Sniffspot brings Airbnb-style dog parks to San Diego

• In the San Diego area, the app offers over 80 fields or fully fenced backyards you can rent for your canine companions, including a handful with pools.
• Prices typically range from about $5 to $25 an hour per pup.

Why it matters: The dozens of off-leash parks, dog-friendly beaches and hiking trails throughout San Diego aren't always convenient. Plus, some dogs don't do well when dozens of other pups are running around, and could use a private, fenced play area.

Of note: Sniffspot says some of its hosts make more than $3,000 a month renting out their unused land.
