Sniffspot - Private Dog Parks

Host: Erin S. at 4513 Welford Avenue, Richmond, Virginia 23234 As a professional Canine Behaviorist, I will no longer be using or recommending this app to my clients, my friends, or anyone . If Erin S. had just canceled the booking at the beginning, then she might have my respect. Instead she admitted me & my dogs into a FLEA INFESTED yard, then afterwards made slanderous accusations about me instead of taking accountability for her incompetence & laziness. And now my dogs have giant fleas, each the size of a grain of rice!!! After my complaint Sniffspot tried to shut down the listing, but Erin S. just easily made a new one & is now texting rude comments to me.

Honestly I feel like the app was better in the beginning even though there was less options . A lot of shady bookings , including guest and dogs that were not suppose to be there. Also there’s a glitch on app that auto books you. I was trying to type in code given and it reserved spot. Not the first time it happens. Just more conscious/careful while clicking selections and it still happened. Then you get a warning taking about how often you switch reservations…that you didn’t book

I have a subscription to a certain yard and the yard became unavailable, but Sniffspot says that unless I use the hours at the yard that is unavailable within the month I will lose it. Trying to get a hold of someone from Sniffspot is virtually impossible. I’m going to have to contact my bankwith this ridiculousness. It’s a great concept. Unfortunately this company does not seem to be trustworthy enough to deal with.

Not having a yard for my highly energetic dog to run around in, Sniffspot is the best thing to happen to us. My dog needs to run and get the zoomies out or he turns into an adorable little monster at night. Having a Sniffspot for him to play in really helps a lot. Thanks for being there, Sniffspot!!

I just think the app can use some fine tuning. I am still unsure why all the payment methods I tried would not go through (I verified all accounts), then the app wouldn’t let me back out or resubmit. I had to close the app completely before trying again (did 3times). If you need to fully flesh out your profile before booking, that’s fine. But the app should lead you through and make that a requirement.

The area is safely fenced with so many toys for the dogs, water, chairs…all great accommodations for dogs and their humans.

We love this place. It’s always clean and provides fresh water for our dog. There’s lots of room to run and explore and shade when our pug needs to rest. We’ll definitely be back. 🐕🤗

Seamless process booking my reservation! Absolutely love Sniffspot! Awesome app!

We took our 2 dogs here for the first time this past week and it was all around wonderful. We had a great time, the dogs had a great time. Catriona was awesome and has a true heart for dogs. She was knowlegeable, kind, friendly and welcoming to us and our dogs. We arrived strangers and left as friends. Her fenced yard was great. The fence is tall and sturdy all the way around, perfect. The yard is neat, clean and pretty with plenty of room to run and play. There were toys and treats on hand and a kiddy pool! The time went very fast and we loved every minute there and look forward to going back! A great time was had by all and we’d recommend it 100%….5 star location for sure!

Sniffspot has been a lifesaver. It has made such a positive impact on the quality of my reactive dog’s life. Sometimes we try to use our apartment’s dog park when no one else is there but we have to either go late at night or deal with the stress of hoping no one else shows up. If they do, my dog starts acting like a maniac and I have to offer to leave and explain we need extra space to exit the park. Most people don’t understand and won’t move their dog far enough away for us to exit comfortably and we end up feeling trapped and struggle to leave. Having another option without all that stress has been a game changer for both of us. Thank you Sniffspot!
