We had a great time, fence was very secure even for our jumper. There was a dog in an adjacent yard that bark for a few moments but then calmed down.

We had the best time! There was water, bug spray and treats! Any goldendoodle had the best time and there was more than enough shade. We did hear another dog next door but it was only for a quick moment.

Great spot to let your pup run around and play! My golden retriever loved getting to play ball here. We will definitely be returning.

We had such an amazing experience. We met with Christoper. He is super nice and we really appreciated the interest he took in Senna and how willing he was to help out with anything. The space is very comfortable. It was so great being able to see the joy that it brought our pup.

Chris was a great host and very helpful to talk to with his vet tech knowledge. The spot was great to let my greyhound off the leash and explore. I am planning on coming back!

Best sniff spot in all of Charlotte. Christopher was incredibly friendly and an amazing host. He had lots of amenities and even a cute sign welcoming us to his yard we will definitely be back!

Bristol loved this spot! She usually lays around a lot when we rent yards on this app but today she sniffed around the whole time! Such a large spot with great scenery and lounging. Was having a stressful day and couldn't deal with going to a dog park, it was the perfect peaceful spot for my dog and I!

Absolutely beautiful yard!! So much space and secure. My dogs had a blast and it was super cozy for humans too! Brittany was so hospitable and set up the sprinkler for my pup and even left a towel for his muddy paws.

We had a wonderful time at this Sniffspot! It's conveniently located and the fence is nice and secure. There was lots of room for our Sasha to run and sniff, she was exhausted after the hour. We would recommend this spot to anyone!

This is such a gorgeous backyard!! Ample amount of space to run and sniff and tons of toys available. The host also had a large bowl of water available for us which was great! Fence is secure and tall - they even have chicken wire on the bottom on parts of the fence to prevent smaller dogs from getting out. Be sure to bring some bug spray if you attracts mosquitoes. 5/5 and definitely will be back!

Rich was very nice, and brought out their little dog Andy to play for a bit! Nice big backyard with lots of toys.

FAQ about our Charlotte dog parks
