Top Public & Private Dog Parks in Charles City, VA

Perfect space for a dog/dogs to run free. Used to be a horse farm so the fencing is cattle style fencing.

Welcome to this hidden rural getaway for you and your Furbaby! There are 10 acres of land that can be explored including woods and most popular a pond to cool off or splash around in during the hot summer months. An abundance of wildlife live in the woods so don’t be surprised by a random deer, rabbits, raccoons and such. With rural areas also comes briars, thorns, uneven ground, mole tunnels, and of course, ticks and mosquitoes the further you venture. So come prepared! There are ammenties available to reserve as well if you'd also like to enjoy the water along with your Pup as they will love exploring as should you! If they have a special affinity for water play, you would like to slowly introduce them to water or to just enjoy a splash on the banks privately they will absolutely have a blast! ** This is the country so while the land is wonderful to explore it does have vacant and undeveloped areas. You will encounter nature especially in the spring and summer. Depending on how far from the house and immediate pond area you venture, there are ticks, snakes, uneven ground, rabbits, wet spots, etc. Please keep in mind when booking your comfort level being used to the outdoors and being adventurous!

Large fenced in backyard with trees, shrubs, a shaded area, and multiple seating options. Plenty of room to run around and play without distractions. Please note: November until May we have a 24 hour advanced booking while the remainder of the year is a 4 hour advanced booking. Please reach out to me if you have any questions.

Welcome to our peaceful .25-acre fully fenced private yard, featuring a mix of grass and small digging spots for your pup to explore. For Dogs: We offer dog water, doggie pools, a Jolly herding ball, a tree tugging rope, and chuck-it balls/toys for endless fun. Tons of sticks to chew and squirrels to chase! For Humans: Outdoor chairs, fan, hammock, deck, shade, bug spray, and sunscreen provided! Our neighborhood is very quiet and relaxing and we respect your privacy. ** Please no jumping on the trampoline ** Other Details: Private gate entrance and space to spread out. Our dog stays indoors and won't be a bother during your visit. Friendly neighbor dogs next door, can be heard but not seen. Our dog loves running the fence line with them. Throw poop in trash can in driveway! Please in driveway or street. Doesn’t matter.

A suburban backyard with a sunny field and a few different areas: some woods, a garden, tall grass, and a brick patio with seating. Over the patio are Oak trees that offer shade and the occasional squirrel. Environment: there is road noise and an occasional person walking the road. While we are fully fenced, the escape artist could find an opportunity in the back and front left corners. Our neighbors have a quiet dog who is out for short periods around 3-5pm. There is a section of the yard with a sight buffer and distance from that fence line if you are able to redirect.

Our yard is around .25 acres and fully fenced with a 6ft privacy fence. Only 5 minutes from downtown! We do have a deck (perfect for throwing that ball!) and a patio. We live on a cul-de-sac so parking can be a bit wonky but there are usually spaces available or you’re welcome to pull into our driveway if one of our cars is not there.

Fully fenced in back yard that pups can run and play. Welcome to dig holes. Carport and shed is off limited. Side gate for easy entrance and exit, and driveway or street parking. There’s water hose to use just make sure it’s turned off.

Please come let your pups run around in our large Lakeside yard! Our 3 pups (sometimes 4 if we have a foster) love all the open space, so we hope yours will too. We will try to always leave a towel and some little treats up on the deck, so you’re more than welcome to help yourself to anything up there! There should be a bucket of toys, poop baggies in a ziploc bag that are likely inside of the weatherproof tub by the deck stairs, a pooper scooper and a hose etc, so please feel free to use any of it as needed.

For safety, please keep the pups on a leash as you enter and exit the yard! I provide a water bowl, toys, doggy bags, a trash can, and lots of land for the pups to roam around on and for the humans there are two chairs, an umbrella, and a calm place to sit back and relax for a bit.

Approximate Hours: Saturday and Sunday mornings 8:30-11:30 am M-W 8:30 am - 7:30 pm Thurs-Fri 8:30 am - 5 pm Hi! I'm Alyssa, a rescue dog owner with a ~1/3 acre yard perfect for your dog to enjoy! We have a mix of gardens, grass, mulch, and leaf areas great for sniffing and playing fetch and a bin full of fun toys and treats. We have a special basket of small dog toys upon request. We provide cold water for humans, bug spray, and hand sanitizer. We spray our yard every 4 weeks with a cedar oil mix to help reduce mosquitoes, fleas, and ticks. Reactive dog owners should note that our neighbors on both sides have dogs that may or may not be outside during your visit. They are all friendly but will probably bark to say hello or run the fenceline with your dog. (No dogs live in the yard with the chain link which is newly covered). I recommend leaving your dog on a leash to walk the yard perimeter and ensure they're ok with neighbors' dogs. We provide a bucket of extra treats to help with training and distraction. Our girl loves a "sniffari" where you hide treats around the yard to sniff out. ⭐️ Important notes ⭐️ 🐶 All dogs must be FULLY vaccinated (Rabies, Parvo, Bordetella, DHPP, Lepto encouraged) Please do not book unless you are sure your dog has all their shots. Puppies less than 4 months old that are still building up vaccines should stay at home. 🐕‍🦺 Dogs MUST be leashed when entering and exiting the yard. Our neighbor across the street has a few outdoor cats we want to keep safe and our neighbors walk their dogs on the street. 🍃 Please do not let your dog eat or chew any of the plants in the yard. No excessive digging except for the fresh mulch area, and please refill holes. 🌻 Please do not enter the gated garden area on the other side of the house. (There are no birds in the coop right now) Per Sniffspot's rules, no alcohol is allowed, and please no cigarette smoking; vaping is ok. ⏰ Cancellations: You can cancel or reschedule your visit in your dashboard until 2 hours before your visit time after that, it's locked in. 🚩 We reserve the right to ban any guests who break these rules.

Dogs love my sniff-tastic space! I hope you'll visit my large, fully enclosed half-acre yard. It has everything a pup could ask for: an open clearing for zoomies or game of fetch, shady woods and nooks and crannies to investigate, SO MANY critter sniff trails, and dirt, leaves and grass to dig in! It's also a great space for humans of all sizes to explore! You can even try your hand at a game of bocci ball while you're here in our gravel court! Easy side-street parking on Kamankeag makes accessing the yard through the back gate a piece of cake! *OUR FENCING IS NOT SUITABLE FOR VERY SMALL DOGS OR ESCAPE ARTISTS.*
