555/5! This yard is SO NICE!!!!! It’s bigger than it looks in the pictures. It is clean and well-kept and the fence is secure. There are big shady trees and a nice patio with a table, chairs, and umbrella (and even a cooler with drinks!!!) for humans. For the dogs, there were poop bags, toys, treats, a bed, kiddie pool, and a large bowl of water. Disco had a blast running the length of the yard and chasing all the toys. He will sleep well today!
The neighbors have dogs that were out when we got there but they put them away. The spot owner was very communicative and friendly and showed us how to get in the gate. Susie O.

55Huge yard, lots of room to play & run! Neighbor was out when I arrived & said they’d keep their dogs in while my dog was there. Wow, that was super nice! Sniffspot had a little kiddie pool & between that & the huge yard we were all set! Nice amenities & lovely seating area on patio. We really enjoyed it! Thank you. Corrinne E.

55This spot was perfect for my doggie. We have a small yard so it was great to see her run through the yard. Tessa left all the necessities and then some! Looking forward to coming back.Jacqueline P.

55This yard is so cute and had everything we needed for our pup to have a great time! She loved playing with the toys in the yard and frolicking in the grass. The fence was secure and high enough to provide plenty of privacy. The host is super sweet, highly recommend this sniffspot! Courtney R.

55Alisha's yard was perfect for a doggie meet up! Nice and private and securely fenced in. It was great for my dog who just wants to zoom around outside with her friends. Melissa F.

55The spot is lovely and well-fenced. A neighbor was watering plants in the yard next door and I have an extremely reactive foster dog. However, since the fence is high and made of wood slats, my dogs didn't see the lady well enough to get stressed. Tons of toys which was fun for my dogs to find. Tiffany K.

55This yard is entirely enclosed in a wooden security fence providing for a safe and private experience for us and our pup. There were toys and sticks in the yard, which our dog loved. (especially the sticks!). The host provides a private entrance and we were not disturbed by anyone coming through the yard during our visit. All of this made for a great experience for our reactive dog. We'll be back!Una S.

55We have come here a couple times now with our reactive dog and have had a great time! The place is completely enclosed with tall fences and a private entrance. My dog loved the space to run around in and enjoyed all of the toys in the yard as well! The only minor issue we ran into was using the key the first time for the gate - you have to get the key just right (basically just don’t have it pushed all the way in). We will definitely be returning again soon! Jessica B.

55OMG SO MUCH FUN! We had the best time. It is so quiet there and the yard is so well maintained. Alisha kindly shared some toys with us too, thank you! We cannot wait to come back again! We brought our own kiddy pool for Aster to play in and they have a sprinkler hook-up as well!Stephanie C.

55We had so much fun playing in Alisha’s yard! Our pups were tired a few minutes into our 30 minutes from getting to run around. Was super cute and private - no one came in or out while we were there which was perfect for our dog who is fearful of strangers. We will definitely be back!tiffany j.

55Great little backyard to just let our dog go crazy!
He had a lot of fun and enjoyed all of the toys that were available!
There was a small bin that looked like it might have been for waste, but we weren’t sure if that was the intent so we took it with us.
Would definitely recommend!Alan S.

55This yard was so spacious and lively! The host was very kind and gave our pup everything she needed to have a great time. The fence was the perfect height for our 30 pound Australian cattle dog. The puppy slept for the rest of the day! Courtney R.

FAQ about our West Chicago 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?
