55This was my first time using this app and Sarah was absolutely amazing! She was very accommodating and had everything set out for us when we got there. Kringle had such an amazing time! It was so nice seeing him run around freely!
55Her yard was amazing. She had so many things out for my dog to play with and use. I will be using again
55The loveliest spot. The fence is very sturdy and secure. The visual barrier is great for dog reactive dogs like mine. I was running late and didn't get to grab any tennis balls or water for my pups, but those things were provided and it was very helpful. Super nice yard and super thoughtful host. Would definitely return!
55Sarah is a great hostess! Atlas is a great host too! Spot was clean and secure. Sarah even had water and towels to clean muddy paws and toes.
55Easy access, great space, my dog had a great time!
55The girls had a wonderful time the pup learned she loves to be splashed and play in the water
55LOVE! The fence is a full 6’ privacy fence, yard is very clean, and the host is incredibly responsive and accommodating. There’s a ton of space for sniffing and sprinting around the yard. There were supplies and toys set out along with some snacks for us. The baby pool was also clean and full for us. Parking is very easy and the puppy portholes in the fence are absolutely adorable. Will definitely be coming back :)

Having three dogs of my own, all different breeds and temperaments, I understand the need of having your own space. A friend reccomended I set up my yard on Sniff Spot, to help other owners give their dogs peace of mind while playing. Hopefully you can enjoy our space for your safe and fun play session!
