55This 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!Jori B.

55The 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! Sarah C.

55Spot 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 againChristopher K.

55This 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. Emily H.

55This 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! Jordan S.

55We loved coming here! It’s perfect for my 3 dogs who need the space to run long distances. I love the big privacy fence around the entire yard. The huge roll of dog poop bags next to the waste bin is so handy, but our favorite part was the big basket of chuck it balls accompanied by a chuck it stick! I brought my own chuck it and one ball, but I used a bunch of the balls provided too because 2 of my retrievers love to play fetch! Definitely one of our new favorite spots!!Emma R.

55STOP right here and DON'T miss out on this Sniffspot!!!!! Okay, so I always have written great reviews for Sniffspots I've been to; they have all served the purpose of giving my dogs free time and all have been nicely kept. But, this spot by far has been our most favorite!!! Don't let the location being in a typical suburban neighborhood fool you, because this yard was HUGE!!! We felt safe in the neighborhood driving through, and everything was well upkept. There was a nice porch with chairs to relax in that was covered to keep away from the rain. A couple of bowls already filled with water were laid out, and a box full, literally full of balls and a whippet to play with. It was calm and peaceful. Even though the owner said they were watching a couple dogs inside, we literally didn't hear a peep from them! The owner even reached out prior and offered to cancel the reservation as it had started raining which was so thoughtful. It's kind of a catch 22 coming here because I think I will always compare future Sniffspots to this place after we move.... Or keep dreaming of having my own home with this kind of yard! Anyways, thank you SO much for your hospitality. You will make many future doggos so happy!!Chelsea M.

55This spot is large and secure. There is plenty of room to park and wide open space for the pups to run. The host is responsive and asked questions about the dogs to accommodate us on our visit. She put a hose/sprinkler out for us. Unfortunately, it was a little too hot for us to enjoy ourselves as much as we could have, but we’ll return soon.Denise F.

FAQ about our Poquoson 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.
