The secret garden of Lexington-- I love bringing my dog to this beautiful spot anytime we are in the city! Plenty of shade, spring blossoms, and my dog loves chasing all the birds. It's so nice to be able to relax and my dog is happy to spend the full hour exploring. We love Bowie dog park!

My pup got immediate zoomies when we came in after a kind hello from neighbor dog. Very secure and spaciousand toys to keep her occupied. With an overly excited dog the calm space had her happy and exhausted

Yard was nice and clean, my dogs had a blast. The neighbor dog was out in its yard, barked a little and then went and laid down and left us alone.

Beautiful backyard for our dogs to explore and romp in. We appreciated the many places to sit, the treats and the toys. Also loved the friendly neighbor dog. Thanks Karrie!

We absolutely loved this space! Plenty of yard to run around in and although there are dogs in sight they really only bark a few times to let you know they’re around and then let you continue with your business. Only thing to consider is if you have a small dog, some parts of the fence could be crawled under, just something to watch out for but still loved everything about it!

My first time using Sniffspot, and this place was perfect. Large yard, with lots of hiding places and things to sniff. My doggie was so happy! They also had a basket with treats and toys, which was a nice touch. We will definitely be back!

This yard is very well kept in a quiet neighborhood. It was perfect for our two crazy dogs. One of them isn't friendly to cats or small dogs, so he doesn't get walks around our neighborhood. Both of them are escape artists, so we used lunge lines. If your dogs are prone to sailing over fences like ours, you might want to do that, although the fence is solid all the way around. The hosts were very accommodating before and after, checking in with us to see how things went. I definitely recommend!

Gunner had so much fun! He loved the space to run and especially the long stretch of grass where we can throw his ball back and forth!

Beautiful big backyard. Our dogs had a great time. Hosts left out toys and treats which was very thoughtful. Neighbor dog did come out to see what was going on. He quietly watched and didn’t rush the fence or bark. There was one area in the fence where our small terriers could have fit through near the telephone pole. But other than that, the fence was secure.

This was our first sniff spot experience and it was great! The yard is clean and secure and Niko and Ellie had a great time! The neighbors dog was out but he didn’t approach the fence and was very friendly.

Kali loved her first sniff spot! There is a large dog next door who barks, but is super friendly. Kali was unbothered :) Would definitely recommend.

This was our first trip using SniffSpot so I wasn’t sure what to expect. It felt a little weird just walking into someone’s yard, but I got over that quickly. The yard is nice and felt very welcoming. Lots of places to sit and enjoy the view. It was the perfect size for Willow to run some energy out. We will definitely be back!

My dog loves coming here. I can launch a chuck-it arm/ball at full distance for her to run after. The addition of the spotlights is great as well, makes seeing after dark (which comes early) a lot easier. Always a wonderful host with a gift basket of seasonal treats, toys, and glove warmers for us. Lots to explore, my dog loves running and chasing birds at this cozy spot!

Great spot! It does mention the neighbors dog may come out but we did not see it. The fence is see through so if you have reactive dogs as I do, just know this. There are plenty of spots for dogs to explore (trees, bushes, etc).

The neighbors dog did greet my doggy but he was super friendly! Saint had a great time running around and playing. It was more than enough room for running and some training!

Ramsey had a blast playing in this yard. It was very very clean and a great spot for dogs to sniff and wonder around. Duke, the dog across the fence was very friendly. Will be back!

Great spot with a big yard for sprints and bushes to explore. Appreciated the bug spray and treats the owners left out! Friendly dog in the yard next door.

This space is awesome! We were greeted at the gate with a basket that contained a nice note from the owners, balls, treats, bottles of water and poop bags. The yard is beautiful and perfectly laid out with a large open field as well as lots of shade so it’s the best of both worlds. The two lovely patios have large and comfortable seating. There is a super sweet big dog in the yard Nextdoor named Duke. We loved him!
We highly recommend this place and will be back soon!
