About Sniffspot

Sniffspot is a community marketplace that enables anyone to rent land by-the-hour as a safe and private dog park. Founded in 2016 when founder David Adams adopted his first dog, Soba, who had leash reactivity issues, the platform was born from the need to find safe, private spaces for dogs to exercise off-leash. David's wife Rebecca, who was traveling for work with her dog-selective dog Toshii, wished for "an app to find places to let him off leash," which sparked the creation of Sniffspot. The platform operates in all 50 US states and internationally, connecting dog owners with private property owners who rent out their yards, fields, and land for private dog exercise sessions. With over 32,000+ private spots available, Sniffspot offers a variety of spaces including fully fenced yards, hiking trails, water parks, agility courses, and beach access. The service addresses the limitations of public dog parks by providing private, safe environments where dogs can run free without distractions, other dogs, or safety concerns. Sniffspot operates on a membership model where guests purchase credits to book spots by the hour, with most visits costing 10-20 credits per hour. Hosts can earn up to $3,000 per month by sharing their unused land. The platform emphasizes trust and safety through vaccination requirements, $1M Host Protection Insurance, damage protection up to $5,000, verified reviews, and a secure payment system. David and Rebecca married in 2019 and continue to run the company with their dogs Soba and Toshii, remaining dedicated to creating a more dog-friendly world one spot at a time.
