55This is a PERFECT back yard for my 2-medium to low energy pups. I have a 25-lb mutt and a 50-lb english bulldog. As this was my first sniffspot experience, I only brought my little one. My little mutt had a very enjoyable "sniff-fari" and run. There were lots of different smells for her; probably from squirrels etc. (which she LOVES). There were different surfaces for her to run on like grass, turf, cement patio. There were also obstacles for her to run around like a sitting area, chairs, above ground pool and sides of the house etc. There is also enough area to throw toys (balls) and play fetch. She was really engaged and stimulated by the varied turf and obstacles. The area is also well shaded with plenty of sun areas too. I will definitely bring my bulldog here too. My bulldog overheats really quickly. The shade and size of the yard is perfect to decrease the bullie's chance of overheating. This sniffspot was perfect for my needs. The yard is on the smaller side but that was not an issue for me.Ruth G.

55What a wonderful yard for our little monsters to play in!:) Natalie was a fabulous host and had tons of toys for the pups to play with, even a doggie pool!:) She also had water bowls filled with water and ice. Our dogs loved it and I think they will enjoy it more and more as they get more familiar with the yard. We will absolutely be coming back!
Thank you for this amazing service! Our dogs do not do well at dog parks so this really is great for them!Jennifer H.

55Our three dogs had a blast sniffing, playing, and running around. Natalie was a great communicator and her yard was very dog (and human!) friendly with plenty of shade. Dog toys and water bowls (with ice!) were provided. Great experience- definitely recommend this spot!Emily D.

55Amazing! I recommend this spot to anyone. It was well kept, they had a lovely sign welcoming us at the gate, the instructions were clear, and they had water, toys, and extra poop bags out. It was more spacious than I thought and my dog Teddy loved sniffing around. I felt very safe and cannot thank Cova and his mom enough! Rachel L.

55This location was comfortable and clean and the host was very gracious. She left water and ice for the dogs, dog toys, a towel, and even drinks for me! The neighbor dog did come out and barked a bit and we heard another dog or two but it wasn’t an issue for my reactive dog. Celeste T.

55Our dogs had a ball running around the backyard of cova’s place. Things were set up nicely in the sunroom for the dogs..water, toys, etc. It was cool weather for us, but on sunny days, there is a nice bit of trees for shade. Yard is very secure and quiet! Natalie was excellent with communication..thank you, Natalie for sharing!Linda G.

55We have been to Cova’s multiple times and dogs always enjoy themselves. Plenty of room to run, toys, water, but best thing is the shade, now that it’s getting warmer. Plenty of comfy chairs for human folk too!Linda G.

FAQ about our Gulfport dog parks
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?
While public dog parks have a number of safety issues, such as aggressive dogs, disease transmission and general cleanliness, Sniffspot dog parks much safer than public dog parks. 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. 96% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Gulfport area are 5 stars.
How do I know if a dog park works for my dog?
You can filter Sniffspot dog parks by fencing and distractions. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our 255 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 26 off leash areas where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can also filter locations to avoid other domestic animals and people. We also recommend reading reviews and reaching out to the host with any questions.
