55Pups loved it! They were able to walk on the trail off leash which is not something we can normally let them do. Host had some treats and an agility course, and a few extra things that I was not expecting. would recommend :)Kayton A.

55Had a great afternoon in Alyssas spacious back yard! She had a pool setup and plenty of toys for the boys to play with! Baloo and Morty absolutely love tennis balls and water so we had everything we needed for an afternoon in a shaded yard with a pool to keep cool. I 100% recommend coming by and enjoying what Alyssa has to offer with her yard. Patrick M.

55My dogs and I enjoyed our return visit to Alyssa’s yard this morning. It was quiet and shady. My dogs had fun running, sniffing, and playing with a ball. Owner has a pool, water bowl, balls and other toys, and bug spray for the humans. They had a long nap when we returned home. That’s when you know they had fun! Joy M.

55Can not say enough good things about this spot! The host is amazing. Super welcoming, had an array of toys, kiddie pool, and even put out water for me! Quiet neighborhood but next door neighbor does have a pup, it’s a pretty private fence so my boy did great even with hearing the pup on the other side. I will most definitely be back! Thank you for this spot for my pup!!Kaylynn H.

55As a local dog trainer I used Alyssa’s Sniff Spot as a play date location, and we had a wonderful time! Alyssa was so communicative, welcoming, generous, and kind. The spot had toys, a fun hose and kiddie pool, and plenty of room to play. The deck with baby gate was an added bonus, helping us to introduce the dogs easily. We can’t wait to return!Gabrielle J.

55This was a great place for my girl to spend her birthday. Alyssa was an awesome host and very thoughtful, there were water bottles, puppy bathing supplies readily available, toys, a can of "off" for humans but we didn't need it during our visit and plenty of yard room for our 1 year old to exercise her legs!!! The host is responsive and I'll definitely be using this sniffspot in the future. Natalie G.

FAQ about our Petersburg 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.
