## Caption

Sniffspot is like Airbnb for dogs, except instead of booking a vacation rental house or condo, you’re booking a private yard, a beach, a farm or even a swimming pool for your dog to romp around in without having to share the space with other canines as you would in a dog park.

The company was started in 2018 by an entrepreneur named David Adams. At the time, Adams was living in a high-rise in Seattle and taking his Labrador mix named Soba to dog parks. Adams said the parks were often small, crowded and not very clean, and sometimes Soba got into doggie conflicts.

Adams said there are now about 100,000 users of Sniffspot and he estimates that they spent about $10 million this year on rentals, double the amount spent last year. The Twin Cities is one of his more popular markets, with about 300 locations in the metro area.
