Fully Fenced Backyard in woods. Access to lake swimming and hiking trails (as add ons)

Fully Fenced
0.11 acres

My back yard is meant for dogs, as I board dogs from my house full time. Lots of shade from trees, dog toys, dog water, and good smells. My dog Frank is also always game to play with other friendly dogs. I'm almost always available to take guests on guided walks of our private hiking trails or for a lake swim for an additional charge. I am also taking new boarding clients at this time.

Charlotte's Run - 6 Fenced Acres!

Fully Fenced
6 acres

Enjoy time at Charlotte's Run, affectionately called the (Foster) Puppy Farm, where many of the dogs rescued by our 501(c)3 animal welfare nonprofit, Mr. Bones & Co., rehabilitate and decompress before finding forever homes. Booking this Sniffspot helps us save lives and continue our rescue work. Enjoy the wooded trails, gentle rolling fields, swimmable pond and Catskill Mountain views. We encourage and welcome reactive dogs who need the place to themselves, and their humans who love them. Our farm is a safe place for everybody, and every dog. To learn more about our organization, see @MrBonesandCo on Instagram. The greenhouse is off-limits to our guests, so please do not enter it. Thank you in advance for respecting this rule!

Private 15-Acre Dog Oasis – Marlboro, NY

Unfenced
15 acres

Please pack out anything you bring in and help keep this property clean and beautiful by picking up after your dog. NOTE: THE POND HAD BEEN DRIED UP! Let your pup run, sniff, and explore on this private, perfectly mowed 15+ acre property—formerly a Christmas tree farm, now a peaceful retreat for dogs and their humans. * Over 15 acres of open grassy fields perfect for running, fetch, and zoomies * Scenic rolling hills and pine groves from the former Christmas tree farm * Private setting with no other dogs unless you choose to visit with friends * Gated entrance for added privacy and peace of mind * Plenty of room to roam, explore, and enjoy nature Please Note: The pond in the middle of the field has been removed. There is currently some bulldozing and site work taking place on the lower portion of the property, so you may encounter some mud in that area. The upper portion of the property remains open, with plenty of beautifully maintained grassy acreage for your dog to enjoy. Whether your dog loves to sprint, sniff, or simply stretch their legs, there’s still more than enough space for an unforgettable off-leash adventure. We look forward to welcoming you and your four-legged friend!

Bodemloze Geuren - 100 sniffable acres

Unfenced
100 acres

***STORM UPDATE 7/12/26**** Over 100 trees fell on 07/02/2026 during the Chatham storm. We will be working hard to clear the paths or make new ones. This may take awhile. No chainsaws will be operating when dogs are booked, but there may be a tractor dragging some trees around. Thank you for your patience. 💕🐾💕 Bottomless Smells. 100 acre farm. Lots of space for your doggos and you to roam. It is a rustic magical place. Parking is far from the street down a gravel driveway. Safe for your pup and you to get out of the car. You can park anywhere. If you feel comfortable you can drive down to the lower field to get even further away from the road. I live down the street while I am fixing up the old house. So, there maybe someone at work in the house. Once you park, the best walking is down to the creek. Go to the lower field and look for the opening in the woods. 150yards from field is the creek. On a hot day, wear good creek shoes and walk up and down creek. If you cross the creek there is a great trail that circles around to the Powerline. Warnings: 1. there are lots of deer! 2. There are old barns. Do Not enter any of the buildings! They are very dangerous!!!! I have rescued reactive dogs. I want to create a safe space for your dogs and you to enjoy this great property.

Seven's Private Dog Run In Pound Ridge

Partially Fenced
1 acre

About an acre of private, open lawn and woods in Pound Ridge, with a pond on the property. It's quiet and you'll have the space to yourselves for your booking. Please read before you book: - The split-rail fence is there to keep deer out. It will not reliably keep a dog in, so keep an eye on your dog and use the space at your own risk. - The pond is included in the acre. Watch your dog near the water. Parking: pull in and park on the left as you drive slightly up the hill. It's a circular driveway, so please don't park on or block the right side. Please don't go up to the house or disturb the occupants. Have a great time!

Frequently asked questions about Poughkeepsie dog water parks

Why are private dog water parks better than public dog parks in Poughkeepsie?

Private dog water parks in Poughkeepsie eliminate major public park risks: unpredictable dog encounters that scare puppies, aggressive dogs that trigger reactive behavior, chaotic crowds that overwhelm seniors or small dogs, and disease transmission from dozens of unknown dogs. Poughkeepsie's 45 private dog water parks offer complete privacy, professionally maintained cleanliness, and controlled environments. Whether you have a fearful puppy, a reactive adult, a fragile senior, or simply want peace of mind, private bookings give you control.

How safe are Poughkeepsie dog water parks compared to public dog parks?

Poughkeepsie dog water parks are significantly safer than public facilities. Public dog parks risk: aggressive dogs, inattentive owners, disease transmission, overcrowding that triggers reactive behaviors or injuries. Private Poughkeepsie dog water parks eliminate these concerns—bookings are completely private, all guests have vaccinated dogs (or titers), and hosts maintain clean spaces. 93% of Sniffspot reviews are 5 stars.

Are Poughkeepsie dog water parks safe for reactive dogs?

Poughkeepsie owners of reactive dogs choose dog water parks because they offer safe, private environments for off-leash exercise without the triggers of public dog parks. Complete privacy means no unexpected dog encounters, no overwhelming chaos, no aggressive dogs. Reactive dogs can finally enjoy swimming and water play while building confidence in a controlled setting. Many Poughkeepsie reactive dog owners say Sniffspot is their only safe exercise option.

Can anxious dogs safely use Poughkeepsie dog water parks?

Yes! Poughkeepsie dog water parks provide controlled environments perfect for anxious or fearful dogs. No other dogs means no triggers, no overwhelming situations. Anxious dogs can explore a facility featuring pools, splash pads, or water play areas specifically designed for dogs to swim and cool off at their own pace without stress. Many Poughkeepsie dog water parks offer quiet, spacious settings ideal for building confidence in nervous dogs who struggle at chaotic public dog parks.

Are Poughkeepsie dog water parks good for small dogs?

Absolutely! Small dogs benefit enormously from Poughkeepsie dog water parks because they can explore without fear of being trampled or intimidated by larger breeds. Many small dog owners in Poughkeepsie avoid public parks entirely due to safety concerns—dog water parks eliminate that worry. Filter for appropriate sizing, secure fencing with no gaps, and hosts who understand petite pup needs.

Do Poughkeepsie dog water parks work for senior dogs?

Yes! Senior dogs thrive at Poughkeepsie dog water parks because they can move at their own pace without being knocked over by rambunctious puppies or young dogs. Look for Poughkeepsie dog water parks with flat terrain, easy access, shade, and smaller sizes if your senior has mobility limitations. The privacy means your older dog can rest when needed and enjoy gentle exercise without stress.

What do Poughkeepsie dog owners say about dog water parks?

Reviews of Poughkeepsie dog water parks consistently highlight: excellent privacy for all dog types, secure fencing that prevented escapes, clean and well-maintained spaces, responsive hosts, and safe environments for anxious, fearful, reactive, senior, and small dogs. Local favorite Bodemloze Geuren - 100 sniffable acres is particularly praised in Poughkeepsie. Read reviews to see real experiences from Poughkeepsie dog owners with similar needs.

How clean and maintained are Poughkeepsie dog water parks?

Poughkeepsie hosts maintain their own dog water parks and take pride in providing excellent experiences. All guests must have vaccinated dogs (or titers). Many Poughkeepsie hosts provide poop bags, trash cans, and regular cleaning. Reviews highlight maintenance quality—browse Poughkeepsie dog water park listings to see real feedback about cleanliness and upkeep.
