Maybe they love to sprint around as you throw a ball… we have that! With this in mind, the goal is for you to relax in our patio furniture and see your dog making a memory from playing in ways you both enjoy in a yard. Welcome welcome!

brought my two babies to enjoy some time outside in the sun and was not disappointed! The shaded area was so nice to sit under and great for when my dogs needed to rest and cool down. We were left a water bottle to use when my pups got thirsty which was very much appreciated. there were no interruptions from other people or pets even with the neighbors having dogs (they didn’t bark or engage with my dogs at the fence who can be a bit reactive) so it was very relaxing and quiet. I will definitely be bring my babies back, they enjoyed their time here and so did i!

Oreo's Crib is a hidden gem and an absolute delight! My pup Zoe had the time of her life running around the large yard and exploring every corner of it. The quiet neighborhood made it the perfect setting for a fun and relaxing outing. The backyard had a great amount of shade, which was a lifesaver on a sunny day. Veronica's thoughtful touches, like providing toys and pillows for my pup to play and relax on, as well as water for me and WiFi, made our visit even better. Zoe and I are already booked for our next visit and bringing our puppy pals! Thanks, Oreo's Crib, for creating such a fantastic space for pups and their humans. 🐾🌳🌞 Dog parents, if you want a safe, shady, and fun place for your furry friends, head over to Oreo's Crib! You and your pup will love it!

FAQ about our Houston small dog parks

Are small 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 are 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 park users so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits are 5 stars.

How can I find small dog parks in Houston?

There are 164 small dog parks in the Houston area. The most popular small dog park is . You can browse all of our small dog parks here.

How do I know if a small dog park works for my dog?

Start by applying basic filters, such as fencing and distractions, to find a dog park that works for your furry friends. If your dog doesn't respond to owner commands, you can visit one of our enclosed dog park areas. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our small dog park sites where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can see any park amenities provided, including a park bench, water for dogs or water features such as kiddie pool or water hose. If your dog loves water, you can go to a park with water features, but if they don't love water, you can avoid them. We also recommend reading reviews to check for park maintenance issues and reaching out to the host with any questions. And lastly, of course, check park hours. Many of our parks are open from dawn until dusk.

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

We require that all dogs have basic vaccinations or equivalent titers. We do not allow dogs with a bite history. We require that owners sign our waiver and agree to follow our safety rules. We also require that pet owners follow safety protocols around water features.

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

Sniffspot only allows one booking at a time and any host dogs are required to be kept away from the spot during visits. We also enforce 30 min time buffers between bookings.

How much do Sniffspot small dog parks cost?

Small dog parks in the Houston area range from $1.2 and $50.0. The least expensive small dog park is Sugar Land Dog Boarding. The most expensive small dog park is Roads End: 13 Acre Fully Fenced Private Dog Park In Cypress. Each host sets their own price, so you can check the price on the specific Sniffspot dog park listing.

Can I have an event or party at a small dog park?

If you are planning an amazing small dog park party, each Sniffspot park has their own rules regarding special events. Many parks allow doggie birthday parties, training, water parties and other event types. Event organizers need to be responsible for their guests and event organizers should coordinate with the host regarding their fun party. Make sure the park has amenities you need for your party, such as a park with lots of picnic tables with park benches.
