55We loved Kim’s spot! The yard was much bigger than expected and she had everything we could ever need. The spot was clearly marked and there was plenty of room for our three cars to park on site. There was so much room for our dogs to sniff and play and plenty of places for us to sit as well! She provided fresh water, clean bowls, extra poop bags, and plenty of toys. We will definitely be back! Michelle J.

55This was my first time trying sniff spot and theirs did not disappoint! Perfect fenced in area to bring your dogs and they provided anything I may need for the pups such as toys, water, pooper scoopers, and more! chloe d.

55So I reviewed once in the summer and now winter is upon us and again this spot went above and beyond. Fresh water was set out (and the frozen stuff broken out of the dish). As an amazing extra, they put out those little hand warmer things. This is definitely my go to spot when I’m in MA!E P.

55This spot is *awesome*. This is my go to spot when I’m visiting my Mom in MA. We even got a subscription to this spot. It is a little muddy at times but totally worth it. Easily contains my small dog (25.lbs) and has a digging area. The host also supplies toys and every time I’m go there is fresh water in jugs out fresh for my dog. The host is very conscientious and does all they can to cater to both my dog and myself. I have been using sniff spot for about a year and this is the spot I compare all the other spots (I travel a lot) to when we visit. E P.

55We came to introduce our adult dog to our new pup in a neutral area. The location was easy to find and set up as described. The owner let us know that there was an area of mud because of all the rain which didn't deter us. It was perfect for our needs because we could have the puppy off leash. We will be back soon!!Tracey R.

55Fence in excellent condition and lots of room for pup to run. Communication was great and we really appreciated all the amenities they offered. The bubbles were a hit and it was so thoughtful that they offered a towel since it was a little muddy (our pup throughly enjoyed it regardless). Will be back! :)Rachel L.

55Kim was kind enough to let us know about some mud in the spot after many days of rain and very kindly also left out water to clean our dog’s paws. Harley loved the toys and had a blast. Thank you Kim! Marina V.

FAQ about our Sturbridge small dog parks
Are small 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 are 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 park users so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits are 5 stars.
How can I find small dog parks in Sturbridge?
There are 151 small dog parks in the Sturbridge area. The most popular small dog park is . You can browse all of our small dog parks here.
How do I know if a small dog park works for my dog?
Start by applying basic filters, such as fencing and distractions, to find a dog park that works for your furry friends. If your dog doesn't respond to owner commands, you can visit one of our enclosed dog park areas. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our small dog park sites where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can see any park amenities provided, including a park bench, water for dogs or water features such as kiddie pool or water hose. If your dog loves water, you can go to a park with water features, but if they don't love water, you can avoid them. We also recommend reading reviews to check for park maintenance issues and reaching out to the host with any questions. And lastly, of course, check park hours. Many of our parks are open from dawn until dusk.
What are the requirements to bring my dog to a Sniffspot park?
We require that all dogs have basic vaccinations or equivalent titers. We do not allow dogs with a bite history. We require that owners sign our waiver and agree to follow our safety rules. We also require that pet owners follow safety protocols around water features.
Will there be other dogs at the Sniffspot park at the same time as me?
Sniffspot only allows one booking at a time and any host dogs are required to be kept away from the spot during visits. We also enforce 30 min time buffers between bookings.
If you are planning an amazing small dog park party, each Sniffspot park has their own rules regarding special events. Many parks allow doggie birthday parties, training, water parties and other event types. Event organizers need to be responsible for their guests and event organizers should coordinate with the host regarding their fun party. Make sure the park has amenities you need for your party, such as a park with lots of picnic tables with park benches.
