55After visiting some other Sniffspot places on other doggie dates, Janice’s is still my favorite. I so appreciate that if I’m busy & I don’t have time to pack my own treats & toys, there is a fabulous selection of ones there, plus there is also plenty of fresh water. Really excellent communication too on coordinating visits. Highly recommend! Emily L.

55Today was my first visit to Sweetwater Court Dog Playground. It was much better than I thought it'd be!! My dog Amy and I arrived to a personalized card and a dog treat bag!! Very welcoming atmosphere. There's plenty of dog toys, a dog pool, a dog house and seating for people. The playground was very clean and put together. Cathy was the contact and she was very nice to text with. My dog enjoyed sniffing and running around. We will definitely return to this peaceful and quiet playground!!Jeremy J.

55Ruby, Bella and Teddy Rose had an amazing time at Sweetwater Court Private Dog Park and Gardens while their humans enjoyed a picnic. The owners leave treats around the property (called a Sniffari!) and the pups get to discover them! Along with toys, fresh water to drink, benches, and a bag of treats to take home, this dog park is TOPS! The owners love dogs and really go out of their way to make sure you have a great visit!

55An amazing visit today. The addition of the “she shed” is a game changer. The porch area was great for me to sit and relax while Zeus played and he also enjoyed the shade and comfort with me. Wonderful time playing with Zeus and reading my book while he went on his “sniffari” Janice H.

55Arlow and I had a great time! Cathy had everything you could possibly want or need to spend some time relaxing while your pup has a blast!
We'll definitely be back.

55My three dogs had such a lovely visit!! The spot was clean and fully secured. I especially enjoyed that there is a double gate feature for added safety. The sniffari was an adventure that kept my dogs busy sniffing and chewing for the entire hour! There is so much space to run, a plethora of toys for play, gardens to sniff & dig in (although my dogs are not diggers), and pools for the pups to cool their paws in. The space was very inviting for dog owners as well as hosts - from benches and hammocks to the sunflower shed and porch where cleaning materials and hand sanitizer are provided as well as a large air conditioning unit for those especially hot days. The host Cathy is very warm & inviting and very communicative also. Halfway through our hour, we did see a neighbor's chickens wandering and dogs could be heard but not seen during our visit. My dogs can be reactive to instances such as these but due to the amount of fun provided, I was able to redirect my dogs from focusing too much on the chickens and they never barked back at the barking in the distance. I am a proud dog parent today after my visit and definitely feel this is both a safe and delightful sniffspot that we are more than excited to come back to!!Kaz R.

55The space and the amenities here are incredible. You can tell Cathy really cares about dogs and providing a loving space for them to be themselves. My pup really enjoyed the free pup cup, so much so that he tried to take the container with him! I will definitely be coming back soon 😊Nicole C.

55This was my first time using sniffspot and we were so impressed with everything at Sweetwater. The host has so many extras that make your time so much fun. we did the scavenger hunt and it was a blast. Our girl loves to sniff things out so it was perfect for her. The fence is super secure which was important for my little escape artist. Thank you so much for letting us use your beautiful property. We will definitely be back! Meadow S.

55We loved our visit to Sweetwater Court! Not only is it exactly as described and pictured, until you are there, the amount of relaxation I, as the human, had is simply off the charts.
Having to send our vaccination records to Cathy and Vernon gave me the peace of mind that we'd be spending time in a place that didn't risk my shepherd's health or mine.
My 9 year old GSD was joyous as she ran around, sniffed absolutely everything, and worked on her training with me.
Having a safe place to word on off leash recall and other commands is invaluable to me.
I chose Sweetwater Court for the more rural setting and we weren't disappointed. A gray tabby met us in the drive way, we heard chickens, a crowing rooster, other large sounding dogs barking, a woodpecker doing what a woodpecker does best and I believe possibly a peacock off in the distance.

55Unfortunately, we got rained out when it began thundering and didn’t get to stay for our whole visit, but we will absolutely be back. The owners offered to compensate us for the lost time, which they were under no obligation to do. It was just a very kind offer. The welcome area is so sweet, and there is absolutely nothing forgotten. It is so well-stocked—I’d brought a few toys for him, and didn’t need them at all! This is the most wonderful spot we’ve visited, and they clearly care about dogs. Sarah G.

55This was the nicest experience we have ever had at a Sniffspot. The host was extremely kind and more than accommodating, and Wallace had a wonderful time—he had a pup cup, ran around chasing tennis balls, and had his very first experience in a pool! We will absolutely be back. Thanks so much to Cathy for your generosity and kindness! ♥️Sarah G.
