55Nice spot to let your dog run around. One note. Make sure you push the gate latch down as firmly as you can, as it doesn't shut all the way. My dog kept wanting to hang out there and I was worried he would get it open.

55Very nice little spot, i brought all three of my dogs and they all had a good time. The tunnel is ripped now but my dog that loves tunnels didn’t mind lol There are some decent sized gaps around the gate so if you have a toy sized breed that’s a flight risk be cautiousRachel M.

55She had everything ready and available to use, from towels for the pool and splash pad, to poop bags and a trash can, to toys! My digger especially loved playing in the sand and it was easy to get it all back in order.Robin D.

55The Sniffspot was very clean and had shared toys organized in a bin. My dog had a great time sniffing around the areas with more vegetation and running around the wide open space of the yard. The entrance was clearly marked, and the host even left out some water for us and a bowl. Great Sniffspot!Isa C.

55This is such a welcoming space. By far the cleanest yard on Sniffspot we have seen in our busy tour of spaces. Our 10+ yr old golden loved the smells and had zoomies for the first time in a LONG time! We are glad to have found Annemarie and this spiffspot :)Kelly W.

55Great spot and really quiet! Lots of things for your dog to do. It's on a dead-end road, so there was virtually no traffic or even outside noise when we went. Great for my reactive dog! Will be back. Cody M.

55My dog absolutely loved our visit to Bear’s Place Sniffspot! The variety of toys kept him entertained, and he couldn’t get enough of the pool—perfect for cooling off on a warm day. The sandy area was a big hit too; the texture of the sand seemed to add an extra layer of fun for digging and playing. It’s a fantastic spot for any dog who loves to explore and play!Kiyanna J.

FAQ about our Rochester 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. 97% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Rochester 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 51 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 3 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.
