Great place to do some indoor training or let your pup play when the weather outside is frightful. Will definitely be coming back as we both had a blast!

We had a great recent experience at Delaware Pet University!! We had plans to reunite our rescue with one of her puppies we had found through Embark (dog dna/ancestry site) but then could not meet at an outside Sniffspot with the forecast calling for torrential rain all day. This facility was a lifesaver! We didn't need to cancel our plans and were able to meet our dogs' puppy and its owner. The dogs were able to run and play indoors in a large/open space with artificial grass. We also got to stay dry while taking pictures and videos. We would recommend for anyone as a great space for their dogs to play, especially on a rainy or cold day. The staff was super helpful and friendly too; they provided clear instructions for parking and met us outside to welcome us and the dogs. Strongly recommend! Thank you!!

Great place for some indoor play time! (Especially during winter months). Had great equipment and wonderful staff. Large area was great space to run and even give my pup the chance to try different types of exercise (weaving, up and down objects, jumping over tires). Would absolutely be back!

We love the lake so much that we drive all the way from the city to let our pups swim! Thanks for letting us rent out your amazing property for an hour today - it's our favorite Sniffspot!

My dog Remy had a wonderful time running around! He loved the lake and the beach. The yard is well kept and clean and having a shady sitting area, water bowls and a hose was very welcome on a hot day. Perfect break for a water dog from the city! Thank you!

My husband & I visited with our 2 pups. We traveled about ~25 minutes to get to this spot. We rented the area for 2 hours. The girls had a blast! The owner’s listing was very informative beforehand & she even sent a message an hour before arrival with some additional details. The land is securely fenced in and well maintained. There is ample seating and tables, but we brought our own camping chairs and blanket for our picnic. There were 2 elevated pets beds outside for use (our oldest appreciated that!). The owner also provided a water bowl, access to water, and a waste area w/ tools if needed. We chose to bring our own water bowl & water. We did utilize the provided trash can for poop pickups. Our girls had so much fun running free and sniffing all the new smells. They also enjoyed romping around in the lake with the fishies. Overall, we had a wonderful experience and would come back again! Highly recommend this listing to others in the area!

Such a lovely spot! My city dogs loved the expansive grass to run on, the lake to explore, all the smells! It was blissfully quiet with not a soul to be found. Thank you for a lovely respite for my pups.

My digs had the best time. It was quiet and spacious and had lots of little areas for them to explore.

I arrived for the first time with my 100+lb. Labrador Retriever "Mensajero" this week. The Oasis was the perfect place for him too run, swim, dock jumping, and be free too roam around the large fenced in yard/acres. The host responds in a timely manner and informs every detail of what guests can and can not use. The lake was beautiful and I loved looking out at the Trees turning magnifigant fall colors which made the perfect fall portrait. There is no bathroom.. Which was ok for me but could be important to others... The town is in the process of building a WaWa near by... So there will be one close by at some point. Although Mensajero was to busy to rest, there are a couple elevated dog cots. Also available were toys, water dish, clean-up materials, seating for us humans, and more. Mensajero and I will positively visit again, and again. It was very peaceful and relaxing to me... A great place to detach from my busy schedule for awhile and to have that special bonding time with my big boy. I am so thankful to the host for offering such an oasis.

FAQ about our Newark 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.
