55Really fun yard and pool. The pool ladder/steps was a little steep but our dog got the hang of it. Scout particularly loved the oinking pig toy and didn’t want to part with it when we left!Angela B.

55We used the yard for our first visit. There was a toy basket and freshly filled water bowl ready upon arrival, and the yard provided plenty of space for the dog to run around. Overall, the dog had a great time and we will be returning.Jack R.

55First time using Sniffspot and I had an amazing experience. I have two Labradors, and one is a true water bug. She had the BEST time and the other lab, who doesn’t like water, enjoyed romping around the huge fenced-in yard. This was truly an adventure for my two big dogs. There were towels and drinks and life jackets of all sizes. This was an awesome first experience and I will be back. If your dogs are cooped up all day or love to swim or roam freely, this is a great option. Easy process overall. Hannah C.

55This was our first experience with Sniffspot and what a FANTASTIC one it was! There are so many thoughtful details for both pups and humans. It was an amazing place for our swimmer and our dog who doesn’t like the water, as there was lots of room to run and sniff outside the pool area. The hosts left clear, concise directions that made the visit even more enjoyable. We will absolutely be coming back! Thank you!!Kelsie E.

55I was a little nervous taking my dog to the pool and to a new spot, however, I could not have had a better experience! Riggins ended up loving the pool and everything was set up perfectly. There were life jackets, toys, and towels. I was so impressed with the set up and the communication. I will definitely be back! Payton W.

55The hosts are great! They are very nice and accommodating. They have life jackets and all sorts of things if you are using the pool. There are no shallow steps into the pool though so the dog(s) have to be comfortable jumping off the ledge of the pool or using the available steps which are a little steep. Something to be aware of if you have little dogs or if they aren’t comfortable jumping a few feet to get into the waterMeg M.

55Loved it! Once I showed our pups how to use the steps they were “all in”. Our hosts were gracious and when we arrived poolside there was music playing, dog toys, and fresh water in the bowl. We are traveling in an RV with Portuguese Water Dogs and “Sniffspotting” from state to state. The yard was fenced and gave them lots of room to “zoom.” Jane B.

55We had a wonderful time here-
We took 4 dogs total for a weekend play date, we did not use the pool but that area was fenced off and looks perfect for dogs!
The rest of the yard was nice-
Lots of shade and places to explore and sniff.

FAQ about our Charlotte dog water parks
Are dog water parks safe?

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.
