Why We’re Encouraging Guests to Book PupVacay Through Off-Leash

Recently, someone asked why we’re encouraging guests to book PupVacay through the new Off-Leash Network instead of Sniffspot. Since we know many of our visitors are familiar with Sniffspot already, we thought we’d explain the difference!

First, we want to be clear: we’re still listed on Sniffspot, and we appreciate the platform for helping people discover private dog parks like ours. But we’re also excited to support a newer Canadian alternative that offers a few advantages for both hosts and guests.

The Biggest Difference? Pricing for Canadian Guests

Here’s the current pricing comparison for booking PupVacay:

Booking Through Sniffspot

  • $12 USD for the first dog
  • $6 USD for each additional dog

After currency conversion, that works out to approximately:

  • $16.58 CAD for the first dog
  • $8.29 CAD for each additional dog

Booking Through Off-Leash Network

  • $12 CAD for the first dog
  • $6 CAD for each additional dog

That means Canadian guests can save money simply by booking through a Canadian platform.

Why We Like Off-Leash

As a Canadian dog park host, we love supporting a platform built specifically for Canadian dog owners and hosts. We’re excited to see more local options become available in the private dog park space.

Some reasons we’re excited about Off-Leash:

  • Canadian pricing with no exchange rate surprises
  • Easier for Canadian guests
  • Supports a growing Canadian pet community
  • More affordable for multi-dog visits

We’re Still the Same PupVacay 🐾

No matter which platform you use, you’ll still get the same:

  • large private off-leash yard
  • safe fenced play space
  • enrichment features and toys
  • peaceful private bookings
  • happy, tired pups after playtime 😊

We simply wanted to let our community know why we’re encouraging bookings through Off-Leash whenever possible.

Thanks for supporting small businesses and local Canadian platforms!
