55Nice yard. Had a kiddie pool available in case the pups got overheated. Also had a bowl of water available, which I appreciated. Had seating and a table available in the shade, which I also appreciated because it was a warm day.Eltonya W.

55A wonderful location with everything that you could ever need from poop bags to bug spray! Great toys and add-on options. We would highly recommend adding on the pool option for your visit. It was a huge hit with our pup! Plenty of space for dogs to run and play fetch. Great shade coverage and chairs to sit if needed. The host was also so sweet and clearly goes above and beyond! We can’t wait to visit again. Brian T.

55If I could give Alyssa‘s place 10 stars I would! Such a beautiful well-kept yard with everything a dog could want! She has a baby pool, multiple sprinklers, toys, and bubbles! She left me an ice cold bottle of water which was such a wonderful surprise. There was also bug spray which was helpful. I will be back many many times!Hannah F.

55Nice sized yard with lots of shade and amenities! Plenty of green grass to roll around in or to chase a toy. The dogs next door were present, but they weren't obnoxious or relentless the way some neighborhood dogs are. My dog sniffed through the fence a bit and then wandered off. It's a very nice neighborhood with large, mature trees.Alan S.

55The yard was the perfect amount of sun and shade with lots of grass. One of my dogs is reactive and I've been working with him on it. One of the neighbors dog came out and said hello through the gate. At first my dog had his normal aggressive greeting. However, the fence was the perfect barrier to work with him on. By the end of our time, he was chasing the other dog with happy body language as they ran back and forth on their respective sides of the fence. Will definitely be back.Matthew W.

55What an awesome spot for my fluffer to sniff! So many new sights and smells for him to explore! It’s spacious for those who want to play fetch or bring multiple dogs, but cozy enough to just sit and relax with my pup in the sunshine (or shade😉). There’s lots of toys to choose from, and treats for my dog (I so appreciated that because I ran out), even extra pop bags for “just in case”. Alyssa provided a fresh, clean, cold bowl of water; and bottles of water for me! Beautiful, comfy deck with chairs and a couch; and Adirondack chairs by the fire pit. Her lawn clean is well maintained; my dog enjoyed lying in the cool grass to relax. What a great location, quiet neighborhood, and fully fenced. I felt my dog was completely safe to be himself. Bear & I will most definitely be back! Jan C.

55Alyssa’s yard was an urban oasis. There is a nice green lawn, but also has trees and other areas that our two pups loved sniffing around. The dogs also loved the splash pad for cooling off in. We found plenty of dog toys stored in a container for our use, along with the essentials (water and waste bags). We will definitely book again, it was a lovely experience! tamara b.

FAQ about our Sandston 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.
