Description

Hi! I'm Alyssa, I'm a rescue dog owner in Southside with a ~1/3 acre yard perfect for your dog to enjoy! There's a mix of gardens, grass, mulch, and leaf areas great for sniffing and a bin full of fun toys and treats! We use dog/pollinator-safe mosquito/flea/tick treatments on the grass every 5 weeks. Check out discounted memberships if you'd like to come a few times a month! Reactive dog owners should note that my neighbors have dogs that may or may not be outside during your visit.

Cleanliness

97% of guests said this spot was as clean as expected during their visit.

Hazards

One small hydrangea plant near the back of the house, please don't let dogs chew. The rest of the plants in the yard are not toxic to dogs but still don't let them chew on the foliage.

Extras

Bath time$5.0

I'll provide 2 fresh towels, Burts Bees shampoo, Furminator de-shed conditioner (it works so well!), and a sanitized brush so your pup can leave fresh and clean! Please check the weather to make sure it's warm enough. The hose water is cold.

Corn Hole$2.0

Play a round of corn hole while the pups roam and sniff! Just make sure your pups don't chew the bags.

Kiddie pool + sprinklers$3.0

I'll put the kiddie pool out and set up the sprinkler for a fun water play day! The pool requires a lot of water to fill and I dump and clean it between visitors. This extra is free for members who message me ahead of time to set up.

Meet your host

Hi, I'm Alyssa. I moved to Southside in September 2021 and adopted my dog Xena (The Warrior Princess) a month later! I work from home as a graphic designer for a non-profit so I'm excited to offer up my yard during the day. I also have a cat, Smalls (from the Sandlot) who might spy on you from a window. We're excited to welcome you to the Southside SniffSpot!
