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.

55This is such a welcoming space. By far the cleanest yard on Sniffspot we have seen in our busy tour of spaces. Our 10+ yr old golden loved the smells and had zoomies for the first time in a LONG time! We are glad to have found Annemarie and this spiffspot :)Kelly W.

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.

All Sniffspot locations are vetted and reviewed by guests so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog. 97% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Rochester area are 5 stars.
