55This was our first time using this app and it was even better than it looked. George was so happy once he got his confidence and has been slept for 2 hours afterwards. The yard and pool were immaculate and we will certainly be back.David A.

55If you haven’t took your dog here, WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR. They have everything you could need for your pups. It was truly a surreal experience that we will be coming back too! Alyssa L.

55The pool is glorious. Beautiful and perfect temperature relative to the outdoor air temp. Was very comfortable. Our dogs love water and enjoyed being held in the pool and were curious to take the plunge themselves but were a bit shy on their first experience. They had a blast anyway, everything is so well thought-out. There are toys, a filled water bowl, well-kept lawn and astroturf, so beautifully kept and presented. A hangout area also for shade or young kids or conversations for those who have less needy dogs than ours are haha. The gate Iis awesome in the sense that it’s quite tall and I felt confident that even our jumper dog wouldn’t be able to jump it, nor squeeze out thankfully! They both were so happy there that they wouldn’t want to anyway. They didn’t want to leave and we had to play chase to get them. Overall, a drop dead gorgeous oasis for dogs and their companions/caretskers. We were pleasantly surprised by how scenic the area was so we enjoyed the ride as we got near and afterwards it was a quick drive to a gorgeous beach area, so it’s a perfect choice for a combo dog day, pool and beach. We give it 100%, 10-stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Perfection; pure bliss! Robin P.

55My pups had so much fun! One is an experienced swimmer and the other took some convincing to get into the pool. This spot has everything you could need and the directions for access were very easy to follow! Bridgette M.

55So thoughtfully set up for dogs and dog lovers, with lots of small details from milk bones to elevated beds, to even the outside TV being set to an animal channel!!!
Immaculately maintained and GREAT communication.
This was our first visit, and we have been to other local sniffspots. This one TRULY stood out!

We can't wait to rebook another swim day! Thank you!Alexis S.

55What a great experience. Plenty of room for the fur-babies to run, and they absolutely LOVED the pool. They’re now fast asleep and very happy. Everything we needed was there - towels, treats, toys, and the weather was superb. We’ll be back again soon for another visit!John H.

55This spot is great! The pool has a step down for your dog to go use. My dog was hesitant to go into the deep end, but I’m glad he was able to stand in a part of the pool! The host is very welcoming & the location is really nice! Sarah P.

55Clean and grass is very thick, so no muddy paws after swimming. Pool has three easy exit points, and the porch had all supplies anyone could want...toys, poop bags, cleaner, hair removal brushes, ect...Lot's of shade and I would actually consider bringing a grand parent with to watch from chair area for an easy outdoor trip for them.

55Amazing experience today. We added in the optional water heating and it was like having a spa hot tub experience but in an entire pool! Good for dog too so that she didn’t shiver as much due to the seasonal temperatures dropping and it was a morning visit. Most beautiful pool and yard! Had a wonderful time once again!

55Our furry friends absolutely adored their visit to your pool! It's one of their favorite sniff spots, and they were practically howling with excitement as soon as we pulled into the neighborhood. Thank you so much for warming the pool. It was a perfect temperature, and it meant the world to my husband that he could spend quality time with his pups before his deployment tomorrow. We can't wait to return soon!Alondra T.

FAQ about our Virginia Beach dog fields
Are dog fields safe?
If you are looking for an adventure, but also looking for safety, Sniffspot dog fields are a great option. While public dog parks have a number of safety issues, such as aggressive dogs, distracted dog owners, disease transmission and general cleanliness, Sniffspot dog parks are much safer than public dog parks. With Sniffspot all bookings are private space for just you and doggy friends you bring with you and we require all dogs to be vaccinated (or have equivalent titers). Especially for training, privacy is ideal. Contrary to public dog parks, all Sniffspot locations are vetted and reviewed by guests so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog for off leash exercise or outdoor training. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits are 5 stars, while public dog parks often do not even have verified reviews. All payment is done securely online by credit card in a few simple clicks.
All park rental information is available online. Start by filtering parks by fencing, size and distractions, to find a private spot that works for your dog. If your dog has poor recall, you can visit one of our secure fields. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our dog fields where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can review the details of the listing to make sure it works as your desired activity space, for example, safe dog exercise, dog training, a stress-free adventure with your furry friend or even a puppy event. You can even check the park amenities chart for amenities such as indoor training facilities, agility field, synthetic turf, exercise balls or field parking availability in advance. If inclement weather is an issue or poor field conditions, you can reschedule your visit up to 2 hours in advance.
What are the requirements to bring my dog to a Sniffspot dog field?
We require that all four-legged friends have basic vaccinations or equivalent titers. We do not allow dogs with a bite history. We require that guests sign our waiver and agree to follow our safety rules. Make sure to check host rules before visiting to ensure, for instance, that you are following allowable sports activities rules and any special events rules.
Will there be other dogs at the Sniffspot field at the same time as me?
No. Facility rentals are for private play time and any host dogs are required to be kept away from the area during visits, so this is perfect for a private adventure for you and your doggie friends, and perhaps a human friend. Hosts understand that many guests have dogs in training and are nervous owners. So when you book a Sniffspot dog field you have the entire private spot to yourself. We also enforce 30 min time buffers between time slots so you will not run into other guest dogs or a previous person when coming or leaving in the field parking area. Some hosts may have multiple fields, but there is always a buffer between fields.
