55Winnie and I were happy to return to Caren’s backyard where Winnie sniffed and ran to her heart’s content! Caren provided fresh water and a comfortable patio and plenty of toys. Parking was easy and so was the communication. Next time we want to return with a dog friend!
55Caren was a terrific host - she left a hose and a pool for my pup which was perfect on this toasty day!
55Perfect backyard for a game of fetch!
55I felt my a bit skittish dog was safe in the backyard. Fresh water readily available, lots of toy and ball options. There was shade and sun.
55My Beagle walked around sniffing for the entire visit. Yard was vey clean and attractive
55Our two pups and their friend had a great time playing chase and racing around the yard. The space was clean with thoughtful touches like available water, lots of toys, and comfortable chairs for the humans. We had a great time!
55Our dog had a blast! The fencing was very safe, there were lots of balls for him to chase and the host left water out for him. We will definitely be back.
55Great spot!
55Fantastic backyard with plenty of toys and easy parking.
55Wonderful yard with lots of toys!

Suburban area, large grassy yard fully fenced with furnished patio, baby pool and dog toys available in the yard. Water w/lead-free drinking safe hose and electric access is available.

Cleanliness

Hazards

cautions: there are two window wells on the left side of the house and crawl space used as a storage area under the back porch (crawl space is large enough for a human to fit - about 4' off the ground). There is also an unlocked/sometimes open shed w/lawn mower and other tools in the back yard. Please note for sound sensitive pups: it seems one of my neighbors may have put in a pool, on some wkends there can be quite a bit of noise from the kids playing in it.

Additional rules

Apologies, we have temporarily limited our Sniffspot slots as we tend to the needs of our ailing dog. Two out of three dogs are battling significant illnesses and it can be challenging to manage yard use. We hope to fully open again soon once things have stabilized. Thanks for your support! ------------------------------------- ** Please note this Sniffspot is primarily for dog owner use, it is not for entrepreneurs who are conducting dog-related business such as catering canine parties or social events and/or charging dog owners fees for dog walking services. While I applaud such entrepreneurs I request they take their business elsewhere. Sorry for any inconvenience but thank your for respecting my wishes ** ------------------------------------- All visiting dogs must be fully vaccinated and free of parasites. Please discourage digging when playing and bring bags to pick up after your dog when they go potty. There is a trash can available for quick disposal. Do not leave dog(s) unsupervised. Please feel free to play with the toys in the yard and relax on the patio furniture. Dogs are allowed on the furniture. Please do not remove any items from the yard. Resident dogs will be kept indoors unless other arrangements have been made in advance for a play date. We hope you enjoy the yard as much as we do! Guests can let themselves in the gate. Please note for sound sensitive pups: it seems one of my neighbors may have put in a pool, on some wkends there can be quite a bit of noise from the kids playing in it. Also for same-day/short notice reservations can be challenging if I'm on the road or otherwise indisposed, I may not see your reservation promptly, therefore I may request a few hrs notification at certain times or have time blocked if I can't respond promptly. However you can message me to see if I'm available on short notice and if so, I'll go ahead and change the notice requirement so you can book it.
