55Nice space for Tessi. It was a warm day, but tessi found shade by the fençe and I, under the umbrella.
Yes. There was a little bit of old , small poops but I took a few steps and cleared the spot.
Tess loved the yard and found a rope toy to tug.
No bees in the yard! Yay!
So bring water, toys, bags... A very convient locale.
The new wood door was a bit fussy to open, but the owner helped me open.
Yes, we will be back. Teresa M.

55Quiet , roomy space. Tall fence and very secure. Very hot and sunny but fencing and umbrella provides shade. Poop bags were available and clean water bowls. I brought my own ice water. Tessa is part camel.
Cool visit.

55Chris and his family (and his neighbors 😊) made Apollo and me feel so welcome, I forgot to take pics to post with my review! It’s a great sized yard with Apollo-proof plants and shrubs to plow through (he’s tore up a tulip or two in other manicured yards which can be embarrassing 😬). This spot is a steal with all its amenities. There’s a hose, a pool, and plenty of obstacles to dodge in a good zoomie sesh. I’ll post pics when we go back, which will be very soon given the temperatures in the near forecast! ☀️ 🔥 🐶 💦 Chrissy B.

55I am so happy about this latest addition to my SniffSpots.
I met the owner briefly and he toured the details with me
It is very hot and humid so I knew Tess would be lower energy.
There is so much to discover and explore on the property and she
barely acknowledged my existence… it’s a good thing.
A trusty tennis ball caught her instincts here and there but nature ultimately caught her nose and into the wildflowers and grasses. Home Sweet Home.
Wonderful green space, lots of running room and hiding spots.
We will return soon. PM Thanks!Teresa M.

55The owner was super friendly , the backyard was big and beautiful with lots of places for bird dogs to sniff and explore . The pool was an added bonus we didn’t even know we would take advantage of! Each one of our 3 got to enjoy their favorite things without in each others space and we can’t wait to go again!Nancy M.

55Chris' yard is great for a dog! There are tons of little pathways for your dog to sniff / wander around, a nice aluminum pool, and tons of shady areas. Chris is very accommodating as well, and had water and everything we needed all set up for us when we arrived. There are two dogs next door through the chain link fence, and they were out when we arrived, but my dog didn't mind them. Marjorie W.

55Tess spends the first half of the visit sniffing and searching.
While I take satisfaction seeing her sprint for her tennis balls , I see the sniffing feeds her dog soul. There are many layers to the yard. Lotsa chase space. Teresa M.

55This was a great spot for the whole family! Fantastic host! Very friendly and inviting. Had swings for my 2 year old daughter to enjoy while our dog got to run around and play fetch. Pool was super nice for him to cool down in and the yard was clean! He was even able to hide under the trampoline to get some relief from the sun. Nick W.

FAQ about our Evanston fully fenced dog parks
Are fully fenced dog parks safe?
While public dog parks have a number of safety issues, such as aggressive dogs, inattentive owners, disease transmission and general cleanliness, Sniffspot dog parks are much safer than public dog parks. Human and animal safety is our #1 focus. Without a private option, many dog owners are relegated to using athletic fields or tennis courts for their dogs, which are not private or safe. 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. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits are 5 stars. And with fully fenced Sniffspot parks, you can get the safety of a fenced-in space for dogs, while still having plenty of space to run.
How can I find fully fenced dog parks in Evanston?

How do I know if a fully fenced dog park works for my dog?
Many people looking for fully fenced parks have dogs that are not good with voice control. Start by applying basic filters, such as fences height and distractions, to find a dog park that works for your dog. You can see attributes of fences such as height, gaps and fencing type to find the perfect fenced-in space for dogs. You can filter by size to make sure you have plenty of space, or a smaller space if you prefer a neighborhood park. You can browse on a map by park location to find one in your city or near your city. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our off-leash areas where there are no dogs audible or visible near the space. Make sure to review the amenities of the spot to check features you want for your activity, such as fresh water, trail features such as soft trails or walking trails, or even water fountains. If you prefer wood chips, many of our parks have wood chips or indoor space if you prefer a beautiful park building.
What are the requirements to bring my dog to a Sniffspot fully fenced dog park?
We require that all dogs have basic vaccinations or equivalent titers. We do not permit use by pregnant dogs and we do not permit dogs with a bite history. We require that guests sign our waiver and agree to follow our safety rules, such as staying within the designated off-leash areas. Each park location also has their own set of rules that guests need to follow, such as limiting excessive barking.
Will there be other dogs at the Sniffspot fully fenced dog park at the same time as me?
Sniffspot only allows one booking at a time and any host dogs are required to be kept away from the spot during visits. We also enforce 30 min time buffers between bookings.
