55Our guys had a great time at Alyssa’s. The yard was secure and clean. She had a nice selection of toys and a few places for us to sit, which was great for our kids, who came along. She also had bottled water for us and a bowl of fresh water ready for the dogs. Our guys are really energetic and her yard was perfect for their high energy. We were able to back in to the side gate, which helped us get them in and out more easily on leash. And, Alyssa was great at communicating before, during, and after our visit. Add all this to the super convenient location and we will definitely book again!Kaitlin C.

55We had such a great visit and will totally come back. The yard is so spacious & lovely. It was perfect for Zemo to get his zoomies out and really nice for us to get out of the city.
Alyssa had toys & a kiddie pool outside for our dog so we could give him a bath. She even left out waters for the humans (so thoughtful!). Chelsea A.

55Big fenced in yard that provided plenty of space for my city dog to run and Sniff. Mike is still super leash reactive so walks in my neighborhood can be challenging. This a such a welcome solution while we continue to work with his issues. Sharon G.

55This is really a nice size yard with very secure fencing and plenty of room for running, fetching, and sniffing! Some initial barking from neighboring dogs, but ended quickly. My pups loved running and sniffing and were very tired when we left. Bug spray and poop bags were out and appreciated. Joy M.

55Very nice open space, I used the spot a few times and every time we go my baby love it. It's always quiet, sometime you can hear near by neighbor’s dog but it doesn't stopmy big boy from playing Kortney J.

55Beautiful back yard with quite a few balls for fetch and nice long stretch of grass to run on. Note that this yard is surrounded by dogs--mostly quiet & unseen but still occasionally visible/barking. If you have a fearful doggo, keep this in mind. The barking wasn't loud but it did startle my dog, who is afraid of other dogs. Also had to be careful and shield my dog from the neighbor's fence as we entered the gated backyard. A beautiful white doggo was curiously looking at us through the slots on the neighbor's side. Though quiet and harmless, my dog would have been very scared to see a silent visitor spying close to us.

55So much fun- didn't miss an inch sniffing. Clean yard, a few toys that were fun, and lots of running around. The generator kicked in which spooked her but she acclimated quickly, a dog next door barked but quickly went back inside. Moonie looked in every window on side porch, I guess she thought she should be invited in😂. It was perfect for us, so nice just to relax and have fun. We'll be back. Thanks!Deborah S.

FAQ about our Charles City 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 Charles City area are 5 stars.
How do I know if a dog park works for my dog?
You can filter Sniffspot dog parks by fencing and distractions. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our 233 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 23 off leash areas where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby.
