55Space was just as described and pictured. Alison left a fresh bowl and gallon of water out for us. There were balls to play with and entry and exit were easy! Thanks for letting us rent your space, Millie is still passed out from playing this afternoon 2.5 hours later. Elizabeth J.

55This was the perfect spot for my reactive pups to run around. The high fences and not fence gaps made me feel like it was a safe spot for them. 5 stars!Cecilia Y.

55Such a beautiful, big backyard! We’re so grateful for folks like these hosts who allow us to give our pups the backyard they deserve for a little while. Our dogs were so so happy and the accommodations were all we could as for and more! Jillian M.

55Loved it! There was a neighbor dog (maybe a cat, not sure, it just walked along the side of the fence, didnt make a sound) that startled my pup, so might not be good for dogs that fence bark but overall a great experience- we’ll definitely be back :)Radleigh H.

FAQ about our Louisville small dog parks
Are small 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 are 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 park users so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits are 5 stars.
How can I find small dog parks in Louisville?
There are 138 small dog parks in the Louisville area. The most popular small dog park is . You can browse all of our small dog parks here.
How do I know if a small dog park works for my dog?
Start by applying basic filters, such as fencing and distractions, to find a dog park that works for your furry friends. If your dog doesn't respond to owner commands, you can visit one of our enclosed dog park areas. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our small dog park sites where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can see any park amenities provided, including a park bench, water for dogs or water features such as kiddie pool or water hose. If your dog loves water, you can go to a park with water features, but if they don't love water, you can avoid them. We also recommend reading reviews to check for park maintenance issues and reaching out to the host with any questions. And lastly, of course, check park hours. Many of our parks are open from dawn until dusk.
What are the requirements to bring my dog to a Sniffspot park?
We require that all dogs have basic vaccinations or equivalent titers. We do not allow dogs with a bite history. We require that owners sign our waiver and agree to follow our safety rules. We also require that pet owners follow safety protocols around water features.
Will there be other dogs at the Sniffspot 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.
If you are planning an amazing small dog park party, each Sniffspot park has their own rules regarding special events. Many parks allow doggie birthday parties, training, water parties and other event types. Event organizers need to be responsible for their guests and event organizers should coordinate with the host regarding their fun party. Make sure the park has amenities you need for your party, such as a park with lots of picnic tables with park benches.
