55Our dog Jesse had so much fun at Juno’s sniff spot! She led the way on the trails and left no lead un-sniffed. She also had a great time getting the ball thrown for her in the more open field. We will definitely be back!! Madison F.

55We had a beautiful adventure at this Sniffspot! Beautiful shady trails and little streams along the way that my dog enjoyed. Be prepared with sturdy shoes and possibly bug spray. I’ll definitely reserve this Sniffspot again. She’s done a lot of work to maintain the trails and create a map and trail markers. Barbara H.

55We had an awesome time walking the trails around the property. We’ve always wanted to take our dog on trails, but he has fear aggression towards off leash dogs. We’re so happy Carrie shares her love for making trails with the rest of us, and that Apollo can have experiences like this without any fear! We walked the perimeter of the property which took roughly 45 minutes - well kept, quiet, and beautiful!Dana V.

55This spot was a lot of fun for my larger dog to get outside and explore new spaces. Plenty of space to throw the ball, trails, and lots of grass to sniff. This is a foresty, denser area so definitely recommend wearing bug spray; I was glad I brought my stronger hiking deet based bug spray. This spot is great for those looking for a hiking like experience with your pup!Michelle C.

55I really enjoyed our visit! The host was awesome and we enjoyed talking with her. The fields are fenced and have hills. It is a working farm with sheep, goats, etc. There will be manure in the fields as expected. Many dogs love to eat manure from farm animals because it contains grain. The farm & fields are well maintained.Candace G.

FAQ about our Charlottesville 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. Some great ways to stay safe around water with your dog include learning canine CPR and keep an eye on your dog at all times to ensure they are not distressed. You can learn more about safety around water here.
How can I find the best dog water parks in Charlottesville?
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.
Will there be other dogs at the Sniffspot water park at the same time as me?
Sniffspot only allows one booking at a time and any host dogs are required to be kept away from the spot during visits. We also enforce 30 min time buffers between bookings.
If you are planning an amazing dog water park party, each Sniffspot water park has their own rules regarding special events. Many water parks allow doggie birthday parties, training and other event types. Event organizers need to be responsible for their guests and event organizers should coordinate with the host regarding their fun party.
What are the coolest doggie water features available?
Sniffspot dog water parks can have a variety of features, everything from swimming pools to rivers to beaches to hoses and kiddie pools. If you are dreaming of a curtain of water, water tunnels, a ball pit pool, water slide ball pits, splash pools or other cool features, you can definitely find amazing features at Sniffspot dog water parks. Each water park is different, so check the details of the park to find the incredible dog water park of your dreams.
