55Both of them were extremely kind and welcoming. They greeted us when we first arrived and showed us around. Our dogs had a wonderful time! It was a lot of space for two dogs and there were lots of toys for them to play with.
We arrived 20 minutes late, and Richie was kind enough to let us stay a little extra.
Highly recommend this spot, would definitely come back!Cindy W.

55Richard’s spot is amazing! The yard is big, fully fenced, and has different levels for play and different terrain. He walked us thorough the whole layout and put out toys, water and chairs. We had a great time chatting with Richard and our pup Clio had the time of her life running laps and throwing around the toys. Highly recommend this spot and we will definitely be back!Ashley M.

55Richard greeted me upon arrival and gave me a tour of the yard so I knew the lay of the land! He had some toys and balls ready to go, as well as a bowl and water. My dog had a great time sprinting around - there's lots of space and good enrichment via a mix of leafy woodsy area, a set of stone tiers to jump up and run along, and the space around the house and immediate backyard. It is in a very quiet area, and parking was a breeze (Richard has you park right in the driveway). My dog and I are excited to come again in the future!Eliza D.

55We had a great time at Richard's place! He gave us a quick tour of the yard and we appreciated the water bowl, easy access to the outdoor faucet, and toys he had for us to use. Izzy was thrilled to meet a new friend and Richard seemed just as happy to meet her...he's definitely a dog lover! Izzy tired herself out with zoomie circuits of the entire yard and enjoyed sniffing her way around the different levels. We did some recall practice on the lawn, tug, and hide-and-seek. Then we enjoyed the sitting area while Izzy hung out in the woodsy area watching squirrels beyond the fence and kids playing outside the apartments across the creek. The fencing is very secure so we had no need to worry when Izzy was out of view. We will definitely be back!Katie K.

55Richard & Rosie are great, they came out to meet us and show us around their backyard. They even offered my mom a blanket on the cold afternoon while she watched her grand-dog play.
The yard has a lot of nooks and crannies, so lots of things to sniff. My Rudy found it very interesting. His favorite game is hide and seek, so it was perfect for that. Milan M.

FAQ About Waltham 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. 7% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Waltham 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 405 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 698 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.
