55Great backyard, very clean and quiet. Our old lady was a bit anxious about the water but it was great to have the rest of the yard to play fetch as well! Robin B.

55My daughter had talked about being able to swim w/ her fur baby & I came across Sniffspot. We booked immediately! The host gave great instructions so we knew exactly what to do before arrival and answered all my questions. We met both Mo & Dan which were super nice & helpful. My family enjoyed the pool and yard w/ our fur baby! Thanks Mo & Dan for helping make my children’s dream of swimming with their dog come true! We will definitely be back! Jamisha G.

55Hosts were incredibly kind and offered additional instructions when they could. We had an absolute blast introducing our 6 month old puppy to a pool!! And she was definitely putting the “Sniff” in “Sniffspot”!
Will definitely return!!

55Took my two doggos out for a swim as a treat. It was last minute but the host was able to accommodate us. Unfortunately for her she had to answer to my old lady Labrador about how the steak she was grilling up was in fact, not for her. We ended up doing extra pool skimming as well because the same old lady managed to kick a honking clod of dirt out of the planter and into the pool. The pool was fantastic, the backyard itself was lovely, and the host was great. I hope we don't get banned for the dirt maneuver and can come back another day to play again. My dogs left (reluctantly) exhausted and spent the rest of the evening sleeping off the fun. Tracy D.

55Instructions on where to go and get in were perfect. The spot was AMAZING!!! Dexter has only played in a few inches of water and was hesitant to swim. Host gave me some advice on how to ease him into swimming and both Dexter and I had a great time. I had a very tired puppy when I got home! And that is saying a lot because he is a high speed playing machine. I will definitely be going back and 1000% recommend this spot to anyone!!!Shane M.

55Such a great sniffspot! The cleanest pool I’ve been to in a long time! The host sent clear instructions on how to access the property before the visit. Host left out a fresh bowl of water, treats and lots of pool toys. There is also a nice grassy area perfect for playing fetch. We used this as a pit stop on our road trip north and it was easy to access from 75. Thanks again! Michelle M.

55This sniffspot is excellent! Our dog loved the toys and jumping in the pool. We heard the dog(s) inside a few times, but it wasn't loud enough to be distracting. I don't think our other dog who is a bit reactive would be concerned with it. Overall a wonderful experience! Brooke M.

55A great backyard for your pups! A safe way to get your dog used to swimming. We had tried taking ours to dog parks with water but never felt settled with all the other dogs around. Good detailed instructions for an easy entrance and exit. Highly recommend. Tara P.

55My pup and me had a great time! The pool was just the right size for my dog to retrieve his favorite toy and swim back and forth. He also loved the pool dog float. We brought along a friend and her pup. Her pup was not interested in the pool but had plenty of green space in the backyard to run and play. I will be booking this space again and recommend this space for any person who has a dog that loves to swim!Karen R.

55This was our first time using sniff spot. We have a large, intimidating-looking dog that loves other animals and people. He sometimes gets a little too excited and jumps on people, so we don’t take him to dog parks. It was so nice for him to run around, sniff, and play in a new and safe space. This site was clean and the owners were so friendly. Instructions were clear. We would definitely come back.Rachel G.

FAQ about our Knoxville 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.

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.
