Playful Paws Backyard Fun

Fully Fenced
0.11 acres

Hi, I’m Anna 👋 My rescue pup Luca and I are lucky to have a fully fenced backyard and would love to share it with you. You’re welcome to book solo playtime for your pup, or if your dog would enjoy a buddy, we can arrange for Luca to come out and play, too. We’re excited to host you! 💛 I’ve been a dog sitter for over 10 years and about 3 years ago discovered Luca is the bestest lil temporary brother ... so, now we dog sit together! He’s wonderful with other dogs and loves to share his toys, zoomies, and all the good sniffs. We do have neighbors who have a pup, so you may hear him on the other side of the fence. The gate is on the left side of the house, and will be unlocked. Give it a good push, to open. Shut it tight behind you, the lock sometimes sticks. There is a green pooper scooper next to the trash bin, and poop bags on the silver stand on the porch. If we are home, I'm happy to treat you to some coffee or tea to stay warm in the cold months. If there is anything else you need, let us know. Enjoy!

Your Complete Guide to Dog Parks in Columbus

 

Trying to exercise your dog at Godown Park on a rainy spring day? Or dealing with the mud pit that Wheeler Park becomes every March? Columbus dog owners know the struggle. The weather's unpredictable, the off-leash dog parks get swampy, and finding a clean, safe space that isn't packed with Ohio State students and their dogs can feel like winning the lottery.

 

Columbus has its share of public off-leash areas like Godown Park, Wheeler Park, and the Antrim Park dog section, but here's the reality: they're crowded, muddy half the year, and covered in codes and signs about vaccination requirements, collars and tags, and current tag information. That's why so many Columbus dog owners are switching to private Sniffspot yards in German Village, Clintonville, Short North, and beyond. Fully fenced spaces where your dog won't track mud into your car. No dog bite scares, no aggressive dogs, just secure space you can count on.

 

Why Columbus Dog Owners Love Private Dog Parks

 

Public off-leash dog parks sound great until you're standing in one. Dog's still figuring out recall? Fenced yards mean they can't take off after squirrels into Schiller Park. It's 40 degrees and pouring rain? You want shelter and solid ground, not standing in a soggy field. Got a dog who doesn't do well with large dogs or gets overwhelmed easily? Private bookings solve that instantly.

 

Columbus Sniffspot hosts offer what public parks can't. Covered areas for Ohio's constant rain, agility equipment for high-energy breeds, clean spaces with water fountains that actually work. You're not gambling on whether other dogs are spayed or neutered or worrying about communicable diseases. Training with food or treats? Go ahead without some random dog rushing over.

 

What Your Columbus Dog Actually Needs

 

Columbus dogs need actual fully fenced yards, not parks with sketchy gate latches. They need spaces that drain properly because Ohio weather is relentless. They need water fountains during humid summers. They need regular dog defecation cleanup because nobody should have to navigate that obstacle course. Basically, they need spaces designed for dogs, not just empty lots with a fence around them.

 

Where to Find Dog Parks in Columbus

 

With over 340 Sniffspots in the Columbus area, there's something in basically every neighborhood. German Village, Clintonville, Short North, Grandview Heights, Upper Arlington, Bexley, Worthington, Dublin, Hilliard, Grove City, Westerville. South Side and Brewery District? Covered. Even New Albany and Powell if you're in the suburbs.


Filter by what actually matters: fully fenced dog fields, agility parks, small dog areas, covered spaces for weather protection.

 

Pro Tips for Columbus Dog Park Visits

 

Check the forecast before booking because Ohio will absolutely rain on your plans. Bring poop bags for dog defecation cleanup, a towel (mud season is real), and water even though most hosts have water fountains. Spring and fall bookings are perfect, but grab covered spots for summer humidity and winter cold snaps. Food or treats for training? Pack them.

 

What makes Sniffspot different: your reservation is private. No surprise off-leash dogs. No "can our dogs play?" conversations when yours clearly isn't interested. No muddy chaos. Just dependable space where your dog can run around without the usual Columbus dog park headaches. Browse the hundreds of private options above and book your spot.

55We had a wonderful time at this beautiful spot. My dog would have gladly spent the entire time watching the chickens and saying hi to our friendly host, but she eventually explored the rest of the well maintained, peaceful yard, including the large koi pond. She even got to 'play' with a visiting deer. There was plenty of water, toys, and poop bags provided. We will definitely be back.

55I love this place! This was our first time back since last year. I brought my newest rescue, River, and met up with our new friend, Apollo. We had such a good time that I forgot to take any photos or videos. But as always, Monica’s place was well-kept with everything we could possibly need. I’m looking forward to our next visit, and hopefully my stubborn Anatolian Shepherd will decide to join us (she was too busy guarding the yard to be bothered by getting in the car for an adventure).

Fully fenced and plenty of room with a bunch of toys and an easy location to find and park. Our boy wasn’t brave enough to fully swim but he loved wading in the koi pond. We will definitely be back!

There were plenty of seats scattered throughout the space along with poop bags, treats, fresh water, etc. Everything you could need/want was provided for!

55Great secure area! Our pup worse herself out within a half an hour and just laid out on the sun the rest of the time! No other dogs seen/heard, there was some noise from the neighbors but nothing loud enough to bother anyone. Treats, toys and a dog bowl set out in case you forget or don’t bring one. Host was incredibly sweet and made us feel right at home! We will definitely be back 💕

55Wonderful spot! This was our first sniffspot and the dogs loved it. I loved that it was big enough they can run around and explore, (plus work on recall) but not too big that I lose sight of them. The host also set out a cute bin of balls, poop bags, and wipes. Also left us a bowl of water. Only half of it is mowed short so I would recommend making sure your dogs are getting their flea and tick prevention because of the high grass.

55Wow, it's even cuter in person! My two dogs had the best time there! My pittie loved the water and my newfie baby and I enjoyed the swings and watching over the yard! We ran for what seemed like hours and they were so happy! Lots of seating, lots of space! Water and toys for the dogs they provide. Cute little shelving for sticks too! 10/10 will be coming back!

Wow, it's even cuter in person! My two dogs had the best time there! My pittie loved the water and my newfie baby and I enjoyed the swings and watching over the yard! We ran for what seemed like hours and they were so happy! Lots of seating, lots of space! Water and toys for the dogs they provide. Cute little shelving for sticks too! 10/10 will be coming back!

55Bolte’s Backyard Oasis lives up to its name! Gorgeous, very large enclosed backyard with a koi pond that my 2 active dogs absolutely loved. The lawn is lush and very clean. Plenty of comfortable seating for humans, including a lovely chair swing. Host Monica couldn’t have been more warm and welcoming. She generously provides dog toys and poop bags. We can’t wait to return!

Frequently asked questions about Columbus dog park

Are dog parks good for dogs?
It is important for dogs to have off leash exercise to sniff and run. But the free and open nature of public dog parks has drawbacks. There could be aggressive dogs, disease transmission and cleanliness issues. For this reason, many dog behaviorists discourage visiting public dog parks and recommend Sniffspot's private dog parks. Sniffspot private dog parks only allow one guest to book at a time and are not open to the public, which solves many of these issues.
Are dog parks safe?
