What people say about dog parks around Fairfax, Virginia

A beautiful and spacious yard! Lots of toys and plenty of water available. We came to let my dog run on her birthday and she left happy (and exhausted)! It was a bit buggy during our visit, but it was particularly warm and humid. A spritz of bug spray before going would do the trick. We’ll definitely be back.

This was my first Sniffspot experience and couldn’t have been any better! The host was very responsive and even provided extra snacks for the humans as well. We had the best time celebrating our pups first birthday and the celebration add on was WORTH! 10/10 and seriously the best.

As usual, there are toys, dog treats, balls, water, and snacks. The yard is immaculate and has plenty of room to run. We love it!

Awesome spot! There were toys, bug spray, bottled water if you needed it. They also put out a fresh bowl of water for my goldens. A really thoughtful and fun sniffspot!

Rocky and Bella’s place was fantastic. In spite of planning ahead we were terrified that we will have to cancel because of the hailstorm this afternoon. But, Ryan and Tonya have been super supportive and even offered to make out reservation time flexible. Thankfully everything worked out and my fur baby and his friends had an amazing time and a great birthday celebration! The place for celebration was squeaky clean, well maintained and oh boy! The number of toys and treats available for the dogs, my dogs went bonkers playing and exploring the whole space

One of our favorite spots. Have booked this spot before but never late in the evening. When we arrived at 8:30 pm, we saw they had lit tiki torches, put out bug spray and water bottles for us, as well as some snacks and treats for the dogs. By far the most hospitable sniff spot we’ve been to!

We loved our visit! Both my two dogs and human child had a blast. Lots of room to run and lots of toys. We will be back.

My friend and I loved the yard, our dogs got all the energy out, we definitely recommend it and we will like to go back soon and it was easy to get Starbucks delivered while waiting for our dogs, BUT previous guest/s need to be mindful cleaning after their dogs. I personally picked up two other dogs potty.

Pumpkin, my rescue pup, had sooooo much fun! The spot was so well equipped and had lots of space for the zoomies, and pumpkin found some new favorite toys. And thank you to the hosts for saving me the time slot for the next day when I accidentally booked the wrong date!

As always, Rocky & Bella's sniffspot is the best! There is fresh water, toys, and treats for the dogs as well as some bottled water for the humans. My dog enjoy some zoomies there as well as alot of sniffing around and laying in the shade. Thank you for offering your really great yard!

Great yard. My Aussie rescue appreciated the bin of toys and the treats. A loved the big bowl of water left for my dogs. Thanks and I’m sure we will be back.

The yard was great! Lots of room to run around and play. Prince provided soccer and tennis balls to play fetch.

Piper and I had a wonderful time playing in Prince's Private Dog Park. Lots of room to run and explore. There is a table to set personal items on and two chairs. There were also a few tennis balls and soccer balls to play with. 100% fenced in with a few dogs in the area, mostly not able to be seen, but could hear and sniff them. There is a covered concrete culvert along the fencing near the back of the property. Piper (22lbs) could probably get in it with enough motivation (chasing a squirrel or rabbit - did not see any in the yard during our visit). There is also a garden with some compost materials good for sniffing, but maybe not for dogs that will eat anything. Piper and I will definitely be back to visit.

Prince's yard was perfect for our short visit. I got stuck in traffic getting home from work, so only got in about 35mins of the visit. Just the right amount of time.

My pup had a great time running around! She spent so much time sniffing and exploring the whole yard. She is reactive to dogs and there were no other dogs seen or heard at this spot, which was perfect for us.
