55Andy was very kind and communicative before and during our visit. There was water put out for my dog as well as dried seating (after a night of rain). The space was clean and the grass was so healthy that there was no mud after two days of rain. Highly recommend! Shree D.

55We enjoyed Andy’s backyard!
The problem with our own backyard is that our 5 ft. fence isn’t high enough… Andy’s backyard has a good high fence, over 6 ft.
It was such a pleasure to let our 2 big dogs go and run and play with no worries. The place was clean and there was fresh water out.
We wholeheartedly recommend this spot, a good time was had by all and we would enjoy coming back. The hour went by very fast!
Thank you!

55We always have a great time here! My dog is pretty curious and so is sometimes a little too curious about the bees, but he’s easily redirected and enjoys running circles long the fence!Alissa R.

55This is a great spot. Very easy to find, well kept, and fully fenced. Susan is lovely and very communicative. Her yard is quiet and peaceful with a gorgeous tree in the back corner that was in full fall colors when we were there. My Shelby girl was in hog heaven, sniffing around and rolling in the grass. The yard is big enough to get zoomies in but not too big so we could keep an eye on her the whole time. My boyfriend and I sat on the sunny deck and enjoyed the beautiful fall weather. I’ll definitely be coming back! Jordy R.

55This was a great spot, in a kinda hidden location. It was the perfect place for my dogs to run around and explore the big private yard. It was also very safe since it was completely fenced in.Beatriz G.

55Very spacious backyard with lots of shade and some chairs for humans to sit. Old toys (mostly balls, enough for both of my dogs to remain entertained) and water are provided. Cynthia is very kind and has two dogs of her own who remained indoors. Will come back! Noura K.

55Cynthia’s yard was more than just, well a yard, it is a beautiful oasis filled with beautiful sounds of singing birds & with the gentle sway of gorgeous towering trees. I especially enjoyed lounging in the cozy lawn chair:) Was this a getaway for me or for the dogs? Let me just say we all left happy and filled with a sweet boost of serenity. Needless to say this will be our go to outdoor sanctuary.
Fun note: I noticed Cynthia’s dogs were the same as mine (golden doodles)so I asked if they could come play! She kindly obliged. Her sweet Izzy & Violet added such a fun experience for my pups :) also the fresh water, many balls to play with and some treats she had provided was much appreciated! Thank you so much 😊 🐩 Mary A.

55This yard is huge and my dogs loved running around. The owner seems very nice. Just as a heads up to fellow reactive dog owners, dogs can see through the fence at others passing by. Kellie M.

55I love coming to Cynthia’s Sniffspot. The lot is quite large and fully fenced and has a really beautiful and serene, ‘tucked away’ feel to it, with large fig trees and other old growth. It gets great sun to help tucker out the dogs but there are also ample shade spots and seating for the humans. We bring our own water and toys so I can’t comment on that part of things, but it’s a nice touch to provide them. My only tip for new users is to book with enough notice or check in with her in advance so she’s aware you’re coming — I scheduled last minute once and had to wrangle my reactive dog to avoid an encounter with Cynthia and her dogs at the back door. It wasn’t an issue but if you have reactive dogs you just want to be 100% on top of making sure there’s no room for error. Jordy R.

FAQ about our Alexandria small dog parks
Are small 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 are much safer than public dog parks.

How do I know if a small dog park works for my dog?
Start by applying basic filters, such as fencing and distractions, to find a dog park that works for your furry friends.

If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our small dog park sites where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can see any park amenities provided, including a park bench, water for dogs or water features such as kiddie pool or water hose. If your dog loves water, you can go to a park with water features, but if they don't love water, you can avoid them. We also recommend reading reviews to check for park maintenance issues and reaching out to the host with any questions. And lastly, of course, check park hours. Many of our parks are open from dawn until dusk.
What are the requirements to bring my dog to a Sniffspot park?
We require that all dogs have basic vaccinations or equivalent titers. We do not allow dogs with a bite history. We require that owners sign our waiver and agree to follow our safety rules. We also require that pet owners follow safety protocols around water features.

Many parks allow doggie birthday parties, training, water parties and other event types. Event organizers need to be responsible for their guests and event organizers should coordinate with the host regarding their fun party. Make sure the park has amenities you need for your party, such as a park with lots of picnic tables with park benches.
