55Bears place was amazing for Maxine's first birthday. Everything was beautifully decorated and the dogs loved the cake. The space was set up perfect for the pups. This was our first experience with sniffspot and we will definitely use again. Couldn't have imagined it any better!Christina W.

55Harley loved it! He spent most of his time sniffing but once he found the Jolly ball it was game on. Annemarie was also very understanding when a frisbee went over the fence! Highly recommend:)Taylor F.

55I love this place! It has everything you could possibly need for your dog, and she goes above and beyond with fun things like a holiday backdrop for pictures. My dog was mostly interested in just sniffing and exploring this time, but I’ll definitely be coming back!Katie E.

55Nice spot to let your dog run around. One note. Make sure you push the gate latch down as firmly as you can, as it doesn't shut all the way. My dog kept wanting to hang out there and I was worried he would get it open.

55Very nice little spot, i brought all three of my dogs and they all had a good time. The tunnel is ripped now but my dog that loves tunnels didn’t mind lol There are some decent sized gaps around the gate so if you have a toy sized breed that’s a flight risk be cautiousRachel M.

55She had everything ready and available to use, from towels for the pool and splash pad, to poop bags and a trash can, to toys! My digger especially loved playing in the sand and it was easy to get it all back in order.Robin D.

55The Sniffspot was very clean and had shared toys organized in a bin. My dog had a great time sniffing around the areas with more vegetation and running around the wide open space of the yard. The entrance was clearly marked, and the host even left out some water for us and a bowl. Great Sniffspot!Isa C.

FAQ about our Rochester 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.
