55Beautiful spot with so many sniffortunities! The trees and the fan make it very doable even on a very hot day. Lots of toys, different types of areas to explore and play, and a great spot for the pawrents to just chill.Kathryn C.

55This spot was perfect for my friend’s and I’s pups. It was really big and there were plenty of things for the pups to sniff. There was even a kiddie pool that my friend’s dog LOVED. They had fresh water for them and places to sit. They even had three different kinds of bug spray… oh and PLENTY of toys!! Highly recommend!Becca W.

55It was extremely clean and had way more space than the photos made it look like. It was a lil buggy but that’s expected in August in NC and they had bug spray on a table, I brought my own but maybe this is out for guests? If you’re looking for a big open space for fetch probably not the spot (as it’s a little difficult to play and avoid all the landscaping) but if you want somewhere for fun sniffs and a beautiful aura it’s definitely the spot!Bethany T.

55Such a great space! Plenty of different areas to check out and sniff around, and a good hill that tired my girl out! The owner left a kiddie pool of fresh water out too!Patricia L.

55I recently visited this Sniffspot for the first time with my husband and our two fur babies, Arya and Sly. The experience was nothing short of amazing!
Having a wild spirit like Arya and a blind pup like Sly can make finding suitable play areas a challenge. Sniffspot was a game-changer for us. The yard was not only beautiful but also provided the privacy we needed for our unique needs.
Apple, the host, was an absolute gem. Not only was she warm and welcoming, but she was also incredibly responsive to any questions or concerns we had. Her attention to detail and genuine care for our experience really stood out.
The yard itself was a canine paradise. There was an abundance of water and toys, ensuring our pups were well-entertained throughout our visit. The spacious area allowed Arya to unleash her wild side, while Sly navigated with confidence, thanks to the private and secure environment.
Whether it was running freely, exploring every nook and cranny, or simply lounging around, there was no shortage of opportunities for our dogs to enjoy themselves. Sniffspot provided an enriching experience for both Arya and Sly, and for us as pet parents, it was a true delight to witness.
We're already making plans to return. Sniffspot has undoubtedly earned its place as our go-to spot for private, safe, and enjoyable playtime. Kudos to Apple for creating such a haven for our furry family members. We can't wait to be back!Kelly P.

55Wonderful. My little six month old corgi loved the experience. It was clean. Plenty of water for her to drink. Toys that my little one found and just tons of different features and elements to entertain my little girl. We will be back. Christina F.

55We really enjoyed our time in this yard! Our dog truly sniffed the whole time and was worn out when we left. Lots of nooks and crannies to sniff and play. Easy to park and enter yard.Sam S.

55What a wonderful backyard! Love the plants and even some flowers in December. My sister and I both brought our dogs and while my puppy is a bit more nervous when he hears other dogs barking, somehow Apple’s dogs were sending such happy barks he actually wanted to go up to see them. It was such a good experience for him to hear faint barking & not be intimidated. Loved that they were able to accommodate us on the afternoon of Christmas Eve in a quiet neighborhood for some lovely weather & fun with the pups.
She had out waters, paw wipes, & tons of toys for our pups to sniff as well. We will be back!Veronica M.

55Yard was clean and ready for our pup! They provided wipes and toys! Great place for our dog who is timid around other dogs to get some energy out :)Callie B.

55My dogs loved this large space! They ran up and down that hill so many time! By the time we got home, they were exhausted! Apple told me via message that it was a bit muddy due to the rain we’ve had, which was so nice to prepare for! I’ll definitely come back :)Tracy C.

55We had a great visit! It was a beautiful fenced in backyard that my 6 month old puppy had so much fun running around in. Only thing I’d say is that depending on the time of day you visit, bug spray is a necessity - I brought my own but the host also had some sitting out as well! Kathryn H.

FAQ about our Erwin 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 Erwin area are 5 stars.
