55This was a great spot for my boy to stretch his legs! Lots of trees and bushes to sniff. Mosquitos were minimal (bug spray thoughtfully provided). There are small gaps at the gate closures, so if someone had a very small dog (like >10lbs) they could possibly slip out. Not an issue for us though. A very successful first trip on Sniffspot!Jodi M.

55A very nice yard to run and play! Unfortunately my guy was scared of all of the traffic sounds from it being on a busy road and he didn’t get much play time in. But we were able to relax a bit and sniff around! Megan C.

55We absolutely loved it here! We took our two dogs here. Fully fenced and had mosquito repellant very handy. Tons of space for our dogs to run to their hearts desire. Will definitely be visiting again!Xochitl O.

55Good place for the dogs, mostly quiet, just the road is very close. Place is secure enough to contain dogs. We got little unlucky and someone was picking up some weeds/flowers near the fence and my dog is reactive, but otherwise place is quite enough! Silvia B.

55Easy to find/ location is by a busy road so if your doggie doesn’t do well with that than not for you.
My dog explored and sniffed a lot enjoyed running trough out the yard. Shady spots lots of trees but places to sit if wanted sun. Host left out bug spray and there was a hose for water. Great yard to relax as Buddy plays. 5 stars for me.

55This was beyond perfect for my pups! So much space to run around without a care in the world. They especially loved the little wooded area in the back corner that is within the fenced in area. The host had a clean water bowl out with water in it and offered to use his hose to refill it! This is a perfect yard for any dog without a trigger to cars/high traffic area. Other than that, no other dogs/animals around. Minus a few birds. We will definitely be back ☺️Brittney G.

55Great space for running, fetching and relaxing in shady areas. Fun wooded area in back. Some gaps in gate could be easy for mini doggies to squeeze through.
Read other reviews and saw that someone has a male version of my pup! Same age too. Wish I could reach other sniff spot users for a play date!
Thank you Kevin for sharing your yard with us! Maggie G.

55Great spot! Only thing is that ywo of my dogs decided to try to explore beneath the deck, but I was able to recall them just fine. We will definitely be back! This was my first time using sniffspot and it was a good experience. I had a stroller with me, and it was a bit difficult to get it where it needed to go, but purely based on the dogs, it was a good, quiet place to let the dogs run and play and explore. Kamiko K.

55My pups were able to run free!! It was a huge space, a fun little wooded area in the corner, water with bowl available and a garbage can for waste bags. My girls had so much fun! I agree with other reviews that there are a few places in the fence that small dogs may be able to escape but fine for medium to larger dogs. Thankfully there were no other people or animals around, other than the cars driving down 59, which this yard backs up to. My pups grew up in the city so they paid no attention to the cars. The yard was completely clear of any dog waste, unlike some of the other Spots I've rented out. The host was excellent at welcoming us and making it clear where we needed to enter through the messaging in the app. We will be back!Tara P.

55Large, spacious, clean yard with fence. The fence might not keep small dogs in but we had no issues. The yard is near a busy road but my puppy didn’t mind the noise at all. Dogs are able to get under the deck but I was able to recall my puppy back. The tree-lined path in the back of the yard was lovely. My puppy had a great time!Nikita K.

55We had a blast in this awesome well-maintained yard. I’m always nervous with dogs off leash near a busy road, but the fencing is great and has some screening along 59. We felt safe and Tig was in heaven exploring and zooming around. Thank you. Kit E.

FAQ about our Wauconda 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. There could be aggressive dogs, disease transmission and cleanliness issues. For this reason, many dog behaviorists discourage visiting public dog parks and recommend Sniffspot's private 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.
