55We love Allison's! We try to go as often as we can when we pass through Petaluma. My dog loves the pond and all the space to chase balls in. It is a great place to play with her, to train and to hang out and have some time in the beautiful countryside while she plays. The hosts are welcoming, friendly and very easy to communicate with. I am very happy that the hosts share this space as a sniffspot!kathryn o.

55We had a lot of fun. It was clean and comfortable. Hope enjoyed the water while Chance explored. There were even toys to play with and fresh water. They even provided bags and a garbage can for the presents our babies leave behind. Thank you, Allison. We will be back!Marie R.

55This was a great experience for our older blind dog Ely, a retriever who loves to swim with his whole heart and soul. He can no longer tolerate activities like WaterBark and having this private swimming pond he could have to himself was just what I have been looking for. Will definitely be taking him again.Dianna V.

55Great spot with a person made pond in-which my dog Phil would not get out. He loved every second he was there. The host were very off hands and we had little interaction with them. Would highly recommend this place for anyway in the area or even passing through. Location was a stones throw off highway 101. Eric S.

55We had one hour of non-stop play with our pup! This was his first experience swimming and once he got comfortable he would leap from the sides to retrieve a toy. Fun to watch. The pond was perfect and just deep enough so that he could swim. Appreciate that it was aerated. Didn't feel like we needed to give him a bath after swimming. There was plenty of space for throwing the frisbee and ball. Instructions to enter and exit were very clear. We would definitely like to return!Lisa H.

55Alison’s is our favorite Sniffspot! There’s plenty of running room, a mud-free pond with shallow end for dogs learning to swim, and a comfortable shady deck for the humans. We have become regulars with our gang of Welsh Springers. Laura C.

55This was a great spot!! The pond was big enough for my water loving dogs to swim and chase sticks. And a big enough yard for them to run on land. The gazebo provided shade and poop bags ere provided incase you forget them. Krista D.

55Our dog Nova had a blast! She loved splashing and running around in the pond. There were plenty of balls and toys for us to throw for her and a good size field for her to run around. The gazebo provided plenty of shade and was a nice area to take a break from the heat! Kiona P.
