55What a beautiful spot and nicely landscaped. I was looking for the Sniffspot sign and was so happy and Laurie was so kind to direct me to the side gate.
My dog was super excited. Once released he was running around sniffing the different scents and the scenery was breathtaking (to me).
This spot is definitely worth the visit and is priced very fairly. We’ll definitely be visiting again.Carrie F.

55Beautiful yard and view! Laurie keeps it very clean and well landscaped. There was plenty of space for my standard poodle to chase a ball and get tired. We will return. Thank you Laurie! Megan L.

55We LOVED this space! We had a 4yo old and one dog under a year old so the size of the yard was perfect for the younger one who is still working on recall but big enough where they could run out their zoomies! The yard was beautifully maintained with a great view of the water! We will definitely be coming back! Thank you! Jennifer O.

55My pup loved Laurie’s yard! It was more than enough space for my energetic, 25lb, boy to run around. He took a 2.5 hr nap after we got home! The yard is well kept, very clean and safe. I always worry about letting him off leash since he eats anything he can get in his mouth, but we had no issues here. We’ll be back again! Thank you Laurie for sharing your spacious yard and beautiful view with us!Francelle Y.

55Our time at Laurie’s was just perfect - exactly what Willow needed. We had so much fun in the beautiful backyard, and the view - wow! The disposable bowls provided were such a kind + lovely touch, along with the treats, and the few extra toys available. Willow barely wanted to leave!
As someone with a pup who’s generally very shy and timid, it was so nice to be able to have a spot that she felt comfortable to run around and be herself unabashedly in.
Laurie’s spot was a beautiful, well-kept, meet-your-needs spot. We will most definitely be back when we can!Isse A.

55This was a wonderful Sniffspot! Mary Anne greeted us upon arrival and told me where to go. I have a dog who is terrified of strangers and one who gets very excited around other dogs, so this worked perfect to let them excercise safely. The fence was very high with no spacing, so it felt very secluded and safe for them. There was a water bowl which my dogs appreciated greatly. There is a kids toyset in the yard, pictured in the listing, which my dogs loved running around. There is also a grassy border which my dogs loved sniffing around. My dogs are 50 and 100 lbs, and I felt this was more than enough adequate space for them to run around at full speed. Thanks!Kaitlyn S.

55Marianne was a super host -- she gave us a friendly welcome and told us how to operate the gate. She even dried the chairs on the deck for us! The yard is securely fenced and level. There are a few things along the house and fence that might catch a curious dog's unwanted attention, but nothing unusual or apparently harmful.
Our guy had a great time running around the yard. The neighborhood was extremely quiet; we did not hear other dogs nor people nearby. Unfortunately, our dog tends to get over-excited easily and he started barking. Because he has a very loud bark, we decided to leave a little early -- I didn't want him to disturb the neighbors.Kathy W.

55I love this sniffspot! The fence is nice and tall, so I don’t have to worry about my dog jumping over it, there is lots of room to run around and she leaves water out so your dog can stay hydrated! Very nice!Kelli P.

55We visited this SniffSpot today with our pup Lilli. She had plenty of room to run; everything was clean and maintained.
Marianne came out promptly when we arrived to greet us and then let us be.
Beautiful day for some fun for our pup. I'm thankful for this Sniffspot and will request to book again soon! Thank you! 💙Keli T.

55This was a great experience! The owner popped her head out when we arrived to say hello but then left us to play. The yard was clean, the fence was secure, and we even got a little water dish on the porch! And then a quick goodbye as we left. A really great time overall!Van G.

FAQ about our Des Moines 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 can I find fully fenced dog parks in Des Moines?
There are 285 fully fenced dog parks in the Des Moines area. The most popular fully fenced park is . You can browse all of our fully fenced dog parks here.
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. Start by applying basic filters, such as fences height and distractions, to find a dog park that works for your dog. You can see attributes of fences such as height, gaps and fencing type to find the perfect fenced-in space for dogs. You can filter by size to make sure you have plenty of space, or a smaller space if you prefer a neighborhood park. You can browse on a map by park location to find one in your city or near your city. 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. Make sure to review the amenities of the spot to check features you want for your activity, such as fresh water, trail features such as soft trails or walking trails, or even water fountains. If you prefer wood chips, many of our parks have wood chips or indoor space if you prefer a beautiful park building.
What are the requirements to bring my dog to a Sniffspot fully fenced dog park?
We require that all dogs have basic vaccinations or equivalent titers. We do not permit use by pregnant dogs and we do not permit dogs with a bite history. We require that guests sign our waiver and agree to follow our safety rules, such as staying within the designated off-leash areas. Each park location also has their own set of rules that guests need to follow, such as limiting excessive barking.
Will there be other dogs at the Sniffspot fully fenced dog park at the same time as me?
Sniffspot only allows one booking at a time and any host dogs are required to be kept away from the spot during visits. We also enforce 30 min time buffers between bookings.
