55Wonderful yard with so much to explore with fully secure fencing even throughout the wooded areas. The grassed area is very clean and well maintained, with details of even blocking off gardened areas so dogs can’t reach it. The host added SO many fun things for your dogs to on/with, she really has the BEST yard for any dog. So many options of toys, different agility set ups, etc. She even accommodates the humans with multiple options for them to be able to sit in, one of them being shaded. There’s a hose with 2 different sized pools to utilize … and the list goes on. Parking is great. And to top it off, she’s responsive, and made contacting her enjoyable and welcoming. 15/10 Heather L.

55The location is perfect for all dog types and has so many amenities. All the extras are available, from toys, agility options to a covered space and chairs for the dog Mom and Dads. Very clean and a well put together space. A must see! We will be renting again real soon. Clarissa B.

55This was our first SniffSpot experience and we will definitely be back! The yard was a dog paradise! There were toys, there were paths for exploring, parkour structures, and even a kiddie pool filled with balls to jump in! We live in a townhouse where dogs must be on a leash anytime they’re outside, so this is a perfect opportunity for some off-leash playtime very close to our home! Jennifer W.

55Noodles and Nugget had the BEST time exploring here. The hosts really thought of everything, there is so much for dogs to do and clear instructions for everything as well. We will definitely be back especially to use the agility set up once Noodles is a bit older! Jordan S.

55Ok so, in normal context, calling someone's backyard a HIDDEN GEM is probably a weird thing to say.. But, this place seriously is a hidden gem for anyone (or any dog) looking for a personal dog park in Salem! There are so many toys and agility things and tons of other interesting things that will make the hour pass very quickly, and very enjoyably!
We have never used Sniffspot before today, but I work across the street and often bring my dogs along. They were full of energy this morning, so I finally decided to check this place out. I am so impressed and thankful that a place like this exists to bring my puppies to on my lunch break. Ayla M.

FAQ About Salem 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. 4% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Salem 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 309 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 507 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.
