Dave’s place was wonderful! Both of my dogs had a great time sniffing and running around. His backyard was extremely clean! We will be returning the next time we visit Montclair.

Beautiful spot for our two big dogs to run around and get some energy out. They loved it. The host was so nice and made sure we had everything we needed. I would definitely come back to this sniff spot.

Dave’s yard is the ultimate SniffSpot! It’s spacious, well-maintained, and quiet — exactly what we need for our anxious rescue pup to feel comfortable and completely free being outdoors. There’s ample seating for owners—we brought lunch to go and ate on the picnic table—and paying extra for the heat lamp was totally worth it. It made us forget all about the cold. Five stars all around! :)

We have been a member of Dave’s spot for more than a year now, and it’s always been a fantastic experience. Dave consistently keeps the spot clean and convenient with great access to amenities. My dog, Rocky, absolutely loves it here—it’s his favorite place to release all his energy for the week. It truly feels like his second home!

Dave’s place is fantastic and we had a GREAT time. This place offered everything I could ask for and I will be re-visiting very soon with no doubt. Extremely clean and spacious yard with plenty of seatings for human companions too!

Our three rambunctious doggos loved running in the snow and racing to fetch the ball! As always, great experience. Clean, easy to get in and out, perfectly fenced in.

Thank you again! They had a fun time. Your private dog park is big, secure, clean, and simple entrance/exit. Just so perfect. Much appreciate.

Super nice place. Fully fenced. Quiet. You will hear a train here and there that can make your dogs bark but other than that, it’s a great yard. Nice size. Tennis balls available. I believe the only water bowls are given by the owner, who you will meet, super nice guy! I didn’t see poop bags either but we had our own. Just a heads up for those who visit! We will be back :)

This was the nicest spot we’ve visited so far- clean and good instructions to get in the back. And Dave even brought his dog out to play with my dog!! He obviously asked if my dog was friendly first- we’ll definitely be back

The place was great. So much space for my dog to run and enjoy himself. There were plenty of toys when we got there also. Dave was very kind! Will definitely be booking again!

My dogs and I had a fantastic time at this backyard! The space was beautifully kept, with grass perfect for running and a delightful array of toys that kept my pups entertained. It was a true doggy paradise. What truly made the experience exceptional was the owner's kindness. When we forgot water, they graciously came out to chat and provide some, a thoughtful gesture we greatly appreciated. The peaceful atmosphere was a welcome escape from our 'concrete jungle', and we left feeling refreshed and eager to return. Thank you Dave and family for sharing your space with us!

The pups had an AMAZING time here!! The yard was big and clean, there were toys/balls/frisbees for the dogs to play with, and the property was fully fenced with a very high privacy fence. We'll definitely be back!
