"Airbnb" dog parks are now in Richmond

• Still, they deserve something special. Because dog owners are suckers.

Driving the news: Sniffspot launched in Seattle in 2019 and is now in Richmond with around 100 backyards and open fields available for rent all over the Richmond area.

• Listings include fence height, acreage, privacy levels, shade features and seating options.
• Amenities offered include toys, pools, ponds, trails, fire pits and beverages for humans, and even optional extra dogs for play.

How it works: Just like Airbnb, users sign up for an account, search the listings and contact the host to book.

• Prices range from $3-$20 an hour in the Richmond area, with discounts for extra dogs or additional time.
• Membership options are also available.

Of note: If you're looking to list your yard, Sniffspot says hosts make up to $3,000 a month.
