Step into a spacious, playful retreat designed for pups of all personalities. Our 2-acre playground is perfect for sniffing, running, zoomies, and joyful exploration. •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• ‼️Updates as of Nov. 2025. •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• 🐾 Smaller but just as fun! Our SniffSpot is now 2 acres instead of 3, as we’ve set aside space for some new community projects we’re really excited about. There’s still plenty of open room for zoomies, fetch, and off-leash fun! 🌲 Privacy updates for reactive pups We’ve planted 20 beautiful Green Giant trees (5 feet tall) to create future privacy. While they grow, your pup might still see people coming and going — but we’re working to make it cozier and calmer every season. 💧 Hydration & Essentials Everything You Need for a Paw-fect Visit: Fresh water, poop bags, and toys are provided so your furry friends can focus on fun, not fuss. *** Once you book, you and your dog(s) will be the only ones there during your time. The “spot” becomes unavailable for everyone when you reserve it. Only one person “rents” the space at a time! Sniffspot automatically builds in a 30 min buffer between sessions as well so there is no chance of overlap. ***

Street parking is available at all times. You may park in the driveway, but please ask first in case one of us is going to have to leave (or coming back) while you are there.
