Alyssa’s yard was an urban oasis. There is a nice green lawn, but also has trees and other areas that our two pups loved sniffing around. The dogs also loved the splash pad for cooling off in. We found plenty of dog toys stored in a container for our use, along with the essentials (water and waste bags). We will definitely book again, it was a lovely experience!
What an awesome spot for my fluffer to sniff! So many new sights and smells for him to explore! It’s spacious for those who want to play fetch or bring multiple dogs, but cozy enough to just sit and relax with my pup in the sunshine (or shade😉). There’s lots of toys to choose from, and treats for my dog (I so appreciated that because I ran out), even extra pop bags for “just in case”. Alyssa provided a fresh, clean, cold bowl of water; and bottles of water for me! Beautiful, comfy deck with chairs and a couch; and Adirondack chairs by the fire pit. Her lawn clean is well maintained; my dog enjoyed lying in the cool grass to relax. What a great location, quiet neighborhood, and fully fenced. I felt my dog was completely safe to be himself. Bear & I will most definitely be back!
The yard was the perfect amount of sun and shade with lots of grass. One of my dogs is reactive and I've been working with him on it. One of the neighbors dog came out and said hello through the gate. At first my dog had his normal aggressive greeting. However, the fence was the perfect barrier to work with him on. By the end of our time, he was chasing the other dog with happy body language as they ran back and forth on their respective sides of the fence. Will definitely be back.
Nice sized yard with lots of shade and amenities! Plenty of green grass to roll around in or to chase a toy. The dogs next door were present, but they weren't obnoxious or relentless the way some neighborhood dogs are. My dog sniffed through the fence a bit and then wandered off. It's a very nice neighborhood with large, mature trees.
great spot! the host was helpful and friendly! they left out cups and some water for the people and lots of water out for the pups! the toy bin was stocked with lots of stuff. I paid the extra $2 for the splash pad and it was so worth it! thanks for a great spot!
Such a fantastic spot/experience. The host has thought of it all — beautiful yard/space too! My pups had a BLAST!☺️
Such a great time! There is sooo much space for your dog to get a good run in, lots of fun toys & great seating to relax.
Used the splash pad and it was great! Such a joyful space for a 3 year old GSP
Great place! Alyssa was super helpful and accommodating. Lots of space and lots of extra toys and treats. We’ll be back !
so much fun! thank you!

Hi, I'm Alyssa. I moved to Southside Richmond in September 2021 and adopted my dog Xena (The Warrior Princess) a month later! I work from home as a graphic designer for a non-profit so I'm excited to offer up my yard during the day. I also have a cat, Smalls (from the Sandlot) who might spy on you from a window. We're excited to welcome you to the Southside Sniffspot!
