55Great sniff spot! My dog was able to run around and get some outdoor play area in. The yard was very clean and there was a water hose available for water. There’s also a large seating area to watch your pets play. Whitney S.

55Great yard for dogs to run, sniff out new smells, play games, sit on the large deck and take in the sun, etc. Host (Erika) quickly answered my message when I at first couldn’t find the water. My pups had a great 1st visit today and we hope to return! Joy M.

55Huge, very nice yard! There were some neighbor dogs at the back chain link fence barking pretty continuously the first half of our visit and a kitty next door staring out the window facing the yard if those sort of distractions cause your dog to react. I found that with the size of the space I could pretty easily lure my pup to another area. We enjoyed our visit and Mikey is now sufficiently exhausted!Sharon G.

55So thankful that Erika was able to accommodate our last minute booking. It’s a great space and perfect for fetch.
There are other dogs in the neighborhood and you will hear them more than Erika’s dogs, but other than that it’s a great space.Laura A.

55My dogs had a blast. Amelia was a great host and her yard was plenty spacious for our 2 large dogs to run around and play fetch. There were also lawn chairs available for me, which I really appreciated. We went around 11am and there was plenty of shade so we could all get out of the sun to cool off.
I would recommend bringing some mosquito repellent if you’re like me and prone to them this time of year.
To be clear, that’s not something I’d expect Amelia to provide by any means. She was truly a gracious & communicative host! Taylor T.

FAQ about our Highland Springs 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.
