55My dog and I enjoyed Butters Bark Park. Huge grassy yard, rectangular in shape, perfect for throwing balls (or frisbees). Very clean, lots of chuckers and balls, water bowls, and several seating areas. Will definitely visit again, if not this trip to Raleigh, on the next one. Betsy C.

55I had a fantastic experience at Nikola’s Sniffspot! The grass was short, making it perfect for my pup to run around and play. I appreciated the thoughtful amenities provided, including poop bags, toys, and even mosquito spray. There was also a comfortable spot to sit and relax while my dog enjoyed the space. The yard being fully fenced gave me peace of mind, knowing my dog could roam freely and safely. Nikolas was wonderful with communication and made the entire experience smooth and enjoyable. Highly recommend!Waleria D.

55This is a close spot for us to bring our dogs! Nice and spacious, easy to find. Bring your own water and bowl, bring your own toys. I messaged the host with a question and didn’t get a response but it turned out fine anyway.Emily A.

55Johnnys yard was great! There was enough room for our lab to run freely. There was a dog out next door and our dog got distracted but the fence was tall enough so it wasn’t a problem. Also the neighbor’s dog was really well behaved and didn’t bark at our dog once. We played a lot of fetch and kicked around a soccer ball. Overall a great experience!Mariam B.

55Very nice, clean, and spacious yard! There is a dog next door that will walk up to the chain link fence though so if you have a very reactive pup it’s probably not the best place for you. Maria P.

55This is our new spot 😍 Such good communication and understanding for my reactive pups. The spot was VERY clean with plenty of room, water, hose, and a toy. It was pretty quiet and we had no issues with hearing dogs or people. Very happy and we will be back!Tracy C.

55Amy was super helpful and communicative throughout the entire time! Sent instructional videos on how to open her gate and provided more then enough supplies (water, bowls, towels) for all the dogs there. Everyone had a blast, dogs and humans alike. Would definitely recommend and reserve her again! Nicole M.

55This will definitely be a go-to spot for us. It’s large and not too far from downtown Raleigh. There were tennis balls, water and poop bags for us. We had a great time and now the pup is tuckered out. Mariam B.

55The yard has chairs to sit in and different surfaces for dog to explore. My dog enjoyed sniffing and exploring the yard, and chasing a ball around. She also got to play for a few minutes with our host's dog and she loved that. A little buggy so wear repellent.Roberta A.

Jennifer's Private Dog Park In Raleigh | Sniffspot
55A nice fenced in yard for my dogs to run around and smell. One side has a chain link fence and the next door dogs came out in their yard to sniff around a bit. Like described there are dogs in the house- we could hear them barking. We booked last minute. Dogs enjoyed being off leash. I brought my own poop bags, I didn’t see any in the back yard. I parked in the driveway, which seems to be single car. I’m sure you can park on the street too if needed.Andrea C.

FAQ about our Raleigh fully fenced dog parks
Are fully fenced dog parks safe?
While public dog parks have a number of safety issues, such as aggressive dogs, inattentive owners, disease transmission and general cleanliness, Sniffspot dog parks are much safer than public dog parks. Human and animal safety is our #1 focus. Without a private option, many dog owners are relegated to using athletic fields or tennis courts for their dogs, which are not private or safe. 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. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits are 5 stars. And with fully fenced Sniffspot parks, you can get the safety of a fenced-in space for dogs, while still having plenty of space to run.
How can I find fully fenced dog parks in Raleigh?

How do I know if a fully fenced dog park works for my dog?
Many people looking for fully fenced parks have dogs that are not good with voice control. Start by applying basic filters, such as fences height and distractions, to find a dog park that works for your dog. You can see attributes of fences such as height, gaps and fencing type to find the perfect fenced-in space for dogs. You can filter by size to make sure you have plenty of space, or a smaller space if you prefer a neighborhood park. You can browse on a map by park location to find one in your city or near your city. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our off-leash areas where there are no dogs audible or visible near the space. Make sure to review the amenities of the spot to check features you want for your activity, such as fresh water, trail features such as soft trails or walking trails, or even water fountains. If you prefer wood chips, many of our parks have wood chips or indoor space if you prefer a beautiful park building.
What are the requirements to bring my dog to a Sniffspot fully fenced dog park?
We require that all dogs have basic vaccinations or equivalent titers. We do not permit use by pregnant dogs and we do not permit dogs with a bite history. We require that guests sign our waiver and agree to follow our safety rules, such as staying within the designated off-leash areas. Each park location also has their own set of rules that guests need to follow, such as limiting excessive barking.
Will there be other dogs at the Sniffspot fully fenced dog 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.
