Dana's Fully Fenced Yard For Dogs To Rent In Newport News

It's mostly a quiet little oasis here where you and your furry friends can relax, play ball or frisbee, or just run round and "do their business" without being on a leash or at a crowded dog park. Bring your own toys if you want more than a chuck- it ball. I provide the space with seats, shade and water for you, along with poop bags, and water for the pooches.

50 Acres Puppy Paradise - Train & Play

Unfenced
50 acres

Dec 1 2025 Update - Back Open! Oct 1 2025 Update - It’s hunting season, and we are closing October and November 2025 as a precaution. We don’t want a stray hunting dog to interfere with someone’s Sniffspot time. So we made the decision to close for 2 months. We’re sorry, it was a tough decision, but think it’s best. We promise - We’ll reopen in December 2025. Welcome to 50 acres of puppy heaven! Located off Crittenden Road in Suffolk, Virginia. Please take dirt lane, there is no house. Please do not disturb neighbors. Drive or Walk through the gate and the whole area is yours! There are walking trails in the woods, a pond to find and a river to explore. The open field is wonderful for training and or play. Your dog will love exploring this wonderful property. ***This is the country. The land is wonderful to explore but it is vacant and undeveloped. You will encounter nature, really in the spring and summer. There are ticks, snakes, uneven ground, rabbits, wet spots, etc. Please only book if you are used to the outdoors and being adventurous!*** Update from my guests comments: Wear bug spray when it’s warm, check for ticks after a visit, boots are recommended after rainy days, dogs may get muddy bring towels and look for the new mailbox to identify the dirt lane off the road. Enjoy!

CLOSING JULY 2026! Thank you for three WONDERFUL years of wags and wiggles! Note from the owners: Thank you all for thousands of happy tail wags over the last few years.

Currently, we are facing some unforeseen circumstances and hard decisions have had to be made. That said, for the indefinite future, Penny’s Place will be open during the morning hours of 5 am until 8 am HOWEVER we will also take direct message requests for a time that works better for you. We are happy to work with you so please message me directly for a specific request. We understand the difficulty this might pose for you and we apologize for any inconvenience this might cause.

Nearly one acre of fully fenced space where you can run, sunbathe, sniff the few trees, play with the hose and kiddie pool, whatever your pup’s heart desires!

Frequently asked questions about Smithfield small dog parks

Where can I find small dog parks in Smithfield?

Smithfield has 136 private small dog parks available through Sniffspot, offering appropriately-sized exercise in completely private settings. These locations range from compact spaces to properties spanning 50+ acres. Whether you need a space for your reactive dog, puppy socialization, senior dog gentle exercise, or high-energy play, Smithfield small dog parks provide safe, private environments. Filter for "fewer dogs seen/heard," specific amenities, or fencing types to find your perfect match.

How many small dog parks are in Smithfield?

Smithfield offers 136 small dog parks ranging from compact spaces to properties spanning acres. You'll find options such as fully fenced dog park, indoor dog park, dog agility park, and more. Each Smithfield small dog park listing shows detailed photos, amenities, fencing specs, and reviews from local dog owners.

Are Smithfield small dog parks good for all dog types?

Yes! Smithfield small dog parks work for every dog: puppies learning socialization, senior dogs needing gentle exercise, small dogs who feel safer without large breeds, high-energy dogs requiring space, and reactive or anxious dogs needing privacy. The completely private bookings mean each dog gets the environment they need. Browse Smithfield's 136 options to find spaces matching your dog's specific temperament and needs.

Will I encounter other dogs at Smithfield small dog parks?

Not a chance. Smithfield small dog parks operate on a strict one-booking-at-a-time system, so the space is entirely yours during your reserved slot. Host dogs are kept away, and there's a mandatory 30-minute buffer between bookings—meaning you won't cross paths with the previous or next guest. For Smithfield owners with reactive dogs, puppies, or any dog needing privacy, this makes all the difference in providing safe, stress-free exercise.

Are Smithfield small dog parks safe for fearful or anxious dogs?

Yes! Smithfield small dog parks provide controlled, predictable environments without the chaos of public dog parks. Since bookings are completely private with 30-minute buffers, anxious dogs can explore a space specifically sized and designed for small breeds under 25-30 pounds without overwhelming encounters. Many Smithfield dog owners specifically choose small dog parks for fearful dogs who need gentle, stress-free exercise environments.

Can puppies use Smithfield small dog parks?

Absolutely! Smithfield small dog parks are excellent for puppy socialization because they're private and controlled. Puppies can explore a space specifically sized and designed for small breeds under 25-30 pounds, practice recall, and build confidence without the overwhelming chaos that can create fear or reactivity in young dogs. Just ensure your puppy has age-appropriate vaccinations before visiting.

How do I choose the best small dog park in Smithfield?

Start by filtering Smithfield's 136 small dog parks for your specific needs: secure fencing for escape artists, "fewer dogs seen/heard" for reactive dogs, flat terrain for seniors, appropriate sizing for small dogs, or specific amenities for training. Look for "Top Spots" like Smithfield's Penny's Place: BY DIRECT REQUEST (closing 7/26) with excellent reviews.Read feedback from other Smithfield owners with similar dog types to find your perfect match.

What are Smithfield's small dog park requirements?

All dogs must have basic vaccinations or titers. Each Smithfield host may have additional rules on their listing. Most small dog parks welcome all breeds, sizes, and temperament levels, including reactive dogs who can't safely visit public dog parks. Adult supervision is required at all times.
