Playful Paws Backyard Fun

Fully Fenced
0.11 acres

Hi, I’m Anna 👋 My rescue pup Luca and I are lucky to have a fully fenced backyard and would love to share it with you. You’re welcome to book solo playtime for your pup, and if your dog would enjoy a buddy, we offer play time with Luca! He LOVES new friends! We’re excited to host you! 💛 I’ve been a dog sitter for over 10 years and about 3 years ago discovered Luca is the bestest lil temporary brother ... so, now we dog sit together! He’s wonderful with other dogs and loves to share his toys, zoomies, and all the good sniffs. We do have neighbors who have a pup, so you may hear him on the other side of the fence. The gate is on the left side of the house, and will be unlocked. Give it a good push, to open. Shut it tight behind you, the lock sometimes sticks. There is a green pooper scooper next to the trash bin, and poop bags on the silver stand on the porch. Check the extras for fun add ons! If there is anything else you need, let us know. Enjoy!

Your Complete Guide to Dog Parks in Columbus

 

Trying to exercise your dog at Godown Park on a rainy spring day? Or dealing with the mud pit that Wheeler Park becomes every March? Columbus dog owners know the struggle. The weather's unpredictable, the off-leash dog parks get swampy, and finding a clean, safe space that isn't packed with Ohio State students and their dogs can feel like winning the lottery.

 

Columbus has its share of public off-leash areas like Godown Park, Wheeler Park, and the Antrim Park dog section, but here's the reality: they're crowded, muddy half the year, and covered in codes and signs about vaccination requirements, collars and tags, and current tag information. That's why so many Columbus dog owners are switching to private Sniffspot yards in German Village, Clintonville, Short North, and beyond. Fully fenced spaces where your dog won't track mud into your car. No dog bite scares, no aggressive dogs, just secure space you can count on.

 

Why Columbus Dog Owners Love Private Dog Parks

 

Public off-leash dog parks sound great until you're standing in one. Dog's still figuring out recall? Fenced yards mean they can't take off after squirrels into Schiller Park. It's 40 degrees and pouring rain? You want shelter and solid ground, not standing in a soggy field. Got a dog who doesn't do well with large dogs or gets overwhelmed easily? Private bookings solve that instantly.

 

Columbus Sniffspot hosts offer what public parks can't. Covered areas for Ohio's constant rain, agility equipment for high-energy breeds, clean spaces with water fountains that actually work. You're not gambling on whether other dogs are spayed or neutered or worrying about communicable diseases. Training with food or treats? Go ahead without some random dog rushing over.

 

What Your Columbus Dog Actually Needs

 

Columbus dogs need actual fully fenced yards, not parks with sketchy gate latches. They need spaces that drain properly because Ohio weather is relentless. They need water fountains during humid summers. They need regular dog defecation cleanup because nobody should have to navigate that obstacle course. Basically, they need spaces designed for dogs, not just empty lots with a fence around them.

 

Where to Find Dog Parks in Columbus

 

With over 340 Sniffspots in the Columbus area, there's something in basically every neighborhood. German Village, Clintonville, Short North, Grandview Heights, Upper Arlington, Bexley, Worthington, Dublin, Hilliard, Grove City, Westerville. South Side and Brewery District? Covered. Even New Albany and Powell if you're in the suburbs.


Filter by what actually matters: fully fenced dog fields, agility parks, small dog areas, covered spaces for weather protection.

 

Pro Tips for Columbus Dog Park Visits

 

Check the forecast before booking because Ohio will absolutely rain on your plans. Bring poop bags for dog defecation cleanup, a towel (mud season is real), and water even though most hosts have water fountains. Spring and fall bookings are perfect, but grab covered spots for summer humidity and winter cold snaps. Food or treats for training? Pack them.

 

What makes Sniffspot different: your reservation is private. No surprise off-leash dogs. No "can our dogs play?" conversations when yours clearly isn't interested. No muddy chaos. Just dependable space where your dog can run around without the usual Columbus dog park headaches. Browse the hundreds of private options above and book your spot.

55Very nice back yard! Host was very responsive and even checked in after we left a little early (mostly due to weather, but also a nice and tired pup) to make sure our experience was up to expectations. There are a few friendly neighbor pups outside of fenced in area, so was happy to give my boy some nice exposure. We’ll be back!

55This was our first Sniffspot visit, and Monica (and her super kind husband) have set the bar high for us. It’s a beautiful place with lots of room to run and explore…and kept my wild 16 mo old Malinois busy. He loved playing in the small pond, jumping over the creek, and saying hello to the chickens who were well contained and certainly used to pups. Highly recommend!

55We had SO much fun at this Sniffspot! Our two dogs enjoyed running and sniffing around the yard and garden (which is gorgeous). The agility equipment was fun to try, we even got our dogs to try the jumps and tunnel! The neighbor had their dogs outside, who did bark a bit. Our dogs usually would bark back, but they were having so much fun, they were easily distracted and forgot they were there. I loved the chance to run the pups and practice some training with them. We are definitely adding this yard to our Sniffspot rotation!

55Such a lovely space! The yard was large and very securely fenced with plenty of shady patches and really thoughtful items left out. Parking was also so convenient and the private entry was a huge plus!

55First time with SniffSpot, and I don’t see how it can get any better than this! The hour of playtime was just what Panini needed! We loved the large yard and all of the amenities; it was his first time playing with a Frisbee and he enjoyed it very much!

55My puppy and I both loved this spot! Such a beautiful yard! My boy has never done any agility and he was very proud of himself for making it over three jumps and through the hoop on his second try! We will definitely be back!

55This was the absolute best spot we have been to! My furbabies had so much fun they fell asleep as soon as we got in the car. There is so much room for them to run (iv never seen my girl run so fast)! The backyard is nice and spacious and is completely fenced in with no openings the dogs could get through (my girl is an escape artist so if she couldn’t find a way out it’s good lol) we will definitely be going back.
