55This is a great spot in Oshawa! The fences are well secured, and the spot was clean and fairly private. We were a little concerned about the heat, and it was a hot day. But the area was very well shaded and there was cold water available, for dogs and humans! There is plenty of sniffing to do, and a good amount of space to run and play. We'll be back!Walter C.

55Thank you, we truly enjoyed our time here. The setup for my visit was extremely thoughtful for both my puppy and myself. I could honestly say we had a very good time here. We will book again! P.S. Thank you so much for the doggie bag treats, I let my boy pick a colour bag which was fun for him, as well as myself to watch him choose!~ Thank you. 🦴🦴

55Very welcoming property! You can feel the care the owners put into this sniffspot! Star, my 14 month Labrador Retriever & his friend Shylow loved it, all the toys, the large yard to run, she had lots of fresh water for the dogs and us too! I felt Star was save to run free, nothing harmful to get into and the yard was fenced in perfectly. We will be booking again very soon! Thank you for creating such a wonderful place for my fur-baby! 🌟🐕🌠🐾💙Elizabeth M.

55This sniff spot is an absolute gem! It's a dog's paradise with ample space for running, playing, and exploring. The provided water, treats and toys are a thoughtful touch, and the secure fencing adds peace of mind. The picturesque backdrop is perfect for capturing unforgettable moments, making it an ideal spot for dogs and their humans. The sensory overload of sights, textures, and smells make it a beautiful haven for our furry friends.

55I brought my two cane corsos here after work to get some energy out. They love to sniff, run and play and there’s lots of room for that here! With all the toys and stimulating things the host has set up, your dog will be ready for a long nap after this! Loved it and we will 100% return.Danielle B.

55Star and I had a great time! The pile of leaves was alot of fun! I didn't realize you had backyard lighting, we booked for a half hour because it would be dark after 5pm. When we were leaving Star wouldn't drop one of your balls, eventually I got it from him, he is a little ball obsessed... a work in progress! Thank you for a wonderful time! 💙🐾🐕🌟Elizabeth M.

55This was our first visit to a Sniffspot and I’m so glad we chose Catherine’s Pupvacay! It was PARADISE. Our 12 year old rescue pups were the happiest we’ve ever seen them! It was safe, secure, and private. The host really goes above and beyond with the toys/treats/water etc that they leave out for their guests. Our Aussie Kelpie Simba loved the obstacle courses and large space to run, and there was no lack of ‘sniff spots’ for our mini poodle Shadow to explore. We are blown away and hope to come back regularly. Thank you for providing this wonderful space!Brittni F.

55Absolutely amazing yard for a dog. Lots of toys, well fenced in. Great table full of goodies, treats, towels, water for pup and for you. We were even surprised to see the little pup paw wash warmed and ready for use. Throughly impressed, so much so that I took a video of it and sent it to friends with pups. We’ll be coming back again. Thanks!!! Rebecca S.

FAQ about our Oshawa dog parks
Are dog parks good for dogs?
It is important for dogs to have off leash exercise to sniff and run. But the free and open nature of public dog parks has drawbacks. There could be aggressive dogs, disease transmission and cleanliness issues. For this reason, many dog behaviorists discourage visiting public dog parks and recommend Sniffspot's private dog parks. Sniffspot private dog parks only allow one guest to book at a time and are not open to the public, which solves many of these issues.
Are dog parks safe?
While public dog parks have a number of safety issues, such as aggressive dogs, disease transmission and general cleanliness, Sniffspot dog parks 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. 96% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Oshawa area are 5 stars.
How do I know if a dog park works for my dog?
You can filter Sniffspot dog parks by fencing and distractions. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our 104 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 21 off leash areas where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can also filter locations to avoid other domestic animals and people. We also recommend reading reviews and reaching out to the host with any questions.
