55My dog loved swimming in the pond and exploring the surrounding fields. It was great to have access to a property where our dog could be off leash and get to sniff, play and explore. Antonia B.

55We had a glorious day with our friend and her dobie Atlas! They swam and played so hard.
I know that previous reviews mentioned the barking dogs as you come through the gate however the fence that they are behind is a large wooden fence so it was not an issue at all with my dogs. Also we found the trail to be absolutely wonderful and pretty clean and yes of course there is some cow Patty's but that's to be expected in a farm! Definitely got really dirty and muddy because of course the dogs were just playing hard and I felt as though I did when I lived on a ranch when I was 11 years old getting all muddy and dirty but as the dirt dries it just dust off no big deal. We had a wonderful time and the shade is fabulous under the trees.Nancy p.

55The best SniffSpot we’ve visited so far in the Petaluma area. Large area with well tended grass, excellent rural location with horses nearby. Quiet, peaceful, safe, and clean. My dog left without any foxtails or stickies sticking to her fur. Recommended.Howard L.

55Such a wonderful spot, a new favorite! The grass field was perfect, big enough to get some serious ball chasing in, and the pool add on was great for the one water dog in our group of three. Lots of places to sit, sun and shade, very clean and tidy and lots of toys and balls to play with. Will be back! Thank you!Keri P.

55As always, we had an amazing visit. I am a die-hard fan of this one particular site…and with good reason. I have a dog with physical struggles starting and the extra thoughtfulness to have an inner step wrap around almost the entire pool is so helpful as he is becoming more and more challenged to move about. The water is the best thing for him. So we go as much as possible. It’s always super clean. Always super accommodating. Such nice folks in a really fun environment to chill out with your pups on a hot day. I try to stay as long as possible (meaning I have to go eventually when the sun does go down 😏 being this is actually their real 𝒽𝑜𝓂𝑒 and all). I CANNOT recommend this place enough. You and your pups will absolutely love it!!Gina L.

55Shayla was easy to work with. Place was super easy to get to. The steps and ledges in various parts of pool are perfect for dogs. It’s a little pricey but pretty sure the filter was overworked from all the dog hair. The couch was covered but you can always uncover it if you want. Hosted end of summer dog pool party for my Pomsky. 7 dogs 7 humans. The flies were going after our sandwiches but it’s a ranch so to be expected. Baby goats on departure were friendly and adorable. Was overall great minus no bathroom and shower access. Glad my booking was only 2 hrs.Polly M.

55This place is really special. I just love it. We bring our four dogs and they swim and run! They are so tired by the end of the hour. I also love getting to hike around the lake with our pack! definitely a favorite Sniffspot Stephanie M.

55Super fun visit! We've passed this lake so many times on 116 and it was delightful to get to romp around it (and for our dog to have a swim) 🥰 Fish were jumping, cows and chickens were nearby, we sat on tree roots in the shade while the dog made fetch after fetch in the lake. Just exactly what we hoped for when we booked!Angela & Jason L.

55What a great place. Nice manicured grass area for the dogs to romp around. Our dogs especially enjoyed the pool.
Everything looks well taken care of and we enjoyed visiting the pony and pig even though they were taking their afternoon siesta. I wouldn't hesitate to come back. Thank you.jenn4784 X.

55Definitely enjoyed our visit
Easy directions and check in instructions… could see dogs in the pool through a fence but fence separating dogs from rest of property was very secure and was not an issue.
Small path around the pond and dog loved playing in the pond :)Autumn L.

Frequently asked questions about Petaluma dog swimming pools
Why are private dog swimming pools better than public dog parks in Petaluma?
Private dog swimming pools in Petaluma 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. Petaluma's 13 private dog swimming pools 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 Petaluma dog swimming pools compared to public dog parks?
Petaluma dog swimming pools are significantly safer than public facilities. Public dog parks risk: aggressive dogs, inattentive owners, disease transmission, overcrowding that triggers reactive behaviors or injuries. Private Petaluma dog swimming pools 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 Petaluma dog swimming pools safe for reactive dogs?
Petaluma owners of reactive dogs choose dog swimming pools 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 safe swimming while building confidence in a controlled setting. Many Petaluma reactive dog owners say Sniffspot is their only safe exercise option.
Can anxious dogs safely use Petaluma dog swimming pools?
Yes! Petaluma dog swimming pools provide controlled environments perfect for anxious or fearful dogs. No other dogs means no triggers, no overwhelming situations. Anxious dogs can explore a pool facility where dogs can swim, practice water therapy, or cool off safely at their own pace without stress. Many Petaluma dog swimming pools offer quiet, spacious settings ideal for building confidence in nervous dogs who struggle at chaotic public dog parks.
Are Petaluma dog swimming pools good for small dogs?
Absolutely! Small dogs benefit enormously from Petaluma dog swimming pools because they can explore without fear of being trampled or intimidated by larger breeds. Many small dog owners in Petaluma avoid public parks entirely due to safety concerns—dog swimming pools eliminate that worry. Filter for appropriate sizing, secure fencing with no gaps, and hosts who understand petite pup needs.
Do Petaluma dog swimming pools work for senior dogs?
Yes! Senior dogs thrive at Petaluma dog swimming pools because they can move at their own pace without being knocked over by rambunctious puppies or young dogs. Look for Petaluma dog swimming pools 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 Petaluma dog owners say about dog swimming pools?
