55What a glorious yard! We loved the little escape for our pups. Fencing was secure, parking easy and plenty of room to run their hearts out. The privacy fence was appreciated since I have a reactive foster. Instructions to access the yard are clear and we didn't see or hear the owner or their dogs which helped my foster to enjoy her time. Highly recommend you visit this spot! Tiffany K.

55We had a great time here! Ruger Man was tired after 30 minutes and is now relaxed and settled. Thanks so much for offering your safe backyard to people. It was very clean, easily accessible and very safe. Hopefully we will be back soon before our move. Elizabeth V.

55Everything was clean. Lots of space. They accommodated for me having a reactive dog as well by blocking out the sliding doors. Super grateful and will be visiting again soon!Zachary J.

55A beautiful space to sniff and run. We had a great time and are tired out now. Heard some kids off in the distance, but nothing close enough to bother my nervous girl. One small hole in fence, only a worry for a tiny dog. Jennifer M.

55Spacious, low key and secure, it was great to be able to let my pup run free for a little bit and not worry about distractions. I only did 30 min, mostly cause I was anxious about walking into someone's backyard I had never met, but it turned out to be a great experience. I would definitely come back! Michael C.

55Wonderful SniffSpot for my two pibbles. The host provided fresh water for them and there were plenty of toys to play with.
The sun was out and Bennett did a little sunbathing on the deck.Kerri L.

55We had lots of fun! The yard was mostly secure, though the gate tried swinging open a couple of times due to the wind.
There were lots of toys in the yard of all sizes, and not a huge yard but plenty of space for dogs of any size to run and enjoy the enclosed space. Thanks for having us!Erika C.

FAQ about our Carol Stream 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?
