55Me and my pups visit this spot a lot. It’s the perfect spot for the dogs to run around and play while not having to be worried about them getting loose. Beautiful yard with plenty of spots to sit and relax or walk around and get exercise! Very clean, calm, relaxing, and quiet.
55Beautiful fall weather made a perfect 2 hour play session with my two pitbulls, highly recommend!
55This place is special. Feel very fortunate to be close by and thankful the owners have chosen to share.
55Peaceful!! Our dogs love this location!!
55Great trail to walk through and having the animals around was so fun for our dog!
55This place is wonderful! OUR oup had a blast and so did we! Love the other animals too!
55Such a beautiful spot! So much room for the dogs to run and explore. My two lab mixes had a blast and were worn out after our morning here. I will definitely be returning.
55Great spot for the dogs to get out in nature!
55amazing layout, chickens and goats are super secure, dogs absolutely loved it and had a blast
55Spectacular Sniffspot! Stopped here during a road trip to let the pups have some fun. So glad I did!! They had the absolute best time. This place is a dream. Would come here again when we next pass through.

Our house is the second driveway west of Rome Corners Road (coming from Route 3) on the south side of the road. GPS will take you to a house that is 3/4 houses away from ours. Our mailbox is across the road from our driveway and has a small tree growing by it. There is tall grass, pine trees, and a gate at the end of the driveway. Open the outer gate if it is closed (used to keep deer out) and leave open. The driveway is lined with large rocks. As you drive into the driveway, there will be a prairie garden on the left and goats in a pasture on the right and you will drive through a second gate, close and chain that gate. The entire property is now enclosed! You are now in the Sniffspot!! As you drive forward, you will see two gravel areas and a picnic table (looks like camping sites), park in one of those spots. Please park only on the gravel. Close the inner gate after you enter. Leave all driveway gates open when you leave. About Mama's Homestead: There is a trail that goes all the way around the property. We have goats and chickens that are enclosed in their pens. There is a small barn with a porch (you are welcome to sit on the swing rocking chairs) near the goat pastures that has a water spigot and a trash pail for you to use. We have two compost piles, one behind that barn (for barn waste) and one at the back corner of our property (for food scraps). Enjoy the covered bridge that goes over our Koi pond. We have 1 cat that might be near our back deck. The property trails are cleared soon after heavy snowstorms.

I have comfortable chairs, bottled water for guests. The hose is on and ready to fill up your dog dish. Plenty of spacious off street parking. Shade options. A large playset if you have kids. Plenty of sticks to throw if your dog likes to chase them. The children’s above ground swimming pool is not for dogs. Please don’t put them in the pool. Also the swings are not for adults, that’s a children’s playset. Thanks!

Run, play, rest and enjoy our fully fenced back yard. A cherished spot for dogs. Our beagle can join in the fun if your dog likes a playmate. If they prefer to be alone she can stay inside. She is very friendly with lots of energy so you may hear her bark. We don’t have a weight limit. And don’t require you to pick up. Enjoy the space. And please come back! There is a back gate entrance to make your visit seamless. Treats and water provided.

Rob's 3 Acre Fully Fenced Private Dog Park In Ostrander

Fully Fenced
3 acres

Our home sits on 5 acres, with nearly 3 acres of the backyard dedicated as a fully fenced, private dog park. Your pup can explore tall grasses, scattered trees, and mowed walking trails with plenty of space to run, sniff, chase, and play. For everyone’s safety, please keep dogs leashed until you have passed through and securely closed the second gate. This special place is shared in loving memory of our dogs, Major, Tank, and Jasper. Over the past 15 years, they spent their lives running through these fields, chasing one another, exploring the trails, and playing hide-and-seek among the tall grasses and trees. We hope your pups have just as much fun here as ours did and create some wonderful memories of their own. Helpful tip: Midway Market is only about 6 minutes away and offers a convenient self-service dog wash. Visit http://www.supermidway.com for details.
