55What a wonderful visit today! So much room for dogs to flourish-a huge open field for ball playing. Animals all around from chickens, goats, pigs, rabbits, to alpacas. The host was super friendly and even shared some farm knowledge with me. We can't wait to go back!! Thank you so much :)Ashley R.

55Very clean, and well maintained. Well appointed with chairs, water, toys, etc. We had the place to ourselves, and were able to set up a small lure course. We and our dogs enjoyed it, very much. We'll be back, again.Steve Q.

55Our three dogs LOVED this Sniffspot! The trees provided plenty of shade while they ran around and explored, and they were fascinated by the goats and the bunnies in back. Carol was very responsive and even left us a little basket of things like sunscreen, bug spray, treats, and water! She also put out big buckets of water for them which was so helpful for the heat. Will definitely visit again!Emily S.

55We had such a great time at this spot! It’s huge, and the fence is solid all the way around, no gaps. My pups had a great time here with all the smells and different terrain. Amber was SO excited to greet us and was very sweet. We will definitely be back!
The pen with the goats and and rabbits is coyote proof, so unless your dog can clear a 5foot fence, you should be fine!Aubrey J.

55Carol is a wonderful host and a pleasure to meet. Her space is beautiful and I felt my dogs were very safe there. It was so much fun to watch my dogs be able to run and not be restrained by the leash.Mandy B.

55This sniffspot was awesome! It was hot out when we went and Carol was sweet enough to leave out plenty of water for our pup as well as drinks for us if we wanted! Tons of trees on her property that there was plenty of shade so the sun wasn’t directly bearing down on you. We will definitely be back to this sniffspot in the future (: Christina C.

55Chauncey and I so enjoyed our visit at Carol’s farmland! It was our first time with this location and SniffSpot in general, so we both had some nerves, but the peaceful nature and welcoming area put us at ease. The farm animals are truly adorable and add such a special touch. I did forget about bug spray so it was a relief to see some set out for guests. Wonderful experience and look forward to going back soon!Madison B.

55This SniffSpot is amazing! Carol is a wonderful host and my dog Bo had the best time. My dog has leash frustration and neighborhood walks are difficult and stressful for both of us. This spot was perfect for us with lawns, woods, and trails. Bo loved exploring everything! So many good sniffs, playing fetch with the toys and balls available, splashing in the kiddie pool, and meeting the goats and chickens through the fence! Bo was very curious about the goats but it was easy to redirect him to other areas of the property where he couldn't see them. I loved walking with him on the trails together stress free.
Half way through we met Carol and her dog Amber. Bo is super social so we discussed them meeting prior to the reservation and then reconfirmed once we were there. There is no pressure at all to meet Carol or Amber. Prior to meeting, we never saw Amber through any windows, but potentially could have seen her from the small windows of their front door.
Bo and Amber were great together and became fast friends. They played hard, chased each other and enjoyed many rounds of fetch together. Carol was so nice, letting us know where things were and later we walked a few loops in the woods together with the pups. I had such a good time we will certainly be booking again soon.

55This morning was like a little vacation! Carol’s place is exactly what I was hoping for: a huge fenced in property with woods, where my dog Eli got to explore, run like crazy, and even see the owner’s goats, rabbits, and chickens. If you ever get the chance to meet Carol, you’ll be glad you did. I was lucky that she was able to walk with Eli and I, and her dog Amber (now Eli’s new girlfriend). My dog actually didn’t want to come home with me; I had to walk back to their house to grab him as he sat at their front door. Eli gives them 10 stars!Christine S.

55Carol was very attentive by contacting us before our arrival and explaining the enclosed area. After walking the perimeter with a long lead, my dog and I walked around the property on paths, practiced recall, and explored. Be sure to walk around and play in the front or back yard and check out the little animals (if your pup is well-behaved)! We will definitely be back!Martha v.

FAQ about our Sanford 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.
