Create your spot

We have hosts that are earning $3,000 or more per month with their unused yards or land. We provide a lot of guidance and feedback to our hosts to help you increase your earnings.

Sniffspot pays via direct deposit once per month.

Almost any kind of land or yard is good for Sniffspot. The most popular spots tend to be larger. Being a fully fenced and private spot also increases your earning potential, because guests enjoy using Sniffspot for off leash exercise. Unfenced yards less than half an acre tend to not work well for Sniffspot, unless they have some special feature for people like water access.

Dogs have the cognitive ability of a toddler, but they can run 20 miles per hour. This makes managing dogs in public areas a full time job and public spaces are not good for dog off leash exercise. It's much more fun for dogs and their owners to have a private space, like an unused yard, where they can enjoy each other and off leash exercise without distractions.

Every municipality has different land use laws, but we have never come across a law that forbids Sniffspot. As with all businesses, there may be local requirements about business licenses.

We have designed Sniffspot to be very safe. We provide $1M Host Protection Insurance and damage protection. We require guest dogs to be vaccinated and on flea/parasite preventative. We also require guests to clean up after their dogs.

Sniffspot is about safe spaces for dogs. Sniffspot only allows one booking at a time and is a private spot for exercise, whereas anyone can visit public dog parks at any time. Sniffspot locations have control over their calendar and can block any time, whereas public dog parks are always open. Additional differences include that Sniffspot requires all dog owners to register and certify vaccine status, Sniffspot requires guests to pay a price for the visit experience vs offering free visits, Sniffspot provides $1M of liability insurance to our hosts and a Sniffspot can be anything from open land to a backyard or front yard.
