55This property is absolutely AMAZING! I would add that it’s probably best for dogs with decent/reliable recall or dogs that know to avoid running across covered in-ground pools, neither of which I can say about my two pups.. I frequent fenced-in SniffSpots because they love to chase each other at full speed without regard for me or anything in their path, and sadly that means they can’t do spots with covered in-ground pools..
Unfortunately, because I didn’t read the listing as closely as I should have, I drove 1.5 hours only to stay for a few minutes and drove home - I blame my busy dog mom brain for not paying attention to the listing details, which clearly stated there was a pool. Oops. I look forward to returning during warmer weather when the dogs can go swimming!
Happy (the host) was quick to communicate and seemed super nice, though I did not meet them.
The spot is clean, huge, and fully fenced/secure all around and would recommend it in a heartbeat!Amie F.

55My two dogs and I had a great time here!
The large yard is fenced w some agility toys and room to run and play. (I had misread the description and thought it was 5 fenced acres.) We also had fun exploring the woods in back but they are not fenced. Thank You so much!! Melissa S.

55A great spot for our dogs to get some energy out. The pool was a bit of a challenge for us, my husband had to play pool guard when they got the zoomies and stopped using their brains, but was glad to give them space to run and they had a little agility course which was great to have some other activity to keep them occupied.

55Well fenced. No dogs or people visible. This was a nice yard for off leash activity with my new-ish rescue who does not have good recall and for my dog reactive poodle. The fence is very high and secure. The woods outside the fence create a very quiet, low arousal environment. I think the hosts have a dog but we never saw or heard anything. Sharen M.

Mary's Fully Fenced Yard For Dogs To Rent In Stamford | Sniffspot
55Such a great spot! First time using this app and it did not disappoint! I took my sister’s dog who is not dog friendly so we struggle to find places for her to run and play fetch so this was a LIFESAVER. The pup had the best time and I was so relaxed. Mary was an awesome host…had water and toys and long leashes ready if needed and was super helpful, flexible and accommodating(even with me being late 🙈). Can’t give enough compliments…we will be back! Courtney J.

55Fully fenced as advertised and yard was clear, thus allowing our pups to safely roam and be their curious selves without fear of them getting a hold of anything they shouldn't. Owner was very welcoming and super kind to offer the flexibility for us to change timeslot when a full downpour rolled in at the start of our booking, but we decided to stick it out. We'll be back soon!Karie T.

Dog Heaven! A river/lagoon to swim and wade, grass to run and play and woods to sniff and explore! | Sniffspot
55I’m so appreciative the owners are sharing their beautiful property. My pups loved it. One note: enter the property from the front and walk around the house down by the river rather than going straight to the back down the driveway. That seems more off limits. Also, I picked up poop from someone else’s dog who left it. Tami R.

55This was my first Sniffspot and my pup and I had a great time. There is so much to explore. Since she has no recall I kept her on a long lead. The water was a great feature. Kim C.

FAQ about our Stamford 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 Stamford 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 475 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 94 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.
