Nice place to stop for a break from driving while we passed through the area. It was mid-day and very hot, but there is some shady spots that we could relax in.

My dogs loved this Spot! Plenty of space to run in the mowed grass, and places to explore under the trees and in the tall grass. Plenty of shade and comfortable chairs. Easy to get to.

Emily's place was great! We will definitely be coming back with our crew in the future. There was shade for when the dogs needed it, toys galore, and the yard was very nice and tidy!

Had a great time here with my pup! There were toys and poo bags provided, as well as a place to throw out the bags. Also a large water bowl with fresh water which my dog greatly appreciated. Yard is well fenced with a privacy fence all the way around, so no worries about your pooch escaping. Very easy and convenient to get to with clear entrance instructions. We will definitely be coming back for future play days!

Host was responsive to my messages. This was our first Sniffspot booking and we had a 10/10 experience. Dog loved rolling and running in the safe, private space. Yard was picked up, prior to our arrival. We look forward to visiting for zoomies again in the future. Thanks for lending us your yard!

Aleah and her husband are wonderful. They where super informative about the lay out of the yard, they provided water and bowls plus a place in the shade for me to sit. They where very welcoming and kind. My dogs really enjoyed how large the yard was. They where able to sniff all over and explore through tall grasses which they really liked. Will definitely be returning!!

We took our two Weimaraner's there and they absolutely loved the tall grass! Just like the description says, it feels like country in the city! The was plenty of room to toss a football in the mowed area as well. Will definitely go again!

We had a blast! Easy to access, no dogs/human distractions when we were there! Great for a nervous dog. Nice water access and places to sit if you like that. Warning there are tennis balls if that is a thing for you. We just picked them up.

Space was clean and well kept. Lots of room for my puppy to play. They already had a couples balls out for us to use/a water bowl. My pup loved it and fell asleep as soon as we got in the car. Will definitely be back.

This was my first time visiting and my first time using sniffspot! Overall it was a 10/10..the yard was beautiful and perfectly sized just like the pictures. They had water bowls readily available and soooooo many balls! Definitely will return! To add I messaged the owner with a timing question and they responded back within seconds. I appreciate the quick response and hospitality. Thank you!

What other types of private dog parks are available?
Dog water parks
Many hosts have added water features like pools and/or are nearby lakes or rivers.
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.
