55It was great! We have a 6 month old German Shorthaired Pointer with tons of energy! Great clean, yard to let him run! We kept him on our 20 ft long leash just in case but definitely felt comfortable there! No openings in the fence and no other dogs or people nearby! Abigail C.

55Excellent space, will book again. A huge thank you to the host, Alicia, for sharing her space! The fence is as tall as advertised and sturdy with no gaps. Two notes for future guests. First, there are several neighbors whose adjacent properties are not fenced. If your dog is sensitive to emotional or hyper children, ensure your pet is under control as most motivated dogs could likely hop the fence. Second, if your dog is prey motivated, I also recommend a quick perimeter check.Sager G.

55First time using Sniff Spot and first time coming here! We loved it- Callie had so much fun bouncing and playing fetch in the snow. We will definitely be back since it’s super close and convenient for us! Laura A.

55Great spot! I hope to go back here again.
The driveway was full when I got there (holiday, so totally understandable), but I was able to find safe street parking just around the corner. The area is fully-fenced with two gates, one on either side of the house. I was concerned that the owner might come out to say 'hi' and startle my sometimes-reactive dog, but they gave us our space and privacy. Only hiccups came from some noisy movers a couple doors down and a neighbor child that was running around in a nearby yard, but both instances gave me the opportunity to work on some of our reactivity training without too much drama. :) It was great for me to see my girl getting relaxed enough to run and play in a safe environment.Suzanne P.

55This is an awesome spot ! It’s only a 6 minute walk from my place—so convenient. The backyard is spacious and well fenced, I felt very safe letting my dogs bounce around off leash. My dogs had an absolute blast ! Thank you, we will definitely come back !Kailee O.

55wonderful space to let my dog run around, she loved every minute of it! the fence is short in some areas so if you have an escape artist be aware of that. otherwise, yard was large and clean and was everything we needed! I will definitely be back.Payton H.

55An unassuming backyard for Newton, its easy ro find and my dog had a wonderful time. Major bonus points for the fact that the yard and parking is wheelchair acessible. You might need help with the gate, but it its vert secure. We had a great time and I think this will become one of our regular spots. We saw a distant neighbor Enjoying aome sunshine from his garage and we heard some chickens and a dog bark far off a couple times, but it wasnt anything major. Unless your dog is super reactive you wont have an issue. Ariel W.

55I am a professional dog trainer and also train and compete regularly with my dogs in dog sports. This was the best money I’ve ever spent on them, and I think they would agree. It was so peaceful and the perfect way to give all three of them the freedom they so desperately need. We cannot wait to come back!Donna M.

55Brought our two pups here over the weekend and they had a blast. As noted in the description, it’s 2.5 acres completely fenced in- I know because we walked the entire perimeter.....there’s a chicken coop that is also completely fenced in- I was worried because I have one pup that is very prey driven but there was no way she could get inside the coop, and she tried. The host was very accommodating and friendly. The best was having two tired dogs by the end of the hour, a tired dog is a happy dog!
We will definitely be back, probably weekly!Kim S.

55GORGEOUS! So much room for the dogs to run flat out! Definitely going to be a return customer! Theres a field and woods that are actually pretty deep! And an huge added plus, didnt find one tick on my dogs, and they were rolling in the grass, in the woods, everywhere!
Host is currently redoing fencing, but old fence is still up and yard is 100% contained. New fence will just give added distance from neighbors yards for saftey.
The neighbor does have a black lab, but its owner recalls it when she barks. The chickens are also totally enclosed and also not frightened by dogs! There are balls and stuffed animals as well, but next visit Ill be bringing some new balls to leave!
Oh and the eggs? Best darn eggs Ive had in YEARS!Lyzz A.

55This was our first SniffSpot and we are already planning a trip back! Shana was so welcoming, making sure there was fresh water, and informing me about the property which was fully fenced in. My dogs loved the chickens (maybe a little too much!) but Shana assured me that the chickens wouldn't be bothered by gregarious dogs. She was also so understanding of my one dog, who can be reactive to people, so we got some exposure therapy as well! There was just enough space for Moses and Gracie to stretch their legs, without them getting too far out of sight. As an anxious dog mom, it was the perfect size! The fencing was intact, and high enough that I was assured my dogs wouldn't escape. Not that they'd want to! They were too busy doing laps around the chicken coop, and in the open yard. Shana has three dogs who were kept in the house at all times, and didn't affect our playtime at all. Now my dogs are happily sleeping, content and worn out. Looking forward to going back soon!Lyndsay W.

FAQ about our Cambridge 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.
Are dog parks safe?
While public dog parks have a number of safety issues, such as aggressive dogs, disease transmission and general cleanliness, Sniffspot dog parks much safer than public dog parks. With Sniffspot all bookings are private for just you and dogs you bring with you and we require all dogs to be vaccinated (or have equivalent titers). All Sniffspot locations are vetted and reviewed by guests so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog. 95% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Cambridge area are 5 stars.
How do I know if a dog park works for my dog?
You can filter Sniffspot dog parks by fencing and distractions. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our 176 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 27 off leash areas where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can also filter locations to avoid other domestic animals and people. We also recommend reading reviews and reaching out to the host with any questions.
