55This is a gorgeous spot. The dogs had a great time exploring all the plants and trees around the yard. The hill is somewhat steep but we had no problem - my three legged dog actually had a lot of fun running up and down! We did have a brief interaction with a small dog through the chain fence in the top left (visible but not reachable). Mine are reactive so they got pretty excited and barked but we used it as a training moment and it was only present for a few minutes. Overall a fantastic experience. This might be the most fun my girls have had at a spot with all the smells interesting places to explore!
55Lovely!
55This was my first time using SniffSpot and it was a great experience. The backyard was full of plants and pathways for my pup to explore. He was exhausted afterwards!
55What a gorgeous yard!! I wanted to hang out here all afternoon! There are so many places for the dogs to explore, and enough space for mine to run. It's not the yard for major Chuck-It action, but the small grassy area at the top was plenty big enough for some flirt pole time, and my puppy got *major* zoomies and galloped around the little path laid out from the grassy area down the hill and back around several times. It was very peaceful - we could hear people but not see them, and there was a dog that came to a corner adjacent (but not reachable through this fence) for a few minutes but that was it. Parking and access were exactly as described, the signage was great, and overall this is a FANTASTIC spot! Highly recommended.
55My boys had a great time here. So many areas to explore. It’s a beautiful yard with lots of shade, so it must be wonderful in the summer. There was a small dog who briefly barked at my boys through the chain link fence in the upper left corner of the yard and we could hear humans on the other side of the fence to the south for a minute or two. This didn’t bother me or my dogs, but something to consider with a more reactive dog. The only thing that would keep me from visiting this spot again is the steps on the hill. They are steep and a little large for stubby legs, and seeing my Frenchies (a breed highly prone to herniated discs) run down them fast multiple times made me very nervous. This is an “it’s not you, it’s me” issue, as the photos showing the steepness of the yard are pretty accurate. Julia is a friendly and very responsive host who was lovely to chat with through the app.
55Such a cute spot! Our dogs had a great time running up and down the steps and jumping in the leaves. It really is a little urban oasis!
55Great space! Wifi is awesome and loads of room for your dogs to run around!
55Fun spot for Ash to explore the backyard and woods

Description

*currently only welcoming pups who prefer sniffs & relaxing — we recently reinstalled landscaping & irrigation and the hillside needs some time to settle* We restored this shady hillside with native plants and it’s an ideal spot for pups with a zen/chill vibe who just can’t be around other dogs — such a challenge in Seattle! Our late pup used to enjoy climbing the steps to check out the goings-on, sniffing the squirrel spots, and catching some sunbeams on the ground-level deck. It’s especially great for reactive pups (ours was!) because the foliage hides much of the neighborhood and traffic commotion. Guest wifi details available at the gate. It’s a great spot for zoom calls - no background filter needed. Street parking is abundant - directly across from us (pictured) or slightly north, if you’d rather not cross the street. Please avoid parking in the driveway.

Seattle transplant, with part of my heart still in Chicago. Our rescued pit mix crossed the rainbow bridge in 2021, but our backyard is still set up perfectly for reactive pups or those who do better with some space and predictability!
