55Super happy that this was my first Sniffspot visit! Samantha and her husband are WONDERFUL and their dog Cannon is a great playmate! Backyard is immaculate and my dog had a blast, will definitely be coming back! They supplied water and a tennis ball and frisbee for her, and played with her when she was done playing with their dog. Highly recommend!Erika L.

55Another awesome sniffspot visit! I was a little late (our dogs tire out quickly because they’re tiny so we don’t need the whole hour). The host was outside waiting and showed me where to park. He was so friendly and kind!! Patches and Louie loved exploring the yard. There will be NO dirt, mud, or mess after visiting here. The play area is turf. It’s clean, big- exciting for the dogs to sniff around. Their dog was so desperate to play but our little ankle biters aren’t great with bigger dogs. It’s a perfect space to play with your dogs and enjoy the beautiful landscaping. sue s.

55Place is just as described. The turf area is extra long and perfect for tossing or kicking around a ball with your pups. Water from spout was available. Lots of rocks so be wary bringing dogs who try to eat anything and everything! 10/10 definitely want to return!Cassidy A.

55Went there for the 1st time today!!!!
The yard is so wonderful !!!the fence is awesome. There’s no place for them to get out or try to sneak out. It is a large open area. The Astroturf instead of grass is such an awesome idea. I’m so impressed I brought bags and treats just in case I needed to coax them back 😄Everything was there. That You would need our three dogs had a wonderful time. They didn’t want to come home and put them in the car and they cryed all the way home. Thank you so much for making our first experience. Such an awesome one we left just a few minutes early due to the heavy storm that was coming in by the time we got in the car it just poured down so it was perfect. Thank you again. We will be there soon will let you know and make a reservations. God bless you !!!!
Thank you❤️

55My pup had such an awesome time! It was way bigger than I expected. Very great spot if you only have time in the evenings, as the outside lights were so bright! Will definitely be back to visit :) gabe e.

55Awesome spot to take my 2 golden retrievers. Lots of energy was burned today. Easy booking clean yard. The huge plus is they came home clean because of the turf. Highly recommended this spot. Michael Z.

55Beautiful backyard with astroturf and stone and plenty of shade. Suited for dogs that are NOT low riders. I have multiple dachshunds and one of them got himself stuck under the house deck. He loves to hunt and his nose got him into trouble. Fortunately, the homeowners arrived home in time to help extricate my problem child. There are also a couple areas in the entrance fence that were high enough that my littlest could have gotten under.
It’s a perfect area for dogs bigger than miniature dachshunds. Very well maintained and plenty of room to run around. April S.

55This was our fourth or fifth time having our dog Bowie here, and it was just as great as the first time! We love being able to run him around in a large space where he doesn’t end up covered in mud. Kate D.

55Loved that this was artificial turf. With a doodle, mud is a constant battle… so this is perfect! They also have patio furniture which was nice as an owner to have somewhere to sit!Sophie H.

55This was such a great experience! The turf makes playtime mud-free, and there’s many different areas for running and exploring! They also have a hose and a small doggy trash can for bags. Will definitely be back! Lindsay P.

FAQ about our Stow 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 Stow 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 172 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 36 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.
