This is a tail-wagging wonderland a BIG, grassy playground area that’s 100% private and fully fenced (5-foot chain link plus a 6-foot privacy fence for extra peace of mind). It’s not my personal backyard, so your pup gets the true “private dog park” experience without ever needing to pass behind my home. Whether your dog lives for endless games of fetch, zoomie marathons, or just sniffing every blade of grass, they’ll have plenty of space to run, romp, and roll. Here’s what’s waiting for you: • 🪑 Picnic table & umbrella — for comfy human supervision (or snacks between fetch rounds). • 💦 Water fun! — A hose (year around) and a kiddie pool (summer months) for splashy play and cooling off. • 🥤 Large stainless steel water bowl — always clean and ready to fill. • 🎾 Outdoor toy box — stocked with toys, treats, and other goodies for pup-approved fun. • 💩 Poop bags — because being a good dog park citizen is easy here. • 💡 Evening playtime ready — spotlight in the yard plus a streetlight out front for safe after-dark visits. The neighborhood is quiet and friendly, so you might spot neighbors strolling by with their own pups or kids while you play but your space stays private. If your four-legged best friend dreams of a safe, spacious, and playful getaway, you’ve just found it. 💚🐕 Come pawty with us at Emily’s Sniff Spot! 🐾🎉

Our home is situated on a very private and beautiful (0.7 acre) lot which is largely surrounded by woods. The fully fenced backyard (0.3 acre) has plenty of room to run and also some interesting areas to sniff and explore. My family moved to Raleigh in 2022 and our first priority was to install a backyard fence for our 2 dogs (Ginger, staffordshire terrier and Cici, pit/lab mix). Sadly, in 2025 both senior dogs crossed the rainbow bridge. Lately our big empty backyard has been a painful reminder of that loss, so it truly brings me joy to have the privilege to open our space for other dogs. They deserve it!

Elana's Fully Fenced Private Dog Park WITH Dog Wash Station In Clayton

Fully Fenced
0.5 acres

Welcome to my SniffSpot! Thank you for considering my location for your next dog park visit. I offer approximately a half acre of open, flat, unobstructed, private and completely fenced green space. Great place to play long distance fetch! Or let your pup(s) get out the zoomies while you relax on the shaded beautiful bench swing or Adirondack chairs. Does your pup need to cool off after playing? No problem because two doggie pools are readily available along with a water bowl and garden hose. I provide a dog station with poop bags and trash can for your convenience. Is your pup stinky after a full day of play? As an “Extra” I provide a Dog Wash station stocked with a variety of shampoo/conditioner, face and body wipes, and of course doggie treats for afterwards! If you’re in a rush and can’t wait for your pup to dry off, that’s no problem! As another “Extra” you can also find a bag of clean towels that are always fresh and ready for usage, inside the box of supplies! Dog treats located inside the supply bin are for everyone! Even if your pup doesn’t take a bath, feel free to give them a treat! Need a cool drink, snack or a quick meal? No problem! My SniffSpot is walking distance from an ice cream shop, Pelican’s Snowballs, Subway, Mexican, and other restaurants. Please note that there is a youth soccer field adjacent to my yard but there is green space between the soccer field and my yard. So there won’t be any interference. If you enjoy watching soccer, or even some occasional white noise, this is a bonus! *I have ducks that live in a coop far off to the side of my yard. They are very calm, quiet, docile animals and you’d hardly know they were there! Please keep in mind that the coop is made with chicken wire and cannot withstand a curious dog trying to get in* Psst! Your pup said they want to visit my SniffSpot! 😉 See you soon! 🐾
