We really enjoyed our time at the facility and will definitely rent the space again! Highly recommend! Be sure to get in touch with the owner directly so that she can make sure she is available to open the building for you. It is a hidden gem and you will love it there!!!Elaine N.

55What an amazing facility! Nothing beats the heat like an indoor sniff spot! And it saved us from getting rained on. She has every toy your dog could want with plenty of room to run around and stay cool! Great for playing, training, and introducing your dog to a multitude of new experiences! Will definitely be back and hopefully joint one of her group classes in the future! Willow has a blast!Jenna S.

55This yard is absolutely huge! We brought our 40-lb mixed breed dog that is high energy and she had an absolute blast playing frisbee and zooming around the yard. As described, the yard is divided into two sections. The first section alone is more than enough for several dogs to play around in or play some frisbee/fetch. The second section is an awesome addition stretching far back, where my dog had fun sniffing around and exploring. I highly recommend visiting this yard!Alana E.

Alyssa's Fully Fenced Yard For Dogs To Rent In Jacksonville | Sniffspot
55Nice yard with lots of shade , which is perfect when the heat is preventing walks. There is a lot of foliage, which was great news for us because that meant more lizard chasing (one of my pups' favorite activities). As the human visitor I enjoyed the swing! There is also a specific parking spot for sniffing guests and easy entry. Meagan J.

55The yard has a great mix of Sun and shade, a table and comfortable chairs and an expanding hose in case you need it. It’s tidy and plenty big enough for 2 or three large dogs to play chase and have zoomies. The fences are all privacy fences and the gate latches securely. There’s a wide parking apron next to the house. The owner wasn’t there when we were, so plenty of room. Even though it’s close to a busy road, the yard was quiet. The host also very kindly kept her own dogs in a part of the house where they would not be seen by visiting dogs. Stephanie was also prompt in responding to questions. Thanks for a great visit!Gae W.

FAQ about our Jacksonville 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. 99% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Jacksonville 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 185 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 21 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.
