55The sniffspot was fantastic. My dog enjoyed wandering around and sniffing stuff. She's always very anxious in new places so this wasn't an exception but since it was totally fenced in I was able to let her get her anxieties out without the added pressure of being on leash. Will definitely be coming back. Stephanie T.

55My wife and I have two dogs who like to run and explore. This place was amazing for them. So much room to run in fully fenced area I can't say enough good things about it. We can't wait to go back. The host provided water bowls, waste disposal basket, benches and chairs galore, raised beds for the dogs, docks to enjoy the water... Everything was super clean and neat and well kept! The experience was much better than we expected, just a perfect day with our pups! Great communication with the host too! Highly recommend! Steven M.

55I have a small dog, a Chihuahua/Jack Russell Terrier mix. He had a blast! He is used to condo living and taking walks, so this fenced in yard allowed him the opportunity to run around, play fetch, and have a great time. When we went to enter, we couldn't get in, as the gate was locked from the inside. I rang the doorbell and the host came to greet us and allow us in the yard. He was courteous and kind. There was a small pen with three ducks inside the yard, but it was enclosed so the dogs couldn't access. Make sure to walk around the yard, as there is a little gap in the fence near the back of the yard a small dog could escape. I found something in the yard to put in front of it so the dog could not escape. Overall, a pleasant experience!Robert H.

55Fantastic spot!! Roxann left so many toys out in her spacious yard, and the dog pool is so fun. The area is quiet, and the yard is very private. We’ll definitely be back! Caitlin A.

55My two dogs absolutely loved the backyard. It was the perfect size and location. It had all we needed (balls, doggie poop bags, other toys, a doggy pool). So perfect! We will definitely make this a routine to come a few times a month. Thank you so much for the incredible experience! Annabel B.

55This yard was lovely! It was nicely maintained, including the tall, secure fence. We arrived to bowls filled with cold fresh water, and an assortment of balls and sticks! There was plenty of shade. We were there at 3:30 on a weekday and found parking easily on Ivy St, super close to the house. The house had a Sniffspot sign and it was clear where to enter the yard. Great experience.Suzanne H.

55This was our first time trying sniff spot and it did not disappoint! Everything was just as described in the host listing and my dog absolutely loved it. The fencing was high and secure- reassuring for me! Beautiful yard with plenty of space for a larger dog to play and explore. Loved that water and tennis balls were included! Will definitely be booking this spot again!Jean S.

FAQ about our New Castle 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.
