55My dogs had so much fun at Kimber’s yard! She had lots of extra toys, poop bags, and water for the pups and had a couple of little pools for them to splash around in. We had so much fun and will definitely come back :)Cara C.

55Perfection! Plenty of mosquito repellent, water, and toys for the dogs. It was not only fun for the dogs but relaxing for me too at the end of a long work day. Windchimes, good vibes, and an amazing atmosphere to boot! We will be back without a doubt. Savannah C.

55Wonderful visit! Lots to sniff for Ghost. Hosts were wonderful and provided water, poop bags, dog toys, pools, bug spray, and a fan. While there is a dog on the other side of the fence, we felt comfortable with the set up (Ghost is working on his reactivity). Thank you!Tiffany C.

55We had such an incredible experience at Kimber’s fenced in backyard oasis! This expansive property was unbelievably landscaped, in the beautiful Barton Hills area. I was genuinely blown away by how much fun our visit was! There was plenty of open space for my two high energy pups to run free to their heart’s content. We felt very safe and at peace here, without any outside distractions during our stay. There was tons of interesting and varying terrain for my dogs to excitedly smell and explore as well. We immediately felt at home, due to the charming tranquil set up for our visit when we arrived. This yard is truly a rare gem to find in a location this central and close to our home. We cannot wait to book with Kimber again extremely soon! Her communication and responsiveness was top notch, and she also stocked the patio area with plenty of awesome toys that your fur babies will have a blast playing with! I sincerely appreciated all of the thoughtful touches that enhanced our time here, and sincerely look forward to another wonderful stay in the future. My pups were absolutely ecstatic for such an amazing opportunity to have a fantastic adventure together, and were beyond happily exhausted when we left. We are so grateful that you hosted us today Kimber, thank you again :)Cassandra R.

55Our pup enjoyed Kimber’s place so much! There’s a lot of space and different kinds of things to sniff, and he particularly enjoyed jumping on all the big rocks that are placed around. Kimber was very communicative and accommodating. We’ll definitely be back!Jordan T.

55That was a blast! Such a beautiful and safe environment. Our dog who does not like other dogs, enjoyed every minute of it! There was a pool of water that she could drink out of when she got a bit hot. There was a place for adults and kids to sit while a dog runs around. Definitely going back! ♥️🐶 Stephanie M.

FAQ about our Austin dog parks
Are dog parks good for dogs?
It is important for dogs to have off leash exercise to sniff and run. But the free and open nature of public dog parks has drawbacks. There could be aggressive dogs, disease transmission and cleanliness issues. For this reason, many dog behaviorists discourage visiting public dog parks and recommend Sniffspot's private dog parks. Sniffspot private dog parks only allow one guest to book at a time and are not open to the public, which solves many of these issues.
Are dog parks safe?
While public dog parks have a number of safety issues, such as aggressive dogs, disease transmission and general cleanliness, Sniffspot dog parks much safer than public dog parks. With Sniffspot all bookings are private for just you and dogs you bring with you and we require all dogs to be vaccinated (or have equivalent titers). All Sniffspot locations are vetted and reviewed by guests so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog. 96% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Austin area are 5 stars.

You can filter Sniffspot dog parks by fencing and distractions. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our 145 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 28 off leash areas where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can also filter locations to avoid other domestic animals and people. We also recommend reading reviews and reaching out to the host with any questions.
