55I’m so glad I booked Jennifer’s backyard! My two dogs had a blast during our hour stay. It took them a while to warm up to the water, but once they got comfortable in it they refused to leave. Seeing them happy and having fun made this all worth it. I’m already thinking about when I should book again!Aislinn C.

55Very easy to find, yard is well manicured & clean. Pool was private & my puppy had a blast. One end is shallow to walk in. 1 hour was just enough for good workout! overcast day, even better.Karen A.

55Both my dogs loved this puppy paradise. I have two jack russels and they are beat. It’s such a fun pool with a shallow area and there’s also a seating area in the deep end. It was perfect. Lauren P.

55Very nice space for Joey to play and run. We booked an hour but it was very hot and humid, even at 10am so Joey got tired pretty quickly. They had plenty of cold water for him. And toys!
We will be going back, but not till the weather drops another 10 degrees.Andrea S.

55We had a fantastic time! This was our first SniffSpot and we will be doing more. The yard was large, clean, and well kept. Was very fun for my pups to run around.
There was a small gap in the fencing where my small dog could have gotten though but for us was no biggie to just keep an eye on her and block when needed. Just in case for people who have escape artists.
Thanks! Will be back. Sarah S.

55My reactive pittie had an absolute blast here! There was a lot of space for him to run & play & sniff. With the different plants he had a bunch of different things to smell as well, which I could tell he enjoyed. We did hear a small dog barking at one point, so that’s something to be aware of if your dog reacts to hearing other pups. Absolutely loved the vinyl fence as well since my dog has pretty bad barrier reactivity, but it’s not completely flush with the ground so just keep an eye out for that if you have small dogs or if playing fetch. I did throw a ball under the fence at one point but it was easy to retrieve. Besides that, we enjoyed every minute & would come back!Kylie S.

55Had a great visit! Easy access to the spacious back yard. They had water and toys left out for us. My dogs loved running around and the tall fence made for no outside distractions. We can't wait to visit again! 🐾Hannah T.

FAQ about our St. Petersburg 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 St. Petersburg?
There are 126 small dog parks in the St. Petersburg 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.
