55The sniffspot is clean and beautiful with clear signage everywhere. The hostess is kind and communicative. We brought our 2 big dogs and they enjoyed romping and chewing the grass in the off-leash fenced area. I would be comfortable bringing my escape artist Pomeranian for our next visit because they have done a nice job preventing gaps in the fence. There were balls, rope toys, a wading pool, clean buckets for poop, poo bags, a water bowl, chairs for humans, milk bones, a towel and microfiber cloths, and a dozen warm eggs waiting for us. There were horse and chicken noises but none visible during our evening visit. We only saw a black cat. We did not visit the on leash areas but they appeared well groomed and a good place to lift a leg. Very nice peaceful place. Cindy H.

55This was our first experience using this app. We loved visiting Daisy’s Farms. The hostess was very kind and even had some refreshments for us. Everything was clean and well organized. Our dog was curious about the farm and wanted to check out all the open areas. Beautiful place.
Thank you so much! Nadia S.

55The best possible experience. Detailed instructions are very easy to follow, and there are plenty of signs posted around telling you where you can and can’t go. Plenty of space to run even for my escape artist husky. Brought him to let him see some farm animals and he ended up spending the entire time wanting to be around the friendly barn kitty that came out. Left with a dozen farm fresh eggs, a cold coke, and utterly tired husky. Great host was very responsive and accommodating. anna z.

55This is my favorite Sniffspot so far! The spot is extremely well-kept, clean, and has tons of open space to run. Fencing is very secure so the spot is completely worry-free. Donna was very communicative with instructions and an overall great host. We will be coming back! Alyssa G.

55The most beautiful sniffspot- clean, grass cut, trees and fences to sniff - ever. My Cavapoo ran around in circles repeatedly she enjoyed it so. My daughter's full sized "mutt" loved every minute as well. Thank you, Donna, for providing a lovely off leash acre for dogs in a "dogs must be leashed" world.Linda B.

55My two dogs had a great time at this Sniff Spot. It made me so happy to see them running at top speed, exploring and playing with each other. They had a blast. My dog Rosie fell asleep on the way home even though it was only a 20 minute drive! Donna left out toys, poop bags and water for us and the yard was very clean and safe. We will definitely be back!

FAQ about our Big Rock 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. 96% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Big Rock 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 341 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 42 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.
