    Such wonderful and thoughtful hosts with great communication. Koa has loved returning to this spot many many times and it is a beautiful open space to explore and run!

  • Kathryn S., Mar 13, 2023

    As usual, a great time for my dogs and me. This is the most spacious place I have visited in Norfolk, and it gives my dogs and me a good workout. Thank you, Anne!

    This was our first time using Sniffspot and our girls absolutely loved this place! The yard is well fenced, clean and they provided poop bags, water and toys for the girls to use. They Went crazy the first 30 minutes exploring , sprinting and playing tag with one another. This was fun for us and the dogs and we can’t wait to come back in the future!

  • Emily H., Feb 28, 2023

    This spot was awesome and it was our first time ever using Sniff Spot. Our 2 dogs didn’t know what to do with all that space and they absolutely loved it! If you have a barker like we do, the neighbors do have dogs that they let out during our visit but the privacy fence was perfect and it was a good chance for us to work on recall while all the barking and excitement was happening. Absolutely recommend this spot for anyone who has pups that need to run that energy out but don’t quite have the manners for a dog park.

  • Christopher K., Feb 18, 2023

    Spot was very nice, clean and had a whole lot of balls for the doggies to play with. I’ve never seen my dog run so much and so fast as she was here. My dog doesn’t get to run since she is a runner and having a nice spot for her to run with a fenced yard was so nice. Will be returning again

  • Chelsea W., Feb 18, 2023

    We love this yard! So much room for our large pit mix to run. Toys and fresh water were provided. We will be back!

    Host replied: We are so happy to hear you had a wonderful time! Happy to have you return anytime

    The spot was clean, secure, and stocked with PLENTY of Chuck-It balls! The pups had a blast! The only downside is that it was SUPER noisy— but I am not going to take stars away from the host for something that is out of their control. The neighbor dogs, specifically, were bounding along the fence line barking nonstop for the first fifteen minutes or so. Luckily, the dogs I had with me did not care too much about the neighbor’s dogs and, for the most part, ignored them. If you have a highly reactive dog, however, you may struggle a bit more if the neighbor lets their dogs out. Eventually the neighbor came out and got the dogs, but it was VERY noisy for those first fifteen minutes (and a tree was being cut down a few houses down, as well, which added to the clamor). Again— the host has no control over these things, so I am not displeased with them or the yard itself! Overall, we had a positive experience. It’s hard to find a yard that big in Norfolk. Big thanks to the host for providing a secure, clean spot for Norfolk pups!

    Host replied: We really appreciate your honesty in this review, and are so sorry if the dogs next door caused any further anxiety towards your pup. Of course, living in the suburbs you just can’t control what happens around you and I appreciate that acknowledgement. We definitely hope to have you return and hope that it is a more quiet, peaceful experience for you.

  • Jori B., Feb 13, 2023

    This was a great experience! It was our first Sniff Spot and it did not disappoint! I am very picky about cleanliness because my pups are not quite 2 yet and still like to explore with their mouths quite a bit. The yard was totally clean and they had a great time running around! There were balls and a chuck it available (among other amenities) and it was easy to get in and out. We will definitely be visiting again!

    Great big yard! Our Dogs could zoom to their Hearts delight!
