55I am in town visiting family with two dogs and no fenced yards, and unfortunately, my dogs don't do well with other pups. Discovered this service and found Valerie about 30 minutes away. They have a nice, spacious yard, lots of toys, water bowls, and everything you need from poo bags and treats, to sunscreen, bug spray and water for the owner! Thank you so much. I'll likely be back depending on the heat. 😉Heather D.

55My dog and I loved visiting Rachel’s! The yard was clean and spacious with plenty of places to sniff and play. It was easy to get in and out of the yard, and there were so many enrichment activities for Remi to play with. We will be back again soon!
If your dog is reactive like mine: you cannot see any dogs within the immediate or surrounding areas. You can, however, hear some dogs barking within the neighborhood. It isn’t loud, but if your dog is stressed by hearing other dogs I would come prepared with treats and a plan! My dog is reactive right now but she felt safe enough within the fence that the other dogs didn’t bother her.
Such a great place to visit!Monica F.

55Remi and I love coming to visit! My dog is a rescue and VERY timid/unsure around new sights and sounds. This spot is a safe way to expose her to new sounds (kids playing, cars, typical neighborhood sounds) and experiences (the pool, different toys, agility). The fence is secure with no gaps, and there’s plenty of room to run around and sniff. We will definitely be back!Monica F.

55This was my first time using Sniffspot & my two girls loved it! 🐶🐶 I live in an apartment with a 9 yr old Yorkie & a 4 month old Doberman pup. I don’t have a good place for my dogs to run but they need daily exercise (especially my Dobie) & I don’t personally like dog parks, so this was a wonderful option! Everything was clean & set up so nicely! Lots of fun “amenities” & extra things for the pups! Will definitely be using this spot on a regular basis!

55This was our first time using sniff spot. My girl Zoe enjoyed sniffing around. She is a rescue so she has to warm up to different places but that didn’t take long at all! She got some zoomies in and got to stretch her long legs! Cindy D.

55We stopped by on our way home from visiting my aunt. Our husky, Chakita, is 9 years old with cancer and we've been trying to take her to some spots when we can (it's been so hot). But this place was amazing and had everything we needed for her (and our human baby)! We used the provided tick spray before we walked around exploring. Chakita loved the Full Moon treats, we played with bubbles and the whole family got to swing. Then we were able to clean her up in the bathtub. We also love that it's dedicated to your furbaby that passed away. Thank you for helping spread some happiness and wonderful memories to other pets and their families. 😊❤️cy c.

55This place is AMAZING! Being the owner of a non-dog friendly dog, it’s so nice to be able to go somewhere private where she can run free . The amenities are wonderful , the different seating areas throughout the space is great!! Highly recommend taking your best furry friend for an adventure!! Kristen L.

55We had so much fun with our four pups here! They LOVED the pool and playing with the hose. The hammocks were such a nice touch to relax and listen to the birds while our dogs played in the mud. It was perfectly private & the separate driveway that is fenced in made it escape proof getting them out of the car. We will be back, what a wonderful way to honor little Captain!Lauren S.

55Still coming back for more running & playing with the family! Ace has been working on off leash/fence play so when we move he'll be used to his new fenced in backyard soon! We can't thank you enough and we'll try to come back again before we move! Somer Y.

FAQ about our Lexington 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. 98% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Lexington 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 123 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.
