Why rent a private dog park in Royal Oak, Michigan?
55Full privacy fence with no way to get under or through (my hound tried every which way and could not). Fun toys, water bowl, and poop bags for clean up. Little swing to sit on. Super nice. Amanda W.

55This place was wonderful. Just as described. As listed, it’s small - but was plenty big for my jack russell/American eskimo dog- and they have lots of energy! This place is perfect for reactive dogs. The privacy fence and quiet neighborhood help a lot. Very clean. I highly recommend 🐶Jamie G.

55This was our first Sniffspot and we had a great experience!! My girl Clementine had a blast and wiped herself out in the first 20 minutes running around at full speed! We didn’t see any dogs but heard one from a distance as it’s in a neighborhood, but that was totally expected and not an issue. My dog had lots to sniff and no interactions with other animals. We brought our own toys and water bowl for our picky girl but the host had toys, water, and poop bags out for us! Like the host mentions, it’s a smaller yard, but was still plenty room to wipe out my pibble. No issues with her being able to get under the fence or anything, she did try to peek under though. We also kept her harness on afraid she might not wanna leave 😅Rose J.

55Aimee’s yard is exactly as she says it is. It is clean and stocked with balls and stuffies, poop bags and water. It isn’t huge, but it was big enough for my dogs to do some ball chasing and run around. We will visit again.Nancy K.

55A great backyard for a game of fetch, on a quiet street. It’s completely fenced, with a secure gate. The fence is the open-link kind and it’s four feet tall, so perhaps not good for dogs who are fence-jumpers or reactive to people walking past the house. The nextdoor neighbor was out in his yard with his dog; both were very friendly. We will definitely return.Jane K.

55This was the first time my 7-month old pup was able to run around off leash, and she had so much fun! The yard is fully enclosed and well maintained. The dog next door came over to the fence barking and then got out through their gate and ran down the sidewalk, but the owner quickly got him back and put him inside the house while we played. We plan to come back another time. Kim H.

55Plenty of room for my 20 pound beagle to roam around and explore. I’ll bring her back. Completely fenced in and very secure. Owner even had a nice comfy chair to relax in on the driveway. Only stayed 45 minutes because it was so humid today. Terri K.

55The yard was a great space to run and play in. Plenty of room for my 2 mastiffs and their bestie (dobie mix). Chain link fence all the way around. Clean yard. Bring chairs if you are staying a while. We had a 2 hour block so we brought chairs. All of our pups are tired!Lindsay H.

55Super nice yard with plenty of room to run and chase a tennis ball. Nice grass, very secure. Sue was really nice and easy to work with. Do be aware that the fence is chainlink and the neighbors have dogs in case you have dog-reactive dogs. Overall very nice and would recommend.Margaret B.

FAQ about our Royal Oak 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.
