55Our guys had a great time at Alyssa’s. The yard was secure and clean. She had a nice selection of toys and a few places for us to sit, which was great for our kids, who came along. She also had bottled water for us and a bowl of fresh water ready for the dogs. Our guys are really energetic and her yard was perfect for their high energy. We were able to back in to the side gate, which helped us get them in and out more easily on leash. And, Alyssa was great at communicating before, during, and after our visit. Add all this to the super convenient location and we will definitely book again!Kaitlin C.

55We had such a great visit and will totally come back. The yard is so spacious & lovely. It was perfect for Zemo to get his zoomies out and really nice for us to get out of the city.
Alyssa had toys & a kiddie pool outside for our dog so we could give him a bath. She even left out waters for the humans (so thoughtful!). Chelsea A.

55My dog and I had a wonderful time at Alyssa’s. He found a few favorites from the basket of toys left on the picnic table for us and of course he chose the noisy squeaky ones! Fresh water in a clean doggie bowl and a thoughtful bottle of water for me were very considerate. My boy got a little nervous and barky with unfamiliar noises at the end of our visit so I hope we didn’t disturb anyone. Thanks for sharing your spacious yard, Alyssa!Malai K.

55I absolutely love Alyssa’s spot and happy we got a membership with her! My reactive pup is always so happy to pull up her driveway for an hour of running around. This morning was particularly cold and she even had out a blanket and hot cocoa! It was so nice to have a host that goes the extra mile to ensure both human and pup feel right at home! Kaylynn H.

55Luna loved playing here! It’s nice and quiet. Toys, water and poop bags provided, as well as nice areas for seating. There is a small chain link section of fencing which shouldn’t be an issue for most dogs, at least not mine! I will be back :) Zoe L.

FAQ about our Sandston 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.
