55Huge backyard with a fun bucket of toys (my pup loved the bone) and a bunch of space to sniff around. You might be able to hear the owners pup but you won’t see it. Also parking that’s not on the street!!! The owner is very nice and has water and poop bags as well. Delia K.

55Great yard with lots of room to run and sniff! Nice to have off street parking. Fresh water. Owner was very sweet, definitely an animal lover. Didn't hear her dogs inside. Toys and sticks for Fletcher to play with. Comfy swing for me to sit in while he smelled everything. Lori S.

55We had a great time at Sid's! The yard was great for running around and playing. There were lots of fun sights and sounds from wind chimes which my dog enjoyed watching and listening to. I was concerned about it being in a busier street, but we didn't see anyone walk by while we there, let alone any other dogs. We will be visiting again!Celeste H.

55Sid's yard is great for a medium-sized dog to run. My dog Jin had a great time exploring the whole yard and loved playing fetch with one the squeaky toy balls already there. A little precarious in winter conditions in some spots (some small objects frozen into the snow, etc), but a large portion of the yard is a clear area for running and playing. The main street on one side can be busy with traffic and I saw one passing dog walker in my time there, but the yard was large enough that it was fairly easy to ignore. Off street parking is a major plus as well. We will be back to frolic in the snow, and I'm sure the warmer months will be even lovelier.Anna C.

55Sid is friendly and kind, and has a great yard for pups to run around in! Due to the season, it was a little icy out so take caution when chasing after balls with your pup. Mackenzie L.

55Nice big yard! I can’t wait to see it when there’s less snow. There is a lot of traffic in the street and a lot of dogs on leashes passed by and there are quite a few neighborhood dogs. It wasn’t an issue for us but more reactive dove may have issues.Haley N.

55Sid is great with dogs! I have a dog that suffered a trauma and she’s aggressively scared of humans. Sid understands how to approach and win over
scared doggies.She’s great! Not long after we arrived my dog was comfortable with Sid and her two nice doggos and they teared around the big yard together! It’s a great yard for sniffers! We’ll be back often! Pam W.

55Lovely, mostly shaded yard! Had a box full of toys that my dog loved! There is a nice sitting area with chairs and a hammock. Fully fenced and felt cozy and safe. There are two holes in the yard that my dog tried to dig in, so if you don’t want your dog getting dusty from two dirt holes, I don’t recommend. But otherwise it was so lovely. Jonae H.

55We enjoyed our experience. It felt like a safe and calm space for our rescue pup, who is dealing with reactivity. We were at Angela’s in the afternoon and had no issues. There was space for our pup to run and the fence was tall enough for her. No visibility of other dogs or animals (besides normal squirrels). Unfortunately, we didn’t take pics! We would book again for our pup as it was closer to home :) Laura A.

Angela's 0.5 Acre Fully Fenced Private Dog Park In Saint Paul | Sniffspot
55The yard was nicely enclosed with a high fence, and the area felt private and enclosed. It was a great space for my rescue dog to explore, sniff, and play fetch. There was also a water bowl and chairs, a nice touch! The surrounding area was nice to explore too, with a nearby park. Parking was easy and convenient, and the entrance was easy to find. We’ll definitely be returning! Cristina C.

55Tinaisha’s place is fantastic. The yard is big enough to tire out my German shepherd after 45 minutes of fetch. The yard is kept clean and safe. Lastly, Tinaisha is a great host! My dog and I will definitely be back. Vanessa S.

FAQ about our Saint Paul 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.
