55This was a perfect place to chill and play with our rambunctious young chiweenie mix, Bean. The yard would easily serve multiple larger dogs if necessary - plenty of room to explore or chuck a tennis ball around. It does back up to a park, but the full privacy fences ensured our reactive dog didn't have any issues. We will absolutely be booking again, and I highly recommend it for anyone looking to have the experience of a full backyard playtime with their dog.Brian M.

55Nice spacious backyard. Our dog really loved it and was exhausted by the time we left. He's a puppy, so we left a little early, not using the whole hour. The host had everything we could need outside already—very good experience. The spot was clean for the most part. I did notice that a previous guest failed to clean up after their pet, so I did so that I wouldn't be at fault. brittany f.

55What a great spot! Kate thought of everything — water, sunscreen, toys, bug spray, poop bags, hand sanitizer! Such a nice little oasis, thanks for having us. Andrea Z.

55We love this spot and I was happy to have a weekday off so that we could visit again. Lots of space to run and play fetch and a nicely stocked cart with poop bags, hand sanitizer, wipes, and all the tennis balls your dog could ever want!Leila S.

55Millie loved the open space to run and sniff. She already was very grateful for the box of toys … she couldn’t decide which one to pick! Also, the seating areas were wonderful, especially getting to bask in the sun on such a nice day!
And for anyone needing a place to work while their dog runs and plays, this place has good enough WiFi to allow for that!Valeri P.

55We've been waiting for a couple of weeks to get into this sniff spot, and it did not disappoint on this beautiful February day!
Everything was very clean and there were no hazards for us. My boys loved playing with the toys. And there were plenty! One selected SIX different tennis balls during our time that he enjoyed.
There was space to run and things to climb on. We had a blast!
We're new to SniffSpot but so far, Kate's yard has been our favorite!

FAQ about our Villa Ridge 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. 95% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Villa Ridge 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 129 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 9 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.
