55My golden had a blast swimming in the pool! This is a very nice spot for any water-loving dogs! The host provided plenty of shady areas to sit, tables to set down any belongings, dog toys, poop bags, water bowl, treats, etc. We highly recommend checking it out! Heather B.

55Absolutely gorgeous fenced in backyard with lots of space to run around and the pool was icing on the cake! Today was my dogs’ first time in a swimming pool and it was such a fun experience!! We will definitely be back again! My only word of caution is that there are some bushes between the property and the neighbor’s property containing green sticky burrs so next time I’ll need to keep my dogs away from that side brush area. 😊 Overall fantastic experience!

55Penny and her friend Dayley had a blast at this spot! Hunter Dayley was obsessed with watching the frogs in the pool while Penny loved being out of the house and by water. Both dogs have some limitations with age or leg issues and we were easily able to accommodate their needs while allowing them to enjoy the new environment with some of their favorite things. The setting was also clean and easy to use with things one may need such as toys, treats, big spray, towels, sunscreen, etc. We hope to be back again next year. Thank you!Jessica G.

FAQ about our Grand Rapids dog fields
Are dog fields safe?
If you are looking for an adventure, but also looking for safety, Sniffspot dog fields are a great option. While public dog parks have a number of safety issues, such as aggressive dogs, distracted dog owners, disease transmission and general cleanliness, Sniffspot dog parks are much safer than public dog parks. With Sniffspot all bookings are private space for just you and doggy friends you bring with you and we require all dogs to be vaccinated (or have equivalent titers). Especially for training, privacy is ideal. Contrary to public dog parks, all Sniffspot locations are vetted and reviewed by guests so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog for off leash exercise or outdoor training. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits are 5 stars, while public dog parks often do not even have verified reviews. All payment is done securely online by credit card in a few simple clicks.
All park rental information is available online. Start by filtering parks by fencing, size and distractions, to find a private spot that works for your dog. If your dog has poor recall, you can visit one of our secure fields. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our dog fields where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can review the details of the listing to make sure it works as your desired activity space, for example, safe dog exercise, dog training, a stress-free adventure with your furry friend or even a puppy event. You can even check the park amenities chart for amenities such as indoor training facilities, agility field, synthetic turf, exercise balls or field parking availability in advance. If inclement weather is an issue or poor field conditions, you can reschedule your visit up to 2 hours in advance.
What are the requirements to bring my dog to a Sniffspot dog field?
We require that all four-legged friends have basic vaccinations or equivalent titers. We do not allow dogs with a bite history. We require that guests sign our waiver and agree to follow our safety rules. Make sure to check host rules before visiting to ensure, for instance, that you are following allowable sports activities rules and any special events rules.
Will there be other dogs at the Sniffspot field at the same time as me?
No. Facility rentals are for private play time and any host dogs are required to be kept away from the area during visits, so this is perfect for a private adventure for you and your doggie friends, and perhaps a human friend. Hosts understand that many guests have dogs in training and are nervous owners. So when you book a Sniffspot dog field you have the entire private spot to yourself. We also enforce 30 min time buffers between time slots so you will not run into other guest dogs or a previous person when coming or leaving in the field parking area. Some hosts may have multiple fields, but there is always a buffer between fields.
