55Nayeli was a gracious host and incredible in terms of communicating and hospitality. Her yard was fully fenced which allowed my dogs to be off leash and they absolutely LOVED her backyard. Both of my dogs were able to explore in a safe and clean environment without worry for my reactive dog. I can’t put into words how grateful I am Nayeli opened up her yard to my dogs and he was able to experience something new. Answering the questions I do see they asked if there were any triggering noises within 50ft or if i could hear other dogs, while the neighbor did let their dog out and he let out a singular little bark, it was nothing to trigger my dogs only make them a little curious but they quickly moved on. adrianna v.

55Absolutely fantastic time! My poor Great Dane mix is afraid of dogs he doesn't know, and living in an apartment is hard for him. It was so nice to see him and his doggy brother run around so carefree! And my German Shepherd had a blast with the pool. Not to mention it was super nice for us owners too! The swinging chair was insanely comfortable and there were so many nice touches to make us feel at home. We can't wait to visit again 🐾💚Amanda H.

55My girl had a great time! She was able to do what she normally does at Sniffspots — sniff and run. There was plenty of room for her without obstacles.

55We had such an incredible experience at Meghan’s Room to Zoom fenced in big backyard! There was plenty of open space for my two high energy pups to run free to their heart’s content. We felt very safe and at peace here, without any outside distractions during our stay. There were interesting and varying terrain for my dogs to excitedly smell and explore as well. We immediately felt at home, due to the charming tranquil set up for our visit when we arrived. We cannot wait to book with Meghan again extremely soon! Her communication and responsiveness was top notch, and she also stocked the patio area with anything y’all may need! I sincerely appreciated all of the thoughtful touches that enhanced our time here, and truly look forward to another wonderful stay in the future. My pups were absolutely ecstatic for such an amazing opportunity to have a fantastic adventure together, and were beyond happily exhausted when we left. We are so grateful that you hosted us today Meghan, thank you again :)Cassandra R.

55This booking was for a friend’s dog who needs to run like my girl does. He had a fun time although the neighbors’ small dog was out and he wanted to bark at the dog. It was an opportunity to work on recall with him though.Cindy F.

FAQ about our Marion 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?
