T&Jams Private Dog Park In Hilliard

Fully Fenced

2 acres

Welcome to our 2-acre Sniffspot, where tails wag and furry friends roam freely! We're thrilled to have you and your pup join us for some outdoor fun and adventure. As you arrive, we kindly ask that you park in the driveway near the two garage buildings. This not only ensures your convenience but also prioritizes safety, especially on our busy road. Your cooperation in this matter is greatly appreciated, allowing for smoother exits and peace of mind during your visit. Once parked, prepare for a pawsome experience exploring our spacious grounds. With plenty of room to romp and play, your dog will have a tail-wagging good time discovering all the sights and smells our Sniffspot has to offer. We pride ourselves on providing a dog-friendly environment where both pups and their humans can unwind and enjoy nature together. Thank you for choosing our Sniffspot for your outdoor escapades. We value your business and look forward to seeing you and your four-legged friend soon! ****Please be aware that sometimes there are two dogs that come to the back fence on the other side. This is not my property but I have spoke to the owners and they are working on a fence and collars for their dogs. I have met these dogs and they also get along with my dogs. Now that the crops are getting higher they can’t get as close to the fence but we are hoping to completely eliminate this issue once they gate off their crops. Thank you please text me for any questions or concerns.

Fully Fenced

We have over a half acre fenced. We do have chickens in the yard as well as horses in the back pasture. We have a cat that frequents the area so be aware he may visit. All of are dogs will be out of sight when you use the area. I do ask that the child swing set is only used for a maximum of 1-2 small children as it is not designed for a lot of weight. The pool in the pictures is not functional at this time. Other than that you can enjoy the lovely views of the cows to the left and the horses straight back. Its very quiet all neighbors are far away. We do have 24hr security and alarm systems including cameras all around the house. We have motion activated lights so you can see if it starts to het dark.

What people say about dog fields around Columbus, Ohio

Emily K.

August 2024

Wonderful place! Owners are super nice. My puppy loved to play in the pond and fun in the large yard!❤️❤️

Jackie P.

August 2024

I took my 3 rescue pits and my mom’s rescue pit mix and small dog to this spot and they absolutely LOVED it! There was so much room for them to run off their energy and they loved playing in the pond. I have been to several sniff spots that were falsely advertised once I got there, not clean and some of the host were very unfriendly…. However, this spot was VERY clean, the host was very friendly and nice. This spot is by far our FAVORITE spot and we will definitely be coming back!

Holly R.

August 2024

We absolutely love this spot!! The fencing is secure, there’s plenty of space to run and explore! My dog loves to watch the chickens. The pond is also very well kept and great that it’s deep enough for them to swim in. The disc golf is a nice touch for us humans too! There are neighboring dogs but they were not a problem for our visits. This is our favorite place to go!

Emily H.

August 2024

My dog absolutely loved running around the sniff spot. The yard is spacious and the host was incredibly helpful for our first visit. We'll definitely be back.

Sam G.

August 2024

What a beautiful spot. Tons of room to run, it’s a very long yard with open spaces, a creek, a koi pond that the dogs can go in - truly everything and more I’d want in a place to take my dog to have fun and expel some energy. Maya loved dipping in the pond and running and jumping over the creek. Lots of places for pet parents to sit in different parts of the yard. Monica was lovely and greeted us when we got there. A neighbor dog was out for a few minutes while we were there and we could see neighbors - neither of which pose problems for us but if that’s a need for you, just know you may see the neighbors. Such a wonderful spot - Maya and I will be back!

We had SUCH a good time!! My dog loves water and spent a lot of time fetching a float in the pond. The space was beautiful and the host was very friendly!!

My dogs favorite sniff spot. We have been to many of them. A lot of space to run and play. A pond to get his feet wet. Very very clean. No poop anywhere.

Loved this spot! It is both beautiful and clean. My puppy loved it! He was able to run and explore, he tired himself out so well he wanted to just lay down by the end of our hour.

Connie F.

October 2024

A beautiful yard with lots of space for dogs to run. The fencing was pretty secure and sections are even double fenced with cattle wire and xpen fencing. My dog was very interested in the chicken but they mostly stayed in the shed when she walked up so it was easy to call her away. We did briefly see the backyard neighbor's dog but we just crossed the creek to put some space between us and the dog didn't bark at us. Everything is nicely labeled or has good signage which was very helpful.

Brought our two and two more for a barkday party 🎂 and it was so fun. Big enough for everyone to have their space and the pond was a big hit!

Hannah K.

Lovely property, kept very clean free of hazards. Plenty of fenced in space to run. Huge fan of the pond. My Poodle has been here 3 times now and this beautiful spot is by far our favorite Sniffspot! Until next time!

Katelyn S.

October 2024

Monica and family has put so much thought into their Sniffspot ♥️ Monica came out to greet us and was incredibly warm and inviting (and didn’t mind that my pup was being on the rowdy side..). The property is larger than I thought it would be - so much space to run. I was confident in the fencing around the chickens to keep my strong boy out. They have clean water for dogs to drink, lots of toys and Sniff spit necessities. Loved all the signage as well. Very well run.

Steve N.

October 2024

Great spot! Our g. retriever loved it, especially the pond. Everything was just as advertised/expected. We had a great time.

Candace F.

November 2024

Very nice, beautiful spot. A lot of trees with plenty of running space to play fetch (some toys available to use ). A small pond for wading with a cute waterfall Perfect spot to let the dogs play while you relax in one of the multiple swings/chairs around the property. will definitely be going back.

November 2024

Excellent spot to get your dog out and run. Lots of open space. Very clean and conveniently located. Fence is very secure. There is a dog in the house at the back of the lot that barks but the owner of that dog is attentive to their dog. Highly recommend this spot.

Colleen S.

November 2024

Absolutely perfect space for my dogs and their doggy friend. The pups were all safe and had a blast. Monica was so thoughtful to have toys, poo bags, and water bowls there. Will definitely go back soon.

Allison C.

Another amazing visit to Bolte’s! I brought adoptable dog Bradley for some time away from his kennel at the shelter and he took full advantage of all the space to run and play. Monica is such a gracious host and always so helpful.

Becky Z.

February 2025

The spot was easy to find and the host came out to help us get acquainted! Great spot with a huge amount of space to run and things to sniff. My dogs had a blast!

FAQ about our Columbus dog fields

Are dog fields safe?

If you are looking for an adventure, but also looking for safety, Sniffspot dog fields are a great option. While public dog parks have a number of safety issues, such as aggressive dogs, distracted dog owners, disease transmission and general cleanliness, Sniffspot dog parks are much safer than public dog parks. With Sniffspot all bookings are private space for just you and doggy friends you bring with you and we require all dogs to be vaccinated (or have equivalent titers). Especially for training, privacy is ideal. Contrary to public dog parks, all Sniffspot locations are vetted and reviewed by guests so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog for off leash exercise or outdoor training. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits are 5 stars, while public dog parks often do not even have verified reviews. All payment is done securely online by credit card in a few simple clicks.

How can I find dog fields in Columbus?

There are 41 dog fields in the Columbus area. The most popular dog field is Bolte's Backyard Oasis. You can browse all of our dog fields here.

How do I know if a dog field works for my dog?

All park rental information is available online. Start by filtering parks by fencing, size and distractions, to find a private spot that works for your dog. If your dog has poor recall, you can visit one of our secure fields. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our dog fields where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can review the details of the listing to make sure it works as your desired activity space, for example, safe dog exercise, dog training, a stress-free adventure with your furry friend or even a puppy event. You can even check the park amenities chart for amenities such as indoor training facilities, agility field, synthetic turf, exercise balls or field parking availability in advance. If inclement weather is an issue or poor field conditions, you can reschedule your visit up to 2 hours in advance.

What are the requirements to bring my dog to a Sniffspot dog field?

We require that all four-legged friends have basic vaccinations or equivalent titers. We do not allow dogs with a bite history. We require that guests sign our waiver and agree to follow our safety rules. Make sure to check host rules before visiting to ensure, for instance, that you are following allowable sports activities rules and any special events rules.

Will there be other dogs at the Sniffspot field at the same time as me?

No. Facility rentals are for private play time and any host dogs are required to be kept away from the area during visits, so this is perfect for a private adventure for you and your doggie friends, and perhaps a human friend. Hosts understand that many guests have dogs in training and are nervous owners. So when you book a Sniffspot dog field you have the entire private spot to yourself. We also enforce 30 min time buffers between time slots so you will not run into other guest dogs or a previous person when coming or leaving in the field parking area. Some hosts may have multiple fields, but there is always a buffer between fields.

How much do Sniffspot fields cost?

Dog fields in the Columbus area range from $4.0 and $20.0. The least expensive dog field is Angela's Private Dog Park In Baltimore. The most expensive dog field is Josh's Private Dog Park In Ostrander. Each host sets their own price, so you can check the price on the specific Sniffspot dog park listing.
