What people say about dog parks around Arlington, Virginia

Kate M.

July 2024

This yard was perfect for our two dogs to get some good smells in as well as have the space to run! Fully fenced and protected, wonderful amenities including chairs/umbrella and plenty of dog toys. Easy to find and enter :) will definitely be booking again!

Abigail S.

July 2024

Great spot! We’ll definitely be back. Yard was clean, enough room for a large dog to get some energy out, and nice seating in the shade. It was a really hot day and the host offered water. Thank you!

Jessica L.

Chris' place was super easy to find, had lots of available parking, and there was plenty of available amenities (fresh water for the pup, toys, seating areas w/ shade)! Will definitely be booking again!

Chris’s backyard is perfect! A nice little green oasis in a Clarendon concrete jungle. Plenty of toys, water, and lots of shaded seating. We will be back!

This was the perfect location for my pup’s birthday party! I would absolutely book with Chris again - he was kind, responsive, and a host with the most (water bowl, toys, splash pad, table, chairs, umbrella, restroom access). What more could you want?!

Kyana H.

This spot was great. Provided a lot of space for my pups to run around and play. Easy access to get in and the host provided toys for the dogs as well!

Rachel B.

September 2024

Great space! My dog is reactive to new dogs. The yard is 100% fenced and the majority of the yard has a privacy fence so we didn’t have to worry about her seeing other dogs.

Sarah N.

Nice big yard for my puppy to get her zoomies out! Host provided large, clean water bowl, will definitely book again

Kimberly B.

September 2024

Great backyard! Plenty of room to play fetch with the tennis balls and basketball provided. Uneven ground in some areas (note for humans with weak ankles, dogs don't seem to mind!) but it was freshly cut grass and a bowl of water was provided.

Spacious yard right in the middle of Clarendon. It was a wonderful alternative to the Clarendon dog park, which has no grass. Easy to find and there was a bowl of water and tennis ball handy. My dog enjoyed the scents in the lush grass and some squirrels that ran along the fencing. The yard was well fenced-in. I definitely will repeat our visits to this convenient location.

Migle K.

The Sniff Spot was great! Our doggie enjoyed sniffing around, running and nibbling on some grass! Simple, but all you need and in a very convenient location!

YANELLE G.

Nice yard, good size, driveway parking is a huge plus. My dog and I enjoyed fetch and chilling out here.

Victoria B.

October 2024

All fenced in for our 70 lb Shepherd. Water was ready in a bowl and balls were scattered over the grass. Simple and easy to find. Thank you.

Cindy S.

October 2024

My neighbors and I brought our three dogs for some off leash play. The yard was perfect - clean, spacious, dog bowl with easy water access, balls, and chairs for the humans. My rescue Nikki really needed this no-stress playtime. Thanks bunches.

My friend and I recently had a fantastic time visiting this spacious, fully fenced yard with our three dogs. The environment was perfect for our furry companions to run and play freely, and the ample driveway parking made it super convenient. There was plenty of seating for us humans to relax while keeping an eye on the dogs. Plus, it’s lit beautifully at night, making the atmosphere even more enjoyable for an evening gathering. It’s a great way to enjoy a lovely day or night outdoors with your pets. Overall, a wonderful dog-friendly spot!

Ariel K.

November 2024

Extremely easy to access spot, and great space for our dog to run! No issues with fencing, host left fresh water out as well. Would love to return!

Melissa Z.

November 2024

Great location with parking. 15 min drive from West End DC. Easy access to large lawn that my pup loved to run around. Fresh water was ready and waiting for us. Note - the lawn is uneven in some places and had a couple divots, so be careful where you and your dog(s) are running. I also picked up some old dog poop my dog stepped in and a piece of plastic trash, so again, just keep an eye out while you’re there. I didn’t notice any toys or poop bags (there was a trash can), but I always bring my own and could have missed them. Overall a good experience.

Samantha W.

November 2024

This space was perfect for what we needed. The dog we brought had a blast running around since her yard is pretty small in DC. It’s a great space to try to introduce your reactive dog to a potential friend too!

Heather B.

December 2024

A great little convenient spot! My dogs had so much fun and it was wonderful seeing them able to play and run free. We live in a condo and they don’t do well with other dogs so we can’t take them to the dog park. Sniff spot has been such a gift. Thanks for letting us use your space.
