55We are so thankful for Bear & Kobe’s backyard! It was exactly as described: (very!!) expansive, clean, a few toys were laid out for our use, it was just perfect. We were very grateful to have a safe space for Rue to play off leash & to work a bit on training. Morgan L.

55My dogs absolutely loooooved Kristen’s space. The yard is much larger than expected and there’s so much room for them to run around and play. The space is clean, well-cut and Kristen provided everything we could need and more. The splash pad was also a cute addition, my dogs did not care for the water but it was great that I had the opportunity to try. Kristen provided clear instructions and the yard was very easy to access.
5 Stars, will definitely be booking again.Allishia S.

55Fantastic spot for our dogs to have their freedom to run free in this large yard! Completely safe fence and grounds. Loved that fresh water was set out for us as well as a basket stocked with doggie bags and training treats. Loved the splash pool and helped with cooling one of our dogs down. Angela F.

55Booking was easy and several times available. Yard was super clean and mowed. Water bowls were available and water hose easy access. I have three dogs. One is easy going. One is reactive. And one is very old. All three enjoyed a run around the yard exploring and sniffing. It was a great break for them from the hotel room. Highly recommend!Nicole S.

55I’m a professional dog trainer and today I brought my personal service dog and a puppy that I’m boarding to try this SniffSpot out. We LOVED it! It’s a lovely, clean, huge space completely fenced with a privacy fence. I forgot my chuck it stick and balls but they had a basket full of toys to include a chuck it stick with plenty of balls. They also had water bowls and water which is always a plus! My golden and the lab puppy I’m boarding had a blast! This will be a repeat spot for us for sure!Emma R.

FAQ about our Virginia Beach small dog parks
Are small 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 are 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 park users so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits are 5 stars.
How can I find small dog parks in Virginia Beach?
There are 90 small dog parks in the Virginia Beach area. The most popular small dog park is . You can browse all of our small dog parks here.
How do I know if a small dog park works for my dog?
Start by applying basic filters, such as fencing and distractions, to find a dog park that works for your furry friends. If your dog doesn't respond to owner commands, you can visit one of our enclosed dog park areas. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our small dog park sites where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can see any park amenities provided, including a park bench, water for dogs or water features such as kiddie pool or water hose. If your dog loves water, you can go to a park with water features, but if they don't love water, you can avoid them. We also recommend reading reviews to check for park maintenance issues and reaching out to the host with any questions. And lastly, of course, check park hours. Many of our parks are open from dawn until dusk.
What are the requirements to bring my dog to a Sniffspot park?
We require that all dogs have basic vaccinations or equivalent titers. We do not allow dogs with a bite history. We require that owners sign our waiver and agree to follow our safety rules. We also require that pet owners follow safety protocols around water features.
Will there be other dogs at the Sniffspot park at the same time as me?
Sniffspot only allows one booking at a time and any host dogs are required to be kept away from the spot during visits. We also enforce 30 min time buffers between bookings.
If you are planning an amazing small dog park party, each Sniffspot park has their own rules regarding special events. Many parks allow doggie birthday parties, training, water parties and other event types. Event organizers need to be responsible for their guests and event organizers should coordinate with the host regarding their fun party. Make sure the park has amenities you need for your party, such as a park with lots of picnic tables with park benches.
