55Organized a last minute play date for three husky-mixes & Sharon's listing was the only one available around noon. Her yard, while a little smaller, was very clean with lots of shrub for the pups to sniff around. Perfect size for the three pups to have zoomies and play! We really really appreciated the seating area for the hoomans and thoughtful Sharon was to put out water, toys, and nice treats for the pups (she even had dried chicken feet!!!)! It felt like we were hanging out with friends in our own yard. There's also plenty of hikes/trails nearby so it was a great location. Would book again!Tofu & Nami F.

55Love this sniff spot! It’s fully fenced in and private. It’s a great size for my 4 Cavaliers to run around in. We did hear neighbor dogs but it’s not an issue for our dogs. Definitely going to come back time and time again!Galaxy C.

55My dog loved it there. He spent some time sniffing everything and we played ball for a while. He left exhausted. There were neighbor dogs who barked and nearby chickens clucking, but my dog ignored it, so wasn’t an issue for us. The basket of toys and treats were a nice touch. Deborah K.

55We love Sharon’s yard!
It was perfect for our dog, he had so much fun exploring and running around.
Although the neighbor’s dogs were barking at us every now and then, it didn’t bother our dog much. And when the dogs would bark, the neighbors actively try to get their dogs to stop so it wasn’t bad at all for us.
Sharon provided water, treats, and toys and went out of her way to make sure we were really taken care of. She also has fast response time as well.
Overall, we enjoyed our time and would love to come back!Nicki L.

55This spot is perfect to bring our puppy for a play date. The yard is reasonable size, safe and well maintained. Sharon provides water, toys and snacks. There’s furniture in the yard that we can sit while the pups play. Tori C.

55I love that this sniffspot is so close to home! This was my first time visiting this location and Sharon’s hospitality was great! With dog toys, water, and treats for us to use. My dogs enjoyed the space and the toys, plus the shade from the umbrellas was great for my all-black coated dog to cool down in!
Thank you again, we’ll be visiting soon! Andrea C.

55Cozy backyard with enough room for our dog to run around and lots of things to sniff. Cute patio set with an umbrella for me to sit under while my dog played. Everything was clean and well kept. The toy bin and full water dish were a nice touch. The next-door dog barked twice in the first 10 minutes, and then we never heard it again, so the barking dog was never an issue. Will definitely return to this spot. Rochelle and Gabriel S.

55The access was very easy. The backyard was beautiful! There was water, toys, and treats for my baby! Honestly, we simply just needed a place for him to be able to run freely and play fetch. He enjoyed every second of it! We will definitely be returning! Thank you for hosting us! Sheila F.

55This was our first Sniff Spot and our dog loved it. She’s a senior dog who just enjoys exploring and rolling in the grass. It was a perfect spot for her. The yard was secure and a water bowl was provided… which she preferred to the water we brought her. Thank you so much!Cathy H.

FAQ about our Newark 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?

You can filter Sniffspot dog parks by fencing and distractions. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our 116 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 19 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.
