We had a blast at Bear’s Den! Super clean, lots of space, great toys, all the amenities of a dog park without the usually dog park drama. Dogs were pooped out! Highly recommend.
55We had a great time visiting Bear’s Den! The yard is a great size with plenty of room for zoomies and playing. There was plenty of shade in the late afternoon for both people and pups. The hosts left out toys, poop bags, a big water bowl, and a sprinkler for the pups, and they even provided a speaker and a cooler with some drinks for the people. The fence was very secure and we felt completely safe and welcome during our visit. You do hear neighbors and other dogs around the neighborhood, but you cannot see them while in the space. Overall would definitely recommend!Jamie S.

55It was such a nice and quiet area for our pups! Not only did they provide tons of dog toys, but there were treats, a sprinkler, poop bags, water for the dogs, and even nice seating for us! They even brought out a towel for our dogs since we were using the sprinkler! This was my first experience with sniff spot, and our apartment pups LOVED it!!! Trinity C.

55Bear’s Den is enjoyable both for the doggos as well as the humans! Our host had a sprinkler system set up, a doggie pool, towels, toys and snacks out for the dogs. The people got water, a speaker, and a shaded seating area. The space is clean and well-maintained — ready for a day of fun. The area was spacious, and we and our dogs felt safe at Bear’s Den. This was a great first experience with Sniffspot and we’d love to come back to this place again! Elena E.

55My dog had a great time and it was nice not to worry about dog park and having to keep an eye out for potential hazards. Going again tomorrow! Thanks. Thoughtful host. My guy played the entire 90 minutes. JoAnn D.

5510/10 red experience. It was my first time using the service, and I would highly recommend it to anyone and especially the way in which that this spot is coordinated and organized. I was able to get a same day early in the morning time in and was accommodated with water and ice with snack for myself, and for my puppy, as well as hand sanitizer and adequate poop bags. I brought tons of toys but they had some already as well as a speaker system. I wouldn’t say that this could be any better. We had a wonderful experience and especially loved the pool and the sprinkler in and the agility tunnel which I will be coming back for without question. thank you so much and Cleo, my pup, and I, thank you!

55This was a perfect spot for our first Sniffspot!! The owner was very kind, extremely easy to communicate with, and offered different amenities (ex: agility course, toys). The backyard was well kept and clean. For a beautiful day outside, this Sniffspot made it extra fun. My dog was so excited to play catch and not having a leash to manage made it even better. My dog got tired fairly quickly so we had to take breaks, the backyard had a lawn chair to sit on for me and a bed for my dog to cool down on with the option to be in the shade or under the sun. We had a lot of fun and recommend this spot to others! Kristy S.

55Wonderful host and wonderful spot. My boy was so happy! He got to frolic through beautiful grass and he loved the toys in the yard. Probably the happiest I’ve ever seen him. Also felt very safe and secure, didn’t ever worry that my dog would get out or anything! Marissa M.

55This is our first time to any SniffSpot and we're glad we made Cholula's Backyard our first. Like other reviewers mentioned, it is clean, has water for both 4-legged and 2-legged creatures, pup toys, and just was an overall safe space for a semi-reactive dog to let loose. In typical Bruno Mars fashion (the dog, not the singer), he lost his mind the first 15 minutes before trying to eat all of Cholula's grass by the fence. I feel bad that he also tried to trample the flowers. Sorry, Reyna. Got his second wind later in the visit and got his zoomies out. We will return. Thank you, Cholula and Reyna for sharing your space.Rina K.

FAQ about our Prospect Heights 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.
