55We absolutely loved visiting Valarie’s! We have two anxious rescue dogs who love to run, sniff, and play but a dog park is too unpredictable and overwhelming.
Valarie’s was perfect! Our dogs loved her toys, treats, and everything about the yard, especially a bit of bird watching!
I loved how homey the yard felt! Comfy seating, shade, and a table! I’d love to bring the pups and use the wifi and get some work done! Jessica D.

55This spot is absolutely amazing, I wish I could give it a million stars! Very secure, clean, relaxing set up to sit if you want, toys/balls to throw for the pups, refreshments if you need - Valarie has it all! I was able to meet Valarie (prearranged, she didn’t drop in unexpectedly) - she’s amazing, my (usually reactive) girls loved her, and I highly recommend reaching out to her if you’re looking for other pup services like dog walking, day care or sitting. I can’t say enough good things about how amazing this experience was, you and your pups will love it!Kylie S.

55Jessica was very accommodating and helpful throughout our visit. This was our first Sniffspot experience and we really enjoyed it. The yard was completely fenced in and she had water out for us upon our arrival. Our dog loved running around and chasing her tennis ball into the soccer nets. We will definitely book this spot again in the future! 🐶Hannah T.

55ADORABLE LIL PARK ! This is our first time here and immediately just fell in love. I would say this is a perfect size for from an XS to medium size dog. It is clean, has a paw shape mini pool, turf is clean, lots of ball with many different sizes, you could see birds maybe some squirrels. Since the map/gps would take you to the front of the house, to get to the entrance, you kinda have to drive around, but it is not far so not a big deal, instructions pretty clear you wouldn’t miss it. We love it very much!Eka R.

55Omgoodness this is the cutest doggy oasis! We were there for a puppy social at 2:30pm, it was super hot. Nothing that Andrea can control really. So if you’re planning to visit this amazing private park, plan accordingly to the weather so your dogs can enjoy this amazing sniff spot.
This sniff spot was ready for us and message was sent out 10-15 minutes before our scheduled time, letting us know it’s ready for us, loved the communication between Andrea and I, she was quick and professional.
The sniff spot was clean, and so cute!
There was plenty of sitting area for the dog guardians, they provided additional canopy along the house so there was some shaded areas along the sides. Over all I wish I would’ve planned it better so we could’ve enjoyed it more, but we did enjoy the time we spent there! Thanks Andrea for having this amazing sniff spot! Sandra G.

55This yard is soooooo cute!! It was a warm day so the girls were obsessed with the little dog pool. There was so many toys to play with, a drinking area for fresh water, and an adorable pet waste station. You can tell this host is a huge animal lover by all the thought to detail.

55Host was very nice and accommodating!! They hosed down the yard beforehand, had toys, water, poop bags, you name it; they even changed the water in the pool right beforehand! The yard was very nicely decorated for pride month, such a great photo opportunity really. And fun!! My dog LOVED wading in the pool.
The only thing is since it’s turf, with this Florida heat it can get a bit warm, it was NOT enough to burn paws or anything though - just might be a bit uncomfortable for some dogs depending. But there’s a hose right there to spray the turf down, doesn’t take much effort, just something to be aware of if you’re worried. Or better yet you might choose to avoid the heat all together and go later in the day once it’s cooled down a bit.. Florida is hot!
We loved this place and can’t wait to be back another time!!! Left with a tired dog too that slept the whole entire 2 hr ride home😅 he had a blast!!Taylor K.

55Our second time at this Sniffspot! Andrea is amazing and thinks of everything! Decorated the Sniffspot with rainbows for Pride Month, which we loved! She gave us extra rainbow props, plus gave us a rainbow bandana to keep! Large enough space for 5 pugs but could easily hold more! Many picture ops if you're into that. The pugs loved the lil pool! Definitely my fave spot yet! Cheryl J.

55It was a lovely spot for our dog Max to sniff, run around, and play! The yard really had everything we needed. I was amazed by the effort that went into setting it up so well and making it fun to be in even in very hot weather ! There were toys, shaded areas, water for him to drink, a little pool for him to splash in, and spots for my husband and I to sit. I couldn't ask for more.Anne C.

FAQ about our St. Petersburg 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. 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. 96% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the St. Petersburg 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 272 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 29 off leash areas where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can also filter locations to avoid other domestic animals and people. We also recommend reading reviews and reaching out to the host with any questions.
