55As always, our favorite spot. Our dogs never have this type of freedom, they had a blast! And the stream was a great spot to rest and cool down in for them.
The Google map is very helpful! Sydney J.

55We really enjoyed our private hike in the woods. My dog had a blast! There are lots of trails to explore but we did get turned around a couple times. We didn’t make it down to the brook but will be sure to check it out next time. The host and his children were outside in the yard and were very kind to give my reactive dog some space. Will be back for sure!!Amanda S.

55This spot is perfect for my high-energy, reactive dog. He thrived here, happily sniffing and running around without a care. I appreciated not having to worry about other dogs or keeping him leashed. The owner and his family were exceptionally welcoming and kind.Dariluz “.

55First time at this spot!! We will definitely be back my dogs had a great time and you’re not far from home. Nice to have peace of mind that you aren’t going to run into other unleash dogs. We booked in hour & 1/2 it was just enough.
Thanks so much.Pamela R.

55We have a leash reactive pup and live in the city, so this was truly a special spot for us. We traversed the trails for an hour and a half (about two miles I think?) and our pup had such a great time. So many new sights and smells. She even showed us some moves we didn’t know she had like walking across a log like it was a balance beam!
It’s hard to express how much these sniffspots mean to reactive dog families! Thank you to Charles for sharing this space with us. Laurel S.

55Charlie's place is a hidden gem for our pups to run free! The dogs had so much fun romping through the woods and smelling all the things. My dog is reactive on hikes with strangers so it was wonderful to be able to hike and relax with no worries of running into anyone. We will be back!Jennifer W.

55We had a fantastic time here with our dogs! They had a blast running free, splashing in the water, and getting wonderfully wet and muddy—just the way they like it. The trails were well-marked, the area was clean, and it felt like the perfect spot for adventure. It’s also a great alternative for dogs who love to explore but aren’t fans of crowded dog parks, like one of ours. Highly recommend for an off-leash adventure!Sarah B.

55As a long time dog owner, I did not know that anything like sniffspot even existed. I came across this idea recently and decided to try it out. I found a piece of heaven with Charlie’s place!! This was a game changer for us and our dogs. Charlie was amazing and reached out to provide trail maps, recommendations for things we would need as well as a direct number for him in case we needed further while there. It truly blew us away. At the top of the trail head, we let our pups go and we have never seen them so happy! The trails are well outlined and easy to follow. We will definitely be recommending this place as well as visiting often. Thank you Charlie for being so amazing and offering such an incredible property for those of us that need a private space, I was able to breathe easy and not worry about running into other people or dogs. Thank you!!Ashley P.

55If you're looking for complete seclusion and want to get as much exercise as your dog for an hour or two, this is the place. We went at 9am on a Sat morning and we heard nothing but a creek, birds chirping and the snow crunching under our feet/paws. No one in sight. Beau took off and came back as he saw fit and I didn't have a worry in the world. I had lost the trail marker(s) once or twice but this kind of activity is new to us so I'm sure I wandered a bit. Coming back plenty this spring/summer. Won't get a better deal for true seclusion and peace of mind with a reactive dog. Candice K.

FAQ About Roxbury 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.
