Sniffspot is Airbnb for dog parks! We enable anyone to rent land by-the-hour as a safe and private dog park. Dogs evolved and were bred in a world where they could run free in fields and forests. Modern society doesnt carve spaces out for our canine companions and, as a result, dogs in the modern world are having all kinds of problems, like obesity, reactivity, and anxiety. We are coming together to provide safe spaces that allow dogs to let their instincts rise back to the top, to go wild and free, and to just be dogs again. Healing is a beautiful thing to witness. Sniffspot is a marketplace where guests (dog parents) rent spots (land) from hosts (landowners) by the hour.
