55My dog had a lovely time sunbathing!
55Exactly as described! Our pup could get over some of the fences so we kept him on a leash at some points, but nonetheless so grateful to have a spot in our neighborhood where he can use the bathroom and sniff without the stimulus of the city. We will certainly be back!
55small but peaceful and exactly as described! our dog had a lot of fun! beware of mosquitos that got us but will bring adequate preparation next time
55The yard is as described/pictured & a great value! A bit small if you have a larger dog & are looking for space to run or play fetch, but still an able to play & get some good sniffs in. We’ll be back :)
55Great spot and 10/10 recommend!
55This was our first time using sniffspot and it was awesome. Cheryl was super responsive and her instructions were spot on. The entrance was at the end of the driveway on the right side of the house. The spot is exactly as described! The only sudden sound in case your doggo is reactive to it was a train passing by relatively close but that happened once in the time we were there. The fence had no openings and though I can see how a dog might get out it would take them a bit of effort so you should be able to stop them. Will most likely come again!
45This spot was exactly as described, but unfortunately my pup is still quite young so she couldn’t appreciate it fully. There were a lot of leaves, twigs, and moss that she was eating, and the proximity to the commuter rail and the wind chimes spooked her a little. All things that are not the fault of the host, just worth noting if your pup is sound sensitive. Great little spot tucked away in Somerville otherwise!
55Good spot for a dog to spend energy sniffing around, and running a little bit. Ours got home exhausted. =) We had a great time and plan on bringing our dog here at least once a week!
55My 1 y o rescue Douglas loves to visit Cheryl’s Little Urban Oasis. He can sniff around off-leash and (consensually) wrestle with a playmate. Don’t let the size of the Oasis fool you— even though Douglas is 55+ lbs, he can get a lot of exercise this space. Thanks, Cheryl!
35Pros: the place was easy to find and easy to access. There was a little note on the fence that "sniff spot", making us confident we were in the right place. There was a porch with seats for the humans. Cons: one side of the yard is fenced with trees and chicken wire. The chicken wire has some holes near the bottom, and one of our dogs escaped into the neighbor's yard. We moved around items in the yard to plug the holes, but it definitely made for a scary few minutes when the dog was loose! Also, the yard has no grass. The ground is entirely dirt, so our pups were in desperate need of a bath by the end!

Description

I’m lucky enough to have a private backyard in Somerville, where extra space is a rare commodity. Fenced, with some ground area and some brick-paved. Play with your dog or relax on the deck furniture (swinging rope chair, hammock, table and chairs) while your furbaby explores, sniffs, and enjoys their freedom. Plenty of street parking; visitors pass available to borrow.

Cleanliness

100% of guests said this spot was as clean as expected during their visit.

Hi! I’ve had dogs all my life, and have lived in the Somerville area for 20 years. Two of my late rescue dogs were very reactive to other dogs and sometimes people, so I couldn’t take them to parks. It was wonderful to have even a small spot for them to be off-leash and sniff and play. I’m hoping to provide such a little spot for others through Sniffspot!

Welcome to our backyard! We know how valuable new experiences are for dogs and how being off leash to run, sniff, and play is good for dogs' physical and mental well being - and ours, too! Our privacy fencing and large yard allows you and your dog to have a safe place away from unfamiliar people / other dogs*. It's great for getting your dog some different sniffs and letting them off leash for a game of fetch! *Our neighbor does have a dog who may be outside during your visit. The neighbor's dog is friendly and absolutely cannot get into our yard. Your dog will be 100% safe, but please know that if the neighbor's dog is outside during your visit, she may try to stick a little bit of her snout underneath any of the small openings along the fence line.

My one acre private yard is fully fenced. Much of it is wild woods for your dog to explore. There are open grassy spaces in both back and front yard. I have chickens in a secure area and a dog who will be secure indoors. The vegetable garden is also fenced off but otherwise the entire property is available to run and play in. Very quiet and convenient dead end location boarders more undeveloped woods.
