55We had the best time! There was water, bug spray and treats! Any goldendoodle had the best time and there was more than enough shade. We did hear another dog next door but it was only for a quick moment.Ahlia V.

55We had such an amazing experience. We met with Christoper. He is super nice and we really appreciated the interest he took in Senna and how willing he was to help out with anything. The space is very comfortable. It was so great being able to see the joy that it brought our pup. Maddie A.

55Bristol loved this spot! She usually lays around a lot when we rent yards on this app but today she sniffed around the whole time! Such a large spot with great scenery and lounging. Was having a stressful day and couldn't deal with going to a dog park, it was the perfect peaceful spot for my dog and I! Arminda O.

55We had a wonderful time at this Sniffspot! It's conveniently located and the fence is nice and secure. There was lots of room for our Sasha to run and sniff, she was exhausted after the hour. We would recommend this spot to anyone!Isabell W.

55This is such a gorgeous backyard!! Ample amount of space to run and sniff and tons of toys available. The host also had a large bowl of water available for us which was great! Fence is secure and tall - they even have chicken wire on the bottom on parts of the fence to prevent smaller dogs from getting out. Be sure to bring some bug spray if you attracts mosquitoes. 5/5 and definitely will be back! Emily G.

FAQ about our Charlotte 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. 97% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Charlotte 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 342 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.
