55This was my first sniffspot ever, and I was quite impressed. The hosts provided us with water, toys, treats, and they also took care of the poop I picked up from my dog. They came out to greet us (they seem to be very kind and friendly people) and then let us be. My dog enjoyed the spacious area full of lots of smells and ran around. There was also plenty of shade to rest in. As a last good note, the fence was quite high so my dog could not escape. The only issue I had was that when we first arrived, their dog had escaped into the sniffingspot before we got into the enclosed area. Even so, the hosts took care of the issue promptly and there were no more problems. As I was their first ever guest, I’m certain this won’t be a recurring problem for future ones. I will definitely be frequenting this spot again.Cecelia K.

55Just wanted to mention that in my last review, I had false information in it. Apparently I arrived fairly early without realizing it until much later, so that was why the host’s dog was in the yard. In the end I really have nothing to complain about!Cecelia K.

55We just moved from 2 acres to an apartment while we wait for our new home to be built. My one pup is reactive as can be, plus the "dog park" here is tiny. Sniffspot and Emily to the rescue!! Nestled in a nice suburban neighborhood, just a house with a big square fenced in backyard! Emily has left some toys to toss, in case you forget your own. My guys had a great time running and playing off leash! We will defo be visiting this site again!Kelly C.

55My two border collies had the best time roaming and running free. The privacy and hr of time is magical. And so better than a dog park with too many worries and concerns. SNIFFSPOT makes this all so easy to find the right place for you & your K9’s . The app is so easy to use. Wonderful to have found SNIFFSPOT . My borders will be weekly regulars at a SNIFFSPOT place!

55This was easily the best Sniffspot I have ever been to. Fenced in 6 acres for my dogs to run their hearts out. I have a very active two dogs that never seem to get tired but this definitely did the trick. Beautiful pond views from the park, brought food for a picnic and enjoyed the farm. Best of all was able to spend the rest of our day in nearby Gettysburg after our visit, already booked my next visit Jennifer R.

55What an amazing oasis! This property is so much nicer than any house we’ve rented! The pool is large, deep and has entries that dogs can use at both ends. It was decorated for July 4 and everything was so festive. It is very private, and there is a large grassy open yard behind the pool. 10 stars!! This was our first sniff spot and it will be hard to beat this gorgeous yard and home. Ample seating in sun and shade. I would not change a thing!Amy S.

55John & Betsy’s Sniffspot was wonderful!! We were so impressed. There was plenty of green space for our boy to run. The pool was absolutely wonderful. The entire property was very well maintained.There were toys, a pet first aid kit, water, poop bags and treats provided for our boy. We were so shocked to find a little surprise left for us as well (two drinks, a bag of snacks and a Happy 4th of July message)! Everything was so thoughtfully done. We had a wonderful time, and will definitely be back. I don’t think there could be a better Sniffspot than this one!!! Jessica N.

55Our pups had a great time! This place was massive, so my working dogs had lots of room to not only swim, but to play fetch in the backyard. The pool is concrete on the inside as well, so I recommend clipping your dogs’ nails before coming or else they’d break them like my pups did. There is a shady area for humans to hang out too, with a fan that kept the area cool. All in all, the BEST Sniffspot in the area! Alexandria K.

FAQ about our Carlisle 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.
Are dog parks safe?
While public dog parks have a number of safety issues, such as aggressive dogs, disease transmission and general cleanliness, Sniffspot dog parks much safer than public dog parks. With Sniffspot all bookings are private for just you and dogs you bring with you and we require all dogs to be vaccinated (or have equivalent titers). All Sniffspot locations are vetted and reviewed by guests so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog. 95% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Carlisle area are 5 stars.
How do I know if a dog park works for my dog?
You can filter Sniffspot dog parks by fencing and distractions. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our 187 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 9 off leash areas where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can also filter locations to avoid other domestic animals and people. We also recommend reading reviews and reaching out to the host with any questions.
