55Kelly’s private dog park was beautiful! It was our first time ever using SniffSpot and we were a bit hesitant at first but visiting Kelly’s pushed those thoughts away. It was clean and spacious and even had a welcome sign with our dogs name! She offers a water bowl, toys and a treat. I would 10/10 recommend to anyone looking to try out this spot if your first time on the app! Yamilis G.

55This was our first time trying sniff spot and we were pleasantly surprised! Yard was beautiful and Zeke and Josie wore each other out! We loved the welcome sign with cookies and were grateful for the bowl of water and toys!
If you are looking to give this a try, I highly recommend Kelli’s place. Safe, secure and Happy Pups! Jamie M.

55Kelly's yard could not have been more perfect. Very clean, left a lovely note which I really appreciated. She had fresh water ready in clean bowls. She had treats not only for the two dogs which came but also had a treat for my third dog at home. She had a splash pad for the dogs, which they used a little and we just turned off the water when they were not interested and played instead. My daughter came with her 17 week old GSD puppy and I had my saint puppy who is 19 months old. We would return here again and plan too. I honestly cannot say enough nice things, the neighborhood was quiet and truly inviting. Thank you Kelly for a great experience. Hilary S.

55For my first time Visiting it was a great space! My dogs just kept sniffing all around. It was very hot and muggy today and the owner even let us use the sprinkler to cool down a bit. Lovely place, lovely correspondence. Would definitely book again 🥰🐕Erika B.

55This was my first Sniffspot and it was a great. There was no sign so I was a little confused at first. The host gave us with water, treats,and toys. Amazing 10/10 experience. Alexis K.

55Our visit to Kelly’s property was great! It was very hot, but she graciously provided drinking water & the sprinkler. My dog enjoyed playing with the toys she provided & running free! We’ll definitely be back. 🐾 Libby B.

55Kelly wrote clear instructions where to park/go. Had water and toys out. Clean open space and allowed for private unencumbered play time with just me and Nemo. Very appreciative of the time and space she shared. Elizabeth S.

55Perfect spot for my boys to let loose. Way bigger than I thought- the pictures don’t do it justice. This was a 40min drive for us and it was well worth it. 100% would recommend to anyone with a reactive dog. No issues with people or dogs approaching! Beth S.

55Our reactive senior girlie had to give up her yard when we moved, and she loves to chase balls and just flop in the grass. This spot was so perfect! The yard is gorgeous and well cared for, and there were so many thoughtful touches. A cute treat, a bin of toys, a water bowl with ice cubes, a shady tent for us to cool off under. Fen had such a wonderful time relaxing, and so did we! We will definitely be back!Lauren R.

55Great spot! Kelly was extremely accommodating and very responsive, a perfect host! Highly recommend! My only critic, we had some run ins with a few bees. Of course, we did have a Pawty which included some food and they pretty much stayed in that area.Jahney G.

55Kelly's yard was absolutely amazing!! This was my first experience using the app and it was an incredible one! The yard is huge, plenty of shade later in the day, but a tent is also provided for shade. My boy got to run and fetch until his heart was content. Kelly kindly provides toys, cold dog water and poop bags. I'll be returning soon and frequently!!Nicole T.

55Best $15 I have ever spent. The yard was great in a beautiful neighborhood. Kelly checked in with me to confirm where to park. She left treats and a welcome sign for our arrival, along with toys and a bowl of water. Our dogs had a blast!! Raquel S.

55Kelly is the nicest host you could imagine! Our dog Margot wasn’t feeling well and she went out of her way to give us a refund via Sniffspot which was not necessary at all but so very kind 💖 Isabelle O.

55Super clean and open. A bunny ran through (unseen by doggo till last minute before he ran through fencing) so that gave him 20 minutes of sniffing and watching alert hoping for return which was fun for him. Toys, water, snacks, peace and quiet. Great place/hosts. Elizabeth S.

55Kolin had the BEST time! He ran, he sniffed, he played with all of the toys, and ran some more - he had a blast! The yard is beautiful and clean and it was so nice of the hostess to make sure we had fresh water, a yummy treat, and plenty of toys. The joy that this Sniffspot brought Kolin was so nice to see after a stressful week due to the thunderstorms we got. Keeley M.

55Kelly's yard was perfect...large, clean and safe, and our dogs had such a great time racing around. Kelly had put out a bin of toys, all of which were used by our Rottweiler, Blue Heeler cattle dog, and six month old Golden Retriever. We appreciated the water and cookies. There was shade enough. We all came home tired and happy. It was a first off-leash experience. We will come again.Karen C.

FAQ about our Wallingford 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 Wallingford?
There are 151 small dog parks in the Wallingford 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.
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.
