55We had such a great visit and will totally come back. The yard is so spacious & lovely. It was perfect for Zemo to get his zoomies out and really nice for us to get out of the city.
Alyssa had toys & a kiddie pool outside for our dog so we could give him a bath. She even left out waters for the humans (so thoughtful!). Chelsea A.

55Very nice open space, I used the spot a few times and every time we go my baby love it. It's always quiet, sometime you can hear near by neighbor’s dog but it doesn't stopmy big boy from playing Kortney J.

55Had a great afternoon in Alyssas spacious back yard! She had a pool setup and plenty of toys for the boys to play with! Baloo and Morty absolutely love tennis balls and water so we had everything we needed for an afternoon in a shaded yard with a pool to keep cool. I 100% recommend coming by and enjoying what Alyssa has to offer with her yard. Patrick M.

FAQ about our Charles City 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. 96% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Charles City 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 157 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 23 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.
