I've been waiting for the perfect spot in Bloomington Normal to join Sniffspot and finally my wishes came true. I have a 2 year old husky with a ton of energy. Unfortunately, I don't have a yard for him to play in so our walks are at least an hour long. It was 90 degrees today and he hates the heat so giving him the exercise he needs is difficult. Words can't express how much both me and my dog enjoyed Erin's place. Cozy chairs, trash can, complimentary waste bag, water and Sausages favorite spot - the puppy pool!!! I couldn't be more happy to have found this little slice of heaven a few miles away. We will definitely be back, often!

This was such a perfect experience! Abel is on the older side so he doesn't have has much get up and go as he once did. Erin's place offered the perfect amount of space for him to trot around as he pleased and also relax in the shade! It was nice to not have worries about other dogs or people getting too close and upsetting him. He was the happiest boy!!

We just couldn't help ourselves and came back again for some off lead fun time! Sausage Dog recognized where we were this time and pulled me excitedly all the way to the entrance. Seeing my boy so happy just makes my entire day ♥️ Can't wait for the next time!

We played hide and seek this time by the shed and he got crazy zoomies 🤣 I love laughing that hard!

We loved our visit! The fencing is nice and high with no escape spots, clean and well taken care of. We loved the toys available, plenty of fresh water, cleaning station, seating, and ease of access. So happy we found this place to wear out our pup while visiting family in Bloomington!

Well that was a blast! I needed to get my reactive dogs out of the house while a repairman was here. Not only did they have fun sniffing and exploring, now I’m enjoying two very worn out pups. Great, accessible, peaceful space. Thanks Erin!

I love to visit new spots, and give good reviews. Small con was going into it we were a little unsure bc Dennis never replied to my message. Since I was the first to visit, I feel better reaching out a head of time. This garden is gorgeous, secure, clean and spacious. My Apollo had a great time!

Nice, secure, fenced-in area, with lots of grass and room to run! It was clean, and poop bags and trash can are provided. Easy in and out! Definitely going again.

Awesome spot! Very well maintained. My dog can’t go to dog parks so this is the perfect place for her to get some good exercise in
