55This was our first time taking our one-year-old golden to the pool. It was so inviting that she just jumped right in! The backyard was secure, easy to access, and most importantly, the dogs loved it. We will definitely be back! Brianna W.

55Me and my pup had a great time here. The pool was perfect for Dojo to get his bearings straight with swimming. It was the first time he has been in the water. We will definitely be returning. Thanks for all the hospitality Denise!Dan B.

55My boys had a blast! While still relatively new to swimming, it was great to be able to teach them in the safety of this pool. There is tons of ledges for them to make their way out of the pool themselves if need be. Tons of toys to choose from and space to run!Kayleigh F.

55My golden retriever and I had the best time and we already can’t wait to come back. The area was so clean and they provided so much in the way of toys, water bowls, ect. At the end of our visit, Denise came out and introduced herself and gave me some treats for Argo. We had a wonderful chat and Argo loved the pool. We frequent the beach often, but since Argo is a service dog, I prefer the safety of a private area for water time when I can. We will absolutely be back, I in Virginia Beach, and it is more than worth it to make the drive to come here. I would give way more stars if I could!Emma R.

55We LOVED our time at this spot! Awesome pool and great area for sniffing. The only thing I wasn’t totally prepared for (and this might be on me for checking ahead of time) was that there were neighbor dogs that could interact through the fence. My pup is dog friendly so there wasn’t an issue, but it’s something to be aware of!Krista P.

55A nice clean, secure sniff spot with a pool, don't find that anywhere else! Worth the trip from another Hampton Roads city! My Golden Retriever swims at the beaches and rivers, but I'd never gotten him in a swimming pool before. This pool made it an easy transition! It's just the right size and easy to get in and out of! A perfect experience, thanks to the host!Walt J.

FAQ about our Chesapeake 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 Chesapeake?
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.
