55For my very first booking on Sniffspot, I couldn't be happier to have chosen this private little oasis. It's nothing fancy, but it is absolutely perfect for a reactive, high energy pup. I highly recommend this spot and I will definitely be booking again soon. Chonk had a blast getting to be his derpy self off leash without any judgement or stress. I am so thankful places like this exist for my baby. Rebecca S.

55Visiting Kelly’s yard with my two dogs for our first Sniffspot experience was great! We were also Kelly’s first guests and she did not disappoint. Kelly is obviously a huge dog lover and her yard proves this; it’s really designed to be for the dogs to enjoy curiosity, play, and even rest. She does have two dogs but they weren’t seen or heard our entire visit as she kept them securely inside. She did ask ahead of time if she could come out to meet us or if we preferred privacy and be left alone. She messaged a few times during our visit to see if we needed anything. My boys did enjoy sniffing around the yard for her dog tho! We played with toys I brought for a bit but my mutts were very pleased to just explore. The yard is quite secure, fully fenced in with gates to section off areas, and two large outdoor kennels with fun features too. Plenty of water bowls around! Special spot on her deck had a doggie friendly cabana type lounge bed and even her hot tub and seasonal pool, which is still closed. Both shaded and sunny spots too. Even the paved patio is partially covered in artificial turf that my mutts loved. Kelly’s place isn’t fancy but it’s inviting and eclectically decorated, with the needs of the dogs clearly catered too. My only recommendation is that if your dog is very tiny, walk the perimeter of the fence to be sure there’s no small spots that could be breached by your little guy. Mine are 40 and 60 lbs so it wasn’t an issue. We plan to go back next week. It’s a half hour ride for me from Hartford CT area but that’s not too far and was fully worth it! Eddie, Teddy Bear, and I thank Kelly for such a great spring afternoon in her yard! I recommend Kelly’s very dog & human friendly spot for you and your pooch!Melissa W.

55Our visit to Kelly’s yard did not disappoint just like our last visit! She’s an awesome hostess with a true love for all animals. It’s not an enormous space but that’s everything my dogs and I want and need…it is a different space than what my boys experience at home daily, larger than our own, with special doggy-geared features all over that keep them engaged even if I myself am resting in a comfy chair watching their antics. But still it’s fully safely fenced I’m not concerned when one of them seems missing for a minute or two…they’re just truly interested and occupied. We brought my mother “Gramma” with us this time, and my 12 year old is actually finally learning how to play fetch proper in his old age lol. We look forward to continuing to visit “Miss Kelly’s yard” thru the spring and summer months! Thank you again Kelly! Eddie & Teddy Bear are sleeping soundly after so much fun! We highly recommend checking out her spot!Melissa W.

55Kelly’s place was amazing! A very secure fenced in yard lots of sniffs. Pool was open but the dogs opted for no swimming today. The host was more than gracious asked permission to meet the dogs and we enjoyed her company and hospitality. Nancy B.

55My dogs and I had such a wonderful afternoon! The yard is charming and lovingly designed with so many interesting areas. It feels like a real little oasis. My dogs had the best time exploring, splashing and running around. The fence is tall and quite secure, so we were really able to relax and enjoy the beauty and privacy of the yard. We were also able to take a dip in the pool which was such a nice added bonus. Kelly is a very warm and thoughtful host. We are really glad we found this place and will definitely be back. Clare H.

FAQ about our Springfield 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.
Are 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 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 guests so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog. 96% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Springfield area are 5 stars.

You can filter Sniffspot dog parks by fencing and distractions. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our 111 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 24 off leash areas where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can also filter locations to avoid other domestic animals and people. We also recommend reading reviews and reaching out to the host with any questions.
