55Beautiful yard, well fenced. Great long stretch yard with trees for running and playing fetch. Dogs may have some access to back deck but that wasn’t a problem for our dog. Clayton W.

55Kinda loud next to the highway but it’s nice, lots of space to run. I’ll have to check the forecast next time as it is rained on us. We’ll have to go back!Boede M.

55We’ve been here so many times we don’t know what else to add. 1 thing we haven’t mentioned  in our multiple visits is the length of the property is more than enough for our 75 lb. GSD to get up to full speed and maintain it for sometime. It’s important because of his energy level. It’s a joy to see him run so much and have the distance to get up to where he wants to be.Yihan S.

55This was our first time using Sniffspot, and we had a great time! It felt a little weird at first, just going into someone’s yard (it would perhaps be nice to have a little sign or something just to confirm it’s the right spot, for us anxious people), but my dog loved zooming around and sniffing the lovely yard!Kelsie E.

55First time trying SniffSpot and it was great! The fencing was secure which allowed us peace of mind while we let our new rescue dog get comfortable learning tricks outside. The host left out poop bags, treats, a towel, and there were a few toys/bones in the yard - thank you for hosting us!!!Amanda K.

55This is a super quiet, super beautiful yard with lots of space to run and lots of trees to sniff. The host is super accommodating and communicative and sweetly left us poop bags, treats, water for dogs, and a towel. We saw and heard zero dogs or people during our two and a half hours. 10/10 for our reactive dog and the humans who accompanied her. Ashley A.

55As always, we enjoyed our time there—especially the toys left in the yard to play with. He enjoys the Trader Joe’s treats a little too much—but it allows us to get a little training time in amongst the running around. We also appreciate the water left out for him—he knows just where to find it.Joey B.

55Basket provided with various treats, poop bags, bath freshener, a brush, and a clean towel. The yard was clean and lots of toys were available. It is a very easy drive and there is plenty of parking available. Bruce and I always have a blast when we visit Sylvia’s!Amanda K.

55This yard is amazing. This is my very first sniffspot experience. My dog gets anxiety a lot and we had absolutely no distractions. The yard was clean and just the right amount of freedom for my best friend! I will definitely keep using this service. Suzanne C.

55Our pup had such a nice time running around! The backyard was a lil muddy, but to be expected in Spring. The treats and brush were a lovely touch… our dog enjoyed it all! Would gladly come back here for another sniffsperience. :)Macy M.

55This is only my 2nd sniffspot experience… the yard was as described. It was perfect to play fetch with my medium size tennis ball loving mutt. Host communicates well and promptly! Very gracious host; gave my Daisy some water. Yard is on the smaller side but very cozy with comfy chairs.Linda R.

55This yard was perfect for us and our big puppy. The yard is smallish, but she had lots of room to run and sniff and explore, and we had nice, comfortable chairs to sit in while she zoomed around the yard. The house was very easy to find and easy to access. There were even a couple of balls we were welcome to use. Communication with the owner was swift and easy. And the price was so reasonable. Definitely worth it. We will be back.Marcie G.

FAQ about our Ann Arbor 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?
While public dog parks have a number of safety issues, such as aggressive dogs, disease transmission and general cleanliness, Sniffspot dog parks 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 guests so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog. 96% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Ann Arbor area are 5 stars.
How do I know if a dog park works for my dog?
You can filter Sniffspot dog parks by fencing and distractions. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our 382 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 41 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.
