Description

🏠🏠🐶🐾💜 Welcome to 105 Cato — a peaceful private property designed for dogs (and humans) who love space to explore, sniff, decompress, and roam. The property features a winding loop driveway system, large open grassy areas, wooded borders, mature trees, and multiple quiet pockets to wander at your own pace. Whether your dog wants to sprint, sniff every inch of the lawn, relax in the shade, or explore new scents along the wooded edges, there’s room to do it here. Guests can enjoy: • A scenic pond area with deck access • Open grassy spaces for running and play • Quiet walking loops throughout the property • Wooded surroundings and natural scent enrichment • Multiple entrance/access points for convenience • A peaceful, private setting away from crowded public dog parks This spot is especially great for: • Reactive dogs needing private off-leash time • High-energy dogs who need room to move • Dogs who enjoy sniffing and exploring nature • Owners looking for a calm, relaxing environment The property has a cozy estate-like feel with mature landscaping, tree-lined driveways, and lots of space to slow down and enjoy being outside together. Please respect the property, stay within designated guest areas, and help keep the space beautiful for future visitors. We’re excited to share this special spot with fellow dog lovers. Meet & Greet with resident goofball golden Turbo available upon request. NOTE: Reservations available sunset to sundown only, due to limited lighting and coyote hazards at night. SEASONAL NOTE: This spot will not be available during the winter due to ice hazards and limited snow removal.

Hi! I’m Briana — lifelong dog lover, creative thinker, and the caretaker of this special little slice of property at Cato Corner. I created this Sniffspot to give dogs (and their humans) a peaceful, fun, low-pressure place to explore, sniff, swim, play, and just be dogs. My goal is simple: make guests feel welcome, comfortable, and excited to come back. 💜
