55It’s a great spot! But I noticed a lot of people didn’t pick up their dog’s poop - not the owner’s fault, just an FYI, so I still wanted to leave a good review.Jen X.

55I really enjoyed our visit! The host was awesome and we enjoyed talking with her. The fields are fenced and have hills. It is a working farm with sheep, goats, etc. There will be manure in the fields as expected. Many dogs love to eat manure from farm animals because it contains grain. The farm & fields are well maintained.Candace G.

55First, let me say how thrilled I am to have a local sniffspot. Most in our area are a bit remote for us. This yard is very nice for our area. There are many areas of interest to keep the sniffing pups entertained. There is cover if needed and a nice table under a tree. There is plenty of shade and open areas to run and play. We did see hosts and dogs arriving home but their dogs never barked or seemed to notice us. The yard is secure. There is one small area under the back gate that an extremely small crafty dog might try to use but nothing that was concerning for my medium dogs. My dogs were obsessed trying to get to the top deck, but I noticed the host had placed a gate at the top, which is helpful. Overall, my favorite spot so far. We’ll visit again soon.Denise F.

55This was a great yard for our new puppy and two greyhounds to play in. The greyhounds are a bit older and pretty lazy but they all got to zooming around Loren’s yard. We were there after a storm so it was a bit breezy and the wind blew the gate at the top of the stairs down a couple times, but we just used the plastic chairs to keep the dogs from going up on the deck.

55My dog had SO much fun running around this huge yard. I was meticulous in our selection of our first Sniffspot because my dog is a hound and will try to escape an enclosure if she catches a scent. She scouted every corner of the yard for a way out, but thankfully found none. The yard is incredibly secure. I live in an apartment complex and there aren’t many areas where she can safely run around off leash, so I’m excited to have found this perfect spot. We’ll certainly be back!Taylor M.

55Absolutely a great place to bring your dog if any size, energy level, and/or reactivity! This was our first sniff spot experience and we will definitely be going back! Plenty of room for my dog/reactive german shepherd to run around, be chased, and burn off some energy! We didn’t hear or see the owners dogs at all and the neighborhood was quiet and peaceful. The yard was extremely secure with latching gates and tall privacy fence. There were toys laid out and ready to go for my dog. Poop bags and trash bin were also provided in an east location. Plenty of places to sit and hang out for the humans as well. An overall great experience. Highly recommend especially if your dog is dog reactive. Mara B.

55Such a great spot! My reactive pitbull was so happy to run around and i was comfortable knowing she was safely inside the gate. I watched her try and fail to find a way out! There were some audible dogs and other animals to be aware of if your dog reacts to that, but nothing visible. Madeline R.

55Great big backyard, the fence is very high and totally secure. My dog is dog reactive so It’s very hard to find a place for him to run freely. He had a great time getting to play here :) Juhi D.

55Fence and access were great. Lawn was spacious with landscaping that let us play hide and seek games with the dogs. Some stuffy toys around, which the pups enjoyed. The resident dogs did discover us and barked from the top floor of the house. Once our dogs got over the initial surprise of that, it was fine since they couldn’t see them (a very vocal pooch (husky mix?) who was really quite funny was the main culprit). Enjoyed our time and will book if we visit town with the pooches again. Kristen E.

FAQ about our Charlottesville fully fenced dog parks
Are fully fenced dog parks safe?
While public dog parks have a number of safety issues, such as aggressive dogs, inattentive owners, disease transmission and general cleanliness, Sniffspot dog parks are much safer than public dog parks. Human and animal safety is our #1 focus. Without a private option, many dog owners are relegated to using athletic fields or tennis courts for their dogs, which are not private or safe. 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. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits are 5 stars. And with fully fenced Sniffspot parks, you can get the safety of a fenced-in space for dogs, while still having plenty of space to run.

How do I know if a fully fenced dog park works for my dog?
Many people looking for fully fenced parks have dogs that are not good with voice control.

If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our off-leash areas where there are no dogs audible or visible near the space.
