a very nice touch. We will certainly be back!

Very friendly owners, it is a nice place for our dog to run. We had a great time and I was able to buy some fresh eggs to top off a nice first visit.

My puppy had the best time running through the trails here! Pretty sure he'll sleep like a rock tonight. Trails and yard are a bit wet with the spring thaw (to be expected!), but the host has spread sawdust in places to absorb some of the wet. Towels to dry off my pup were provided, which was really appreciated, as well as drinking water. It was puppy's first time seeing chickens and ducks, so a little extra socialization for the win. 🙂

Such a sheltered spot among all the trees. I little wet, which is to be expected with the spring melt this time of year, but they had sawdust down and little wood bridges which were great! And of course our pup loved it. Plenty of space to run and explore.

A really great spot! The trail in the woods utilizes the space really well with multiple short trails. It was a little muddy but that was due to the mild temperature and time of year. Recommended!

We went straight to the section with the trails and my Emmy had such a great time! It is not a huge area of trails but big enough that there are several and you can't see from one end to the other. Fantastic property! We could hear some dogs in the distance but nothing close. Valeria was very responsive to my questions, so thank you, Valeria!
