55What a space! Bruno was SO happy roaming around, smelling all the smells. He was SO happy that 30 minutes was enough to tire him out. Definitely recommend this space to any dog, big or small. Tiffany A.

55Easy entrance, got there alittle early and we booked same day. The owners were already set up, backyard had lots of areas to explore. Lots of lizards to chase, and lots of clean toys. Pool was gated too it was easy to keep the dogs away from the dirt, and getting back in the pool. We were in the pool the whole hour and got to teach the girls how to swim.Mariah T.

55Love this spot. The pool is always clean, even during all the storms we’ve been having! The girls love the green grass, and how much space there is to fetch and run. We don’t have a big yard, so seeing them sprint around in this yard makes my heart so happy!Reagan B.

55Awesome yard and pool with very comfortable seating and in a super convenient area for those of you who are in DC Ranch, Carefree, NE Scottsdale. We’ve been here twice both times Dogs enjoyed running about and I enjoyed them napping for the rest of the day once we got home :D David R.

55This was a great first impression of this app. I always have to find random fields to run my German Shepard but this was so convenient and safe for everyone involved. I got a lil muddy from the pool (duh) make sure ya bring a towel, the host even offered me a towel. 🥺
We will be back ^_^Charlie S.

55Nice big space, lots of room for running and playing. Good sniff spot even if you don't want to used the pool. There is seating under an awning to keep you in the shade. Steve S.

55Super nice and quite large yard! The pool was clean and had steps to go into so I was able to keep my dog company while teaching him to swim. It’s in a really nice neighborhood too. It was clean and secure, I’d visit here again. Annika V.

55What a great yard! We just moved from Maui to AZ with our dogs. We are staying with family whose home does not have a yard. It was so great to see the dogs run and play again. We did not utilize the pool, but everything was clean and well maintained. Thanks Sammi for providing such a safe place for the poochies to romp and just be dogs 🫶🏽🐕🦺🦮🤙🏽Erika T.

55Great quiet location, our 2 pups loved it. Did not use the pool (this time) as dogs just picked up from groomers yesterday - but our boy was definitely longing for it after a 1/2 hour of ball! Thank you! We will be back!Kate S.

55What a beautiful backyard! The yard is secure and the pool is fully gated. There was a small dog barking a couple of houses down, but not close enough to grab my pup's attention. Plenty of room to run and lots to sniff. Equal amount of grass and dirt if your pup is picky about doing their business.Julie B.

55We loved this yard. It is huge and so nice to have the space for throwing balls. The pool will be great to enjoy when it’s warm. The spot was clean and well cared for. Will definitely be back. Debi P.

55Another wonderful time at this gorgeous and safe Sniffspot. It just amazes me how some people are so entitled and spoiled not to appreciate the host’s generosity of sharing a part of THEIR home. “Oh, the water bowl was dirty. Oh, there were leaves in the pool.” This is not a spa, people work for a living so acknowledge that, adapt and be kind. As a German (meaning I was born, raised and lived there) I approve this Sniffspot 100%. I honestly couldn’t ask for more than a big backyard and a pool I am allowed to use without extra charge, so it’s beyond my understanding how some people still find something to complain about. My boy had his best time and I will be back as long as this Sniffspot is available. Please make up your own mind about this Sniffspot and don’t base it on some random people who have nothing better to do than spread negativity for NO reason.Joey D.

FAQ about our New River 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 New River?
There are 102 small dog parks in the New River 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.
