55She was great!! Accommodated my three girls and I very last minute. We wanted to stay 1.5 hrs but two of girls are very reactive and there was a neighbor doggy causing them to stress and react so we cut it down to one hour. However, they had a great time!! Alejita M.

55Great space and the dogs had a good time exploring. Some other dogs had left presents and it took a little "watchful stepping" but everything was good overall. The host was super friendly and accommodating, adjusting the time when I thought it was going to rain during our booked time. I was very grateful. Noel S.

55Good sized yard, well maintained. My dogs loved getting to run and splash freely and it was nice for us to take a dip too! Lots of seating and shade to relax while the pups chase new toys and smell new smells. Billie S.

55LOVE! The fence is a full 6’ privacy fence, yard is very clean, and the host is incredibly responsive and accommodating. There’s a ton of space for sniffing and sprinting around the yard. There were supplies and toys set out along with some snacks for us. The baby pool was also clean and full for us. Parking is very easy and the puppy portholes in the fence are absolutely adorable. Will definitely be coming back :) Mara J.

55The loveliest spot. The fence is very sturdy and secure. The visual barrier is great for dog reactive dogs like mine. I was running late and didn't get to grab any tennis balls or water for my pups, but those things were provided and it was very helpful. Super nice yard and super thoughtful host. Would definitely return!Cassie U.

55Clean, quiet, peaceful. Lots of room for zoomies and recalls! The slates in the fence might not work for very small dogs, but secure. Loved our visit. Cynthia H.

FAQ about our Sterling 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.
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.

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 Sterling Heights area are 5 stars.

You can filter Sniffspot dog parks by fencing and distractions. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our 356 fully fenced dog parks in the area.
