Emily's Fully Fenced Yard For Dogs To Rent In Ankeny | Sniffspot
55Had 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!Danielle B.

55Emily’s place was wonderful. The yard was very well kept, there are toys to play with, water and a lot of space to explore! Emily was amazing to work with, she even made sure we knew about an upcoming storm so that we could reschedule our meet and greet with the pup we are wanting to adopt. Thank you for everything!Lori F.

55Perfectly enclosed yard so we could go off leash, mine has a way of finding ways out. quiet neighborhood which helped my anxious pup. I did hear a dog but far in the distance so I would recommend this for other anxious or “reactive” dogs. Planning on going back! Trish H.

FAQ about our Ankeny 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.
