55My pups loved it!! I like that we had the option for 30 mins of play since my pups don’t do so good outside for long so I felt that was super accommodating as well as the later times in the day available for play since I get off of work late! This space was perfect for them to run around (: the host was super sweet and I would totally recommend bringing your pups here! Jadyn R.

55Our Golden Retriever puppy loved sniffing around and getting her energy out in the backyard. There is a sign on the gate so it is easy to find where you are going. Quiet neighborhood with easy street parking/wide streets. Appreciated the bowl full of cold water! We will be back!!Molly H.

55The yard space is really good and our german shepherd and golden retriever had a blast running around. There are a few toys available, water bowls, and plenty of seating for the humans too.
Claire was easy to communicate with. Plenty of parking on the street and it’s a very calm area. We will certainly be back! Raphaelle Z.

FAQ about our Houston small dog parks
Are small 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 are 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 park users so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits are 5 stars.
How can I find small dog parks in Houston?
There are 133 small dog parks in the Houston area. The most popular small dog park is . You can browse all of our small dog parks here.
How do I know if a small dog park works for my dog?
Start by applying basic filters, such as fencing and distractions, to find a dog park that works for your furry friends. If your dog doesn't respond to owner commands, you can visit one of our enclosed dog park areas. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our small dog park sites where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can see any park amenities provided, including a park bench, water for dogs or water features such as kiddie pool or water hose. If your dog loves water, you can go to a park with water features, but if they don't love water, you can avoid them. We also recommend reading reviews to check for park maintenance issues and reaching out to the host with any questions. And lastly, of course, check park hours. Many of our parks are open from dawn until dusk.
What are the requirements to bring my dog to a Sniffspot park?
We require that all dogs have basic vaccinations or equivalent titers. We do not allow dogs with a bite history. We require that owners sign our waiver and agree to follow our safety rules. We also require that pet owners follow safety protocols around water features.
Will there be other dogs at the Sniffspot park at the same time as me?
Sniffspot only allows one booking at a time and any host dogs are required to be kept away from the spot during visits. We also enforce 30 min time buffers between bookings.
If you are planning an amazing small dog park party, each Sniffspot park has their own rules regarding special events. Many parks allow doggie birthday parties, training, water parties and other event types. Event organizers need to be responsible for their guests and event organizers should coordinate with the host regarding their fun party. Make sure the park has amenities you need for your party, such as a park with lots of picnic tables with park benches.
