What people say about dog parks around Mathews, Virginia

Anna K.

November 2024

Very nice medium sized yard, great communication, water was made available, and a few balls too! Solid fence all around, sunny space with just enough shade to cool down. Thanks for having us!

We always have such a wonderful time here! The yard is clean, secure, and quiet. Perfect escape for my dog!

Heather B.

September 2023

This was the perfect spot for my dog to run! The yard is really long and there are no gaps in the fence. There was a neighbor’s dog on the other side of the fence, but no gaps for them to see each other. That did make my dog go crazy running up and down though as he is super reactive. We will be back!

My dogs and I had an amazing time here! The yard is extremely spacious, my dogs loved playing fetch and roaming around the yard! I will highly recommend this place to all my friends.

We always have the best experience at pennys place. The residents and pups are always thoughtful, responsible and most of all respectful. Thank you for sharing your backyard where we can be free to have fun! We were honored to be their 200th guests! Our girl loved the gift of treatos without card! A big thank you to Thank you Cammie and Linus!

Very large, open space for the dogs to run freely. Water and many toys were provided by the owners! Dogs were very happy :)

Such a great set up! Loved the little pool and all the toys. Sadly, all my dog wanted to do was smell everything, but maybe next time he will play.

This is my 2nd time booking this yard. My dogs love it! Everything is great and I have no complaints. I accidentally left my wallet on the porch and one of the homeowners ran out and gave it to me. Thanks again!

Pennys place was the perfect hangout spot for us! They had everything we needed and more. This will definitely become a regular place to visit for us!

Backyard is HUGE!!! It was sooo amazing to let my girl run free. She’s an apartment dog and we don’t do dog parks. It was the best to see her chasing balls off leash and still protected by a fence. I will definitely be back! Easy to access and they left out toys. So nice!!

Allie R.

This was the first time I ever used sniff spot and Penny’s was an amazing experience. The yard is huge and securely fenced with six foot fencing. Covered porch so that humans can sit and watch the pups play while staying out of the sun. There were toys and a bowl of water for the pups along with poop bags. So grateful to have been able to rent this space out and let my dogs run as a break from our very long road trip.

Laurence and I have been visiting his favorite place for a few months now… and it has made a huge difference to his reactivity. Sniffspot has become officially part of my behavioral modification protocols and dog training. Sniffspot became one of the most valuable training tools! A way to successfully provide both mental stimulation and offer an energy outlet while you work on behavior and manners! (Certified animal behaviorist and k9 trainer)

This spot is the best in the area! Ollie loves all the toys, fresh water, and space to run. Can’t say enough good things about the yard (and the hosts)!

Charli B.

July 2023

Such a beautiful backyard! Lots of space to run and play. My boy is pretty lazy and doesn’t like to play with toys outside🙃 but he had a blast getting to smell all of the smells. Super hot day so he throughly enjoyed the kiddie pool! The host offered everything you can think of for my fur baby; waste bags, a trash can, toys of ALL kinds, a water bowl, and a kiddie pool. Very nice shaded area for me to sit as well. Beyond thankful to have found them. I have one tired pup. 😊

We really liked this spot and picked it specifically because it was listed as no dogs seen or heard, having a reactive dog this is imperative. We enjoyed our time here and will be back. Just wish there was a heads up about the dog next-door, he was outside and barking for about the last 10 minutes of our session. The fence was secure and the space was great. We brought our own water, poop bags and toys, but the host had all those available as needed.

Kosmo thoroughly enjoyed Penny’s place. It’s super spacious, well kept, quiet, and even had toys, poop bags and a water bowl. We went early in the morning to avoid the summer heat, but there was still plenty of shade for him to take a break from the sun. Highly recommend! We will absolutely be returning!

Krista P.

August 2023

A wonderful experience (as usual)! My dog appreciated the quiet neighborhood and abundant choice of balls. The pool add on was a great value!

Be aware… tiny little birds who are learning to fly!!! Be mindful for a few days with the dogs!!! (They are by the trees, by the fence) 🐣🐥💕

Extremely professional when exchanging messages and information through the website. Yard was very clean and my boy couldn’t have been happier. Will definitely be returning soon!

April 2023

Pennys place was the perfect spot for our girl to run free. The spacious yard, made us pup parents so happy to see her just be a dog! There was clear communication and easy directions, followed by a TON of chewy balls to play fetch! There were some puppers next door but I assure you the gate is secure and there was plenty of space to play instead of bark. We will love to book for our girl in the future!
