a month. You must, however, own private land that is free of major hazards, such as live electric fences or empty pools. You are also required to provide a spot that does not have other dogs, people, or domestic animals.

Easy access

After downloading the Sniffspot app from Google Play or the App Store, you can browse by location and the type of park including dog water parks, dog hiking trails, dog fields, fenced dog parks, dog agility parks, small dog parks, dog beaches, and indoor dog parks. You can see recent photos and read two-sided reviews, where both hosts and guests are rated after every visit. Some locations include features and niceties such as real grass, agility equipment, a swimming pool, towels, dog toys, drinking water, chairs, etc. Once you select a desired location, prompts will request your preferred date, time, the number of dogs you will bring, and the length of time you want to stay. Then you will be required to sign a waiver that says, “This is the real world. If anything happens, you’re indemnifying the host for any issue that might happen during your visit ”

Sniffspot hosts have complete control over scheduling their location. And they set their own price. While many of the parks offer the option to access memberonly benefits with a fixed monthly price, hourly rates range from $5–$20. Sniffspot has hosts in over 3,600 cities averaging 15,000 bookings per month. “Even our hosts that have hundreds of bookings every month only spend a few hours per month actually managing their spot,” Adams said. And when it comes to insurance, he stated “We provide our hosts $2 million of liability insurance in case anything gets past our safety precautions or waiver and becomes an issue. We’ve never had an issue with this. But in this way, we've set up many levels of protection and make things super safe for our Sniffspot hosts.”
