55Great spot that is fully fenced. I was a little unsure of the location at first, but you just turn into a long drive way right where Google maps says the address is. The house and fenced area are at the top of the hill. My dog had a great time running around. There were a few tennis balls, which she LOVED more than the toys I brought with us.
One tip is to bring some bug spray. We came the morning after a storm, and there were a lot of mosquitos (as one would expect in VA). We ended up leaving a bit early because I couldn’t take the bites. But we’ll be back again and just remember the spray. Natalie H.

55Although I did not meet the host, the spot was very relaxing for both myself and my puppy. She LOVED the greenery and the hill. I like how secluded the location is and that there were minimal insects about side of the occasional mosquito. Thank you! Brittany K.

55Lovely little yard conveniently located and easy to find with map app directions. My energetic pup was thrilled to chase the tennis ball we found up and down the little slope and tuckered himself out during his hour. Patty pulled up to say hello and was nice as could be. Great place to let city dogs off leash to chase and fetch. Thank you!Juliette B.

55Favorite spot, hands & paws down! Great space for Queenie to let loose, run, and chase a ball where I still have eyes on her so she doesn’t get into mischief. The area is well-secured and has chairs to sit down. There are toys and balls to choose from as well, in case you forget your own. It’s clean, quiet, and private as well and has a great spot to park your car near the gate entrancd.Sarah V.

55While we enjoyed our time in this yard, it was deceptively small. The photos show a lot of land but the fenced-in portion not large. The yard was clean and well-maintained, the directions were easy to follow but we ended up leaving withiurtwo Aussies after about 15 min to find a dog park where they could run Jessica B.

55We love this Sniffspot. There are a ton of smells and enough room for my pup to run around. There are also toys, which she loves because she can smell the other dogs that have been there.
Patty is great. Today we forgot our water, and she happened to be home and brought some out for us. So, remember to bring some water! (We’ll remember next time) 😀
The driveway is a little bit before the place where Google has the address. It’s a long winding driveway up to a beautiful house on a hill. Natalie H.

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. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits are 5 stars.
