55Valarie's Sniffspot was perfect for my 3-pups exercise needs. It is a very big back yard with different surfaces (grass, pavement etc) which my dogs love. There are toys, poo bags and watering stations. There is shade and plenty of sunny areas too. We will return to Valarie's Sniffspot. 😀Ruth G.

55This was a great spot to visit, and our three dogs had a great time sniffing, playing, exploring, and chasing squirrels. The yard was secure, spacious, and clean. Valarie was a great communicator and provided a sweet note, dog toys, water, snacks, and more. Definitely recommend!Emily D.

55Clean well fenced and perfect for my 2 seniors to get a change of scenery. I dont trust dogparks since both of my dogs are older and really have no interest in puppy shenanigans.......Added bonus (for me anyways) less than 2 miles from my house. Chloe K.

55This was a wonderful spot, my dogs thoroughly enjoyed the full half hour. The host has a pristine and charming yard, thoughtfully including fresh water, dog toys, seating outside as well as access to the screened lanai (with snacks a goodies available). The dogs both explored happily, and my younger one enjoyed fetch with some of the toys. We will definitely return.Elinor B.

55Valarie’s backyard isn’t huge, but plenty adequate to let my labradoodle run off some steam. She supplied all sorts of toys and water for the dogs, as well as treats. There were treats and water for people as well. The fence was secure and there was nothing the dogs could get in to..as hard as my dog tried. Also a little indoor patio to get out of sun.
Thanks Valarie for sharing your yard!!Linda G.

55We absolutely loved visiting Valarie’s! We have two anxious rescue dogs who love to run, sniff, and play but a dog park is too unpredictable and overwhelming.
Valarie’s was perfect! Our dogs loved her toys, treats, and everything about the yard, especially a bit of bird watching!
I loved how homey the yard felt! Comfy seating, shade, and a table! I’d love to bring the pups and use the wifi and get some work done! Jessica D.

55This spot is absolutely amazing, I wish I could give it a million stars! Very secure, clean, relaxing set up to sit if you want, toys/balls to throw for the pups, refreshments if you need - Valarie has it all! I was able to meet Valarie (prearranged, she didn’t drop in unexpectedly) - she’s amazing, my (usually reactive) girls loved her, and I highly recommend reaching out to her if you’re looking for other pup services like dog walking, day care or sitting. I can’t say enough good things about how amazing this experience was, you and your pups will love it!Kylie S.

55Jessica was very accommodating and helpful throughout our visit. This was our first Sniffspot experience and we really enjoyed it. The yard was completely fenced in and she had water out for us upon our arrival. Our dog loved running around and chasing her tennis ball into the soccer nets. We will definitely book this spot again in the future! 🐶Hannah T.

55ADORABLE LIL PARK ! This is our first time here and immediately just fell in love. I would say this is a perfect size for from an XS to medium size dog. It is clean, has a paw shape mini pool, turf is clean, lots of ball with many different sizes, you could see birds maybe some squirrels. Since the map/gps would take you to the front of the house, to get to the entrance, you kinda have to drive around, but it is not far so not a big deal, instructions pretty clear you wouldn’t miss it. We love it very much!Eka R.

FAQ about our St. 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. With Sniffspot all bookings are private for just you and dogs you bring with you and we require all dogs to be vaccinated (or have equivalent titers). All Sniffspot locations are vetted and reviewed by guests so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog. 97% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the St. Petersburg area are 5 stars.
How do I know if a dog park works for my dog?
You can filter Sniffspot dog parks by fencing and distractions. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our 196 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 25 off leash areas where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can also filter locations to avoid other domestic animals and people. We also recommend reading reviews and reaching out to the host with any questions.
