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.

55What a find! My dogs worked their noses and their legs exploring one of the pastures on Michele's beautiful farm. There were areas of sun and shade on a gentle hillside. The fence was secure. Do dress appropriately for walking in tall grass/weeds and possibly manure. We passed goats, sheep, cows, and dogs in other pastures while driving to our spot. Michele is an excellent host and so generous to share her land with other dogs and their people. We hope to visit again soon.RACHEL D.

55Michele is an excellent host and has a fabulously well-fenced farm! My pup loved sniffing around in the morning, but there was also plenty of shade for later in hot days. He even made friends with a cow! Appreciated her letting us sniff around. Thanks for having us!Hannah J.

55Big open field! Note that other dogs are around. But, this is a farm and she notes there are other animals and dogs in her post. Enough space it didn’t really matter and dogs weren’t concerned. Water was left out for the dogs! Michele was wonderful directing me to the right field. Molly B.

55This is a really nice place with beautiful views. My dog had a blast. Probably the largest sniffspot we've ever been to, HUGE open space to run and sniff all sorts of things, and a great place to practice recall. The listing does note some gaps in the fence and there were some toward the bottom of the fence in some areas, but didn't feel it was a big issue, especially with how large the place is. My dog is only 20 lbs so I also probably notice them more than others might, would definitely not be an issue for bigger dogs. I think we both enjoyed seeing the donkeys, cows, sheep, goats, and LGDs. Hope to be back again.Rob R.

55What a wonderful spot! Our dog Reggie had his best day ever romping out in the field and didn’t want to leave. We appreciate Michele’s generosity as a hostess - especially after we got a bit turned a round and arrived rather late. Reggie says thanks again!Laura K.

55Our dog had a super fun outing on this property. There are several large pastures available. We were in the “Pool Pasture”, which has a nice blend of open grass mixed with trees toward the back. The fencing is in excellent condition. The host is very pleasant to work with and super friendly. We can’t wait to go back! Thank you Michele!! Roger S.

55Our boys absolutely loved pool pasture! Our youngest was really enjoying running the fence line and staring at the cows across the road. Huge fenced area for them to run! Michele was so helpful and accommodated us last minute so that we could get our boys out for some exercise on our trip from Roanoke to Kilmarnock. We will be back if we are ever in the area.

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.
