I truly cannot speak highly enough of how accommodating and kind Alicia was during our visit. She left out toys, water, and extra chairs for us to use. This was the perfect spot for our pups and they had the best time! We will definitely be back :)

Easy to find and park at, lovely quiet space with some shade in the afternoon. Fenced in area that was safe for our dog to roam. We’ll definitely be back!

We love this location, it is so peaceful and the host is always so nice. It’s a great place for your dog to run around without many distractions. My dog is reactive and there are no distractions or triggers that could set him off, he loves it here.

First time using sniff spot and in definitely won’t be the last. Chance had so much fun sniffing everything in sight. The yard was beautifully kept and perfect for Chance to run around in.

Great area, easy parking. Fully fenced. I was able to let my 80 lb. Doberman pup run around without worry.

The yard was nice and open. Easy parking and easy to get in to the space. It felt weird to walk into a stranger’s back yard—not unsafe in any way, just odd to walk onto someone else’s property. It would be comforting if there was a sign on the gate. Also, some direction on which side of the house to go on to access the yard would have been helpful. Overall a nice space and experience.

This is the second time we have used this sniffspot and it is perfect! Our little dog loves it, it is very peaceful back there. This time we arrived a little bit late and Alicia poked her head out of the window to let us know that we were welcome to still stay a full hour if we wanted, which we appreciated. We will be back soon!

A great spot for an anxious dog to run around, play fetch, and explore by himself. The yard was spacious and fenced well enough for our shepherd. We’ll definitely be back!

Nice size yard, had some toys to play with. My dog was in heaven. Only feedback would be that there were loads of tree branches that she kept chewing on that I had to take away. I’m guessing this is just a seasonal issue since other photos and reviews don’t seem to mention tons of branches. Regardless, I would definitely go again my dog had a blast running around.

Nice and private spot! Our dogs were able to play in an open space, and I’d even come back for some outside recall training with my dog as there are very little distractions (outside of smells from other dogs :) )

This is a lovely neighborhood garden with plenty of room for playing and training without distractions. Easy to find and good parking. Suitable for dogs who are not high jumpers.

Great spot! Easy parking, easy to find, I’ve been twice in the last month with a new puppy and I’ll certainly be going again! I walked the perimeter, and didn’t see any issues with the fence, though when I go it’s usually for a playtime between two dogs and they are focused inside! Both trips I didn’t notice any waste or mess!

Excellent space, will book again. A huge thank you to the host, Alicia, for sharing her space! The fence is as tall as advertised and sturdy with no gaps. Two notes for future guests. First, there are several neighbors whose adjacent properties are not fenced. If your dog is sensitive to emotional or hyper children, ensure your pet is under control as most motivated dogs could likely hop the fence. Second, if your dog is prey motivated, I also recommend a quick perimeter check.

It was great! We have a 6 month old German Shorthaired Pointer with tons of energy! Great clean, yard to let him run! We kept him on our 20 ft long leash just in case but definitely felt comfortable there! No openings in the fence and no other dogs or people nearby!

The yard was great, my dog had a blast running around! Nice chairs for the humans to sit in as well. The mosquitos came out at dusk so don’t forget bug spray.
