55The area is clean and safe. Lots of room for your dog to run and play, exercise or train. David left some fresh water and treats for my pup. It was also nice to have a chair to sit in and listen to music while my Hugo played!Andrea R.

55David’s yard was easy to access. We couldn’t find our dogs own balls to throw for him and all of the toys that they had for the visiting dogs were really unbelievable . They were very, very hospitable to us. The backyard was clean and our dog was very happy. David was very accommodating with the time available.Lesli R.

55What a terrific Sniffspot. Tess has a blast. Much going on in the roomiest space. Trees, open grass space, cement patio and shade.
Nextdoor, on both sides, live friendly dogs, too. Tess sprints the length of the yard with them. A wading pool was left to use too. The yard is super secure. I have a place to sit shaded, too.
5 🌟!
Oh, the host is outstanding.

FAQ About Gurnee 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.
