55We had a wonderful experience at this sniffspot! Alex, our host provided multiple refreshments both for us and our pups! There were also soft treats available and a cozy, shaded sitting area.
55Lovely place to sniff! My pointer mix “treed” a skink in a peach tree. My other two got their zoomies out. Enjoyed the patio and shade as well. Thank you!
55My dogs had a wonderful time here! This spot is beautiful, with lovely trees, lots of shade and so many thoughtful touches. The host provides cold water, toys, a chuck-it, poop bags/disposal bin, and a lovely covered sitting area. It was a great way to kick off a Saturday and we hope to return.
55Alex's yard is awesome. So much room for my dog to run and play. He even learned how to catch his frisbee. We will definitely be back.
55This was a great place to visit! I loved the set up and the space and the quiet time! Of course its outside so bugs and bees were annoying but everything else great!
55we had a great time here - we had car issues and the host was flexible, kind and supportive. highly recommend. we will return.
55Phenomenal space. Love all the trees, and the sitting area is 10/10. Highly recommended!
55Nice spot for the dogs to run and sniff! They enjoyed chasing rabbits on the other side of the fence. Really appreciated the big water bowls. A big perk for me was the seating and large fan in the shade. :-)
55The pups loved the open area with fruit trees as shade when needed. I was grateful for the covered patio. We will be back!
55A great little spot! Brought my reactive client pup and it was a perfect, quiet spot for her to enjoy some off-leash time. Host provided clear instructions and plenty of amenities for pups.

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!

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.

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! 🐾
