This spot is absolutely amazing, I wish I could give it a million stars! Very secure, clean, relaxing set up to sit if you want, toys/balls to throw for the pups, refreshments if you need - Valarie has it all! I was able to meet Valarie (prearranged, she didn’t drop in unexpectedly) - she’s amazing, my (usually reactive) girls loved her, and I highly recommend reaching out to her if you’re looking for other pup services like dog walking, day care or sitting. I can’t say enough good things about how amazing this experience was, you and your pups will love it!
We absolutely loved visiting Valarie’s! We have two anxious rescue dogs who love to run, sniff, and play but a dog park is too unpredictable and overwhelming. Valarie’s was perfect! Our dogs loved her toys, treats, and everything about the yard, especially a bit of bird watching! I loved how homey the yard felt! Comfy seating, shade, and a table! I’d love to bring the pups and use the wifi and get some work done!

Our puppy Kobe loved it !! She had toys and fresh water out for him❤️ he was exhausted after we left, we will definitely be back and recommend Valerie’s back yard to anyone. Yard is secured and safe.
Very clean and a lovely welcome chalk writing We will defiantly come again 😀
Dogs didn’t want to leave!
Valarie was so nice and accommodating! Safe enclosed backyard and very thoughtful with toys, a water bowl, human snacks, and access to the lanai to sit in the shade. Bubba had a great time and also got to play with her dog Gypsy which was wonderful socialization for him! We can’t wait to come back!
We had so much fun at this Sniffspot! Very clean and the music she put on was great! She had water and toys; and was so lovely to write us a little hello on the patio!
We had the best time! Valarie’s yard is the perfect spot and she was such a great host. There were toys, treats, a water bowl and even snacks for us. We would definitely come back
Valarie’s backyard isn’t huge, but plenty adequate to let my labradoodle run off some steam. She supplied all sorts of toys and water for the dogs, as well as treats. There were treats and water for people as well. The fence was secure and there was nothing the dogs could get in to..as hard as my dog tried. Also a little indoor patio to get out of sun. Thanks Valarie for sharing your yard!!
Host replied: Thank you for the review, Linda! I'm glad you and your dog enjoyed The Barkyard! Come visit us again soon :)
This was our second visit, equally enjoyable, this time I took picture!
Host replied: I love the pictures!! It looks like they had so much fun!
Hello Guests! My name is Valarie. I am a full-time mom as well as a dog walker and pet sitter. I understand how tough it can be having a reactive dog, so I love being able to provide a private safe place for your dog to roam free. I want to invite you all over to The Barkyard!
