55The backyard is a calm and quiet oasis except for my two monkeys chasing each other around and around! They had so much fun and stopped several times to enjoy the cold water left by Dave. I sat in the shade and got to watch my two have fun!Rory R.

55We had such a great time here! My pups loved it. They were able to run around and smell everything off leash - while being super safe with a secure 6-foot fence! Plus, the hosts were super nice. We highly recommend & we'll be back :) Juliette F.

55This Sniffspot is lovely! Lots of great seating areas, and so much rooms for my dog to run around, even getting up to full speed (which is fast as he is a Whippet). Dave is a super friendly and accommodating host. Highly recommend this spot. I definitely plan to return. Jennie W.

55Dave offers a large, clean and well-manicured yard in a safe, quiet neighborhood. Secure and fully fenced with multiple seating options and wide-open space any pup would be thrilled to run around in. Penny had the best time and its great to know such a lovely safe space is so close to our apartment building. Laura C.

55Dave’s fenced yard is unbelievable. Your dog will be able to run and play and explore—it’s well manicured and huge—while you sit and relax in the shade. We drove out there from nyc and will do it again when we are back this way with our girl. Truly exceptional spot and Dave is a wonderful host. Piama G.

55We had an amazing time at this Sniffspot! The space was clean, well-maintained, and perfect for our dog to run and play freely. Dave, the host, was incredibly helpful and friendly, making sure everything was set up for a great visit. Our dog had a blast, and we thoroughly enjoyed our time there as well. We’re definitely planning on coming back and will be signing up for a membership if it’s available. Highly recommend!Mariana M.

55Dave’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! :) Bernice C.

FAQ about our Montclair 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.

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.
