55I shared how our dog is very shy and fearful and Sidney accommodated us nicely by putting her dog in a separate room while we were outside. She gave us a speaker to play music which was a nice touch. The backyard had enough space for us to play fetch and it had an umbrella which was great for our pup to cool off. Only thing to note is one of the neighboring apartments has a dog that was barking at us through the window but we weren’t phased by it! Mari S.

55We had the best time at Luisa's Private Dog Yard! The space was nice and clean so we didn't have to worry about our dog running around and exploring, there were some chairs and a tree for some shade which was lovely for us, and there was plenty of space for us to toss a ball around. Thank you so much, Luisa, we'll definitely be back!Brandi B.

55I booked very last min and they did not have time to mow, but Luisa offered to refund me. It was very sweet considering my dog still had a great time and the yard was not crazy overgrown. Great space and very shady. My dog enjoyed it and I myself enjoyed hanging in the shade and reading. It is very isolated in the back so he was not distracted or stressed by other dogs walking on the street. Very convenient location for me and I’ll for sure be back. Sarah G.

55Luisa was very communicative, and the yard was so nice and peaceful! She confirmed in advanced when the yard was mowed, and even left us some bug spray as recent rain has mean a few extra mosquitos. Lots of room for my dog to run around! It was so peaceful with no other dogs around and hardly anyone walking by, and my dog eventually just laid down and sniffed the air. For a city dog who rarely gets true off-leash time, this was just incredible. And I had a great time, too! Would highly recommend Luisa’s yard and will definitely be back :)Violet S.

55We loved this spot! It’s close to the city and very quiet. We didn’t see any other dogs or people. A great place for my anxious pup to decompress! Laura N.

55We just visited for the second time and our dog Doc had the most wonderful time. The spot was nice and clean and the grass was trimmed, so we were able to let him run around freely without worrying. Thank you so much, Luisa, it's so awesome to be able to let him enjoy time outside off leash!Brandi B.

FAQ about our Queens 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 Queens?
There are 260 small dog parks in the Queens 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.
