55This space and the host were phenomenal! Liberty and I loved it! Tons of space, a doggie pool, lots of toys, even towels to dry off! Everything was thought of! Highly recommend!
55This spot was absolutely amazing. My baby had so much fun. The owner honestly has everything you could need. Such an awesome location. Highly recommend.
55My dogs and I had a great time here! Very spacious and plenty of room to run and play. They especially loved the pool. Normally they get bothered by mosquitoes but I noticed they didn’t seem to be around which was nice. I wore bug spray just in case. Thanks, we’ll be back!
55ashley’s backyard was nice & clean & had ton of toy options! it was pretty hot & humid out when we brought our pups so they only lasted about 15 minutes, but they had a great time nonetheless! there was a pup inside who peeped his head up out the window when we got there & barked intermittently but my pups werent phased! we’ll be back on a cooler day :) thanks again!
45This was my first time to Ashley’s yard. It is a good space for a large dog to run. Bad thing was the neighbors dogs kept coming out and my reactive dog ran the fence the entire time. Also the yard wasn’t mowed and there are a lot of ant hills. There is shade and places to sit. She supply’s toys and water bowls and water. I usually bring my own bowl and water as to not get caught without water for the pooch. He enjoyed himself and never reacted to her dog that barked inside just the neighbors dogs.
55Our pups had a blast! There was a dog barking behind a fence, but nothing dramatic. It's nicely shaded by the trees, plenty of toys!
55Absolutely loved Ashley’s Sniffspot! The space was beautiful, clean, and perfect for letting the dogs run and explore safely. My pups had the best time, and we’ll definitely be back. Thank you for sharing such a wonderful spot! 🐶🐾
55Great spot with lots of fun toys and space to run around!
55The yard was very clean and there was a nice spot for pet owners to sit and relax as their pups play! I would be cautious if you have dogs that are reactive to other dogs as our dogs kept getting distracted by their neighbor's dogs. However, if your dogs don't mind hearing other dogs then it should be fine!
55Beautiful spot! The host was also very gracious— I got lost on the way there so was going to be 15 min late, and she let us stay an extra 15 min to make up that time. Will definitely return if we’re back in the area:)

Hey there! I'm Ashley, and I'm a huge animal lover. I strongly believe that all dogs should have a safe space where they can let loose and have a great time. That's why I've decided to open up my beautiful backyard to the community. It's my way of providing a haven for furry friends to enjoy themselves. So come join me and let's create unforgettable moments and make a positive impact on the lives of dogs in our community together!

Attention: we will be closed January 5th - 12th for construction of a privacy fence along the side with our neighbor with dogs. We hope this will minimize distractions and noise from them for our guests. Thank you for continuing to be the best group of guests we could ask for! Large fenced in backyard with trees, shrubs, a shaded area, and multiple seating options. Plenty of room to run around and play. We are for 2 hour advanced booking to allow us time to coordinate prepping the space and clean up if we are working outside. Please reach out to me if you have any questions.

Sophia's Fully Fenced 0.25 acre Yard For Dogs To Rent in the City

Fully Fenced
0.25 acres

Our yard is around .25 acres and fully fenced with a 6ft privacy fence. Only 5 minutes from downtown! We do have a deck (perfect for throwing that ball!) and a patio. We live on a cul-de-sac so parking can be a bit wonky but there are usually spaces available or you’re welcome to pull into our driveway if one of our cars is not there. ***please read*** There’s been a recent disturbance in the lot behind our yard, some developer is cutting down trees and possibly paving a road to a housing unit that has yet to be built. At the moment we’re not sure exactly what is happening but we are gathering more info and will hopefully have a timeline of how long this construction work will be. If your dog is afraid of loud machinery, you may want to reschedule your visit for a Sunday. As of now that seems to be the only day of the week they’re not working back there. We are very sad this is happening near our yard, as part of the reason we bought this house was the privacy we felt in our back yard. Please bare with us as we try to navigate this situation, we will post updates as we get them. We totally understand if you choose to cancel your visit!

Holly Hill Farm

Unfenced
180 acres

Welcome to Holly Hill Farm – a beautiful, expansive 180-acre working farm in Hanover County, Virginia, perfect for dogs who love to run, explore, and sniff to their heart’s content! This private property features a mix of wide-open fields (currently planted in soybeans), wooded areas with winding trails, and a peaceful pond. There’s plenty of room to roam safely along the edges of the fields and through the woods. Some trails cut through the forested sections for shaded walks and adventure. Important for your visit: • Please drive down to the last barn and park. • Please stay within the property boundaries — we’ve included clear photos in the listing showing fences, markers, and property lines to help you navigate easily. • Please pick up after yourself and your dog as there are no trash cans on site. • As a working farm, you may occasionally see or hear light farm activity (equipment, crops, etc.), but the chances are low during Sniffspot bookings. Your dog will have tons of space to enjoy the rural setting without interference. Rarely but occasionally we have some family at the property, they won’t interfere with Sniffspot guest This is a fantastic spot for dogs who enjoy open running space, exploring nature trails, cooling off near the pond, and experiencing a real Virginia farm atmosphere. Bring toys, balls, or just let them zoom — the acreage allows for serious zoomies! We look forward to hosting you and your pup at Holly Hill Farm. Book your time and let the off-leash fun begin! 🐾

Close to 1/2acre of mowed grass with a good mix of sunshine and shade, and plenty of dog smells to enjoy! Fully fenced with 4' picket fencing, 3 gates with latches. I do a poop scoop at least 2-3x weekly so I can't guarantee spotless perfection but I'll do my best to clean up before scheduled visits- please do the same:) There is ample seating for human guests and a table. Patio gets sun from midday to early evening, 2 umbrellas provide shade.
