55Excellent place to take my two French Bulldogs to. Huge yard for them to run around in, sniff around and play. Elizabeth left out fresh water bowls throughout the property as well. Very safe and secure fencing, so I didn’t need to worry about my dogs running around. I will definitely be bringing my dogs back. Liz B.

55It was a awesome yard, my dog loved exploring it and loves the toys the owner left for him to play with, she left a towel also for easy paw cleaning after which was super nice, will definitely be renting again!🙌🏼Jordan V.

55Wonderful spot, clean and beautiful back yard. Host was very helpful. I was not familiar with the area and Google maps was a little confusing so don't be alarmed if it takes you down a lane marked private.Kira X.

55Thank you! My dogs had a wonderful time running around your large grassy area! I felt they were very safe with the high, continuous fence. It was a hot day today, but there was plenty of shade to rest in, and lots of fresh drinking water. The treats and toys were a thoughtful touch. The ample parking made parking a breeze. My dogs would love to return sometime soon. Thanks again!Nigel M.

55Lovely private yard spanning all sides of the house -- lots of room for our pup to run around in, and enough trees to provide shade for the humans!Nelson E.

55This is a great spot! Nice open yards with lots of options, and toys to play with in a little shelf. We used this for a meet-n-greet training session with our friend's dog and they really had a good time. The neighbor dog barked a few times but the owner was responsive and it was not a persistent issue. Did not see or hear the host dogs at all. We will be back!Cathy S.

55Wonderful private yard! It was very dog-friendly with areas that had dirt/ bark dust, landscaping pebbles, and lots of lawn to play in. It was nice that were toys, dog treats, and water available. Love the seating area too!Natalie D.

55The spot was fenced and the yard was large enough for my dog to play ball and the host was very nice and responsive to my questions.
However, there are dogs inside that barked when they would see us through the window, but we were able to stay out of view for the most part. I would recommend this spot to anyone looking for a place in town for their dogs to play. kris r.

55Wonderful spot! Fully fenced and the back fence you can see other back yards and even a couple of dogs on the back. They were super nice, never barked and it was across an alley (no direct contact). This gives added enrichment and socialization for pups while in a safe space. Alyssa also left us a clean bowl with water and a bottle next to it to refill. Our dogs had a blast! Yael O.

55There are lots of amazing scents here for our dogs and room to run a bit. The trees and covered porch and bench swing are great places for us to sit or stand in the rain. The trees keep the yard from becoming a wet muddy mess. The toys Alyssa has out are just perfect for the short time we are at the spot. We love it and more importantly our dogs love it!! Note: there is a spot where the fence is around 4 feet but our dogs have not noticed it. Everywhere else it's 6 feet.Gretchen D.

55This was my first sniff spot experience. Host was responsive, super friendly and accommodating after I made a booking error for the wrong day. We arrived, and the yard seemed really good, large and fenced with a covered porch for keeping out of the rain. My reactive dog barked too much at the hosts dogs so we left early. The host did write details about having dogs in the window but I missed it, so wasn't fault of host. Great convenient spot and super friendly host. Give it a try!Melisa A.

55The spot has a very nice big backyard that's fully fenced. The host provided bottled waters, snack bars, and even a little bag of dog treats. We visited the spot because we were having construction done on our home this week and we wanted to get our dog away from the loud noises for a little bit. Our dog was already so stressed at home that when we took him to the spot he was still very stressed so we couldn't stay long. However, I do think that this is a great spot for a dog that's just having a normal day haha. Aura F.

FAQ about our Springfield 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. 97% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Springfield 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 15 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 5 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.
