55Beautiful Sniffspot! Lots of open green area for the dogs to run and play in. We didn’t explore the wooded area too much but looked to be more space back there. There were toys for the dogs to play with and chairs for us to sit in. Great spot, we’ll be back!Carla S.

55This was my first time using the service and I was a bit nervous as one of my pups is reactive and the other loves to try and escape. But this properly was great! Tons of space and areas for them to explore, fencing was super secure, and there were no others (dogs or people) anywhere near by as distractions. We will definitely visit again!Paxton W.

55The dogs are gonna love it there! It's got a big yard, all the nature sounds, and you can see the neighbors, but they're far enough away to ensure privacy. Those woods are perfect for the pups to sniff around. They even have chairs for owners and bowls for the dogs. It's a great spot for a picnic while the dogs run wild. The only thing was, we couldn't find any water. There was a hose, but we weren't sure if we could use it, so we used our own. Still, it's a five-star place!eunice r.

55This is a wonderful SniffSpot, unfortunately couldn’t enjoy it to the fullest because of the heat! I booked when we could go, and it just so happened that it was in the middle of the afternoon😔. My bad, however we will be back when temperatures drop, as it is a really fun place for dogs to stretch their legs, and sniff!Ann M.

FAQ About Fairfax 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.
