55Today was my first Sniffspot. This place is great! It has air if you are hot (as soon as you walk into the garage is an inside play area with air conditioning) and it has a bunch of stuff outside to do also. The owner is top notch and responds very quickly. I have a reactive dog with the worst anxiety so today did not go as I hoped it would because of the dogs next door continuing to bark. It made my dog so scared he end up with a belly ache, so we left after only a half hour vs my 2 hour window I booked. I did 2 hours because my dog has to smell every inch of every location we are at. So I wanted to make sure he got all his sniffs in and got to play. But that didn’t happen. He did run for maybe a total of 5 minutes if that but the dogs next door just had Coal all the way stressed. The host was absolutely amazing about refunding the money since our experience was all but short of a disaster (especially when leaving, the dogs next door were all just barking at the fence and then my dog started in at them causing me to drop my phone and crack it trying to get Coal to the car fast, then he was having accidents in the car from his nerves). But this place is great for normal dogs that don’t have anxiety. It’s a kings island to a dog. The host even offered to talk to the neighbors doggie parents if I wanted to give it a go again, but she’s right.. it isn’t fair to the neighbors to have to put all the dogs in the house for dogs with anxiety that comes over. I just pray I can find another place JUST LIKE THIS ONE… only farther out away from neighbors with dogs. Thank you for all you did to accommodate coal and I before we showed up and even after. I wish there were more people like you in the world that’s so loving and compassionate about animals..and people.. the world would be a much better place. God bless you and your family DeAnna S.

55Robyn’s Sniffspot is an oasis. She is dedicated to continually updating her spot to enhance it for dogs and owners. This Sniffspot has both an indoor and outdoor area - which was PERFECT for our visit because it started raining! Her outside area is full of obstacle courses, dog beds, and more. There is so much out there for your dogs to sniff, climb over, and investigate. She also has a little bistro patio set when us owners want to sit and watch out dogs have the time of their lives. For her inside area… I truly think this is what doggy heaven looks like here on Earth. She has more toys than you can imagine, water bowls with a water dispenser, treats galore, cooling mats, and she now offers frozen treats for your pup for a small additional cost. Of course I had to get a frozen pumpkin and banana cup for Gigi. This time at Robyn’s Sniffspot, we spent the majority of time in her inside portion of her Sniffspot. Gigi was delightfully overwhelmed with all the toys available to her. We played tug of war, she played with a handful of toys, and we played fetch. There is SO much to do and SO much offered by Robyn in her Sniffspot. Next time I come (because there will definitely be a next time), I need to book more time as Gigi needed some time to recoup after every activity! Gigi and I were there for an hour this visit, and Gigi was NOT ready to leave after our time was up. Robyn’s Sniffspot is a testament to her love for dogs and her commitment to providing a haven for the Indianapolis community. As a dog parent who lives in a downtown Indy apartment with no yard, Robyn’s Sniffspot has been a blessing and a great resource to take my dog to live out her best life. This Sniffspot and Robyn ROCK! Annabelle A.

55One of the best spots around for off-leash fun! Endless smells to sniff and lots of interactive toys for confidence building. No other dogs directly touch the fence once in the spot, so it is perfect for training in a safe environment, and the inside spot is great to decompress if needed. My nervous and reactive boy does so well here!haley & mason w.

55I booked this for my dog Emmett, he was recently diagnosed with cancer so we’ve been trying to “live like we’re dying”. Emmett and his two friends had the best time! So many fun activities, toys, and treats for the dogs. Everything was clean & organized. The host, Robyn, let Emmett take a toy and a pup cup home with him🥹 we so appreciate the time and effort Robyn put into making our day special. Thank you for a great day & happy memory with my boy!

55This sniff spot is perfect! Either yard is a great size and the fence is sure to keep any dog in. We could hear one of the dogs inside barking right when we showed up, but you can’t see the dog and the barking subsides pretty quickly so it was no problem at all for my reactive pup. I would highly recommend this sniff spot! Alison H.

FAQ about our Indianapolis small dog parks
Are small 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 are 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 park users so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits are 5 stars.
How can I find small dog parks in Indianapolis?
There are 116 small dog parks in the Indianapolis area. The most popular small dog park is . You can browse all of our small dog parks here.
How do I know if a small dog park works for my dog?
Start by applying basic filters, such as fencing and distractions, to find a dog park that works for your furry friends. If your dog doesn't respond to owner commands, you can visit one of our enclosed dog park areas. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our small dog park sites where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can see any park amenities provided, including a park bench, water for dogs or water features such as kiddie pool or water hose. If your dog loves water, you can go to a park with water features, but if they don't love water, you can avoid them. We also recommend reading reviews to check for park maintenance issues and reaching out to the host with any questions. And lastly, of course, check park hours. Many of our parks are open from dawn until dusk.
What are the requirements to bring my dog to a Sniffspot park?
We require that all dogs have basic vaccinations or equivalent titers. We do not allow dogs with a bite history. We require that owners sign our waiver and agree to follow our safety rules. We also require that pet owners follow safety protocols around water features.
Will there be other dogs at the Sniffspot park at the same time as me?
Sniffspot only allows one booking at a time and any host dogs are required to be kept away from the spot during visits. We also enforce 30 min time buffers between bookings.
If you are planning an amazing small dog park party, each Sniffspot park has their own rules regarding special events. Many parks allow doggie birthday parties, training, water parties and other event types. Event organizers need to be responsible for their guests and event organizers should coordinate with the host regarding their fun party. Make sure the park has amenities you need for your party, such as a park with lots of picnic tables with park benches.
