A friend and I took our dogs to play together. The directions were clear, parking was easy, and Caren was welcoming and helpful. The yard is clean, spacious, and secure. It was great to have the kiddie pool. The dogs enjoyed it. There was comfortable seating, water available, and even dog treats. I would definitely recommend this space!

Wonderful space with lush green grass, ample space to run and play, nice plants around, and great seating for the humans! My dogs were happy and comfortable exploring the new scenery and had a great time overall! Easy correspondence with homeowner and smooth process all in all! Thanks so much :)

We have a minpin puppy (6 pounds) and the fencing was totally secure. There were no spots where she could squeeze through and escape. Lots of toys and bones for her to play with and a water bowl with access to the water hose, along with seating for us to relax while she explored. She enjoyed sniffing around and chasing butterflies. Great spot. I'd definitely come back.

Everything was as expected! The yard was big, fully fenced, and full of toys. The house was easy to find and parking was a breeze. Would definitely come back!
What other types of private dog parks are available?
Dog water parks

It is important for dogs to have off leash exercise to sniff and run. But the free and open nature of public dog parks has drawbacks. There could be aggressive dogs, disease transmission and cleanliness issues. For this reason, many dog behaviorists discourage visiting public dog parks and recommend Sniffspot's private dog parks. Sniffspot private dog parks only allow one guest to book at a time and are not open to the public, which solves many of these issues.
