55My dogs loved it here! It was a perfect space for our 3 dogs to play fetch and run around. There was a bowl for water and a few balls around, which the dogs appreciated, and the yard was secure and in a quiet area. We’ll definitely be visiting again!Marisa K.

55Our two boxer girls had so much fun! Definitely big enough space for two dogs to run around and play fetch or chase each other. Host was kind and left bowl of water available and had plenty of seating. Fence is in great condition and definitely tall and secure. Ariana Z.

55Bridget’s yard is wonderful! The fence is tall and secure. It was quiet and peaceful. We went on a very hot day but her yard offers so much shade that my puppy could still play happily!Meredith H.

55Super quick, friendly communication with Bridget. The backyard was spotless, the perfect size, and her home was in an adorable neighborhood that was very easy to access from the freeway. We appreciated the cold, fresh water for the dogs too. Thanks for making our first sniffspot visit a positive one! Holly B.

55Excellent fenced in yard, I felt very secure knowing my year and 10 month puppy was safe. Yard is large with 1/4 having a very small decline. Most of the yard is flat with grass and some dirt. My dog chased the ball for a bit, but enjoyed just checking out the area and sniffing the unfamiliar area. Definitely will go back! Very nicely kept. Amy J.

55I booked this space to help tire out my high energy dog sitting clients during their stay with me. It was as described, spacious, safely fenced, had toys, and even a winter special of ice to chomp. A+ rating from me!Megan C.

55This is a great yard, perfect for running and fetch! Also an easy to get to location. The fence is secure. You can hear/sense dogs walking by on the street, so if your dogs are sensitive to that, it’s a consideration. Our dogs didn’t mind. They had a fantastic time!Kelly G.

55Lots of room to run - Raylan had a blast playing fetch and zooming around. The yard is clean and fence is in great shape. You can hear other dogs walking by on the street.

55No gaps beneath the fence and didn’t see or hear the resident dogs at all. It had rained recently but we didn’t see any muddy spots. Lovely spot with lots of seating. Thank you for sharing your great yard!Ashleigh T.

55Good sized yard, secured with ample running space for my two dogs. They had toys spread out in the yard but I do opt to bring my own (my puppy is in a chewing phase and rips toys apart/will eat anything). Highly recommend. Jill C.

FAQ about our Reading 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.
