45It was a nice fenced yard with shade. But, it had some older dog waste in the yard that was not cleaned up.
55Yard was in great condition, instructions were easy to follow.
55We had a great time. Thank you!!!
35The yard is great and there is plenty of street parking. Unfortunately the owner’s doggie door was not secure and a dog let itself out. Thankful the dog was friendly but it was an unexpected encounter. I let the dog back inside the house, shut the door and sadly never heard from the owner regarding securing the doggie door.
45Pretty big space with a front/back yard. The pups wanted to run back and forth from the front and back yard which kept us moving from place to place to keep an eye on them. The dogs also found 2 marrow bones that were hidden in a hole in the front- luckily we don’t have resource guarded dogs otherwise, I’d imagine the chasing one another for it would’ve been worst.
55Yard was great! She left out a bowl of ice water and some toys for my pup. Will definitely be back!
55Plenty of shade and sniffing spots for dogs. The host left ice cold water out for my dogs that we very much appreciated. We used the yard as a training session for our new puppy and older dog and they had a ton of fun getting used to each other. We will definitely be back!
55We both loved our experience here — tons of room for play & “find it.” Thank you!!!
55Jessica’s yard was large, clean, and had lots of places for sniffing! There were toys out to play with and a nice place to sit on the patio. Ginger had a great time running around and exploring - it was perfect! We will definitely be back with friends. One heads up - there are a couple relatively deep foot-sized holes in the front yard so just keep an eye out :)
55Right in Falls Church. Super convenient!

Description

Fully enclosed front & backyard with 5 - 7 ft wood fence. Open space to run and play! Patio with chairs and a table. Larger trees provide shade. Please park in the street in front of the house. Enter through either the front or back gate. If I have advance notice and I am home, I will leave a cold bowl of water on the back patio. If you bring your own bowl and I wasn’t able to leave one out, please feel free to use the hose and water from the spigot on the back of the house to the right of the deck. Please make sure you turn it off when you are finished. The patio also has an electrical outlet along with a bin including some toys, poop bags, water bowl and bug spray! Please pick up your dogs poop! I provide bags along with a pooper scoop. Apologies in advance if you run into any of my dogs droppings.

Cleanliness

92% of guests said this spot was as clean as expected during their visit.

Hazards

Most of the backyard is grassy, but there are some dirt patches on the side of the yard. Front yard has a small slope to it and somewhat deep sized holes. I have filled them in multiple times but some animal digs in the middle of the night! Dog poop may be in yard.

Relaxing oasis in Alexandria

After living in a townhome in Old Town for 20 years with no yard or outdoor space, I decided to buy a new house. My dogs only exercise was walking on a leash or finding empty dog parks at strange hours. Although my dogs were well-behaved, I observed a lot of negative behavior from pets and owners in city dog parks and wasn’t comfortable letting my dogs mingle there. When I bought this house a couple years ago, I knew I wanted to create an oasis for my pets. My landscape architect clearcut 75 feet back into the woods, installed retaining walls to help level the steep slope on the side yard and planted lots of grass to create the perfect backyard. The property is on almost an acre, so the back of the fence is very private with a wooded area. Occasionally, you can see deer on their way to the creek and hear fox behind the fence, although that is usually after 11pm. There is a lot of privacy and nature to enjoy from the patio.The yard is bright and sunny in the morning and shady after 2 or so. Since my yard brings so much joy to my dogs, when my friend told me about Sniffspot, I thought it was the perfect opportunity to share this dog friendly space with the community. There is always ample street parking right in front of my house.  The 6 foot fence is reinforced with chicken wire to keep small dogs in and other animals out. The gentle slope is perfect for fetch to wear out high energy dogs faster. Lots of areas to sniff and explore. The entire yard is dog friendly with no pesticides or toxic plants. Water hose, dog bowl, toys, dog bags and trash can are provided. This yard was created for my dogs so all furniture is pet friendly and the dogs go wherever they want. I do try to keep them out of the fenced part of the garden (where the tacky yard art lives 😂) due to beer traps for the slugs but I don’t freak out when they jump the mini-fence. I don’t want any guest to feel any stress while visiting. Dogs will be dogs and normal dog behavior is expected. There is a fan next to the gazebo for warm days. The fan is plugged into a multi-outlet extension cord and you’re welcome to use both! If you’re into grounding, I never wear shoes when I’m in my yard. The yard is probably more than a quarter of an acre. The land that goes with my house is 1 acre. However, I don’t know how to measure the inside fence and I’d rather under promise and overdeliver. The entrance from the street is double gated, like a dog park, to prevent accidental escapes. Enjoy the gazebo and patio with dog beds for relaxing and shade. Surrounded by trees, the birds and fountain offer the perfect oasis to get away from high stress city living. Wednesday late mornings and early afternoons are blocked off for my lawn mowing company. Monday mornings, my dog poop pickup company services my yard. On Mondays, they usually come in the morning, but I don’t have a specific time. If you have a people aggressive dog, you may want to avoid this time since I don’t know when they will actually show up. I do pick up daily but have the service for anything missed as it’s a large yard with 3 dogs to track. If interested in hosting a party, I am open to a group of people and more dogs than the limit states. Send a chat to discuss details.
