55Ryan’s place is amazing! It’s a huge fenced in area which felt very safe. Our dogs loved it. I had a question when we first arrived, sent Ryan a quick message in the app and he responded right away. Great spot and excellent communication! Thank you.Samantha H.

55The yard was so massive!! Our dogs absolutely loved it. There was a neighbor dog that was so much fun (separate adjacent yard) that would sprint back and forth with our dogs. Extremely happy with this yard and will be back to rent again. Moriah M.

55This spot was SO big! Even bigger than it looks in person. We were about 15 minutes late, and Ryan happened to be outside and mentioned he'd be totally fine with us staying late if we wanted, which was super kind!
My dog had so much fun sniffing the entire yard from top to bottom, and getting some good running it. We're both tired and had fun, thanks for having us!Erika C.

55Had so much fun! Clean, secure space. My daughter had fun on the swing set as well! I had a couple of questions and Ryan was extremely responsive! Much appreciated that. Came from Chicago, will come again and check out Main Street!
Note, there is an incline, my dog is a senior, and had a bit of trouble running, next time we will just let him walk around as much as he wants instead of throwing the ball. Ananda B.

55First time using sniff spot, I have two large dogs and I live in an apartment so finding this app made me so happy. I drove 45 minutes to this location because of how large it was, and even with the cold and rainy weather it was well worth the drive. Both the dogs and I had so much fun, the yard is well kept and we will definitely be back! Corie O.

55Awesome sniff spot! Large area for dogs to explore and super secure! It was a bit hot so the pup mostly tried to hide in the shade, but definitely coming back when it's cooler so my lazy drama king can run around a bit!Tammy C.

55Great space! The dogs had a blast and we will definitely be back. Ryan is great at responding to messages and does an excellent job of maintaining the property-short grass, little to no poop in the yard, the fence is in new condition and the gates function easily. The neighbor dogs are just social enough to run the fence but did not react when my dog-selective dog barked at them. It was really nice to have such a large area for them to run around safely in.

FAQ about our St. Charles small dog parks
Are small 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 are 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 park users so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits are 5 stars.
How can I find small dog parks in St. Charles?
There are 189 small dog parks in the St. Charles area. The most popular small dog park is . You can browse all of our small dog parks here.
How do I know if a small dog park works for my dog?
Start by applying basic filters, such as fencing and distractions, to find a dog park that works for your furry friends. If your dog doesn't respond to owner commands, you can visit one of our enclosed dog park areas. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our small dog park sites where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can see any park amenities provided, including a park bench, water for dogs or water features such as kiddie pool or water hose. If your dog loves water, you can go to a park with water features, but if they don't love water, you can avoid them. We also recommend reading reviews to check for park maintenance issues and reaching out to the host with any questions. And lastly, of course, check park hours. Many of our parks are open from dawn until dusk.
What are the requirements to bring my dog to a Sniffspot park?
We require that all dogs have basic vaccinations or equivalent titers. We do not allow dogs with a bite history. We require that owners sign our waiver and agree to follow our safety rules. We also require that pet owners follow safety protocols around water features.
Will there be other dogs at the Sniffspot park at the same time as me?
Sniffspot only allows one booking at a time and any host dogs are required to be kept away from the spot during visits. We also enforce 30 min time buffers between bookings.
If you are planning an amazing small dog park party, each Sniffspot park has their own rules regarding special events. Many parks allow doggie birthday parties, training, water parties and other event types. Event organizers need to be responsible for their guests and event organizers should coordinate with the host regarding their fun party. Make sure the park has amenities you need for your party, such as a park with lots of picnic tables with park benches.
