55This is such a wonderful spot! It’s very spacious and the fencing is secure. It was exactly as described. Our visit was private and very enjoyable! The host was very responsive to messages and very accommodating. We had such a great time and we will definitely be back. Lindsay P.

55This spot is ENORMOUS and full of fun stuff for big dogs (or many dogs) to explore. Apollo didn’t want to leave! Hostess is kind and welcoming as well. We’ll be back! Chrissy B.

55This is one of our favorite spiff spots because it has wooded areas for exploring and lots of scents for my dog! She gets bored in the grass-only Sniffspots. Deandrea is great at communicating with us and making sure we have everything that we need and a good time while we’re there. Kirsten M.

55This sniff spot was amazing! My city dogs were so happy to have more space to run around and I didn’t have to worry about their not so reliable recall since it’s completely fenced in. I’ll definitely be coming back! Ania M.

55One Word: AMAZING. Deandrea place is honestly a blessing for my reactive pup. He was able to run freely and roam. She was very attentive to anything we needed and very sweet! Will be coming every other week moving forward. 🤩Kayla T.

55Great place for our Millie to run and roam. We live in an area with no fences allowed so this space is just what my hubbie and I needed for our "other" kid!Samiyyah E.

FAQ about our Matteson 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 Matteson 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 320 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 42 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.
