55This is an absolutely fantastic spot! We had so much fun going for an evening swim. My dog is reactive and anxious, and she felt relaxed in the backyard since it was quite private. I'm so grateful we had the chance to visit here!Seren V.

55What a great space! Tons of room for the doggies to run around and a huge pool for them to swim (extra perk). Essential supplies, toys and bowls to use in case you forgot something, and plenty of seating for the humans. We were a bit confused, as an inside space was included on the listing and the screened porch was pictured in the photos, but it appeared to be locked when we arrived- maybe it's an add on like the pool? Anyway, the outside space was great on it's own. Definitely a new favorite :).Catherine G.

55I was so glad to find a place close by with a pool! This summer heat has been terrible. This was a fantastic place to cool off! The yard was fully fenced, clean, water hose and bowls provided. They even have a basket of toys for the pups. So much better than a crowded dog park, and safer too! Will definitely go back again. Karen K.

55My dogs had a blast! The fencing is secure, the yard and pool are large. There’s pool seating and shade, lots of toys, poop bags, water, and water dishes provided. The pool is pretty deep too! Forest Y.

55This was my first time taking my pup to a Sniffspot and it didn’t disappoint. There was ample room for her to run and play, the host provided water bowls and toys, and there was a water hose at the ready. We didn’t try the pool this time but I’m sure we will on future visits. It was clean with plenty of shade. We will definitely return. Kara W.

55We had a phenomenal time! Our very first Sniffspot with a dog who is reactive to cars and some strangers, so I was nervous and felt a little awkward at first, but it was so perfect. Everything was in great condition, it was easy to access, and the host was very responsive and kind!
One thing to note: our dog is used to shallow pools and gradual inclines, so she jumped right in the deep end before noticing it was too deep for her to reach and she's a large dog (70-80lbs) so it took a few minutes to find a good way for her to navigate the stairs in the corner. Only adding this because I wish we would have thought of it beforehand and prepared ourselves, so I mention it to anyone else who may not have thought of that! It didn't take away from our experience at all.Faith C.

55This is our second visit to this lovely backyard. It had been a life saver on days when we have things to do on that side of town and have the dogs with us. I love that there is plenty of seating for humans, and a little station near the screened porch with toys, water bowls and hose, and trash can. Very quiet neighborhood and the house is tucked away on a nice cul-de-sac, with plenty of parking. We will definitely keep coming back. Laura A.

FAQ about our Gainesville 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.

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.
