55We absolutely loved this sniff spot! It was our first time trying out the app and we wanted to give our husky mix a place to swim in the heat since we don't have a backyard for him. He absolutely loved it and so did we! Elyse had amazing accommodations like pool toys, water, and shampoo so we were able to wash him off after swimming. Overall an awesome afternoon and we will definitely be back! Kade D.

55This was Rocket's first time in a pool, I thought it was great, he didn't. This spot is perfect for dogs who love water and the pool is salt water, which feels great! The host provided toys, treats, and other goodies for me and my pup. There was plenty of space for him to run around to chase the ball. I'll definitely be coming back with my other dog, who loves water. It's one of the best sniffspots I've seen so far!Tiffany H.

55This was our second visit to McRuffin Bro’s Dog Pool & Park and it was just as excellent as our first visit. The only thing that made it better was that our dog, Sawyer, let us put him in the pool 🥰. We can tell that he is getting more relaxed and we love it! We've already booked our next visit! Can't wait!Shelby M.

55Awesome backyard and pool!!! Elyse was so friendly, nice, and welcoming!! The environment definitely made us feel welcome and at home!! It provided a very comfortable and safe space for a shy shelter dog I volunteer to take out of her kennel for the day. I will definitely be back and recommend this place for everyone 🤍Noelle J.

55What a perfect spot to cool off with the pups! Elyse was very accommodating and the backyard oasis was great for our pups to roam around and slowly get use to being around water. This was actually our very first Sniffspot experience so Elyse set the bar high for others! We would love to come back. Lani S.

55Absolutely loved McRuffin Bros !! I got to meet Elyse while doing the tour, she was very sweet & welcoming. My dogs and I had a great time in the pool. The weather wasn't great but the pool felt heated which made it 100% better. One of my dogs couldn't get enough of trying to bite the water shooting up from the little jets. Will definitely be back.Janine W.

55This sniffspot is the best! Not only does it keep us cool on these hot days - it’s also helping my oldest pup who has some spine & hip issues she’s dealing with. Our vet suggested more swimming & it has been wonderful! Thank you for sharing this beautiful space. Ashleigh D.

55Coolest sniffspot I’ve found yet. We drove an hour to come visit & it was 100% worth it. We had a blast, the yard is so nice & tidy. Elyse was super sweet. My pup had so much fun & we definitely want to come back. Laura M.

55We had so much fun! Our hosts were so gracious. We had a BBQ and fun in the pool! 8 adults and 4 small dogs. I forgot my seasonings and our hosts provided us seasonings! They also provided a blue tooth speaker, the BBQ Grill with accessories and toys and water. We were so comfortable and had total privacy. We will be back. 😊Dee P.

55Elyse was very good at communicating with us. The notification didn’t pop up right away on her phone when we arrived, but she was very nice and let us stay an extra 10 minutes to make up for it. The pool was the perfect size for my 95lb pup. It was deep enough that he could actually swim, while still having the shallow section to ease into it, since it was his first time. They had a whole basket of pool toys for him to play with, hoses to shower him off after (shampoo/conditioner if we needed it) , drinking water for him and even two bottles of water for us. We drove about an hour just for this and it was 100% worth it. We would love to be back in the future. Thank you Elyse! Madison R.

55I cannot say enough good things about this place. The pool is perfect for your puppies, my goldens were able to stand in the shallow area and loved jumping into the 5ft deep area. Elyse provided me all the information when I first arrived. I was able to park in the driveway which made it easy to load the pups in and out. The side yard has two gates so you can get them ready to run to the pool. There was toys, poop bags, treats and waters if you needed them. My dogs absolutely loved the water spots shooting into the pool. We will be back very soon and Elyse is a great host. Thanks again. Eric C.

55This is a great spot! We loved the salt water pool, it also has an extended shallow area that was perfect for our dog. She likes to be in the water with us but wants her feet to touch bottom at all times. We relaxed in the pool, ordered some dinner to be delivered and let our dog get the zoomies out running around the pool and yard. Elyse accommodated our last minute reservation no problem. We'll definitely return soon!Juli L.

55My pup and I had so much fun at this Sniffspot! I highly recommend for any pups that like swimming and are beginners - there is a shallow wading section with a cute fountain that my pup loved until he was confident enough to swim o the deep end!☺️Chelsey C.

FAQ about our Bloomington 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.
