55Easy access and great for our needs. Our GSD pups had fun tromping through the light brush, rolling in the clover and nibbling at the grass. The fence was high enough for our comfortability and was in good shape(but our boys aren’t escapees usually anyways!) thanks for letting us use your spot!Beth C.

55We had a great time! My dogs ran around, explored and played with Linda’s very friendly pup. Linda is very nice and provided water and toys.
The lot isn’t fenced, but it’s a very quiet area. Also, just for information - the drop to the water is pretty steep, so the dogs didn’t go in. Floortje R.

55Linda was very welcoming with a beautiful property and sweet pup Pearl. Linda was so kind and showed us around. Very inviting but also gave us space to ourselves. Would highly recommend her place. Charlene T.

55This was a great experience! It was our first Sniff Spot and it did not disappoint! I am very picky about cleanliness because my pups are not quite 2 yet and still like to explore with their mouths quite a bit. The yard was totally clean and they had a great time running around! There were balls and a chuck it available (among other amenities) and it was easy to get in and out. We will definitely be visiting again!Jori B.

55The spot was clean, secure, and stocked with PLENTY of Chuck-It balls! The pups had a blast!
The only downside is that it was SUPER noisy— but I am not going to take stars away from the host for something that is out of their control. The neighbor dogs, specifically, were bounding along the fence line barking nonstop for the first fifteen minutes or so. Luckily, the dogs I had with me did not care too much about the neighbor’s dogs and, for the most part, ignored them. If you have a highly reactive dog, however, you may struggle a bit more if the neighbor lets their dogs out. Eventually the neighbor came out and got the dogs, but it was VERY noisy for those first fifteen minutes (and a tree was being cut down a few houses down, as well, which added to the clamor). Again— the host has no control over these things, so I am not displeased with them or the yard itself!
Overall, we had a positive experience. It’s hard to find a yard that big in Norfolk. Big thanks to the host for providing a secure, clean spot for Norfolk pups! Sarah C.

55Spot was very nice, clean and had a whole lot of balls for the doggies to play with. I’ve never seen my dog run so much and so fast as she was here. My dog doesn’t get to run since she is a runner and having a nice spot for her to run with a fenced yard was so nice. Will be returning againChristopher K.

55This spot was awesome and it was our first time ever using Sniff Spot. Our 2 dogs didn’t know what to do with all that space and they absolutely loved it! If you have a barker like we do, the neighbors do have dogs that they let out during our visit but the privacy fence was perfect and it was a good chance for us to work on recall while all the barking and excitement was happening. Absolutely recommend this spot for anyone who has pups that need to run that energy out but don’t quite have the manners for a dog park. Emily H.

FAQ about our Williamsburg 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 Williamsburg 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 174 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 21 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.
