As a devoted dog parent in the Knoxville area, you know how challenging it can be to find a safe, distraction-free spot for your pup to run off-leash, train, or simply enjoy some quality zoomies. Enter Sniffspot – the leading platform that's like Airbnb, but for private dog parks. In 2026, Sniffspot continues to thrive as the go-to solution for dog owners seeking exclusive, secure spaces, with thousands of spots nationwide and strong availability right here in East Tennessee.


What is Sniffspot?

Sniffspot is a community marketplace where locals rent out their yards, fields, trails, or custom setups as private dog parks by the hour. Every booking is exclusive – just you, your dog(s), and any guests you bring. No crowded public parks, no unknown dogs, and no worries about aggressive encounters or unclean conditions. Hosts must keep their own dogs away during your time, and there's a 30-minute buffer between bookings for added privacy.


Sniffspot is especially popular for:

  • Reactive or leash-sensitive dogs who need a calm environment

  • Focused training sessions

  • Off-leash playdates or puppy parties

  • Dogs in apartments/condos craving space to run


Why Choose Sniffspot in Knoxville?

Knoxville and surrounding areas boast a growing number of Sniffspot listings, including fully fenced backyards, large acreage with creeks and trails, spots with dog-friendly pools, and more. Many are in West Knoxville, South Knoxville, or nearby mountain areas – some even offer views toward the Great Smoky Mountains!

Dog owners rave about the experience:

  • "What a wonderful little oasis in west Knoxville... my dog really enjoyed the well-manicured lawn. Hosts were great and we'll definitely be back!"

  • "This allowed us to give them some outside exercise and play time. Highly recommend!"
