Great SniffSpot. Aromatic greens, lots of spaces to explore. I didn't meet the host. Compliments to the owner! Very convenient and easy to locate.

Terrific space. Enough Greenspan, terrific height fence and the lilacs are in bloom. Bring water, bowl, toys. Nice amount of shade, too. Love the swing chair under the tree.

Terrific space conveniently located in a great neighborhood. Lovely back yard, perfect space for our guy to catch a ball and get the zoomies out. Only suggestion would be, since it’s literally the back yard to a private home, some signage or indication to be sure you’re in the right spot!

Lotsa sun, lotsa shade, cool breezes. I booked 1.5 hr this time. She hid behind the chairs when I told her time to leave... she loves Dave's yard. Thank you Dave !

The spot is nice, there are a few spaces to sit and get comfy and there's room for your dog to definitely run around. The only bit of confusion was which house it was. I think that from the front of the house it looks different than the backyard pics, so if there can be clearer directions about how to enter the space, that would be helpful. But a nice area overall!

Our pups loved getting the chance to stretch their legs! Wonderful worry free fencing that could easy keep in our 76 lbs escape artist!

We felt welcome to get patio furniture from where it was stored next to the house and place it on the deck, also moving the table to where it was comfortable. Bring your water bowl and supplies and enjoy this varied dog space that winds around the deck and provides bushy cover at the periphery. Great price!

Nice yard and yard! Enough room for my 2 labs to run around and chase each other. Will definitely come back as they had a great time.

Great space! So quiet and peaceful. Heads up, sometimes there are kids toys scattered in the yard, so be mindful if your pup likes to pick things up.

Quiet, tree lined street. Yard is large & shaded. Large tree allowed for great run around. The length & width provided great exercise & lots of great sniffs. When I correctly secured the gate it was a safe great day.

Paul's back yard is very well fenced and secured. My german shepherd was happy running around and play off leash that definitely we'll come back there.

Nell S.

November 2022

Great backyard, bigger than expected. My shepherd had lots of room to run. PLEASE be aware - fence is secure but GATE SWINGS OPEN BY JUST A SLIGHT PUSH. I blocked it off with the recycling bin & a lawn chair, then everything was safe. Will be back, next time with a bungie cord to secure gate opening.

Exactly as pictured. Back gate swings open so I tied it with the leash. Dogs had fun. I will be back

Nice open space for our dogs to run around with a swing to relax on! Quiet area and well kept lawn! Thank you

Super quiet neighborhood and the yard was perfect for my 3 big boys! They had a great time. Would totally come back.

Spotty enjoyed his stay, he explored a lot and tired himself out within 30 min! Super cute backyard, we parked at the church to not block the owners in

Didn't get to enjoy Aubrey's place after plans changed, but it was nice to see that we weren't charged. Good to know Sniffspot users are keeping up that spirit of cooperation. Looking forward to future opportunity to visit.

The backyard is beautiful. The host was super friendly and communicative before we arrived. The yard was a bit smaller than I thought it would be but it worked well for some shorter fetch. There were lots of things for our pups to sniff as well.

Clare C.

October 2022

This spot was so clean and a great hang for a friend and me with our dog-selective dogs! There were so many good sniffs for the two of them that they were entertained by the entire time! I wasn't looking for a space for the dogs to really run in but, for others who may be looking for that, I don't think this spot is a great fit.

Corinne M.

Beautiful yard with lots to sniff. My girl loved zooming back behind the shed and sniffing all the plants. Perfect sniffing spot for my girl.

FAQ about our Des Plaines 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.
