Description

Welcome to our fully fenced, secure, and private one-acre doggy paradise, tucked away on a quiet cul-de-sac! Your pup will have plenty to sniff, explore, and enjoy with a large grassy yard, mulch areas, and wooded sections on both sides of the property. The wooded areas have been cleared underneath, creating fun paths for running, exploring, and leisurely walks. Relax while your dog plays, or join in the fun! There are multiple seating areas throughout the property, whether you prefer soaking up the sun or relaxing in the shade. Our large blue-stone patio provides a beautiful, shaded place to sit and backs right up to the woods. 🏊 Pool Update: The large in-ground pool is now closed for the season and has a mesh safety cover installed. Please note that the fencing separating the yard from the pool is not 100% secure, so we ask that you keep an eye on your pups while they are enjoying the yard. For your convenience, we provide: * 💩 Poop bags * 💧 A bowl of fresh water * 🧸 A basket of toys for your pup to enjoy Your privacy is important to us! All people and pets will be inside the house during your visit, giving you and your dog the entire outdoor space to yourselves. There is easy access from both the driveway and street parking, making arrival and departure simple. Whether your dog wants to run, sniff, explore, play, or simply relax in the shade, there’s something here for every pup. We hope you and your four-legged friend enjoy your private slice of doggy heaven! 🐶❤️

We’re lifelong dog lovers and currently have 3 pups of our own—each one a rescue or a foster fail. Because we understand how important it is for dogs to have a safe, private place to run, we decided to open our property for others to enjoy. The perimeter fencing was originally installed to keep our own dogs secure, and it truly creates a peaceful, protected environment. Since our dogs aren’t outside all the time, it felt natural to share the space with fellow pup parents who want the same sense of freedom and safety for their furry family members. It has been such a joy welcoming guests and hearing how many special memories their dogs have made while visiting our Sniffspot. We’re grateful to share this little haven with you and your pups.

My pets will be indoors at the time of your booking. Thank you! :) Here on SniffSpot I provide a safe, loving, and structured environment where your pets can feel comfortable, socialized (if you wish) and cared for. I’m a proud dog mom of five Cockapoos and a cat mom of one, with hands-on experience raising puppies from birth (including assisting with a litter), as well as caring for senior pets. My home is an LGBTQ+ friendly space, and I’m also a Fairfield University graduate. At my home, your pets will enjoy plenty of space to run, play, and relax in a calm neighborhood that’s great for walks. My goal is to create an stress-free, fun, and safe experience for you and your pet(s). It would be much appreciated if you could book ahead of time so that we can ensure the space is clean and ready for your visit as we like to clean water bowls and fill with fresh filtered water before each visit and do a quick walk through. This will also allow us to locate our cat if he is outdoors and bring him in, as well as our resident dogs. Thank you!
