55Great spot. Easy to find and access. Lots of room to run around and sniff. Host left out water (thank you!) and toys. We had to cut visit short because of some nearby construction noise. No fault of the host - my dog is super noise phobic especially right after fireworks season. Before she got scared she was having the most fun!Kristie R.

55Amazing sniff spot!! We are super picky where we take our dogs, the fence is great and tall, the backyard is also very well maintained. The porch with the fans and shade is great for the warm weather. The hosts provided water and were super nice. 100% recommend. Our two golden boys loved it! Sarah H.

55I have two dogs and they really enjoyed the yard. One of my dogs loved the pool and hopped around like I've never seen her do. My other dog, husky sheperd mix, loved all the accommodations but kept trying to escape so she doesn't count, lol. ashley m.

55This was the perfect space for our energetic reactive dogs! The privacy fence kept them from getting distracted, and it kept our runner from getting out. They had plenty of room to chase and play, and they loved the kiddie pool. Towels were provided with the kiddie pool which was amazing because we always forget to bring our own. We will definitely book here again. Devan C.

55Our dogs LOVE this spot. It’s huge so they get to run so fast. There’s so much to sniff. This time we used the kiddie pool since it was hot out and it was so fun.
The fencing is very secure and Austin has been working on the drainage in the yard so that certain spots don’t get muddy.
Wonderful hosts and always a great time!Mariam B.

55Second time we have visited this wonderful location! By far this is the BEST sniffspot in the Raleigh area. We highly recommend, as does our dog. Very secure fencing, lovely yard and lots of space, plus water bowls available (and usually filled upon entering) as well as water for the parents! Austin is very communicative and welcoming.

55Austin’s yard is amazing and he creates a wonderful experience for his visitors! The space is beautiful and well maintained. Plenty of space for our Boxer boy to explore and chase balls. There is a nice mixture of sun and shade so everyone can relax. Austin was also very responsive to my communications, and goes above and beyond in providing for his visitors with water bottles, hand sanitizer and even poop bags if you’ve forgotten them. I highly recommend this sniff spot! Teresa B.

55Austin was a wonderful host!!! My pups had incredible time running all over the EXTREMELY spacious yard/property. The added extras (toys, water bowls, etc) were such a nice touch. I will definitely be back and I’ll highly recommend it to all of my other “dog friends”! Wendy S.

55Thr backyard was great! So much room for our boys to run around at full speed with no chance of hopping over the fence or escaping. Austin was so kind to leave out bottles of water, hand-sanitizer, etc for us and he put out a few bowls of fresh water for the dogs. Really nice and comfy deck with plenty of seating options including loungers. Easy access to the backyard. Very private location. Will definitely be back and look forward to using the dog-kiddie pool in the summer!Sandy G.

55The perfect location for my reactive dog’s birthday celebration! I really appreciated the hosts thoughtfulness by including a happy birthday hat for my pup while he played. The location is fully fenced & although you can occasionally see neighbors walking by with their pups while standing on the porch it didn’t cause any issues for my dog since the fence itself is not see through. The yard itself was very well maintained & toys were scattered allowing my dog to stay entertained. The fire pit upgrade was amazing as it was a bit more chilly during my visit. 10/10 recommend & will be returning. Kathleen M.

55Our experience was great and loved having a small jar of treats, toys, and waste bags at the ready. The space is more than enough to play in for our German shepherd mix. The entrance is easy to find and get in/out of and instruction/rules clear. We will be coming back for sure!Kevin M.

55This place was great! It was in a very peaceful and quiet neighborhood which was perfect for my dogs because they can be anxious sometimes. The yard was huge and they had so much space to run around. There were also balls for them to play with. My favorite was the hot chocolate that was provided. I will definitely be back!Kylie E.

FAQ About Willow Spring 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. 10% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Willow Spring area are 5 stars.

You can filter Sniffspot dog parks by fencing and distractions. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our 335 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 546 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.
