55The yard was HUGE and the pool was really nice for swimming. It was a nice temperature and had firm steps for the dogs to enter the pool easily. The host was really hospitable and provided life jackets for the dogs, poop bags, clearly labeled poop disposal bin, water and bowls, etc. Overall, had a great time and will definitely be back!

55Leslie’s yard is amazing! Big, beautiful lawn with lots of room to run, and plenty of shade to be found when needed. We didn’t use the pool but that was also beautiful and seemed to have everything a pup would need to be safe and have fun! We really appreciated the well-stocked water and poop cleanup stuff too. We will definitely be back! 🤎Kerra H.

55Oakley had a great time at his first Sniffspot! Leslie’s place was amazing and everything was exactly as described. Oakley was able to swim in a pool which is one of his favorite things to do and we took advantage of the large yard to play frisbee. Will definitely be back!Andrew D.

55I took my dog to a private playground, and it was honestly the best experience we’ve had in a long time! The space was clean, fully fenced, and safe—giving my pup the freedom to run, explore, and just be a dog without any stress. It was peaceful, private, and perfect for one-on-one playtime. You could really tell the area was well cared for, and the setup made it feel like our own personal doggy oasis. Highly recommend to any dog parent looking for a fun, secure, and relaxing outing for their fur baby. We’ll definitely be back!

55Really great spot; all the good reviews are right! The space is really big, well set up, and clean. We brought our rescue greyhound here so she could swim for the first time. The pool is great, and there are even doggie lifevests and towels. Our advice for other first time swimmers is to be ready to help your dog down the steps into the pool, as they are a bit steep and our Flora didnt expect that. Sebastian E.

55Can I give this space and experience Infiniti out of 10?? The attention to detail is everything. The bamboo lining along the fence made me smile so much as a nature lover. There were poop bags and toys, and even a gazebo where you could take pictures with/and of your dog was amazing. They even had several choices of treats in the gazebo. I didn’t include the pool because it was just me and you have to have one person per dog, which is fine obviously you wanna make sure every dog is being watched. The way I was overjoyed being able to watch my terminally ill dog walk around off leash and just explore is beyond words for me. I’m so grateful for people like Leslie, who are willing to open up a portion of their home to create memories that will last forever. I will definitely be going back sooner than later. 10/10….highly recommend Rose M G.

55Leslie’s place was awesome and we’re already planning a return visit. The backyard is huge and well kept so it was completely fun and safe for our dog to run around. We also used the pool and everything was clean, organized, and safe so we didn’t have to worry about a thing. There was a lot of attention to detail to our booking request and everything we could use was clearly labeled so we could make the most of our time. Rae i.

55This was my first sniff spot adventure. The backyard is the best. A well-maintained - large yard, a gazebo that’s super breezy when you want to take a break and of course the pool is amazing. Life vests are key. She even provides an igloo filled with cool water. I would like to go back soon, but she is so popular, the next few weeks are booked. my only complaint was on a personal level because my grand dog does better in environments when there are other dogs to play with. So next time I will bring a playmate for him Mary M.

555 Stars – Absolutely Amazing Experience!
I can’t say enough great things about Sniffspot! This service is a total game-changer for dog owners. We rented a yard with a pool, and it was everything we hoped for and more. The space was spotless, secure, and thoughtfully designed with dogs in mind. Our pup had the time of their life running, playing, and cooling off in the pool—it was pure joy watching them have that kind of freedom and fun.
The host was incredibly welcoming and responsive, and you could tell they genuinely cared about creating a safe and happy environment for dogs. The amenities were top-notch: shaded areas, fresh water, toys, and plenty of room to explore. It felt like a private dog paradise!
If you’re looking for a safe, clean, and fun space for your dog to run free, I highly recommend giving Sniffspot a try. It’s a fantastic way to give your dog a little adventure—and a big smile.

FAQ About West Caldwell 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.
