55My dogs enjoyed playing here!
55Private clean area in a convenient location You could hear cars/animals/kids, but not see them. My reactive dog noticed but didn’t seem to mind and it was a good spot to safely train with sound distractions. There are some patches of dirt so I would bring a towel for your pup if you’re worried about dirty paws. We will definitely be back.
55Great spot! Parking was super easy. There were seats and plenty of shade. My pups had a wonderful time running around. Fence was very secure and tall. It was also super clean!
55Cute space for my dog to run around
55Super cute and lots of shade
55Nice private space for my dogs to play! Tall secure fencing, large tree for shade, and chairs. Will be back soon.
55Great spot as advertised. Will visit again!
55Second time here this week and I love it! So do the dogs! I think this is going to be our new go-to spot 😁 Plenty of shade and sun options, seating, perfect amount of space, some toys, and very private with a tall fence (which I appreciate because my boy is a jumper lol).
55Spacious backyard with tall secure fencing. My dog had plenty of room to run zoomies and then enjoyed lounging out in the grass.
55Great spot for the pups to play!

Private entryYes

Private entry

Yes (Always)

Just enter the yard through the driveway gate. There are two portions of the back yard. When you first enter you will be in an area with a treehouse. That is not the sniffspot area. You will see another wooden gate/ door that leads to a separate fenced in section of the yard which is the sniffspot area. Please do not unleash your pups until they are in the designated sniffspot area with the door latched. The other portion of the yard you enter through to get to the designated sniffspot area has a shorter side door that sometimes delivery drivers don't latch.

Location

Arlington, Virginia

Description

Privacy fenced in large section of backyard. Located right by East Falls Metro. One driveway space will always be available for use. Lots of street parking after 5pm and on weekends. I dog sit as well and the dogs LOVE the back yard. Will never have both clients at the same time though. Your dog/ dogs will be the only ones here during your booking. Lots of trees so there's always both sun and shade depending on your preference. I've found it challenging to juggle setting up the sniff spot space on short notice so I'm trying out just offering the space and fewer amenities at a lower price. Chairs are available near the house if you'd like to take them into the sniffspot area. Just put any dog waste bags in the big black trash can in the driveway on your way out. A no frills spot if you just want a nice spot for your dog to run around in for an affordable price. The easiest way to figure out how to enter the sniffspot space is to enter through the driveway then turn left and enter the other wooden gate. The backyard area with the treehouse is not the sniffspot area as it is not as secure. Please do not unleash your dogs until they are secured in the sniffspot area.

Cleanliness

100% of guests said this spot was as clean as expected during their visit.

Hazards

Please do not leave your dog unattended in the sniffspot area even for a moment. The gate can latch and be difficult to open from the outside. While this is rare it could happen leaving you on the outside of the sniffspot and your dogs locked inside. Please just don't even risk it especially because it's not safe to leave the dogs unattended regardless of the gate.

Host Rules

Minimum visit length
1.0 hour
Required advanced notice for visits
2 hours
Max dogs per booking
20
Additional rules

Please never leave the dogs in the sniffspot unattended even if it's just for a few minutes. Although rare, gate could have trouble unlocking from outside because of the design of the handle. Also it's just dangerous to leave dogs unattended even if just for a moment. Please always stay in the sniffspot area with your dogs. If you need to run to your car for a moment for example please leash your dogs and bring them with you. Please do not unleash dogs until in the designated sniffspot area. The yard with the treehouse is not the sniffspot area. While it is safe to pass through that yard to get to the sniffspot area it is not safe to have your dog unleashed in that area.

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.
