55Great spot for my two malamutes to stretch their legs after a road trip to Florida from Ohio to visit for Christmas. Host was very responsive with my questions. The yard was clean, secure and did the trick, both dogs are sleeping now!Mary Catherine K.

55This was a wonderful experience for us. We don't visit public dog parks. The fenced in land was beautiful with large trees to provide shade, and it has chairs, picnic table, and an obstacle area for dogs. Communication was top notch. We will be back..Susan B.

55Beautiful property! I was actually blown away when we pulled up because it looked like an actual dog park. The grass was nice and short, and there were lots of toys and agility equipment. This was out first SniffSpot experience and it was 10/10. I'm so thankful that I could bring my reactive dog someplace new and let him run as much as he wants - even though he was worn out in twenty minutes lolAmanda S.

55Really nice quiet setting. Clean and very well managed. My two pitties had a great time exploring. We don't go to traditional dog parks, so this off leash opportunity was very much enjoyed by all of us. Will be back. Sharon L.

55This was the most magical experience for me, my boyfriend, and my dogs. They enjoyed running across the green plush field while exploring the completely fenced in acreage. I am unable to take my small dogs to the dog park, as I fear their safety. This was the perfect experience to let them off the leash, so they could run and play while I felt anxiety free. You can see the host pours their heart and soul into making a memorable experience for animals. We will ABSOLUTELY be back!Vicky L.

55This sniffspot is a huge 3 acres with lots obstacles that our dog enjoyed hopping through. He loved splashing in the tubs of water and it kept him cool. The field is quiet, nice and clean and there are some curious sheep in the back. Yeliz C.

55Absolutely love this location. It's plenty of room and acreage for our big boy to exhaust himself and there is no weak points in the fencing all the way around so no need to worry at all about any escape artists getting out. Scott R.

55We loved this spot. Very secured and it has shaded areas to chill and relax. Our pooches enjoyed running around and trying the obstacles. We felt safe and had a blast. Water was also provided for them which was really nice. It was a little of a drive for us but so worth it. We will be back for sure! Maria D.

55Such a lovely and clean spot! My dogs had a great time playing fetch and being brave in some of the tunnels. Sunset here was gorgeous. Owner was very responsive and so kind. We’ll be back if we can swing another visit before we leave town!Sarah K.

55This was our first time using SniffSpot and first time being able to let our pup run free! We adopted Rico with heartworms earlier this year and have spent the past 7 months nursing him back to health. He wasn’t able to even play indoors on his treatment, so we dreamt of the day we could let him run free. This was the place of our dreams! We drove 40 minutes from Orlando to Mt. Dora and it was a very easy commute. Easy to get to down a dirt path, and into the lot. Perfect fencing, he couldn’t try to get out if he wanted to. And he didn’t! So much space to run. The grounds are perfect and really free of any bugs and very minimal ants or hazards that our curious boy could get into. We loved the full tub of cold water, Rico went to it when he needed to and it was perfect for him. The property has an amazing agility course I’d love to try to get Rico to learn. They provided also balls and a ball launcher and now we’re looking to get our own for him. Perfect toys to throw back and forth. Plenty of shade and places for humans and dogs to sit. Absolutely loved every second of it. The communication/response is quick. So happy to have been able to use this space!Alexis R.

55This spot is absolutely beautiful and peaceful. The yard is very well cared for. The field is secure. We didn't see anyone or any other animals. We did hear dogs barking in the distance but they didn't bark long. Lots of shade and sun and plenty of room for the dogs to run. We will definitely go back. Kelly L.

55Beautiful, quiet, and secluded. The property’s large with plenty of trees to provide shade. It has an obstacle coarse that my dogs didn’t give a hoot about but it was still so much fun trying to get them to interact. Water is provided in a trough and there’s lots of balls and doggy bags for the fur babies. 5/5, will definitely be back! Sam H.

FAQ about our Wildwood 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.
