55Great time! Host left a full bowl of clean water, as well as a full jug of water to refill. There were some small toys there as well. Lots of good spots to run and hide! We will be back so soon. Emma G.

55Our 2 dogs loved running this spot. The trees and gardens make for a fun game of chase. Typically the husky gets bored and starts looking for escape routes, which stresses me out😄. Here he was very entertained and ran the whole hour. The fence is perfect for a dog that has hops. The neighbor did have a dog that barked when we arrived. Altaira Z.

55My pup had a great time at Martha’s. Plenty of yard/garden areas to explore. It’s on a corner so a few cars did pass. FedEx, garbage truck, a walker too. It didn’t bother us. We didn’t see/hear other pets at our time. There’s nothing out of the ordinary imo about the yard. A filled water bowl was provided but I always carry. It’s a beautiful, safe, secure space. We will go back again. :) Kathy H.

55Perfect! Tall and sturdy fence all the way around. Big and open yard with lots to sniff. You can fit a softball through the gate slats, but that's about it. We will definitely be coming back!Christian B.

55This was our first time trying something like this and my two Aussies had an absolute blast! It was extremely secure, even for my two escape artists and lots of area to run and play! Madison F.

55We had such a wonderful visit!! Tons of places to sniff, lots of shade, and more than enough room for my service dog to get her "zoomies" out. The fence is super solid, and the owner also left a bowl of fresh water out for us. We loved this location and will absolutely be back! Samantha L.

55Super stimulating environment! I brought my service dog, Mesa, and she sniffed for almost 15 minutes straight before even looking up. The yard has lots of foliage and tons of shade-- it feels very "Secret Garden". The host kindly left out a bowl of water-- we brought our own but we are always grateful for more when it's hot out! We really enjoyed our time there today, and we'll be back! Samantha L.

55The yard was absolutely beautiful. The gazebo was very nice to sit in while the dogs explored. It was very quiet and peaceful. This was their first time, so I believe if we continue to come, at least once a week, they will get more comfortable and run around more. Lee-sa D.

55We had a great visit today at Martha’s Sniffspot! I booked the spot pretty last minute the day before and was really happy with the availability. The location was easy to find and there was a parking spot in the driveway available. The fence was really easy to get in/out. The entire yard was beautiful, clean, and safe for my dog. It was a little muddy which is normal after all the rain we had, so maybe take your shoe choice into consideration! My dog had a blast running around off leash. She had plenty to explore and there were no hazards. The yard is fully enclosed and there are houses nearby where you can also see the neighbors yards. Everyone in the community was very quiet and calm. The owners were very respectful and we didn’t hear anything from them. Definitely hope to revisit! R C.

55This is a beautiful yard. My youngest wouldn't walk around unless I walked with him. If I sat in the gazebo, he stayed there, so after 30 mins. both of them were just laying in there with me, so we left. Nothing to do with yard. Just dogs weren't utilizing it.Lee-sa D.

FAQ about our Hershey 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.
