55Drove 45 minutes to get here & would do it again!!! Everything is as noted on the listing - including the"hazardous" manure. Wasn't an issue for us or our dogs- so much space for 2 hounds to live it up!
Janet provided great communication & availability for a "day of" booking & she was so kind to talk with.
My husband said to rate our visit a 4 but couldn't tell me what would have made it better ... So ***** from me!!!Dena B.

55Absolutely fabulous experience! Our 2 dogs loved every minute of this gorgeous location. The sights, smells, and activities are everything a dog(s) can ask for!🐕🐕🦺🐶🐾🐾🐾🐾
And even as a family, we adults found it to be a magnificent experience away from daily living without having to go far on an actual travel trip. That is the magic of this experience—- it lets you go to nature easily, without any life disruptions.
So easy to book and go. Far enough removed to feel like you’re in nature, but also safely nestled in enough neighborhood that you don’t feel like you’re in the “boonies” so to speak.
The host was very accommodating and we definitely want to return. Safety was important for us, and we appreciated that our dogs couldn’t get out and thst they fencing was such that we could close off some of it if we wanted them to take a break from one area and stay with us in another.
Also, the animal fencing was ideal in that they could sniff up close to the donkeys without any risks of getting too close from either side. 🫏
The animals each have their own special personalities and quirks. It’s pure joy to see them and to see how much our dogs loved them too! The chickens 🐓 were also a great joy.
Extremely beautiful big areas, but not so vast that you can’t find your dog.😅 Exactly the perfect space for dogs to run like mad wild, but you know where they are. You can see them, even when from quite a distance.
They had the time of their lives, and we definitely recommend snd will be returning too!
Thank you. 😊 ✨✨✨✨
Highly highly recommend. Many stsrs! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Robin P.

55Can’t rave about this experience enough!! My dogs are a little older but the puppy came out as soon as we pulled up! Janet came to meet us and was so lovely and kind!! She has made this space truly dog FRIENDLY!! It was like taking my kids to an amusement park! I wasn’t sure how they would react to the animals but they loved the donkeys and even played with them through the fence. However, if you dog wouldn’t like this there is a gate you can close and still have lots of room to run and fetch and play!! We had brought our own water but, Janet already had water and chairs and toys waiting for us. There is nice shade while still getting sun. We will absolutely be back!! Thank you for the best Gotcha Day gift I could give my boy! Estelle K.

55Once again, we had the most joyous time with all 3 dogs this time! Can’t say enough good words on how spectacular this sniff spot is for dogs. They cried hysterically when we arrived at the long driveway, as they realized exactly where they were, in only their 2nd time! That itself is the best review, isn’t it? Most definitely will return often…. Love love love this experience. The donkeys even seemed to remember us. What a paradise for doggies! Best of the best times! Robin P.

55Another joyous, perfect, hilarious, fun, wild, happy, funny, silly, and incredible day on doggie paradise! We love this place so much. And the host is always kind and polite. Thank you once again for your amazing hospitality. ✨✨✨✨
The dogs realize when we are pulling up and their lose their minds in joy! Haha we can’t even get them to settle down enough to safely get out of the car. And the antics with the competition for the donkeys’ attention leave us in endless hard-core laughter. Can’t wait to return again and again 🩷🐕🦺🐶🐕🫏🫏🫏🫏🫏🫏🫏🫏Robin P.

55We have become regulars -so from now on, I won’t clog her reviews with our words, but will just give the 5-⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️’s it always deserves! But just want to add to what I’ve said already that this spot is amazing in how it doubles as a picturesque site for family and dog photos. We’ve loved being able to do this along with what we originally came to do— give our doggies utter joy running and greeting the sweet donkeys and chickens. It’s a blast and the dogs know when we are pulling up — which is the best review any pet can give 😌🐕🦺🐕🐶🐾🐾🐾❤️Robin P.

55Really beautiful property. The fencing was very secure. Lots of shady areas for a hot day. Janet the host is so kind and considerate. She left out fresh water, poop bags, toys and bug spray with a couple of chairs. There are cute donkeys and chickens on site. My dog was fascinated by them. Really nice peaceful place for my dogs to get a good run in. We would love to come back. Flora L.

55Big, secured area! My dog loved sniffing, running and rolling around. The chairs, water and toys were a welcomed addition to our rental. Having a reactive dog is tough so spots like this that allow her to roam safely off leash are amazing. We will definitely be back! Kelsey S.

55We love taking our dogs here. The only thing I could have something negative to say about is the amount of horse or donkey poo on the property. Other than that. We love it. The dogs absolutely love it. One of our dogs wants to "roll" around in the piles of poop. Still worth going there though.Tony J.

FAQ about our Smithfield 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. 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 guests so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog. 97% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Smithfield area are 5 stars.
How do I know if a dog park works for my dog?
You can filter Sniffspot dog parks by fencing and distractions. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our 182 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 16 off leash areas where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can also filter locations to avoid other domestic animals and people. We also recommend reading reviews and reaching out to the host with any questions.
