Description

Private dog park for your pups! Approx half acre, fully fence 6’ aluminum fencing, with 3.75” between vertical rods. There may be some very small gaps (under 4”) under fencing as it was installed this year. Please do not allow your dog to dig. We are facing The Great Swamp wildlife refuge with various animals living behind us, so they may be tempted with scents. 😊 While there is secure fencing under the deck, please also do not allow your dog to dig and create gaps, for safety reasons. This is a private home, the bookings are allowing me to recover from this new fence for my greyhound mix. Please be respectful and do not let your dog urinate on the house, deck, deck stairs, etc. This is a beautiful location against the Great Swamp, and I’d like to share it with other four-legged friends. We just moved from nyc to have a yard, so I understand the importance of off-leash freedom! There is a small trash can at end of the carport (near back steps) for potty bags. Please pick up after your dog. We may be home, but we will not bother you. We are located on a dead end, and it is typically very quiet and peaceful here. You are welcome to park in my driveway (but please do not block in any cars). Thank you for considering our Sniffspot!

    Wonderful setting! Huge long property where dog can really open his legs and run!

    Host replied: Thank you, Phil! Yes, the length of the yard really allows my greyhound mix to pick up speed lol. Thanks again for visiting!

    I am so thankful to have Gracie’s playground! My dogs get so excited when they know they are going to play at Gracie’s. It warms my heart to see them run around and play with no worries at all. Gracie’s playground is super clean,plenty of clean water with bowls, poop bags, towels to wipe off paws and plenty of balls as well as a frisbee.

  • Brian D., Sep 17, 2023

    Yard was great, big enough for them to gallop around, but small enough that I could see them. Lori had left water, toys, etc outside for us, but all my dogs wanted to do was run and sniff, and roll themselves in the grass, so baths for them tonight!

  • Erica L., Sep 17, 2023

    Love how they have everything you could need! Balls, frisbee, water, water bowls, poop bags, and treats! Thank you!

  • Erica L., Sep 16, 2023

    We had a great time! The fence was secure and the backyard was at the end of the street with bushes in between houses. It was nice and secluded and quiet. They had a dog inside that only barked once and my dog didn’t see. It was the perfect place!

    Host replied: Hi Erika, I’m so glad you and your pup had a nice time! I love dogs so much, that makes me very happy! Thanks again! -Lori

    We love Gracie’s playground. I take my dogs here twice a week and they have so much fun. The yard is beautifully fenced and super clean. Thank you for allowing all of us play here.🐾

    Gracie’s playground was a phenomenal experience! First off the idea that my dogs can play and relax in a safe environment is priceless. Gracie’s playground is located in beautiful Long Hill on a quiet street. The backyard is large,super clean,fully fenced,completely secluded and surrounded by trees. There is plenty of room for our dogs to run,play,explore and do their favorite thing which is to play fetch. There are beautiful trees within the backyard that provided shade for when my dogs wanted to relax. Chairs were provided for the humans as well as treats ,water bowls and a gallon of Poland Springs Water for our dogs. Balls,poop bags and a receptacle for the poop bags was provided. I absolutely loved this property and most importantly my dogs loved it too. We will definitely be returning on a regular basis. Thank you to our gracious hosts for allowing us the opportunity to share their place with us.

    Host replied: Hi Lisa, I cannot express how happy this makes me that you and your pups enjoyed our space! Thank you for such a kind and thoughtful review! I just noticed you posted some pics of your dogs! I love it!! Thanks again! Looking forward to having all of you visit again! ❤️🐾 -Lori

Leslie's Wags & Whiskers Wonderland Private Pup Playground In West Caldwell

Come and visit us at Wags & Whiskers Wonderland. Where tails wag fast and wave high, whiskers smile, wet noses sniff, zoomies can zoom and doggie wishes come true! Come alone with your dog, with doggie friends or maybe a doggie birthday "pawty" (pawty packages available). We love being a part of Sniffspot and providing a safe space for dogs to get exercise and explore. I have (and have had) reactive dogs and understand the struggles to find fun and safe spaces for them to explore. Come here and enjoy a fully fenced backyard with pool (optional extra fee). Fence height 4 - 5 feet. Large park like setting with grassy flat area for dogs to romp and play. There are dog bowls available and a hose for water. There is a patio seating area with table and chairs as well as a furnished gazebo to sit and enjoy some shade. A large mulberry tree also provides some nice shade with an available hammock to share with your furry friend. There is a heated built in pool, which is separately fenced for safety, and available for use with minimal additional fee. Dog toys available for in and out of the pool. For pool users we offer several sizes of dog swim vests from XS to XL, floats and lounge chairs. I also offer a supply of bug spray and sunscreens. In case of muddy paws there are pet wipes and also a first aid kit just in case. There is a large private driveway for parking. Please remember the purpose of Sniffspot...to interact with your dog so please engage with them and supervise them at all times…no dogs should be unattended at any time. My main focus of becoming a host is for the enjoyment, enrichment, benefit and safety of THE DOGS...this is why we have clear rules, boundaries and limitations which we ask that all of our guests respect. Please always ask if you have any questions or need clarification. POOL CLOSED FOR 2023 SEASON - OPENING DATE FOR 2024 SEASON TBD To our pool users...If you have added the pool as an add on, the dogs are all welcome. Their humans (1-2 adults only per dog) are also allowed to enter with the dog as long as the human is interacting/playing with the dog (if no dog in the pool, then no people in the pool). I do my best to clean/skim the hair out of the pool between guests IF I am home. Unfortunately, I am not always home and cannot attend to the pool in between, and I apologize in advance if there is hair from a previous guest. I have a robot skimmer which may be floating in the pool to help keep if clean. If it is in the pool, please remove before entering and replace when you are done (there are instructions on how to do that at the pool). If you have a dog that may heavily shed, perhaps brush if possible before attending so that less hair enters the pool. We want to keep it nice and clean for all of our guests so everyone has a positive experience.We also do not want to put extra stress on the pool filter so we can keep it running for everyone to use. I also leave a skimmer net by the pool if needed. FYI...It's NJ so the pool is only open from May until mid September. Please keep this in mind when booking and feel free to message me if you want to check on availability. NOTE: 1) PLEASE DO NOT BRING ANY DOG THAT IS SHOWING ANY SIGNS OF SICKNESS OR ILLESS (DIARRHEA, VOMITING, COUGHING, LETHARGY). ALSO, I KNOW SNIFFSPOT ASKS ABOUT DOGS BEING VACCINATED BUT DOESN'T REQUIRE PROOF. I BEG OF ANY GUEST THAT YOUR DOG PLEASE BE HEALTHY AND FULLY VACCINATED. I HAVE A SPECIAL NEEDS DOG AND ALSO A DOG WITH CANCER UNDERGOING RADIATION TREATMENT. BOTH ARE IMMUNE COMPROMISED AND I NEED TO PROTECT THEIR WELL BEING. 2) Allowed 1-2 adults per dog ONLY. 3) Pool area: Use at your own risk. Pool is 3 - 10ft on the deepest end. No running, diving or food/glass around pool. Please do not leave dogs unattended. 4) Raised deck attached to house not for use by guests. 5) Please return everything to it's proper place where you found it. 6) No alcohol or smoking. 7) Please do not let your dog pee or scratch at the pool equipment (filter/heater) behind the pool. 8) I do have some weekend blocks on the schedule. If you are interested in a specific day/time, please let me know, and I still may be able to accommodate you upon request. 9) I currently have dog limit set to 6 but can accommodate more upon request so please feel free to ask. We can make special accommodations upon request.
