55Amazing as always. It's not just the pool and yard but also the little touches. There was a welcome sign for me and the dogs. They were even nice enough to give them a treat because they had extras from a puppy party.Carly R.

55Susie and her husband were so attentive and very kind! The pool is gorgeous and despite our lab being afraid of the water- he was able to run a ton of energy out in the fenced in yard area! We would absolutely come back! Alexia R.

55Susan's Pool was a paradise for our girl. Scout was celebrating her first birthday, and when I told Susan that I wanted a birthday party... she went above and beyond. Se created a package that included dog and human cup cake, beverages for adults, water station for the puppies, tows, bubble bacon flavor. I can't take Susan enough for how much joy everybody and the puppies had. Can't wait to be back and thank you SusanPaola C.

55The pups loved the yard and had a blast playing fetch. The yard is spacious and with nice thick grass and plenty of areas to sit down. There was a water bowl but didn’t see a faucet. Just be mindful you will park by the street right in front of the house, instead of pulling in driveway. Overall, we really enjoyed it. I will definitely be back.Vanessa W.

55Thank you for hosting me and my two dogs. It was very relaxing and my dogs had a great time. The only noises we heard the whole time were some landscapers at the Neighbor’s home. Will definitely be returning. This was perfect for my two dogs who are cooped up in an apartment temporarily. David H.

55Easy to get in and around! There were some balls to play with and a (small) filled water bowl (bring an extra water bottle with you if you have a big or thirsty pup!) There are stairs to go down upon entering, just be careful. Lots of grassy space to run around, play fetch and explore :) plus a little outdoor lounge area to sit and relax or cool off!
Didn't see any people or other dogs from the backyard (you might if you went right up to the fences closest to the steet). The dogs that live there were in the house at the windows barking the entire time - wasn't an issue for me or my boy but might be good to know for other more reactive pups!Morgan D.

FAQ About Matthews 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.
Are dog parks safe?
While public dog parks have a number of safety issues, such as aggressive dogs, disease transmission and general cleanliness, Sniffspot dog parks 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. 14% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Matthews area are 5 stars.
How do I know if a dog park works for my dog?
You can filter Sniffspot dog parks by fencing and distractions. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our 287 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 469 off leash areas where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can also filter locations to avoid other domestic animals and people. We also recommend reading reviews and reaching out to the host with any questions.
