    Karen’s private dog park is very nice. Sadie and Jack were running and playing, very excited about all the new smells. It was enjoyable to see them exploring while my husband and I relaxed and visited. The yard was well maintained and there was water, toys and a towel for the dogs. Would definitely recommend. We plan on returning.

    Host replied: So glad you had a great visit. Look forward to hosting your again soon. Anything we can do to make your visit more enjoyable please don’t hesitate to ask. 🐶🐶

  • Emily H., Mar 15, 2023

    Our two dogs had a great time visiting and running around the yard! Everything was set nicely and we had everything we could have needed. We definitely plan on coming back!

    Host replied: Thanks so much !!

  • Christine S., Mar 5, 2023

    We had a wonderful time at Karen’s sniff spot! My dogs thoroughly enjoyed exploring her large yard with lots of places to enjoy. It was so nice to be greeted with their names on the fence sign. How cute! A lot of places for us to sit. Plenty of shade and the bottled water left out for us was really nice and thoughtful. Thank you! I’m so happy to have found this one close to home. My dogs had a great time. Awesome yard.

    Host replied: So glad your little ones enjoyed our space. We Look forward to your visits anytime ☀️

  • Elaine W., Feb 28, 2023

    We had a terrific visit. The yard was spacious and open for our dog to run and walk and sniff. There were several seating areas and even water for the dog and us! Will come often.

    Host replied: Thank you ! Look forward to your visits

  • Elena W., Feb 24, 2023

    Wonderful area! Will be visiting again. Everything was ready when we arrived & lots of water options for pups. The trees were beautifuullllll- would be great in summer for some shade im sure!

    Host replied: Thank you ! Spring has definitely sprung. It pops with color We do offer the umbrella at the main table on the deck for shade offerings also.

  • Elaine W., Feb 7, 2023

    Great yard for sniffing, running and just moseying around. Perfect for humans, with ample seating spots in the yard. Orion got his exercise and we just chilled.

    Host replied: So glad you and Orion enjoyed yourself today. We look forward to y’all being a regular with us.

  • Carolyn K., Jan 15, 2023

    Great location just off 485. Perfect for us when we have to take the fur-babies to work. Annie loved the tether ball.

    Host replied: Thank you for visiting with us today and we love that your Danes we’re able to explore. Look forward to y’all visiting anytime. 🐶🐶

Every spot is very unique which is the fun part of Sniffspot. We want visitors to have clear expectations before their first visit; this is why we provide so much detail in the description. Please feel free to reach out with any additional questions, so we can ensure you have the best visit possible. Parking: Please park in the gravel driveway, not the concrete driveway. Do not park in the grass as it becomes damaged over time. If you arrive early, feel free to hang out on the swing next to the gravel driveway. Chain Link Gate Entrance: Walk down the gravel driveway to access the chain link gate entrance. Next to the man gate, there are water canteens, water bowl, dog toys, dog towels, bug spray, white bucket for trash, and dog treats majority of the time. We do our best to keep the water canteens at the entrance full with water. The only water hose to refill water canteens or rinse your dog off is at the house. There is a water hose on a reel at the front and back of the house. At the entrance, we have a solar light which only lights up the entrance. If you are comfortable being on the property past sunset, head lamps and flashlights can be provided. We will leave the outside house lights on which provides light in the back yard but not the whole property. Also, if you turn your car headlights on, the lights point directly at the field providing some light. Nature: 3 sides of the property run parallel to a creek and woods, so you might see critters (i.e. turtles, snakes, deer, raccoons, birds, crawdads, ants, etc.). Closed toe shoes are a good idea to wear. In the wooded section, there are wood chips, so they easily get caught in flip flops. Open Field: There is a large open field when you first walk through the man gate. In the field, there is a metal glider, two metal chairs, two swing chairs, and table. There is a dome climber play center for kids and a trampoline. Dogs and kids are welcome to jump on the trampoline. (Note: The trampoline has a safety net; the zipper is broken on the net.) The open field holds water after a good rain. We put straw down to help prevent mud. Woods: Towards the back of the property behind the house, there is 2.3 acres of open space with plenty of shade from the mature trees with two hammocks and a fire pit. If the field is wet, we suggest hanging out behind the house in the woods. The ground is always more dry. House: Our house is located on the property within the fenced in area. During visits, we always stay indoors with our dogs with the blinds closed to give guests their privacy. If we happen to arrive from work or errands during a visit, we park at the end of the driveway and walk through the driveway gate straight to the house. We try to message our guests ahead of time if we might arrive during visiting hours. If your dog is reactive to strangers, we certainly appreciate a message stating that, so we can plan better. Creek/Kiddie Pool: To the right of the large open field, there is another man gate that provides access to a creek. The creek is not fenced in but is on our property. The creek has a small sandy beach for digging, two lounging chairs, and a small table. Our dogs swim in the creek almost every day. We keep a long orange leash at the creek gate in case your dog wants to enjoy the creek but has selective listening skills. The leash is long enough for the dog to get in the creek while the owner stands on the bank. (Note: The previous owners buried their trash for years on the creek bed. We are in the process of cleaning it up. The section that has trash is barricaded off with black netting, so dogs can't access the area with glass, metal, etc.) We understand some people don't want their dogs swimming in the creek. We have a kiddie pool, 30 gal black plastic stock tank, and splash pad available during warmer months. The water hose is on a hose reel at the back of the house. Feel free to fill it up with water for your dogs to cool off. Neighbors: We have neighbors that have indoor dogs. Our fences do not touch at all. However, when their dogs are outside in their fenced in back yard, they can see visitors at the main entrance. The neighbor's dogs will bark out of excitement when they see visitors. If you walk back further on the property, they can't see you and won't bark. If your dogs are reactive to the sight or sound of other dogs, this spot might not be the best fit for your dogs. Lastly, we have a neighbor across the creek and through the woods with a rooster. The rooster can't be seen but can be heard at times.
