55Great spot with lots of space. It's a mix of woods and large open field so plenty to explore for dogs who want to sniff in the woods and plenty of space for dogs who want to chase a ball or Frisbee. The entrance, parking spot, and bin to throw waste were all well marked. A great spot, especially for bigger dogs who need lots of room to run. Abby H.

55We had so much fun at this sniff spot! It’s very spacious and well maintained. Our dog was absolutely exhausted afterwards. The host was super communicative before hand and left out water, treats, and human snacks. They also left clear instructions for access, where to park, and how to dispose of pet waste. If you go at dusk, I’d recommend packing bug spray. 11/10. We’ll be back!Diana D.

55This spot is great. It is well marked when you arrive and has easy close parking. The yard has a enough space for my 50 lbs girl to run and have lots of good sniffs. The fence is very secure. There as lots of shade and water was out for my pup! Kelly A.

55Wow what a beautiful property and incredible opportunity for dogs to be off leash! It was wonderful to see our two dogs so happy and curious in this new place. Huge front and back yard, as well as a wooded area to explore. The yard was totally clean and the fence was well maintained.
The spot was exactly as described, instructions and signage were clear, and the owner was communicative. Just perfect. Thank you for having us!Elisabeth H.

55Great property and the gate is appreciated. My little dude had never been let loose in such a big area, he didn't know what to do LOL! Area was clean and private. This is a great property to train off leash call back. Poopie bags and trash cans provided as were chairs and water bowls. Human snacks (crackers with cheese or pb filling) were also available and a nice touch! Thank you for making your property available!Alyce G.

55This spot had clearly labeled private entry and was very securely fully fenced. The host left out fresh water and poop bags if needed and the yard + patio were very clean. You could hear some neighbor dogs, but it was overall pretty quiet. My dog, Wendy, had a lot of fun and We will definitely be back! Emily R.

55My dog had a great time here. Host was communicative and helpful. In the Sniffspot profile the host warns that the gate can blow open when it’s windy. That did happen to us, so be mindful. I better secured the gate with my dog’s leash and that was enough to hold it the rest of our visit.Laura S.

55It was Macy's first sniff spot, she spent most of our time exploring, munching on grass, but we also ran around unsuccessfully fetching a tennis ball. Thanks for hosting us. Jennifer K.

55This hidden gem exceeded all my expectations! My dogs and I had an amazing time during our stay, with plenty of space to run, play, and explore. The area was well-equipped with toys, water, a trash bin, and ample seating in both sun and shade. It was the perfect day for fun, and as a first-time user of this app, I couldn't have asked for a better host than Nasheen. She was quick to respond, incredibly friendly, and made me feel completely at ease. The dogs had such a great time that they tired out quickly, since they hadn't had the chance to run like that in a while. I appreciate having a private space to enjoy without the stress of dog parks, and I'm so grateful to Nasheen for opening her home to us. We can't wait to return!

FAQ About Fairfax Dog Parks

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.

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.
