55So my wife and I were the first to ever rent this place and I'm glad we did. This yard is so big. Plenty of room for both of our huskies to get full speed. They absolutely loved it. There was also a fire pit which we will be sure to use next time. The owner and his wife were super friendly. We will definitely be going back more often now. Highly highly recommend. Kyle S.

55This spot has a rural feel in the middle of a busy area. I made a last minute appointment and when I arrived I was greeted by the host who is very friendly. The yard was clean, fully fenced, and safe. The super long yard was perfect for fetch with the chuck-it. We will be back. Tamara S.

55Our Great Dane and Beagle had so much fun running and sniffing around the yard. It was clean, spacious, and quiet. We didn’t take advantage of the chairs that were available for us to use, but we appreciated that they were there. We hope to be back soon. Brandon H.

55Pros:
Fantastic visit! The yard was large and had a few interesting features that I personally found aesthetically pleasing. Seats and a burn pit for those cold days/nights. Lots of space for the 3 dogs and adult child to run and frolic.
Cons:
Poop minefield. Not a lot but it was there. You can definitely tell the space is clean but you may find the random massive pile of poo. Check paws before you hop back in the vehicle!
The four of us will definitely be back! Thanks for the hospitality.Antjuan Q.

55We booked a visit from 7-8pm, ran a little late and got there at 710. By 730 my dog was exhausted. The yard was huge, I don’t even think she ran the whole length. We brought our own water but there were water basins available. Hosts were kind and didn’t mind my nosy dog peering thru their windows. 10/10 would recommend Erin T.

55This was our first experience with sniff spot and it was GREAT! The neighborhood is quiet and dog friendly, parking was convenient and close. The yard was fully fenced and very safe! The space was perfect for our two to play fetch with the Chuck-it. Lisa was super friendly and had plenty of water for the dogs and seating for two. We will definitely return! Tamara S.

Roxanne's Private Dog Park In Newport News | Sniffspot
55Wonderful flat yard with a couple of dog toys and lots of room to run! Very safe with a nice high fence.
I'm a wheelchair user and I let her know ahead of time that I am and she made sure that the gate was open for us. It was very easy to get on the property and around the yard, which can be tricky with a lot of properties when you use a wheelchair. Roxanne was super sweet as well and we loved getting to meet her.
Me and my guys can't wait to come back!!Raina J.

55Easy to find home, easy access to the backyard and the renter is easily reachable and responds in a timely manner. I have a very high energy Pitt and she played with their zip line rope toy the ENTIRE time. Both dogs currently taking a nap :)Kaitlyn T.

FAQ about our Newport News 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. 97% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Newport News 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 126 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 11 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.
