55This was a fantastic spot! Clean with lots of shaded sitting options and space for my girl to get her energy out! I have a small dog and finding sniffspots with fences secure enough for her liquid body is a challenge, but this place was fantastic! I didn’t have to worry about her trying to escape while she explored!Katie M.

55Overall nice space and nice communication from the host. A little bit of noise from the parking lot just beyond the fence, but otherwise pretty peaceful and shady:)Heather S.

55Ethan’s yard was the perfect space for my dog to run around off-leash. Ethan was helpful and communicative ahead of my visit and I had no issues getting into the yard. It was a great spot!!Lauren D.

55Great spot! Deck off the grass was nice to reduce bugs. Grass was well kept. We didn't hear or see any other dogs on the other side of the fence. Fence was tall and secure. Parking and getting in and put of the gates was easy. Eva M.

55This was my first time using Sniff Spot and we could not have had a better experience! Host was quick to reply to questions I had beforehand and everything went smoothly. The yard is well maintained and having a privacy fence was great. We will definitely be back soon! Victoria H.

55I enjoyed the different levels of concrete and combo of grass and pavement. Great place to provide some more socialization to different textures on their feet. Very calm quite area as well, perfect for more timid dogs. Host is very friendly and communicates quickly. Fencing was a great height and secured well. No complaints. Overall great experience.Mason D.

55We had a GREAT time with Bear. He loved the yard and it was fun to watch him prance around the space and roll in the grass. We live in a townhouse with no backyard and so it’s a delight to see the dog have fun and play. Thanks for sharing the space. We’ll be back. Holly K.

FAQ about our St. Louis 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. 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.

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.
