55Amazing backyard! Ladybug had a blast chasing the soccer ball and the yard had a small hill that added to the energy expenditure of chase. The lake by the house is an added bonus and Ladybug loved a dip in the kiddy pool.
55Larissa's sniffspot was amazing! She showed us the lay of the land and was super friendly and sweet to our dogs. The yard had tons of things for the dogs - tires for then to run through, a little ramp, and agility course, and tons and tons of balls and other toys. The dogs also LOVED to swim! It was a great touch to have a doggy pool and doggy towels for dry off the dogs. We'd absolutely recommend this sniffspot and intend to come again!
55Great spot for swimming! Private access to small lake. No other dogs in sight, our dog enjoyed fetching in the water. Great hosts, friendly atmosphere with shady spots for sitting. Highly recommend!
55My foxhound Dante had another great time here as usual. He always gets so excited when I pull up to the their place because he knows where we're at.
55I love this location for the pups. Larissa is very kind and considerate. They have also added an agility course since we were last there
55Such a great location for my dog who loves to swim. Private access and the fauna helps keep my dog from wandering too far. Larissa and her husband are so welcoming and treat my dog as one of their own - they go above and beyond. So grateful
55Our dog, Atlas, had an amazing time here! There was plenty of space for him to run around and play with the toys provided by the host. The area was securely fenced, so we had no concerns about his safety. Atlas particularly loved the lovely private lake in the yard, where he experienced swimming for the first time! I highly recommend this spot; the yard was fantastic, and the host was incredibly kind, providing toys, treats, and more to make our stay enjoyable. We were also there to take product pictures for Pouty Paws, and Atlas got to model some of our latest products. It was a perfect backdrop for the photos, and Atlas had such a great time swimming and posing! Overall, it was a peaceful, relaxing day, and we can’t wait to go back. Highly recommend!
55It was a perfect time like always. Juni is always so happy when she arrives at the house. She starts "talking" in the car as we pull up.
55This was such an awesome spot and the hosts couldn’t have been more friendly!!! The hosts even gave our pups little frozen watermelon/water pops to celebrate our dogs birthday!!!! Our girl Matilda LOVES the water so that was an extra special treat for her to be able to go in/out and roll around in the grass afterwards :-) She was in hog heaven and had the best birthday ever!!!! Her and her brother (and their humans say thank you a million!!!!
55Our pups had the best time at this SniffSpot. The owners have gone above and beyond to create a special place for you to play safely with your dogs! They have everything from swimming, a stick library, treats, seating for humans all in an enclosed, safe yard. This has been one of our fav spots and can’t wait to return soon. Huge thanks to Larissa, Ryan, and Reptar for creating such a fun and special place to play!

Description

A reactive dog himself, our rescue Reptar understands the value of private playtime in a safe space and invites you to enjoy his personal pup oasis! With Fall upon us, we welcome you and your dogs to enjoy our fully-fenced backyard with private lake access. We offer shade for our guests, both from the trees and a movable pop up tent. We also have a dog-kiddie pool for them to splash around in or rinse off after their dip in the lake. We provide outside toys, doggie waste bags, treats, towels and drinking water for you and our furry guests. We offer a 45 yard leash you can use when your dog is swimming if you are worried about their recall in the water. We even have an agility course for some extra fun! We welcome you to sync your phone to our Bose speaker to listen to your own music or just enjoy the sounds of nature. Lots of wildlife to enjoy, you may even help us find the last of the season’s baby turtles during your stay! All dogs are welcome!

Hello! My name is Larissa, and my dog Reptar and I are excited to welcome you to Reptar's Lakeside backyard in Woodbridge! Raising fosters and rescues my whole life, I understand first hand that many dog owners seek alternatives to dog parks and they can be hard to come by near water or lacking other amenities. We'd love to have your dog(s) enjoy our backyard oasis, fully fenced with private lake access with you!

Relaxing oasis in Alexandria

After living in a townhome in Old Town for 20 years with no yard or outdoor space, I decided to buy a new house. My dogs only exercise was walking on a leash or finding empty dog parks at strange hours. Although my dogs were well-behaved, I observed a lot of negative behavior from pets and owners in city dog parks and wasn’t comfortable letting my dogs mingle there. When I bought this house a couple years ago, I knew I wanted to create an oasis for my pets. My landscape architect clearcut 75 feet back into the woods, installed retaining walls to help level the steep slope on the side yard and planted lots of grass to create the perfect backyard. The property is on almost an acre, so the back of the fence is very private with a wooded area. Occasionally, you can see deer on their way to the creek and hear fox behind the fence, although that is usually after 11pm. There is a lot of privacy and nature to enjoy from the patio.The yard is bright and sunny in the morning and shady after 2 or so. Since my yard brings so much joy to my dogs, when my friend told me about Sniffspot, I thought it was the perfect opportunity to share this dog friendly space with the community. There is always ample street parking right in front of my house.  The 6 foot fence is reinforced with chicken wire to keep small dogs in and other animals out. The gentle slope is perfect for fetch to wear out high energy dogs faster. Lots of areas to sniff and explore. The entire yard is dog friendly with no pesticides or toxic plants. Water hose, dog bowl, toys, dog bags and trash can are provided. This yard was created for my dogs so all furniture is pet friendly and the dogs go wherever they want. I do try to keep them out of the fenced part of the garden (where the tacky yard art lives 😂) due to beer traps for the slugs but I don’t freak out when they jump the mini-fence. I don’t want any guest to feel any stress while visiting. Dogs will be dogs and normal dog behavior is expected. There is a fan next to the gazebo for warm days. The fan is plugged into a multi-outlet extension cord and you’re welcome to use both! If you’re into grounding, I never wear shoes when I’m in my yard. The yard is probably more than a quarter of an acre. The land that goes with my house is 1 acre. However, I don’t know how to measure the inside fence and I’d rather under promise and overdeliver. The entrance from the street is double gated, like a dog park, to prevent accidental escapes. Enjoy the gazebo and patio with dog beds for relaxing and shade. Surrounded by trees, the birds and fountain offer the perfect oasis to get away from high stress city living. Wednesday late mornings and early afternoons are blocked off for my lawn mowing company. Monday mornings, my dog poop pickup company services my yard. On Mondays, they usually come in the morning, but I don’t have a specific time. If you have a people aggressive dog, you may want to avoid this time since I don’t know when they will actually show up. I do pick up daily but have the service for anything missed as it’s a large yard with 3 dogs to track. If interested in hosting a party, I am open to a group of people and more dogs than the limit states. Send a chat to discuss details.
