55After visiting some other Sniffspot places on other doggie dates, Janice’s is still my favorite. I so appreciate that if I’m busy & I don’t have time to pack my own treats & toys, there is a fabulous selection of ones there, plus there is also plenty of fresh water. Really excellent communication too on coordinating visits. Highly recommend! Emily L.

55The yard is great. Just take note of the seven steps up to the front yard in case you are mobility challenged. You are parking on the street below. Otherwise my boys LOVED zooming around the open yard! Thank you! Phillip G.

55This is our first time ever going to a place like this. And let me say this exceeded my expectations!!! She has chairs out for the dog owners. Everything is so cute and organized. She had extra poop bags and treats and even some toys that you can use while being there. The back yard was pretty big and clean. My dogs enjoyed their stay and I will definitely be coming back. If you’re thinking about booking , DO IT! It’s worth it!!! Yana G.

55Site was nicely set up to accommodate pet and pet parent. Fresh water bowls and reserves. Lots of toys. Seating shaded and sun for both pet and pet parent. I was just visiting from out of town and this was a great play area for my dog to spread out. She definitely wore herself out. I would do it again in a heartbeat😊Swingline H.

55Janice always has new toys or other activities ready to go for her guests. Her yard is the perfect place to work on training off leash, or working on interacting with new things in a comfortable place. (My dog is terrified of water/grooming so the splash pad was the perfect way to build her confidence)Monica F.

FAQ about our Walnut Cove 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.
