55Yard was very clean, my 3 dogs made friends with the neighbors dog. Fence was secure. Fresh water and toys provided
45Clean and nice park. We brought our recently rescued Greyhound. At first he was more interested by the dog barking inside the house than playing in the yard But then the neighbor's big dog got out and they ran and played from eich side of the fence.
55Another fun day at this spot The yard is always so clean. My dog just loves going here. We take him once a week.
55Fun safe backyard! My dogs loved it!! Water bowl and poop bags provided. Perfect for them to get their energy out.
55Another day at this lovely yard. My dog loves it there. It's quiet and so clean!
55My very large 10 month old Irish Wolfhound mix loved it. We dont have a fenced in yard and I dont like dog parks. This was one of the few times hes been off leash. He ran and smelled, and now he's sleeping. Yard is very clean and well kept. We will be back for sure!
55Very nice fenced in yard for the dogs to roam and play. My two had a great time at this “Sniff” spot. Lots of shade, nice big bowl of water, seating, all as described.
55Ample space for a dog/dogs to run around and play in a beautiful secure spot.
55This Sniffspot Spot ticks all the boxes on my list. It’s fenced in and very secure. It’s big enough for 2 dogs to run around but not too big to lose sight of them. It’s very pretty and peaceful with both sunny and shaded areas and my dog loves it.
55Macy always has fun roaming the yard and sniffing.
