55My dog and I had a nice experience there. Could choose from 2 different fenced in areas. One of them is the backyard where you can sit in the shade.. The other is a very large piece of fenced-in land behind the house, with a chicken coop. It was a bit muddy in the back part but I wore old sneakers and it did not affect the fun we had. I will be coming back! Oh and I brought my own poop bags, but there is a scooper and bucket for your use.Cecilia H.

55Fantastic spot! There is 1 acre that is fenced, connected to the home which is nicely shaded. The back 3 acres also house a chicken coop, which my girl thought was interesting but left the chickens alone. We will definitely be back! Katy M.

55Great place to take you furkids! Beautiful, clean location with lots of room to run and play. Our avid swimmer Labrador ABSOLUTELY LOVED the pool and hardly got out. Our Shepherd enjoyed the large space to run and dipped her toes in the water on the large landing step going into the pool. We will absolutely be back. Thank you for sharing such a beautiful space with others!Chrissy K.

55We had a blast. The pool has a shallow area so nervous dogs can enter at their own pace. The yard area is lovely. We brought four dogs and they had the best time!Cristina W.

55Absolutely love that John and Betsy allow the pups to use their pool! The yard has PLENTY of space to run, it’s very well kept, there is a gazebo with seating for shade, and I love that they provide toys and treats for those dog moms who were in a rush and forgot my own! There is plenty of cold water and disposable dog bowls for the fur babies as well! Truly above and beyond!!! Karen B.

FAQ about our Dover 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.
