55We had such a great time. It was my dog Milo’s first introduction to water and he was curious but a bit scared. He still had tons of fun running around the open area and he loved playing with the hose water when I was rinsing him down. The area and pool was very clean. The only thing was that I leashed up Milo for some training and someone had opened the front gate. They were friendly and waved but if Milo was not leashed up he probably would’ve ran to the human to be friendly haha. Overall we had a great time and can’t wait to be back, thank you!! 💕Katherine F.

55We were so thankful for an opportunity to let our little girl swim one last time before she went over the rainbow bridge- she wasn’t sick, just old and really tired. Thank you for opening your home in this way. She enjoyed it, and that was a huge comfort for us 💔🐾❤️L. “Michele” M.

55Perfect spot for a relaxing swim and plenty of room for the puppies to roam. Lots of shade was available. The pool was just the right temperature and was well maintained. Zuko especially enjoyed the dog toys. April S.

55Our pups had such a fantastic time running around the yard and swimming in the pool. The pool is large and clean and the patio around it has good gripping texture to keep pups and people from slipping. There were toys and bowls provided and a hose for rinse off. We will definitely come back again!Samantha R.

55Gus had a great time! He’s not a big water dog, but appreciated dunking in once or twice. The yard was more his speed - he had a blast chasing squirrels and birds! Highly recommend this spot. Keara C.

55A local favorite spot! Each of my 3 dogs love different parts of the yard; the pool for my swimming dog, a securely fenced in yard allows one of my flighty dogs an opportunity to run off leash, and the large area of grass/bushes afford my little ample sniffing opportunity for my little. Great host that promptly responded to messages. Liz P.

FAQ about our Gainesville 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.
