55A truly lovely yard, and so well-maintained! Hermes and I had a fantastic time exploring the wooded paths, dry creek bed, and orchard space 😍 Hermes said no thank you to the pool but it was clear and cold, and he appreciated multiple water bowls around the yard. Ed was very hospitable and the bandana and treats were icing on the cake!Wendy L.

55Ed and Brigette go above and beyond. They have all the supplies and more! Toys, bowls, water, poop bags, chairs, drinks for the customers, and more! He even gave us a gift bag with goodies and handkerchiefs for our dogs. The yard is very open with a nice trail to walk on. We are definitely coming back! Rosalani F.

55Exactly what the title says...a large yard, a really large yard actually. Even after looking at the listing and photos I was surprised at the size when we actually got there today. It's very well maintained, clean and the fence is secure and private. My boy Cooper is very low key, not interested in toys and doesn't run around too much but he was very busy for the first 40 minutes straight just sniffing and exploring. We normally hike trails or go to creeks or rivers so I was surprised how excited he was here. Our first visit but he started bouncing around in the car like a nut when we were a couple of blocks away. We live nearby so this is a great place for a quick outing. And the hosts are really nice folks which is a huge bonus. Big thumbs up!Susan D.

55This was our 1st time using Sniffspot & everything was perfect! Couldn’t have asked for a better spot. Less than 5mins from our home, our two pups loved exploring Hal & Colleen’s place. We will definitely be back! Such a nice couple, thank you for sharing your wonderful yard with us. Kymberlee C.

55This was an awesome spot for our reactive pup! We were greeted by the owner upon arrival, very nice guy! Instructions were clear, and their new gazebo saved us from the rain! Completely fenced, and felt really safe having our dog off leash (which is rare). Tons of space for chuck it fetch, and a tug of rope tree. Never ending fun! This place was definitely worth the drive, and we will be visiting again soon! Gabbie W.

55Truly cannot say enough wonderful things about this SniffSpot and Hal & Colleen. They truly care about our puppers and our experience at their property. My kiddos LOVE this place, we come up from Tacoma and they know when they are getting close and start vocalizing for Mommy to "drive faster and get there already!" Visiting this place is a slice of heaven for all of us💜Lyn P.

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 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.

Many parks allow doggie birthday parties, training, water parties and other event types.
