Great size yard with plenty of space to do zoomies!

As always, we love Nicole’s spot!

Spacious, clean, and dog friendly backyard! My pup had a blast chasing balls. Definitely coming back!

Carol L.

The shade, table and chairs made this space very comfortable. Thank you Nicole.

Great new host very willing to make your visit enjoyable! Tall trees on one side provide privacy from the neighbors, and the street side is great for watching the sunset. Only one person walked by as it’s a busy street, and Deborah confirms foot traffic is rare. Spacious enough for my big Bubba to get his zoomies out. She let us use her hose, and turned on the lights as the days are getting shorter. We’ll be back!

Katie G.

August 2024

Perfect spot for an afternoon hangout! We brought 2 dogs and it was perfect. Shady, nice seating, and plenty of smells. There’s a white picket fence in the front that’s reinforced with a wire mesh. We’ll be back!

Great place! Super Clean - owner super kind leaving a water bowl outside for our dog in a very hot day. Small details make a huge difference.

Movina L.

September 2024

Highly recommend this yard! Easy to access, plenty of space to run & play, comfortable seating, and they were kind enough to leave out water. We’ll be back for sure, thank you for opening your yard to us!

Lia Z.

September 2024

Wonderful yard, very quiet and spacious with lots of interesting things to sniff and explore. My dog spent the entire time smelling everything! The host left out a bowl of clean water, which my dog appreciated. I like that the main gate is set far back from the sidewalk. All the fencing is reinforced with chicken wire and very secure. Plenty of parking and I was able to walk my reactive dog in the neighborhood after we left with no issues. We will be back!

Coco Nicole C.

October 2024

I loved this spot and so did my dogs. There’s a nice comfy place to sit and many birds chirping. It was beautiful. The yard is long and perfect for throwing the ball to my dog as well.

Kin F.

October 2024

Excellent space! Great attention to detail by the owner - they have actual Sniffspot signs set up making it extremely easy to find the gates. Additionally, the yard is set up with wire mesh to block gaps. The owners clearly understand what it's like to live with escape artists. Worth noting - the front fence is about 3 feet tall and dogs can see through it. When we were there, there was no foot traffic so there were no issues. The yard is spacious with good seating. There is a lot of variation between the trees, plants, seating area, and walking areas giving our dogs plenty of interesting things to sniff and explore. We enjoyed our time running around with the dogs and plan to come back!

Karen J.

November 2024

My dog and I are so happy! Great yard, a nice fresh bowl of clean water, comfy places to sit and easy peasy parking! We can’t wait to come back.

Andrea F.

November 2024

It was a great spot with plenty of space to run around. We were grateful for the rubber ball and the water bowl!

Kim R.

February 2023

What a great new spot! Easy to park and to get in and out. Yard is clean and safely maintained, perfect for any sized dog to throw a ball and get out the zoomies. Wish we had something similar closer to us in the city but easy 20-ish minute drive to Skokie from ravenswood. Look forward to returning!

Desi T.

February 2023

Another great trip! We brought our best friend Josie this time and there’s so much room for big zooms and also independent rest spots.

Ananda B.

March 2023

Easy in, safe and secure! My golden had lots of space and chased some balls. Clean as well! Can’t wait to book again!

Rafaella G.

March 2023

Thisis such a terrific spot. My dog ran, investigated every nook and cranny and found lots of areas to sniff. The yard is very clean and spacious. There was plenty of street parking and it was easy to find.

Kin F.

March 2023

Excellent place, though note that cars and people are visible through the back fence. Love the space and will be back!

Harlem and I had a blast in your backyard as usual and will be back for more fun soon!

FAQ about our Skokie 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.
