55Ilona set out all of the pool/sunny day necessities and yummy snacks for the pups! She gave clear instructions on how to enter the backyard. This was my girls first pool experience and it was exactly what we needed! We had a blast splashing around and it wore the girls out, thank you for offering your home!Sydney B.

55I’d like to think my pup loves his day-to-day life, but this was just a next level of happiness it made my heart melt to see. Ilona was quick to respond and made for a great, spontaneous visit to this lovely spot! There were plenty of spots to sit / stand that I could see the whole area and feel comfortable with my pup running around, plus lots of spots for him to run in and out of the patio area for unlimited exploring.

55We had such a lovely time at Ilona's dog park. She bent over backwards to make sure we had everything we needed. She had water for the dogs and us and treats for the dogs. There were towels and toys. It is an older property, but the water in the pool was clean and the fencing was intact and kept our dogs safe. Our pups had a great time. The only drawback for us was the distance from our home. We are about 40 minutes away, but for those who are local it is nice access to a pool for your pups.Cindy B.

55Tamara has created a beautiful backyard oasis and we are so lucky she has decided to share. Her Sniffspot is a safe place with plenty of sun and shade and she’s stocked her poolside with towels and clean cold water. Definitely worth the visit. Shannon A.

55We booked this spot mostly because of the use of the pool. Tamara, was such an amazing and wonderful host! So many amenities from ice cold water for my pup, fresh towels and dog bags. The spot was safe and secure and I had nothing to worry about with my fur baby. I only wish I had taken a photo of him splashing in the pool, but we were having such a fun time, I didn’t get to! We can’t wait to go back and do it again!Kris K.

55We went there twice with our Golden. There are multiple fenced pastures to choose from and pools, toys, lots of different choices for your dog to play with. We drove about 45 minutes to get there because it's worth it for my Bentley when we are there. We are back in MA now and we will keep this on the top of our list next time we are there. Michele M.

55This spot is amazing! Clean plenty of room. Remember to bring your own potty clean up bags. I couldn't find a close trash can for disposal so I just took it and disposed at home. 10/10 will return!Shannon S.

55We had an absolute blast. We drove almost an hour to get there and it was 100% worth it. The dogs are tuckered out! We will definitely be back! Thank you for lending your property to dog parents like us who don’t have a yard for them to run, or just want extra play time without the stress of a public dog park! Madison B.

FAQ about our Venice 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 Venice 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 89 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 13 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.
