55I’m a professional dog trainer and today I brought my personal service dog and a puppy that I’m boarding to try this SniffSpot out. We LOVED it! It’s a lovely, clean, huge space completely fenced with a privacy fence. I forgot my chuck it stick and balls but they had a basket full of toys to include a chuck it stick with plenty of balls. They also had water bowls and water which is always a plus! My golden and the lab puppy I’m boarding had a blast! This will be a repeat spot for us for sure!Emma R.

55This Sniffspot was a lifesaver with the beaches closed! My pups were seriously bummed without their water fun, but this spot turned things around in a big way. It's honestly one of the best Sniffspots we've ever been to.
The host provided an amazing spread of goodies for the pups. They had a toy box overflowing with fun things to chase and chew on, plus plenty of towels for drying off after a swim. There were even treats on hand, which was a lifesaver for those mid-romp training moments.
But the real star of the show was the pool! It was perfect for the pups to cool down and splash around. As for us weary owners? We got to relax and watch some TV in the shade – a welcome luxury!
Leaving was a challenge – my pups were so pooped from all the fun they were practically napping in the pool! This Sniffspot is a dream come true for a private pool day with your furry friends. We can't wait to go back!Alondra T.

55Jen provides everything you and your pups would possibly need. Her home is spectacular and she is such a gracious hostess. Jen’s pool is perfect for dogs because of the “splash pad.” Larger dogs are able to stand in the water for breaks between swims. My (huge) 8 month old puppy is not confident in her swimming skills, so she got to hang out on the splash pad and benches in the water. My girls had an incredible time in her pool and will definitely be back! Thanks, Jen! :)Cassidy F.

55I don't even know where to begin, there isn't enough to say about this literally pup-perfect sniffspot! My two doggos had the best time here and did not stop swimming for any of it. The way the pool is built is perfect for them to get in and out which was especially nice for my 9 and a half year old golden who has a hard time getting in and out of other pools due to her back hip pain. There were doggie dishes, treats, toys, shade, TV, fans.. you name it! The yard is also big enough to play fetch too! And not only was this pup perfect but also perfect for humans too! Jen is SO sweet and accommodating and very fast with communication. I was even able to use the inside restroom which is nice so you don't have to worry about that while there. We really couldn't have asked for a better time and we will definitely be back!!Andrea G.

FAQ about our Virginia Beach 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. 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 park users so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits are 5 stars.
How can I find small dog parks in Virginia Beach?
There are 94 small dog parks in the Virginia Beach area. The most popular small dog park is . You can browse all of our small dog parks here.
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 doesn't respond to owner commands, you can visit one of our enclosed dog park areas. 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.
Will there be other dogs at the Sniffspot park at the same time as me?
Sniffspot only allows one booking at a time and any host dogs are required to be kept away from the spot during visits. We also enforce 30 min time buffers between bookings.
How much do Sniffspot small dog parks cost?
Small dog parks in the Virginia Beach area range from $3.0 and $50.0. The least expensive small dog park is Rizalle's Private Dog Park In Norfolk. The most expensive small dog park is Fully Fenced Yard & Beach. Each host sets their own price, so you can check the price on the specific Sniffspot dog park listing.
Can I have an event or party at a small dog park?
If you are planning an amazing small dog park party, each Sniffspot park has their own rules regarding special events. 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.
