55What a great spot to bring your pups, my dog's right off the gate felt comfortable and loved going around sniffing everything. I walked around and made sure everything was safe and secure for them and it was. The pool was lovely. My dog's are not avid swimmers but it was a great opportunity to teach them bit by bit. I did bring a life jacket for one of my dog's but the other didn't come in time for my golden. So glad life jackets were available. I threw one onto my golden and sure enough he fell in by accident and I was able to guide him back to the steps. So I would definelty say even if you don't use the pool just throw on a life jacket for those just in case moments. Loved walking around and seeing all the plants, so did my pups which meant that I was right behind them making sure they didn't trample on them. If your dogs tend to destroy plants I would just be weary. Overall great spot, great pool. My pups are super tired, glad we took the trip. Will defintly be back!Mandy E.

55Beautiful yard and 100% fenced in! The dogs loved having the pool. The host provided cold water, toys, towels and sunscreen for the pups (and humans) and it made the experience for all easy and worry free. We will be visiting again! Victoria F.

55Our pup has the best time here! So much space to run around and it was amazing to have the pool on a warm summer day. Ellie hasn’t learned to swim yet so it was a nice surprise to find a doggie life jacket - it came in handy in helping her build confidence in the water! We can’t wait to come back Rachael R.

55Hands down BEST sniffspot we’ve been to!
I have an older dog with arthritis and swimming is one of his favorite activities. In the summer it can be hard to find accessible swimming spots that aren’t overcrowded or closed down due to excessive bacteria, so this spot is a real gem for us.
There were toys and treats laid out for us, as well as drinks for the humans. There were also life jackets of all sizes laid out for both dogs and humans, as well as towels! I didn’t have to worry about packing anything- we just pop in and are immediately ready for fun.
We will absolutely be back this summer, what a special place and how gracious of Sherri and family to share it. Cara W.

55This was the best afternoon of our summer so far! What a beautiful space, and Sherri puts so many special touches on the experience. My pup, in particular, LOVED the collection of toys. He played with every one of the toys, multiple times each. The yard is lovely, with a sparkling pool and a huge, grassy lawn for chasing tennis balls and running crazed zoomie loops. I so appreciated the towels, the chilled water bowl for my boy, and the cooler of cold (people) drinks. Neither my pup nor I wanted to leave!Erin C.

55Truly such a beautiful space for the puppers! Everything about it is perfect! It was our girls first time seeing a pool so she was a bit hesitant but we are hoping she becomes more accustomed to it because she loves swimming in the ocean. We are so appreciative of the host for giving us a safe place to play ❤️Kayla A.

55Sniff spot was great! Although our pups didn’t like the pool but they loved running around in the yard! Toys, poop bags, water and life vests were provided for pups and even drinks for us. Towels also provided for us and pups which are so thoughtful! Patio was a nice place for us to get away from the son and just enjoy watching the pups play.
Love love loved this sniff spot only wished the pups enjoyed the pool more. Cindy K.

55Sammy’s playground was by far the best sniff spot we’ve been to. The instructions to enter/exit, dispose of poop, use the pool, etc., were all super clear. The amenities were the best I’ve ever seen, and the whole place was spotless. We will absolutely be back, and feel so very lucky that we get to share this amazing space!Elise D.

FAQ about our Hopedale 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 Hopedale 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 462 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 37 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.
