Chad's Fully Fenced Yard For Dogs To Rent In Richmond | Sniffspot
55My dog had a great time exploring and sniffing. The yard might be a little small if you’re looking for a place for your dog to do lots of sprinting, but since mine is super smell-oriented, it worked well for us. The fence is chain link, may not work for dogs who are skittish of traffic.Lesley G.

55I love Chad’s place ! Fully fenced in and conveniently located. It also has lots of areas to sit and relax while your pet plays. Uzi and I have gone twice now and will probably continue coming until it gets too cold to play outside. Maya P.

55First visit today to Chad’s yard. The yard is fully fenced and was very secure for my two beagles. Plenty of yard for sniffing and chasing without obstacles in the way. It was a beautiful winter day for us to enjoy the bright sun shining into the yard. Joy M.

Dog paradise in the city - grass, pools, tunnel, steps | Sniffspot
55Our pup had a lovely time! There was plenty of grass for zoomies and an elevated deck great for cooldown time. A very dog-reactive pup might have a tricky time with one of the next door dogs, who is visible through an open slat fence, but there are enough obstructions that it isn't wasn't an issue for us. The location is convenient, and access was easy. We will visit again!Bruce M.

55First time using it. My dog spent most of it sniffing getting used to the place. But maybe next time she’ll be more into playing and running around. But the yard was great. Little deck to sit on. Will definitely be back Jason W.

55We had so much fun! The covered area was great since it was raining lightly and it wasn’t muddy. Stella also really enjoyed watching the ducks next door. Lieselotte E.

55My dogs and I enjoyed our first visit to this Sniffspot. The yard is good for sniffers and also for humans with a very nice sitting area, owner supplied water, etc. An extra bonus was the walking trails for leashed dogs. Joy M.

55Will is a great host. The yard is very big and the fence is high without any places to escape. Lots of seating for humans and shade as well. Great location in the heart of the city. Stephanie A.

55I totally forgot to bring my fur babies toys but she had fun running around anyway. Jessica said she'll be getting some toys soon so looking forward to that. There was water left outside. Easy street parking and easy access to the yard. We'll be back :)Cherizar C.

55Although Jessica makes her place available for fur babies who need alone time, today we opted to let Oxy play with one of her dogs. Oxy had a blast! Jessica is very kind and it was nice to meet her :) Cherizar C.

FAQ about our Richmond dog parks
Are dog parks good for dogs?
It is important for dogs to have off leash exercise to sniff and run. But the free and open nature of public dog parks has drawbacks. There could be aggressive dogs, disease transmission and cleanliness issues. For this reason, many dog behaviorists discourage visiting public dog parks and recommend Sniffspot's private 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.
Are 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 much safer than public dog parks.

All Sniffspot locations are vetted and reviewed by guests so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog. 96% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Richmond area are 5 stars.
How do I know if a dog park works for my dog?
You can filter Sniffspot dog parks by fencing and distractions. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our 119 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 20 off leash areas where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby.
