55The space is great! There is a fully enclosed area with agility equipment, a kiddie pool and plenty of balls to play fetch. Anja is a kind and gracious host. There is also a walking trail you can take your pup. My dog is always nervous at first in a new environment, but was eventually splashing around in the pool. She liked the trail, too. I definitely recommend this amazing place!
55Anja was helpful and welcoming, she runs a dog rescue there! The Sniffspot had so much to do and Anja provided us with toys, balls, filled up pool, water, towels, wipes and bug spray. What a fantastic host! The dogs loved running around and enjoyed all the smells. They especially liked dipping in the cool pool as it was a 80+ degree day. I couldn’t find the trails she told us about but that’s okay it was a little too hot for the dogs to be out long. Do recommend especially if your dogs like to do agility training!
55Amazing host! Great place to let the doggies run and have a blast!
55So much fun! My dogs loved exploring and playing on the agility equipment. Host gave us everything we needed including some new tennis balls and a toy.
35Anja had the agility yard ready and also that I could use her home yard adjacent. Agility yard had a lot of stuff for dogs to climb and use, but for my larger dog it was too small and cluttered for him to run. A bit better in her adjacent yard where I tossed one of the many balls. We also walked the partially fenced path on-leash which was fine. Since my dog needs more space to run around we probably won’t be back.
45Large securely enclosed agility area and private yard space, plus a nice unfenced trail behind the house. Lots of fun smells and rooster noises for my dogs to enjoy. My dogs preferred the trail area more. Only negative was there were quite a lot of large piles of dog poop in the enclosed areas which was not great, as well as some bagged poop left in the agility area. The trail area was less dog poopy, but there was some rabbit or squirrel poop that my dogs snacked on.
55amazing spot with lots to do!
55Great experience! We didn't go to the back path, dogs had too much fun in the agility yard and big fenced yard! Nice clean area! Will definitely go again!
45Great experience. We loved the trails! We didn’t use the agility course much because there was only one part that our dog seemed to be interested in. She really enjoyed whipping around the trails and it was great not having to worry that we would run into other people/dogs.
55Anja was very kind and met us as soon as we got to her Sniffspot! She showed us around, explained what there was to offer, and had made towels, bug spray, and extra toys available to us. The trails were well maintained. We would definitely recommend and come back again!

Fully Fenced Yard For Dogs To Rent In Lombard

Fully Fenced
0.17 acres

**Sorry! Pool is away for the season** We live on a corner lot. There is a high, spaced fence along the public sidewalk. There is a kiddie pool (during summer), a rain garden (not really for the dogs, but in case you're worried about water it can temporarily fill up during and after heavy rainfall), and some agility equipment (four jumps and six weave poles) upon request. Easiest access to the yard is to park on E Taylor and enter through the north gate. Please open the gate with the inside latch (about chest height); please do not open the gate with the in-ground bolt. There is a tall, silver trash can on the patio for any human trash. There is a short, silver trash can near the north gate entrance for Dog Bags. Please enjoy a patio chair, dog toys, sunscreen, bug spray, and hammock (weather permitting). Backyard is East Facing so gets lots of morning sun. There is a sun shade over part of the patio but the patio area is 100% shaded by 3:30-4p, the yard is ~50% shaded by 6p, ~100% shaded by 7p.

Take a dip in the creek! Beautiful secluded acreage with mature trees

Unfenced
1 acre

Beautiful secluded property with a creek running through it. The backyard is about 1 acre with a big open field surrounded by large mature trees and a creek bordering the back side. Dogs must be trained not to run off as we do not have a fence. Old fence posts show the property lines. You can to take a dip in the creek with your dog to cool off on hot days. The water does flow so I wouldn't recommend it for really small dogs. The water is fairly shallow but can get high and flow fast after heavy rain. You will have to walk down a small hill to enter the creek. The weeds get high by the water but I have made 2 separate paths to enter the creek. Entering the creek is at your own risk. The creek is on the property line so the land across the creek is not part of the property so please do not go across the creek. If you do plan on going in the creek I recommend water shoes and a towel, it can get muddy by the water. And it can also get buggy, so you might want to bring bug spray as well. Feel free to move any of the chairs from the firepit to anywhere around the yard but put back when finished. Please clean up after your pup, garbage can is the green one by the garage. You can park on the left side of driveway by the RV and enter on the left side of the garage.

Welcome to your dog’s new favorite escape! Tucked away just a 4-minute walk from Starbucks and Naperville Plaza (featuring Trader Joes, Casey's Foods, Jimmy Johns, Rocco's Pizza, Colonial Cafe, and more), this fully enclosed, private suburban backyard is a secure haven designed for high-energy pups, reactive dogs, or owners who just want a peaceful, distraction-free play session. The yard is surrounded by secure fencing and boasts massive, mature trees that provide deep shade even on hot summer afternoons. There is plenty of open grass to fetch, sniff, and zoom, alongside a variety of mature landscaping elements for curious noses to explore. I haven’t forgotten the humans! The yard features an abundance of comfortable seating options, including a patio table. Grab a Starbucks or lunch from one of the neighboring restaurants, walk over, and relax in the shade while your pup burns off energy safely. The gas grill is available to use for a small additional fee. In the event of rain, you are welcome to open the back door to the garage and step inside to stay dry.
