Makes checking, and booking spots a breeze. Great app.
Being able to secure spots with a pool during the summers months in Vegas is *chef’s kiss* Wish I would have found this app sooner! Highly recommend.
I am so disappointed with Sniffspot. The app used to be free and I was able to find safe sniffspots for my reactive dog. Now you can only book IF you have a subscription. This is utterly ridiculous. Thanks for taking that safety net away, Sniffspot. It shows this company does not actually care about dogs but about the money it makes.

I cannot be more grateful for Sniffspot. I’ve got a reactive dog that needs to stimulated and running around in these amazing shared spaces is the best thing I could’ve found for her.
Our dog loves to swim. This location was amazing, the host was amazing, and our dog very much enjoyed himself!
Longtime Sniffspot user, but infrequent user. We went to spots maybe a handful of times a year with friends. They recently switched to a membership model so now it’s $20 a month just to look at available times for spots. If you buy it and don’t go, you lose your money. If you go too much, you need to buy more credits. I guess they weren’t making enough money with pay as you go. Edit: Saying we can jump through hoops to do it the old way isn’t better! Why do that at all, and why force new people to do it the new way. Why not make memberships optional? I’d be open to them off they weren’t forced

The new payment structure, requiring upfront monthly membership payment and then charging based on “points”, is a deterrent. I want to see the dollar value of each rental, not some random points number. I was planning on renting a Sniff Spot for tomorrow but have decided against it due to the payment structure. I doubt I will use the app again, if this is required.

Used to use this app a lot with my dog a year or two ago, even had my 18th birthday at a sniff spot. Because of the subscription i’m no longer going to use because the pricing is outrageous. I used to be able to pay 5-10 dollars an hour for a sniff spot now i had to pay 16 dollars for MAYBE 1-3 visits a month ?? and that’s the cheapest option??? Used to be a really nice idea and now it’s just become another subscription based app.

They have been charging me $120 for the last two weeks with out my approval! No way this app is worth that much money
Love this app

I am very glad I was introduced to sniff spot! We have found a couple great locations that we enjoy with our dogs in complete peace and relaxation!
this app allows more people to own and support reactive dogs - who need the exercise and space to learn that the world is safe (my baby is anxious and it shows up as reactivity)
I’m giving a one star because I can’t give no stars. You already have to pay to get credits yet you have to have a monthly membership. This is a total rip off and scam. Get rid of your membership and I will change my review.
Loved it until they forced you to subscribe.
I can’t even load the app anymore. When I try to log in, I get an error message. Totally unusable.
After my 7 day trial I was excited to continue trying this month to month for a while. There’s only ONE spot in my area. I was not aware that I was going to be charged annually. I needed monthly. Now I’m broke because they put the “annual” in tiny letters. Predatory behavior as a business. I was just trying to help my dog. And yes, blame me alllllll you want for not seeing the “annual” - because it was disclosed, but be for REAL, it looks like you’re advertising monthly and you’re tricking people into large payments.

Honestly really disappointed to see sniff spot now requires a subscription. I don’t see a point in even keeping the app downloaded anymore. I hope these prices are somehow achievable for some people because it’s truly wild how much is being charged.
We LOVE Sniffspot. Living in the city with a small yard, this is such a great way for my dogs to explore and have the freedom they deserve
Misleading app in my opinion. They make you sign up for a “free account” and don’t even let you view a single property that’s available. Then they try to force you into a subscription just to view any properties. I deleted it instantly.
