55very kind and welcoming. the backyard was very well maintained and clean, will definitely come back, thank you so much !!
55Area was great size. Some elevation to get those hind legs working. Next time will will stay longer to enjoy fully.
55Another great visit at Fur Baby Freedom park. They had the patio heater on when I got there - a pleasant surprise on a very cold day. Thank you!
55My dog has an amazing time!! She got to play with the hose which she loved, and there was plenty of room for her to run around!
55I have been coming to this spot for over a year! I’ve tried others, but this spot is ALWAYS clean, always fresh water—fun toys and treats left out—in the summer she has a baby pool Our dog loves—such a magical place For dogs!
55Great experience! Host met us at the gate and gave us a personal introduction to the sniff spot, which was exactly as described in the listing. My dog is a jumper, and I felt very secure with the high quality, tall fencing around the yard, which was stocked with everything we could have asked for. The dogs had a great time running, jumping and chasing our flying squirrel toys. The wood chips covering the yard seemed to be very comfortable for the dogs' paws, and made for a great play surface.
55Super fun time, the place was clean, there were plenty of toys and clean water, great time overall
55This place radiates comfort, play and love ❤️ the owner is so sweet and generous that we would go back just to see her:) thank you so much for welcoming us to your home! Kingsley and Raven loved it :)
55One of my favorite sniff spots. :)
55My pup Birdie and I had a wonderful time at the FurBaby Freedom Park this morning! The host was so wonderful - she met us at the beginning of our time window to show us around. The Sniffspot was very clean and comfortable, complete with clean water, toys, treats, an agility course, and a kiddie pool for the pup, and chairs, drinks, and hand sanitizer for the humans. Birdie loved the pool and agility course, and getting her zoomies out in a new spot! Great spot - we'll definitely be back! =)

We have a spacious, secure private fenced and peaceful yard, in a quiet and dog friendly neighborhood. Easy parking on the street outside the house, and a side entry gate.  Patio heated available during the colder months. Our yard has sunny areas, as well as plenty of trees providing natural shade and much needed coolness during those hot humid summer days.  A natural wooded yard that borders a county park on one side, with a 7ft wooden privacy fence all the way around the property, the front and neighbor side sections are double sided, so a perfect solution for reactive pups and a side entry gate.  Completely pesticide/herbicide/fertilizer free yard!  Our ground cover is soft playground wood chips, soft for all pup paws, specifically designed to be comfortable for all kinds of furbabies!  The playground chips are a natural tick repellent.

Endless amounts of smells and sniffing opportunities from all the local wildlife that frequent our yard.  Good space for running, playing chase, frisbee, tennis ball, chuck it, for the energetic pups, and plenty of space for meandering, or just lounging around under the shade or in sun spots for the more mature pups!  The public park next to us has several wooded trails, so if your pup has any energy left, it is a nice park to walk. **Our priority is opening up our space for your furbabies to enjoy to their heart's content. If you need to bring your human children too, please make sure they are well behaved, respectful of our property and possessions, and under your mature supervision at all times!

We bought this house in 1997 specifically for my then pack of rescue mutts from Italy. Wide open space, private and secured high fence yard. We've always had a pack of at least 3, usually 4 and even one time 5 pups! All rescues and normally the harder to adopt out pups - senior, black, special needs and they are all my babies, I only have canine children! We are also an approved foster and fospice home for several local rescues, including HART and Shenandoah Shepherd Rescue. We also welcome Rescue groups volunteers to our spot, with further discounts for any shelter pups visiting. All sniffspot proceeds are donated, including monthly donations to Shadows Sanctuary, Lost Dog & Cat Rescue, Pets With Disabilities, Lizzie's Lodge, HART, Big Dog Ranch, Miri's Legacy, Angel's Amongst Us Rescue and pledge sponsorships for pets on euthanasia lists in overcrowded kill shelters across the south.

Relaxing oasis in Alexandria

After living in a townhome in Old Town for 20 years with no yard or outdoor space, I decided to buy a new house. My dogs only exercise was walking on a leash or finding empty dog parks at strange hours. Although my dogs were well-behaved, I observed a lot of negative behavior from pets and owners in city dog parks and wasn’t comfortable letting my dogs mingle there. When I bought this house a couple years ago, I knew I wanted to create an oasis for my pets. My landscape architect clearcut 75 feet back into the woods, installed retaining walls to help level the steep slope on the side yard and planted lots of grass to create the perfect backyard. The property is on almost an acre, so the back of the fence is very private with a wooded area. Occasionally, you can see deer on their way to the creek and hear fox behind the fence, although that is usually after 11pm. There is a lot of privacy and nature to enjoy from the patio.The yard is bright and sunny in the morning and shady after 2 or so. Since my yard brings so much joy to my dogs, when my friend told me about Sniffspot, I thought it was the perfect opportunity to share this dog friendly space with the community. There is always ample street parking right in front of my house.  The 6 foot fence is reinforced with chicken wire to keep small dogs in and other animals out. The gentle slope is perfect for fetch to wear out high energy dogs faster. Lots of areas to sniff and explore. The entire yard is dog friendly with no pesticides or toxic plants. Water hose, dog bowl, toys, dog bags and trash can are provided. This yard was created for my dogs so all furniture is pet friendly and the dogs go wherever they want. I do try to keep them out of the fenced part of the garden (where the tacky yard art lives 😂) due to beer traps for the slugs but I don’t freak out when they jump the mini-fence. I don’t want any guest to feel any stress while visiting. Dogs will be dogs and normal dog behavior is expected. There is a fan next to the gazebo for warm days. The fan is plugged into a multi-outlet extension cord and you’re welcome to use both! If you’re into grounding, I never wear shoes when I’m in my yard. The yard is probably more than a quarter of an acre. The land that goes with my house is 1 acre. However, I don’t know how to measure the inside fence and I’d rather under promise and overdeliver. The entrance from the street is double gated, like a dog park, to prevent accidental escapes. Enjoy the gazebo and patio with dog beds for relaxing and shade. Surrounded by trees, the birds and fountain offer the perfect oasis to get away from high stress city living. Wednesday late mornings and early afternoons are blocked off for my lawn mowing company. Monday mornings, my dog poop pickup company services my yard. On Mondays, they usually come in the morning, but I don’t have a specific time. If you have a people aggressive dog, you may want to avoid this time since I don’t know when they will actually show up. I do pick up daily but have the service for anything missed as it’s a large yard with 3 dogs to track. If interested in hosting a party, I am open to a group of people and more dogs than the limit states. Send a chat to discuss details.

If you have a people aggressive dog, you may want to avoid this time since I don’t know when they will actually show up. I do pick up daily but have the service for anything missed as it’s a large yard with 3 dogs to track. If interested in hosting a party, I am open to a group of people and more dogs than the limit states. Send a chat to discuss details.
