Private pool and public beach access

Fully Fenced
0.17 acres

Welcome to my backyard pool located 2 blocks to a secluded public beach. The neighbors all walk/run their dogs there without hassle. Enjoy the beach before or after my pool- just make sure sandy dogs are hosed off first. My pool has a shallow platform for dogs just learning to swim or dogs that want to lie down in the water. There are plenty of chairs, chaise lounges and 2 umbrellas for shade (note: none of that is available during hurricane season (june to november). The yard is simple and gated. Please note: The pool vacuum hose MUST always stay in the pool and my dogs just swim over it. If this will be an issue for you or your dogs, this isn’t a good match for you. maximum of 2 dogs and 2 adult handlers ONLY. Sorry but no children are allowed at any time! Humans must pay an extra $5 per person to swim in the pool and NO DIVING is allowed. The fee is accessible under “EXTRAS”. There are external security cameras on the property. You are required to follow pre and post stay rules which are sent 2 hours prior. Please note: double/long/shedding breeds will need to be brushed/raked prior to arrival. This helps keep the pool clean and everything running. You will need to spend extra time skimming the pool for these types of coats. This is 100% non smoking property. Do not smoke/vape/puff anything while at my property. As I don’t meet my guests and for security reasons, please make sure your profile has a picture of you and your dog(s). There are some holes in the fences as they belong to my neighbors. They are not big enough for any dog to escape. The gate does not self close so make sure you manually do do after entering. The back neighbors dog may or may not be out and is a barker. Please consider this. Enjoy!

Kathy's <1 Acre Fully Fenced Private Dog Park In Cocoa

Fully Fenced
1 acre

Property is located in a quiet neighborhood at the end of a cul-de-sac. Our yard is less than 1 acre and fully fenced. Surrounded by woods except for one side and there is a pond with a dock. The neighbors dogs (2) are not a hazard but they are reactive so if your dog doesn’t ignore them, they will run along the fence. Normally they are inside but of course they have to be let outside to relieve themselves and stretch their legs. They are never let out as a pair only separately.

1 Acre Fully Fenced Private Dog Yard In Mims

Fully Fenced
1 acre

Enjoy a little over an acre of fully fenced space in Mims, FL—perfect for dogs who love to run, play, train, and explore! The dog area is located on a separate property directly behind our main residential property, so it is set apart from our home and primary yard. The property is maintained and mowed regularly, with plenty of open land and limited trees or obstructions, giving dogs lots of room for off-leash play or training. An outdoor water spout with well water is also available for use. Please note that the property backs up to neighboring farm animals - chickens and cows can regularly be seen nearby. If your dog is highly reactive to livestock or farm animals, please keep this in mind when booking. Access to the property is along the west side of our main property, with parking available on the street.

Frequently asked questions about Merritt Island small dog parks

Why are private small dog parks better than public dog parks in Merritt Island?

Private small dog parks in Merritt Island eliminate major public park risks: unpredictable dog encounters that scare puppies, aggressive dogs that trigger reactive behavior, chaotic crowds that overwhelm seniors or small dogs, and disease transmission from dozens of unknown dogs. Merritt Island's 193 private small dog parks offer complete privacy, professionally maintained cleanliness, and controlled environments. Whether you have a fearful puppy, a reactive adult, a fragile senior, or simply want peace of mind, private bookings give you control.

How safe are Merritt Island small dog parks compared to public dog parks?

Merritt Island small dog parks are significantly safer than public facilities. Public dog parks risk: aggressive dogs, inattentive owners, disease transmission, overcrowding that triggers reactive behaviors or injuries. Private Merritt Island small dog parks eliminate these concerns—bookings are completely private, all guests have vaccinated dogs (or titers), and hosts maintain clean spaces. 93% of Sniffspot reviews are 5 stars.

Are Merritt Island small dog parks safe for reactive dogs?

Merritt Island owners of reactive dogs choose small dog parks because they offer safe, private environments for off-leash exercise without the triggers of public dog parks. Complete privacy means no unexpected dog encounters, no overwhelming chaos, no aggressive dogs. Reactive dogs can finally enjoy appropriately-sized exercise while building confidence in a controlled setting. Many Merritt Island reactive dog owners say Sniffspot is their only safe exercise option.

Can anxious dogs safely use Merritt Island small dog parks?

Yes! Merritt Island small dog parks provide controlled environments perfect for anxious or fearful dogs. No other dogs means no triggers, no overwhelming situations. Anxious dogs can explore a space specifically sized and designed for small breeds under 25-30 pounds at their own pace without stress. Many Merritt Island small dog parks offer quiet, spacious settings ideal for building confidence in nervous dogs who struggle at chaotic public dog parks.

Are Merritt Island small dog parks good for small dogs?

Absolutely! Small dogs benefit enormously from Merritt Island small dog parks because they can explore without fear of being trampled or intimidated by larger breeds. Many small dog owners in Merritt Island avoid public parks entirely due to safety concerns—small dog parks eliminate that worry. Filter for appropriate sizing, secure fencing with no gaps, and hosts who understand petite pup needs.

Do Merritt Island small dog parks work for senior dogs?

Yes! Senior dogs thrive at Merritt Island small dog parks because they can move at their own pace without being knocked over by rambunctious puppies or young dogs. Look for Merritt Island small dog parks with flat terrain, easy access, shade, and smaller sizes if your senior has mobility limitations. The privacy means your older dog can rest when needed and enjoy gentle exercise without stress.

What do Merritt Island dog owners say about small dog parks?

Reviews of Merritt Island small dog parks consistently highlight: excellent privacy for all dog types, secure fencing that prevented escapes, clean and well-maintained spaces, responsive hosts, and safe environments for anxious, fearful, reactive, senior, and small dogs. Local favorite Happy Home is particularly praised in Merritt Island. Read reviews to see real experiences from Merritt Island dog owners with similar needs.

How clean and maintained are Merritt Island small dog parks?

Merritt Island hosts maintain their own small dog parks and take pride in providing excellent experiences. All guests must have vaccinated dogs (or titers). Many Merritt Island hosts provide poop bags, trash cans, and regular cleaning. Reviews highlight maintenance quality—browse Merritt Island small dog park listings to see real feedback about cleanliness and upkeep.
