55The place is a dog’s dream with toys, treats, agility course, a small doggie fire hydrant, and an incline to run laps! The neighbor does have two yappy dogs so it’s probably not the best spot for reactive dogs who are quickly overstimulated. However, even while reactive, my dog ran so many laps up and down the hills, he tired himself out! The host is also super kind, gracious, and responsive. 10/10 would recommend for folks who need a place to tire out their dogs.
55Lovely! Thank you so much for a beautiful visit. All three dogs had a great time and ran around and sniffing to their heart’s content. Thank you again! See you soon!!
55We had a great time. Very clean and so many toys. My dogs had a blast and we can’t wait to go back soon.
55Winston’s World is so well planned and designed. The play area was spotless and there was a great selection of toys and plenty of balls to throw. There are relaxing shady areas to sit and the rocking chairs were super-comfy (for pup parents). Lots of bird song and crickets chirping and the neighborhood is quiet and peaceful. My dog is older, so he mostly enjoyed all of the scents, watching birds and eyeing squirrels outside the fenced area. I’m sure a younger dog would really enjoy all the space to run around. The home was easy to find and Nicole had SniffSpot signs placed to show the way to the fenced-in play area in the back. The perfect haven for us from the urban neighborhood we live in. Highly recommended!
55My pup and I had a great time!! We brought our own toys, but he really enjoyed digging through the bucket of balls and play with every single one of them! It got dark earlier than I anticipated and Nicole and her husband turned on extra lights for us. She checked with me beforehand and came down to meet us! She was very sweet to my big guy.
55Very nice spot, with thoughtful amenities (water bowls, water, poop bags, sanitizer, etc.) and plenty of toys! Our pup Birdie had a great time!
55Great yard for play, lots of toys and really appreciated the treats to help entice my dog as she didn’t want to leave. Will come again!
55Winston’s World was wonderful! You can tell such care and thought have been put into this space. It was easy to locate and parking was clear. Our George loved running on the incline and left thoroughly tuckered out!
55Exactly as described - a great terraced backyard with easy parking and lots of toys and treats for dogs to enjoy.
55Thank you so much Nicole for having us. Our pup loved running up and down the hill. The backyard was safe, clean and has everything you need to enjoy your time while you are there. Our high energy pup was exhausted within 20 minutes. We will definitely be back!

Hi and welcome! I'd like to share my labor of love dog park with fellow dog parents and fur babies. Winston is my pup who'd love a play date for guests who request it.

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.
