55Easy to get to and secure yard. Dogs next door came out but they’re nice and owner is too. FYI there is lots of road noise and mini construction project going on next door so it’s not super quiet if that matters to you, but good space to let our pup run around. Tracy B.

55I highly recommend Amanda's place for your furbabies! The yard is huge, and our dogs had plenty of space to run, and enjoy themselves. We did not see or hear any other dogs while we were there. The directions to enter the property were clear, as well as a place to park our vehicle. Pamela P.

55Really nice backyard with lots of trees, grass and boulders for your dog to explore. The main reason we booked this spot was because they have a fence my reactive dog can’t see through. The host was really nice and informative about getting to her place, she even went out of her way to inform us her dog and family would be out of sight/sound of our reactive dog. So overall a really nice and peaceful place with lots of room for your dogs to run around. Courtney B.

FAQ about our Anchorage 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. 100% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Anchorage 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 16 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 3 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.
