5510/10 exactly as described. We will definitely be making this a regular visit. VERY secure yard and lots of options for spaces to roam. Tons of shade and some chairs to sit. Our dogs used the pool and loved every minute of their visit. The host was very accommodating, they met us when we arrived and gave a little tour before leaving us to enjoy the beautifully maintained property. Emily S.

55This SniffSpot was nothing short of AMAZING! My pups had a blast walking the property and exploring all the smells. Plenty of room for my runner to chase her ball. The yard was very well kept. Extremely spacious and secure. Jeff & co. were so kind and welcoming! They even had disc golf set up for the humans. 10/10 recommend and will definitely be back during our time in Sarasota.Anthony and Megan A.

55Amazing! We used sniffspot for the first time and found Jeff’s Private Dog park. We have two 1 year old Jack Russells who are learning to swim and in training. What an amazing spot. The pool is screened in with a side yard fenced in and a sitting area and bathroom. There is another very big area for hot dogs to run that is fenced. Very clean area and the pool is great. Jeff was very welcoming and showed us the area. Best part is it is private which we loved for our boys. Also very reasonable! Highly recommend this amazing sniffspot! We will definitely be returning. Thank you Jeff. Rebecca K.

55This was a great place to let our dogs run off leash. We have a young German Shorthair Pointer who has a lot of energy and loves to chase lizards. There were a lot of trees and landscaping to keep her busy exploring. It’s hot in Florida in August, so it was nice that the trees also helped keep the majority of the yard shaded. We would definitely return. Wendy E.

55This spot is an absolute dream. We drove from Tampa bc it we were u see a hear advisory and wanted a shaded large area and a pool. Us and the dogs did not feel the heat like we would have thanks to all the old growth trees. The spot is beautiful and serene with hammocks and dog toys spread about. Water bowls and spicket. The pool was so much fun and so relaxing. Both of our dogs had the time of their life. Jeff is so sweet and we will be back. This is now a memory we cherish together.
I signed up for Sniffspot because we recently lost our first dog due to cancer and wanted to spend time as a family making memories and healing with our other two dogs without other dogs or people in the way of that. This spot was exactly what we all needed. Thank you so muchAngel B.

55This is such a lovely Sniff Spot. Absolutely a 10 star spot. The property is absolutely beautiful, secure and lots of shade and room to roam. We added the pool feature and it was just right for this Hot summer day. Plenty of various sitting areas. Hammocks, tree swings, and a nice little swing area next to the bamboo that you can hear creek as it bends in the wind. A great place for your pooch to get lots of exercise and lots of spots for you to unwind and relex. Sarah F.

FAQ about our Sarasota 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 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.

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.
