55Great for your water dog and worth paying extra for pool access just for the cozy shaded seating and clean deck next to it. Our senior dog had trouble getting in and out of the pool but jumpers will be fine. Note the pool is 5 to 8 feet deep, so if you go in to assist you can only stand at one end. Whole area was very clean and well fenced. The backyard play area was high quality astroturf, also very well kept. Our host thoughtfully provided extra towels and a bunch of toys for dogs big and small. Would book again!Philip B.

55My dogs loved this Sniff Spot! The host was very communicative. The turf was a huge plus, they didn’t get quite as dirty as they normally do playing in grass or dirt.Audrey S.

55We had a great time! The host is very kind and provided toys, towels and sunscreen for us. 🤍 The pool is separate from a turf yard which is a nice, large area for dogs of all size to run. Will definitely come back 😊Paige N.

55This sniffspot was amazing and I honestly was very surprised it wasn't booked! The yard was so beautiful, as well as the pool deck area, if you opt for it, which I personally recommend because it was such a blast! The personalized touch with our name by the entrance was a very sweet touch as well! We will 1,000% be returning ☺️Celeste F.

55So cute and clean, the dogs loved it! Pretty good sized we managed to play a little frisbee and get some zoomies, even tried out the tunnel! Tall fences and soft turf! We booked on kind of short notice for a mom lazy day due to a head cold- and they had a little welcome note ❤️❤️ Ariel J.

55Very peaceful and beautiful space! My dog is a bit older and tired out faster than I thought he would - which is a good thing! He sniffed and explored to his heart’s content. The backyard was very tidy, and the owner had a towel laid out on a lounge chair by the pool. Very thoughtful! We so appreciate you offering your wonderful space for us to utilize!Cassie B.

55We had such a blast at Jordyn’s! My
11 yr old boy loves swimming but gets a bit overstimulated at the beach - this was perfect for us! We went at 1pm so it was hot out but there was plenty of shade and the pool was perfect. Jordyn left out a clean towel and bowl of fresh water too. Doc wanted to stay and play/explore all day! Thanks so much!Liz S.

FAQ about our El Cajon dog water parks
Are dog water parks safe?
While public dog parks have a number of safety issues, such as aggressive dogs, disease transmission and general cleanliness, Sniffspot dog parks are 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. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits are 5 stars. If you are worried about whether you can have an enjoyable water experience, just know that it is possible to have peace of mind when visiting dog waterparks by following basic safety guidelines. Some great ways to stay safe around water with your dog include learning canine CPR and keep an eye on your dog at all times to ensure they are not distressed. You can learn more about safety around water here.
How can I find the best dog water parks in El Cajon?
How do I know if a dog water park works for my dog?
Start by applying basic filters, such as fencing and distractions, to find a dog park that works for your dog. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our fully fenced dog water parks. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our dog water parks where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. Make sure to review the amenities of the spot to see what kind of water features are offered to make sure it works for your dog. If your dog is not a strong swimmer, then perhaps choose a dog water park with tamer water features rather than a river or beach, for instance. We also recommend reading reviews and reaching out to the host with any questions, and of course, checking water park hours.
What are the requirements to bring my dog to a Sniffspot water park?
We require that all dogs 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. Additionally, we recommend following our water safety guidelines.
Will there be other dogs at the Sniffspot water park at the same time as me?
Sniffspot only allows one booking at a time and any host dogs are required to be kept away from the spot during visits. We also enforce 30 min time buffers between bookings.
If you are planning an amazing dog water park party, each Sniffspot water park has their own rules regarding special events. Many water parks allow doggie birthday parties, training and other event types. Event organizers need to be responsible for their guests and event organizers should coordinate with the host regarding their fun party.
What are the coolest doggie water features available?
Sniffspot dog water parks can have a variety of features, everything from swimming pools to rivers to beaches to hoses and kiddie pools. If you are dreaming of a curtain of water, water tunnels, a ball pit pool, water slide ball pits, splash pools or other cool features, you can definitely find amazing features at Sniffspot dog water parks. Each water park is different, so check the details of the park to find the incredible dog water park of your dreams.
