55My dog and I had an absolute BLAST here! The yard was clean, large, and filled with everything you could possibly need or want for you and your dog. I don’t have a yard, and Stephanie’s place is only a four minute drive from where I live, so this was super convenient for me! My boy and I will absolutely be back in the future. I highly recommend this spot to anyone who is thinking of giving it a try! Thank you for renting out your space, Stephanie!Caroline M.

55Had a lovely time! Lots of space to run around and lots of places to sit! This spot is very close to the highway so it is noisy in that sense, but other that that, it is very peaceful! We will be back!Kristen H.

55This backyard paradise is a gem! Thoughtfully designed for pups and humans, with drinks, snacks, seating, and a private fence for safety. Though the heat made it tough for Melvin to fully enjoy himself, the host was incredibly accommodating and went above and beyond to try to make him comfortable. The towels on lounge chairs were a lovely touch. Despite the heat, we had an amazing time and can’t wait to return. Thank you for this welcoming haven!Kailie N.

55We had the BEST time at Stephanie’s place. They have a beautiful backyard and everything is so thoughtful and spotless. We used the plunge pool and it was perfect for this heatwave. Super responsive if anything comes up and very nice people. A must try for anybody with a dog! Leah C.

55They thought of EVERYTHING a dog could need, or their human. So many toys, treats, and play options. Supplies like sunscreen, dog shampoo, dog wipes, towels. The best experience on my dog’s birthday! She even included a party hat and a treat bag for him because I told her. Emily A.

FAQ About Stoneham 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. 4% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Stoneham area are 5 stars.
How do I know if a dog park works for my dog?
You can filter Sniffspot dog parks by fencing and distractions. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our 363 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 622 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.
