About This Sniff Spot
Fencing:
Enclosure: Fully Fenced
Fence height (at lowest point): 6 ft or taller
Gaps or holes that a dog could get through: Yes
Others present:
Dogs: Our 55 lb wheaten terrier/poodle mix, Monkey, is our resident watchdog. She’s a rescue so shy of humans (particularly kids), but great with other dogs. She lives inside unless your dog wants company.
Update: We've been blocking her view from the backyard via a sheet over the door which is working really well and keeps barking to a minimum. (If you book same-day, the sheet will likely not be up so there will be barking... please keep this in mind!)
People: We’ll say hi if we’re home, but can hang out inside if your dog is reactive (although we’re happy to help you with some counter conditioning, too.) Sometimes our neighbors hang out in their yards, but are always separated through the fence. If your dog is extra sensitive, let me know and you can park in our driveway and close the fence behind you to prevent any unwanted encounters.
Domestic animals: There are some neighhood cats but Monkey generally keeps them away. :)
Private entry and exit: Yes, you will not likely encounter animals, dogs and/or people when entering or exiting the sniff spot
Description:
Let your pup run amok in our oversized West Seattle backyard. The space is mostly grass with some gravel and fully surrounded with a 6' privacy fence (update: all small holes have been blocked off, so it should be very secure!) Jeff is a tennis player so there is never a shortage of tennis balls, and we currently have one agility obstacle for jumping. We're planning to add more obstacles to the mix soon -- stay tuned!
Our dog is perfect for dog birthday parties, too. Just let me know if this is the case when you book.
Your dog can play alone or with our 55 lb wheaten terrier/poodle mix, Monkey (if we're home.)
Policies:
Access instructions: Street parking on 21st or the top of Juneau. There’s a walking gate to enter our house on the right side of the fence, and you can access the yard via the left side. To close the gate, simply push it really hard. :)
Hours of availability: Daylight hours!
Update: We're having work done on the basement from 6/13 - 6/15, so there will be people present. I'm not sure of the noise and activity level during this time, but if your dog is reactive it might be best to wait until construction is finished.
Is the host be present?: Would love to say hello if we’re home!
Rules: Scoop your poop and avoid the (very small) blueberry bushes on the right side of the yard. (We understand it's difficult to direct your dog when they're really excited, so just do your best.)

About the Host

Host Name: Lindzee M.
About the Host: We know how hard it is to have a dog without a yard -- in fact, that's why we made the jump from apartment living to owning a house. It's made our life *SO* much easier, so hopefully we can help some other folks out with that, too. |
