55The pups had a great time! The neighborhood is quiet and there was plenty of room for them to get their zoomies out. Host was very considerate and understanding of their fear-reactivity. Sophie P.

55First time for us using Sniffspot and Funi’s place was perfect for our two dogs! Great backyard, spotless clean, fully fenced in. There were quite a few toys and a kiddie pool for our dogs to enjoy. For human use they have a nice picnic table with an umbrella for extra shade. We will definitely come back whenever we’re in town.

55The yard was super clean and the toys left out were fantastic to have! My tiny guy still doesn’t quite get the catch and bring back game, but loves to chase when I throw! Funi was also super responsive when I couldn’t figure out the hose to get him water! We’ll definitely be back…thank you so much!Christine H.

55Very clean, well maintained yard. Not large but plenty of space for a small to medium dog to run around and play fetch, or a larger dog who likes to sniff around. The host gave clear directions and also left a bin of balls and toys, which was much appreciated. We did hear the host's dogs bark a few times, and my pup stopped to listen, but it seemed far enough away to ignore. It would only be a problem if a dog were very reactive. I will definitely book this spot again! Kirsten B.

55Yard was exactly as advertised! I like that it is on a hill, because my dog tired himself out a bunch running up and down the hill. After about 50 mins of sprinting he was so exhausted he went over to the gate and asked to leave. For us, it was perfect, but if your dog likes to jump over fences and is an escape artist, be aware that the fence is low. Alexandra S.

FAQ about our Boston 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.
