55When we arrived the first thing we noticed was how clean and inviting the location was. The pool was crystal clear, the grass was nicely mowed and the landscaping was nicely done. There was a fire pit, a lounging area, a swing and a dining table to eat at. Mary left towels for both dogs and treats for the dogs as well. She supplied lots of toys, brushes and poop bags. She really considered the owners as well as the pets on this. Not only did my boyfriend and I have fun but the dogs had the time of their life! We will definitely be coming back and will be recommending her to everyone! Samantha R.

55What a special spot! This was Oscar’s first time in a pool and this was the perfect environment to get him comfortable. Everything was secure, safe and immaculate. There are multiple areas to sit and relax, but being in the pool with the pup was the best. We had the opportunity to meet the fabulous property owner, who couldn’t have been nicer. Thank you for sharing your wonderful space! 🐾Amy B.

55LOVED this spot!! Amazing pool, yard, very clean & thoughtful, with the toys, poop bags & towels. The owner of the house was very friendly & accommodating. Will definitely be coming back. My foster was afraid to swim, but he loved roaming around & hanging out on the couch. My dog Stella had the time of her life fetching the toys in the pool. Olivia B.

55SO MUCH FUN! We drove down from Chicago so our pups could have some pool time, absolutely worth the trip. Mary was able to quickly respond and assist when I asked about the doggy life vest. The pool was beautiful and clean, perfect way to spend a summer afternoon. We will definitely plan another visit back soon! Emma F.

55They left out towels and water toys for the dogs and potty bags. Very clean. There are also little trash cans and water bowls. Can’t wait to book again. We did this to celebrate our fur baby’s 2nd bday. Evelyn L.

55My favorite Sniffspot!!! The pool is amazing…and if your pup is not used to swimming, the yard is fenced and the perfect size the keep an eye on them from the pool. Plenty of sun and shade for pups to lay and relax. Lots of sniffs for them…we will be back!Leonore U.

55This spot was amazing! There was some bad weather earlier and she asked if we could come a few minutes later and even gave us a few extra minutes! The yard and pool are both very spacious and our two pups couldn't have been happier sniffing everything and running around. We will be coming back for sure!Robert M.

55It was perfect! You couldn’t ask for a nicer private place to bring your dog. Mary was an accommodating and good host. Our 5 month old labradane had an injury from playing rough and tumble with older but smaller dogs and we needed a place to let him roam while he heals, but we’ll be back anyway! We asked for the kiddie pool and it was perfect until he gets used to Mary’s normal swimming pool. So clean!!!!! Good toys too! Laura M.

FAQ about our Manteno dog parks
Are dog parks good for dogs?
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.
Are dog parks safe?
While public dog parks have a number of safety issues, such as aggressive dogs, disease transmission and general cleanliness, Sniffspot dog parks much safer than public dog parks. With Sniffspot all bookings are private for just you and dogs you bring with you and we require all dogs to be vaccinated (or have equivalent titers). All Sniffspot locations are vetted and reviewed by guests so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog. 96% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Manteno area are 5 stars.
How do I know if a dog park works for my dog?
You can filter Sniffspot dog parks by fencing and distractions. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our 271 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 33 off leash areas where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can also filter locations to avoid other domestic animals and people. We also recommend reading reviews and reaching out to the host with any questions.
