55My sister and I brought Ellie, my Jack Russell rescue, to this spot for the first time today. She had so much fun doing what she loves to do — running, sniffing, exploring, without any restraint! The site was clean and the fence was secure everywhere — a high priority for me. We had a great time! We all ranked the hour a “win!” Thanks again for opening your lovely properly to doggies who need some good off-leash time. She came home tired in the best possible way.Beth M.

55Another great visit with the pups! Ran, explored and sniffed more this time if possible! We walked around the “outside” fenced perimeter, which was freshly cut and almost like a trail in woods with plenty of space for running, plus it offered shade! And this time I discovered the hammock swing toward the front of the house, very relaxing for me while pups sniffed around! Two fresh bowls of water was great for dogs on this hot day and plenty of toys!Samantha F.

55Very friendly host (we only interacted by text). Nice property, securely fenced all around, so comfortable letting my dog off leash (he can’t be trusted otherwise!). Played some fetch, which was a little more difficult because of the double fenced section. And his ball rolled through/underneath the outer fence a couple times. But all manageable. Would definitely return and maybe bring one of his canine friends so they could play together. Scott S.

55This was my first time using sniffspot for my 2 golden retrievers and I picked this lovely location! It is absolutely perfect and my pups had so much fun running and exploring! There is a great inner fenced area and then the rest of the property is fenced as well for additional running and sniffing! Very secure fencing! There is plenty of shade, the grass was cut and the yard was in good shape. We enjoyed hanging on the deck and using the swing set! The host put out 2 fresh bowls of water and there were toys and tennis balls for the pups. Will be visiting again and highly recommend!!🐶🐶Samantha F.

FAQ About Hockessin Dog Parks
