55Great place! Amazing backyard and very kind and welcoming host. The pool was clean and warm. The whole place was so beautiful and we’ll taken care of. Our doggie loved running around in the very ample backyard & rolling around grass. She only popped in pool for a second but we paid extra to swim in there ourselves. We really loved it! Carol F.

55Great spot. Huge yard that's fully enclosed. Beautiful pool. It was great to see my dogs relax off-leash and not have to worry about any other dogs or people. We all had a great time. The host was wonderful. We'll definitely be back.Tim H.

55Nadia’s home was so great! We were greeted upon arrival and informed everything was set up for us (6 people and 3 dogs). The pool area was very clean and they even had a changing area and shower! The entire yard was fenced in and the pool also had a fence! This was especially important for our doggies who love to run EVERYWHERE!! They had a blast! Highly recommend! Denise F.

55Had an amazing time with our kids. The lil ones enjoyed just running around the yard while the Shepard had fun in the pool and of course our English mastiff just enjoyed smelling around, roaming the entire yard with curiosity and of course just laying down. FRANCES F.

55Nadia's backyard is a city dog's dream playground, with ample space to run, dig, and swim. Nadia was extremely accomodating and responsive. Her backyard was clean and easy to navigate. We loved our experience at her Sniffspot!Stephanie C.

55This yard was spacious and my dog had a great time! Will definitely be back and highly recommend! There is a train that runs nearby so if you have an anxiety ridden dog it might be a concern. It was fine for mine though. Kimberly R.

55Great space, lots for my dogs to explore. There is a fence that is adjacent to a path for the public. So my dogs got to smell and greet other dogs while still safe behind the fence! I can’t wait to come back.Janine M.

55This was incredibly convenient and easy. There was driveway access. There was an area provided with dog poop bags and garbage for disposal which was great! Dog toys everywhere. My dog had a great time! The doggy frisbee was his favorite! Rebecca T.

55The best sniff spot we have been to yet! The pool was wonderful for our elderly dog who needs to do water mobility exercises sometimes and for our young puppy who jusy wants to run in circles for hours! The grass was well kept and the pool was perfect. There was even a gate around the pool for more security. So much space for my dogs to run nonstop and so many areas for them to sniff and roll in. Nadia was also such a gracious and kind host, and very easy to reach ans communicate with. Had no issues when we were there and we cannot wait to be back! Joanne V.

55This was one of the best experiences I’ve had with my dog. I live in a condo so she doesn’t get off leash and because she’s also not dog friendly, dog parks are a no no. This was a great alternative and was sooo roomy. I went at 9am and there were plenty of shaded areas. Lots of grass for her to roam and a dog waste station which I think is so thoughtful. Nadia was good with directions, instructions and communication. I hope to book again in the next week. Thank you!!! Danielle D.

FAQ about our Cranford 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 Cranford 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 661 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 98 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.
