55The back yard was ‘paradise’ for my dogs…completely fenced and shaded…they were able to run around and chase their tennis balls. There was water and toys provided and even a couple of towels in case of muddy paws…highly recommend!Cathy F.

55My dogs enjoyed the large fenced yard to run and explore. It was very shaded which was a definite plus. Fresh water was there upon arrival plus a bucket of assorted balls for them to play with. There was a comfortable seating area for relaxing. I wanted to thank the host because we scheduled last minute and she accommodated us. Overall, a great place.Nancy S.

55This is a perfect yard for dogs. Ashley remembered us and added some water since all mine did was run and they got very thirsty. She also put out a towel to wipe muddy paws after it had rained. Very thoughtful.Tracy S.

55What a lovely space! My dogs had an absolute blast exploring, playing, and sniffing. There’s enough space for my tall, 95-pound Shepherd to hit full speed and she surely took advantage! The area is well-kept and Ashley is an A+ host. She left out a towel, doggy bags, and treats for my loves. We will definitely be back!Kate D.

FAQ about our Waxhaw 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.
