55So I reviewed once in the summer and now winter is upon us and again this spot went above and beyond. Fresh water was set out (and the frozen stuff broken out of the dish). As an amazing extra, they put out those little hand warmer things. This is definitely my go to spot when I’m in MA!E P.

55This spot is *awesome*. This is my go to spot when I’m visiting my Mom in MA. We even got a subscription to this spot. It is a little muddy at times but totally worth it. Easily contains my small dog (25.lbs) and has a digging area. The host also supplies toys and every time I’m go there is fresh water in jugs out fresh for my dog. The host is very conscientious and does all they can to cater to both my dog and myself. I have been using sniff spot for about a year and this is the spot I compare all the other spots (I travel a lot) to when we visit. E P.

55We came to introduce our adult dog to our new pup in a neutral area. The location was easy to find and set up as described. The owner let us know that there was an area of mud because of all the rain which didn't deter us. It was perfect for our needs because we could have the puppy off leash. We will be back soon!!Tracey R.

55Fence in excellent condition and lots of room for pup to run. Communication was great and we really appreciated all the amenities they offered. The bubbles were a hit and it was so thoughtful that they offered a towel since it was a little muddy (our pup throughly enjoyed it regardless). Will be back! :)Rachel L.

55Kim was kind enough to let us know about some mud in the spot after many days of rain and very kindly also left out water to clean our dog’s paws. Harley loved the toys and had a blast. Thank you Kim! Marina V.

FAQ about our Sturbridge 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?
