Ben's Fully Fenced Yard For Dogs To Rent In Dover | Sniffspot
55Ben's yard was exactly what I needed! There were plenty of exciting places for the two dogs that I'm pet-sitting to sniff and explore. Tessa helped dig in a hole that had already been started, and Tucker was sure to inspect every pile of leaves. They were wiped when we got home! There were only a couple sounds from one of the neighboring houses. I loved the balls, poop bags, treats, and other things that were available in the box next to the gate and Ben was very kind as to offer the use of the water bowls next to the hose. The driveway pulls right up to the fence that enters the yard so it wasn't hard to find. I came after dark but everything was very straightforward and secure so I didn't have any trouble. Thank you!Anna Y.

Ben's Fully Fenced Yard For Dogs To Rent In Dover | Sniffspot
55Had a great visit to Ben’s yard!! Ben was great to work with and great to communicate with, which so loved!
It was the perfect size yard for my girls to run and get their energy out! The yard was very clean and the fencing was secure. We have two small dogs under 20 pounds each and they were perfectly safe! There are a couple of spots with the fence that a really small dogs could potentially get out but it was not an issue for our girls. My elderly Mom loved the places to sit and she was safely able to navigate the yard. The super sweet neighbor who was doing yard work came over to say hi and was very friendly. We could see a few people walk past on the road and my little girl barked a bit at them but it was a very brief time when each passed.
We had a great visit and are looking forward to going back to let the girls play!Cheryl T.

55I chose the treat hunt add on for my dogs today and they loved it! They sniffed the entire yard many times over and finally laid down and listened to the sounds in the yard for the last several minutes. This was the perfect add on and I will be booking again!Sarah R.

55LOVE the human/dog bug spray. Didn’t find one tick on either of us. And the spray smelt good and felt way less gross than usual bug spray. They’re so accommodating it’s amazing Abby H.

55Another great time! Thank you for offering the 30 minute option we find that she wears herself out in the first 20 minutes than waits by the gate to go home because she is so tired 🤣 30 minutes was perfect until she can build up her endurance Dena C.

55Our dog had a great time. What a nice fenced-in spot. We brought our own toys, treats and water, but there’s a clean water bowl and clean toys, as well as treats and other fun extras, available. Our dog was unsure about the ramp, but I bet other dogs would love it!! Thank you! Heather A.

FAQ About Dover 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.
