55Such a great set up! Loved the little pool and all the toys. Sadly, all my dog wanted to do was smell everything, but maybe next time he will play. Dawn S.

55It was lovely, very well kept and safe place. The toys, the clean bowl of water, shade for the humans… running water (hose). A lovely back yard. The only challenge are the three doggies right next door… they loved to pay attention to Laurence… 🤪Kalliopi L.

55It’s hard to find a place for our reactive dog to be able to play freely without anything stressing her out. Both of our dogs loved it here! Huge yard, super secure fence, plenty of room for play. Host left balls and water out as well. We will definitely be back! Thanks so much for having us! Brett M.

FAQ about our Mathews 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.
