55We had SUCH an awesome time!! We had four greyhounds and they had so much fun running freely. The fence is 100% secure, everything is spotless and super clean, and I can't love 4 Paws enough! Haha my dogs had so much fun, they're probably going to sleep for a week!Courtney F.

55This spot is incredible! HUGE space for dogs to run and play. Everything you would need is provided on site. Parking is right in front of the gate. There is also place to sit while your dog plays as well! Jennifer M.

55Lovely property, the whole area is securely fenced with plenty of toys, clean seating, and thoughtful extras like poop bags & treats! A bit muddy in some spots after recent rain but straw by the entrance keeps it mostly avoidable. The riverbed was too steep to let my dog play in comfortably unfortunately though maybe I was just not at the right spot in the stream? Neighbor dogs barked for about the first 15 minutes but quieted down after a bit so weren't a problem. A rooster was also audible but my girl Marnie is unphased lol. Lots of open room for my sighthound to run and chase her frisbee. 💛Haleigh C.

55Amazing property! The whole area is securely fenced. Mix of woods and grassy area. My dog had a blast and this was the perfect ending to our 4 day vacation in NC and a perfect way to split up our drive home. Thank you for sharing your property with us and thanks for all the details in the listing. We did see and hear the neighbor dogs when we arrived -the fences do not touch and my reactive dog wasn’t bothered by them at all. We heard the rooster as well but couldn’t see it and this also didn’t faze my dog at all. The spot was very easy to get to and it was very obvious where to park and enter which is super helpful. The whole area was also very clean. Tons of toys are at the front and so was a garbage pail to dispose of dog waste which was super helpful as we had a bit of a drive home. Thank you so much. We haven’t had a ton of opportunities to have our dog off leash (outside of our own property) so this was a real treat!Christa V.

55Wonderful! One of the owners of the property actually helped me wrangle in my dog who escaped the fence and while I was taking my other dogs out to the car after the hour was over. He was so nice that he drove around and actually gave me a leash once I had caught my dog! Literally the nicest people ever! 💛Ali B.

55So thankful to have been able to book this backyard for my pup & her friend to celebrate her birthday! She had a great time especially with the trampoline & creek! The creek was great as the afternoon got a bit warm for her and she was able to jump in and cool off! The owners left plenty of water for the dogs to drink and to use to cool them off as they ran. Will definitely be back. Thank you!Diana B.

55WOW!! What a great piece of property. We had so much fun. Our dog is 11 but she enjoyed the creek, large grass and tree lined shaded area which was great for exploring and walking. Our dog didn’t want to leave. We were there for 2 hours and she enjoyed every minute. We will be back!!
Allison,the owner, was extremely responsive which made our visit even better. The description from Allison’s post was spot on. We couldn’t have ask for a better place to enjoy a Sunday afternoon with our pup!!Nasera K.

55Loved that this was quite large and fully fenced. Lots of wooded area that is easy to walk through even with a few hills, and a large grassy open area, rather wet today after all the rains, but will be very nice later in the summer. I was well prepared wearing my hiking boots and a couple of towels to dry off my Gracie. There were towels provided but I already had mine. Nice to see extra leashes, towels, water and bowls, and chairs. The area was neat and clean. Easy parking and entry access. We will certainly return occasionally as it’s a rather long drive but still worth it. We had a wonderful time. Linda H.

FAQ about our Hildebran 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. 96% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Hildebran area are 5 stars.
How do I know if a dog park works for my dog?
You can filter Sniffspot dog parks by fencing and distractions. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our 131 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 21 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.
