55Tony and Kim are such great hosts!! There was actually an error with Tony’s app and he didn’t know I was coming but he still let us use his yard and even sent us home with some homegrown tomatoes!!! The yard is very nice and fully secure. His two dogs are very sweet and got along with the pups I brought over as well Yanina M.

55We had a blast here, the yard was a great size and the pool was perfect for our dog's first introduction to swimming. The owners left a cute welcome sign for River. The location was easy to get to and a great outing for our family and fur baby.Dana O.

55This spot is awesome! Very clean and large space. Perfect spot to teach my dog to swim in a pool for the first time. He also loved playing fetch on the artificial grass. Quiet neighborhood and easy access. Can’t wait to go back and add on the humans in the pool extra 😋Angela D.

55Roann was very responsive and sent a reminder of rules. Her place is super clean and neat. My pup had a good time and was really intrigued with the pool. I’m excited to teach him more swimming when the cold months pass. Thanks again Roann! Sheryl T.

55The spot was perfect! Lots of grass, minimal to no dirt. There is a large tree which provided ample shade from the midday sun. There was a table we sat at. We had brought water, but the host had left the hose out if we needed it.
We had a great time and would 10/10 come back. Nicole V.

55Very nice and shaded yard :) My only issue would be that there is a public playground next door and the fence is see-through. Luckily no one was there while we were there but having a reactive dog I know that would not go over well if there were. Thanks! Reilly W.

55Nice, big clean yard. East to find. Parking was easy. Owners were friendly. My dog was a bit distracted/focused on the kids playing next door but it was NBD. Good stimulation as long as you’re dog isn’t kid phobic. Melissa V.

55We really enjoyed our time at this location. I’m so happy there is finally a sniffspot so much closer to our home. There’s a lot of shade which we loved! The only thing I’d bring up is that one of my dog’s is reactive and there is a gated fenced that outlooks a park. It looked like a private park for residents only which is good and no one was there so that was nice but I did have to keep an eye out to make sure no dogs showed up to that park. Other than that, everything was great! The host was very nice and helpful when needed. We will definitely be back again!!Lisa L.

55Decent sized yard, with lush green grass and plenty of shade to relax in while your dog plays! We don’t have any grass on our small patio, so my dog loved just relaxing outside on a warm day. We will definitely come back with a dog friend to encourage more play, but it was great to have a yard to hang out in for awhile. Katherine T.

55Awesome space!! My dogs loved it. Only thing to be aware of is the kids in the adjacent park. My dogs are reactive so they barked quite a bit but the fencing is secure so it was all good. 10/10Stephanie S.

55Sonia’s yard was fantastic and the family was so lovely and welcoming! Bear had the best time romping around and lounging in the shade. The yard was a great size and so clean. I didn’t have to worry about Bear getting into anything or messing anything up lol. I will definitely become a regular at Sonia’s :)Melissa D.

55Our older pup was more interesting in sniffing about and watching some birds over all his toys we brought tp play with but he is an old man and it was still so nice to be able to let him explore freely. They kindly left out water and the yard was nicely kept. :)Marina M.

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.
