55Wow! This is a beautiful spot! We met Monica and she is so friendly! The pond was perfect for our two dogs. The water lover couldn’t get enough-splashing around and swimming. The other one was content walking the edge and avoiding the deeper water. There is even comfortable seating around the pond and grounds for us humans. This spot is clean, spacious and aesthetically pleasing. Thank you Monica for sharing this with us and others!Laurie C.

55We used this spot today to introduce our dog to a new dog we may adopt, and it was a great location. Very peaceful and quiet, no distractions, easy to find, convenient parking, and the kiddie pool was a big hit with my dog. I appreciated having the water bowl and poop bags available too! We have booked again for a second meetup. Tiffany K.

55We had a great first visit to Monica’s Sniffspot today! The yard was clean, spacious, and perfect for our pup to explore and burn off some energy. Monica was welcoming and made everything easy from start to finish. Boone had a blast, and we’ll definitely be backEboni P.

55Cynthia is an amazing host! Great communication and the yard was beautiful and well kept. There was tons of space for shade, toys to play with, some fun trails through the taller grass (which my pups loved doing the zoomies through), and a kiddie pool to cool off in. We will definitely be back!Hannah S.

55Absolutely amazing spot! My dogs had the best time running free and swimming in the pond—it was pure joy watching them live their best lives. The land is spacious, peaceful, and perfect for letting pups burn off energy safely. Clean, well-maintained, and exactly what we were hoping for. We’ll definitely be back!

55This was my first time using Sniffspot. We all had the best time! My siste’ and her two dogs recently moved in with me. We generally have to keep them separated because they annoy each other. Unfortunately, I don’t have a fenced in yard where they can freely play outside. Today they finally got to run and play their hearts out. I could almost hear my lab laughing as he ran and played with the large soft toys that were provided. The little pool was also a hit. The three boys are pleasantly exhausted and are likely dreaming of their next visit to. Cynthia’s. We will be back!😁Cathy D.

55We had a lot of fun! The dogs loved the pond and they zoomed around the huge property. We met the owner and she was super sweet. There are toys, a stick library, poop bags, and water at the entrance for guests. It was easy to find and we will definitely book again! Francesca M.

55My older girl loves coming here. It’s becoming our favorite spot after saying hello to the ladies, the chicken ladies, and walking the property we saw a duck fly into the pond and fly away once it noticed we were there. We saw bumblebees covered in pollen on the hibiscus bush. And my sweet dog loves getting into the pond the Koi fish don’t even seem to mind her! It’s a peaceful, natural oasis. We did see a beagle next-door this visit, but the beagle didn’t even seem to care about us. Thank you again love your backyard!Becky S.

FAQ About Columbus 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.

All Sniffspot locations are vetted and reviewed by guests so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog. 6% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Columbus area are 5 stars.
