55The yard was HUGE!!! A tiny bit buggy, so maybe bring bug spray. Sara had an amazing sitting area with doggie bags, a couple toys, and a clean bowl for water. Walking the whole yard was very fun, lots of room for running and fetch. Will DEFINITELY be returning!Erik C.

55This sniffspot is amazing! The creek was a big hit with our golden retriever. The trails in the back were very fun. The yard is very well maintained and our dogs had a blast running off leash. I would recommend this sniffspot to anyone! Shannon K.

55We were very happy with the perfectly sized trails as well as the wide open area. The fire hydrant was a nice touch. Definitely plan on returning soon. Deana N.

55This was a great spot for my dogs! Just for anyone with a super reactive dog - we heard a neighborhood dog barking at one point and saw another neighbor’s dog once. To find the exit where it isn’t fenced your dog would literally have to be walking straight down/up the creek. Shouldn’t be a problem if you’re actively supervising! We’ll be back again.Alexandra F.

55This was our first time at a sniff spot and we loved it! Sara's property was beautifully maintained and she had a friendly little touch of milk bones and bottled water for our dog, Nova. Nova doesn't have a yard of her own and she was on cloud nine racing through the expansive property without a leash. We will make this a regular occurrence and our regular spot as we felt this was a perfect spot for our Nova!Kathryn L.

55This spot is beautiful and has a creek out back. There was a bowl with a fresh water bottle to pour in for the dogs. It got dark half way through our visit and the human running the spot offered us a light up collar so we could keep track of our dog. It was an excellent experince and we are already planning future visits! Stephanie F.

55We had fund playing with our pups at Wagging Tails Trails! The pups had a blast running and sniffing! The hosts were great and left a towel for us to wipe the pup’s muddy feet off with. Our littlest dog is an escape artist and she didn’t find any holes to get out through. I’m sure we will be back!Charissa M.

55This is a huge, beautiful space with lots of room for my big boy to run flat out. The snow just melted so there were some big puddles and mud in places. According to Sammy, this should earn them a sixth star. The owners left us toys and fresh water. Sam had an absolute blast and I highly recommend. Shannon D.

55Our pup had a BLAST at this Sniffspot! It was definitely a little muddy in spots but we were adequately warned by the owner with plenty of time to bring towels and be prepared! The space is great and our pup loved exploring “wilderness” while we felt great know it was fenced and she was safe :)Kate B.

FAQ about our Rochester small dog parks
Are small 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 are 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 park users so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits are 5 stars.
How can I find small dog parks in Rochester?
There are 35 small dog parks in the Rochester area. The most popular small dog park is . You can browse all of our small dog parks here.
How do I know if a small dog park works for my dog?
Start by applying basic filters, such as fencing and distractions, to find a dog park that works for your furry friends. If your dog doesn't respond to owner commands, you can visit one of our enclosed dog park areas. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our small dog park sites where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can see any park amenities provided, including a park bench, water for dogs or water features such as kiddie pool or water hose. If your dog loves water, you can go to a park with water features, but if they don't love water, you can avoid them. We also recommend reading reviews to check for park maintenance issues and reaching out to the host with any questions. And lastly, of course, check park hours. Many of our parks are open from dawn until dusk.
What are the requirements to bring my dog to a Sniffspot park?
We require that all dogs have basic vaccinations or equivalent titers. We do not allow dogs with a bite history. We require that owners sign our waiver and agree to follow our safety rules. We also require that pet owners follow safety protocols around water features.
Will there be other dogs at the Sniffspot park at the same time as me?
Sniffspot only allows one booking at a time and any host dogs are required to be kept away from the spot during visits. We also enforce 30 min time buffers between bookings.
If you are planning an amazing small dog park party, each Sniffspot park has their own rules regarding special events. Many parks allow doggie birthday parties, training, water parties and other event types. Event organizers need to be responsible for their guests and event organizers should coordinate with the host regarding their fun party. Make sure the park has amenities you need for your party, such as a park with lots of picnic tables with park benches.
