Tricia's 0.5 Acre Fully Fenced Private Dog Yard with Pool In Chelmsford
This backyard oasis was built for my Golden Retriever, Cooper. He enjoyed romping around in the grass, climbing over the rocks, and most especially swimming in the pool! It makes my heart happy to share this with other pups and their humans. Safe and secure for pups of all shapes and sizes. Humans need to be careful on natural stone steps to the pool. The pool is 12' x 24' and the depth ranges from 3' to 6'. This is a three tired backyard. The entrance has a small patio, the pool deck then an expansive lawn area below. Plenty of room for running and playing! There is also a bathroom in the basement.

Maureen's Large 1/2 Acre Private Dog Yard in Pepperell - Perfect for Zoomies!!🐾🐾
Welcome to my private, large open yard with 6’ high secure fencing where your dog can safely run, sniff and relax with no other dogs present. This space is designed for peaceful, one-on-one time for just you and your pup. Enjoy the wide open yard with no trees so plenty of space for your pups to run and do zoomies and get some great exercise. This yard is not connected to our home so it gives you very private time with your dogs. We are located on a beautiful, spacious corner lot. While the yard is massive and fully enclosed with a secure 6-foot fence, please note that it borders a main road. Dogs who are highly sensitive to seeing passing cars might find it distracting, but it is the absolute perfect playground for high-energy pups who love wide-open spaces to fetch, run zoomies and burn off energy safely! All visits must be booked at least 2 hours in advance through Sniffspot for each day and time …no drop-ins or recurring standing visits. This helps keep the schedule fair and ensures every guest has a reserved, private experience. 🐾🐾REFERRAL REWARD 🐾 Love our yard? Share it with friends and family! When they book their first visit, let me know and your next 1-hour visit is completely free! Thank you for supporting us! 🐾 I’m excited to share a new little touch of barnyard magic — there is usually a seasonal Photo Spot near the barn for you to to get some cute pics of your pup. It’s just a fun way to make your visit a little more memorable. Please share your photos with me too. Have fun, and as always - come sniff, stay awhile, and capture the country dog magic. We are located in Pepperell, MA, making us an easy drive for dog parents in Groton, Townsend, Dunstable, Hollis, and Nashua, NH. If you are looking for a completely private, stress-free alternative to public dog parks in the Middlesex County or Southern New Hampshire area, our yard is the perfect peaceful escape! We are located right off of 119 (South Rd) in Pepperell. Turn onto Powhatan Road and I am the 1st driveway on the left (black mailbox). Please pull down my driveway and park off to the right at the curve so that the driveway doesn’t get blocked. My mastiffs will be in the house or in their fenced area off the house but may possibly see you and you may hear them barking or howling but they are just jealous you are out in their barnyard having fun 😊 …they will quiet right down. Come on over and hope you have a great time.

Fully Fenced Spacious Yard - Fitchburg
JUNE 8th UPDATE: new six foot privacy fence installed to allow for full privacy. They told me to give the fence a few days to settle and then I will be reopened with more hours. Thank you for your patience. This fenced in back yard has plenty of space for dogs to run about. The driveway is long enough that you’ll have your own private and close spot right next to the gate. Peaceful and beautiful backyard. One neighbor is visible but rarely out. Sometimes their dog is outside and will bark but then they take him in. Fenced about five feet tall.

Barkin' Good Time! Relax and romp! Hammock, deck, dog toys, tennis racquet/balls. Easy parking.
Hi! We are happy to share our yard with other dog owners in the area who are looking to give their dogs some responsible, safe, off-leash time. I know what it’s like to have a need for your dogs to be off leash, happily running free, but in a space without other, unknown dogs (or people)! Sometimes you’ve got a reactive pup, a dog who is in training, or just an elderly pup looking to gently romp. We are an animal loving family who wants your pup to have whatever they need to be happy and healthy and for you to enjoy their company. We’ve got a fully fenced in space for you to enjoy with your dog(s). One side of the space is our house exterior wall, two sides are 6 foot vinyl fencing with no visual distractions and one side is made up of 6 foot metal dog kennel panels which look out onto the rest of our family yard. There’s a hammock, and patio furniture that you are welcome to use. Sunscreen and bug spray provided as well. We also have a trash bin, pooper scooper, pick up bags, and hand sanitiser on hand to keep everything clean and tidy. Please feel free to be in touch with any questions you may have.

Chelsey's 0.8 Acre Unfenced Private Dog Park In Londonderry
Our yard offers plenty of open grassy space for your pup to run, sniff, explore, and get some energy out. We’re located on a quiet neighborhood street surrounded by trees, so it feels private and relaxing. There are occasionally neighborhood dogs that walk by with their owners, so please keep that in mind if your dog is especially reactive to seeing other dogs. Feel free to make yourself comfortable in the outdoor chairs while your pup plays and enjoys the yard. We hope you both have a relaxing and fun visit!

Groverland
The pool is open!! Please remember - it needs to be added as an “extra” and there is a limit of 3 dogs in the pool for the longevity of our filter and pump :) There has been some confusion around booking the pool - you need to book the yard for at least as long as you book the yard. The yard blocks the spot on the calendar, not the pool. For example, if you book the yard for 90 minutes, the longest you can book the pool is 90 minutes (you can book the pool for less (e.g. 60 min or 30 min) if you prefer. We will provide towels, pool toys, and life jackets for your use. Please hang the towels and life jackets on the fence when you have completed your visit. Groverland is a 2 acre fenced yard so you and your furry friend(s) have plenty of room to roam. Please be sure the gate latches when you come in and when you leave. We live next to a very busy road and want to ensure everyone's safety! We have toys in a bin on the steps to the deck. Feel free to use them, but please put them back when you are done. There are poop bags and wet wipes on the toy station as well. The poop bucket is next to the gate you came in. Water dishes will be on the pavers between the pool and the house. There is also a kiddie pool for use. We do ask that you keep barking to a minimum. I have grumpy neighbors who disapprove of the Spot :) We are open from 10am - 4pm, but will sometimes make exceptions, so feel free to ask. Now for the Debbie Downer part - as the spot has gotten more popular, we are seeing things getting damaged and, as a result, have added a few rules. If you damage something, please let us know so we can address it. Things happen, so do not worry, we just need to know so we take care of it before the next guest. Pool rules: 1) No dogs on the pool furniture 2) Please do not prop the pool gate open Let us know if you have any questions! IMPORTANT - please note that we have audio and video surveillance in the yard. We are not listening to you….the surveillance is in place as documentation of the noise generated by the Spot to defend against neighbor statements of excessive noise.

Salem Dog Playground
Feel free to reach out via text 603-401-3164 with any questions or concerns. Helpful Info: - Amenities that say "Upon Request" are free to use but I don't like to leave them out all of the time. If you would like to use one or all, just message me through sniffspot and let me know so I can have it out for you. - For doggie play-dates, one person should book for all attendees. - You can park on the street or in the driveway when available. - The pool is protected by a fence in the winter and open in the summer. Access to the pool is blocked by a gate on the deck stairs. - After a lot of rain we sometimes get muddy puddles. - The yard has grass, flowers, woods, a kiddie pool, access to a hose, water bowl, dog toys, a place for pet parents to sit and relax while the doggos play. - Its probably a bit more than a 1/2 acre fenced with grass and a wooded trail. There will almost always be someone home during any visit as I work from home. We have dogs and I will lock them inside the house while we have visitors. Rules: 1. We would appreciate a 24 hour notice for all reservation changes or cancellations. 2. If you have more than 2 cars attending at the same time, please park at North Broadway Crossing. 3. Only one booking is in the yard at a time. 4. Due to the pool, no person under 18 is allowed on the property without adult supervision. 5. It is crucial that you arrive during and only stay for the time booked because another family may be booked directly after you or I could have my dogs in the yard if you are there outside of your booked time and I wouldn't want an unexpected encounter.
