55Very nice space for me and my pup - if your dog is crafty he may want to try to escape some of the lower fenced areas and small gaps and but my guy was all about playing and sniffing - very clean and they left an awesome treat for him😊Catherine D.

Sarah's Fully Fenced Yard For Dogs To Rent In Newton | Sniffspot
55Our dog LOVES coming here. Whenever we pull up Midnight tries to jump out of the car, she gets so excited. We been here at least 4 or 5 times so far. The fence is see through, however we’ve never encountered another dog/animal on the other sides. The fence has always felt secure. There is a perfect amount of space for our medium sized dog to run around. We’ll keep coming back! Clare M.

55Our dogs had a fabulous play date. Lots of space for the dogs to run. I really appreciated the two gate entrance to help keep dogs safe while coming and going. Yard is well kept no holes or roots to trip over. Jenny S.

55This is a lovely, wide-open but quite private backyard. The grass is lush and the yard is well fenced with no gaps. It is also very convenient to the Mass Pike, and we had a great time! Melissa was a kind host who met us at the gate and provided fresh, cold water for our dog Penny. We will definitely be returning!Susanna R.

55This was my first visit with Sniffspot, and it was a great intro! Melissa was lovely and welcoming, and left out some water for my pup Bowie. The yard was gorgeous- spacious, clean, and well-fenced. Bowie and I ran around, played fetch, and did some training, and he had a big smile on his face at the end of our hour there. Thanks Melissa!Richa S.

FAQ about our Newton small dog parks
Are small 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 are 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 park users so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits are 5 stars.
How can I find small dog parks in Newton?
There are 163 small dog parks in the Newton area. The most popular small dog park is . You can browse all of our small dog parks here.
How do I know if a small dog park works for my dog?
Start by applying basic filters, such as fencing and distractions, to find a dog park that works for your furry friends. If your dog doesn't respond to owner commands, you can visit one of our enclosed dog park areas. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our small dog park sites where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can see any park amenities provided, including a park bench, water for dogs or water features such as kiddie pool or water hose. If your dog loves water, you can go to a park with water features, but if they don't love water, you can avoid them. We also recommend reading reviews to check for park maintenance issues and reaching out to the host with any questions. And lastly, of course, check park hours. Many of our parks are open from dawn until dusk.
What are the requirements to bring my dog to a Sniffspot park?
We require that all dogs have basic vaccinations or equivalent titers. We do not allow dogs with a bite history. We require that owners sign our waiver and agree to follow our safety rules. We also require that pet owners follow safety protocols around water features.
Will there be other dogs at the Sniffspot park at the same time as me?
Sniffspot only allows one booking at a time and any host dogs are required to be kept away from the spot during visits. We also enforce 30 min time buffers between bookings.
If you are planning an amazing small dog park party, each Sniffspot park has their own rules regarding special events. Many parks allow doggie birthday parties, training, water parties and other event types. Event organizers need to be responsible for their guests and event organizers should coordinate with the host regarding their fun party. Make sure the park has amenities you need for your party, such as a park with lots of picnic tables with park benches.
