55This was our first time using Sniffspot and the first time swimming for our 10 month old golden. Alice’s place was perfect. The instructions on how to enter were clear, the yard and pool were extremely clean, and the area is fully fenced (with additional fencing around the pool). We will definitely be back for more swimming fun. Kati M.

55That was the most enjoyable hour and 1/2 I've had in a long time. What an absolute treat especially on a hot day. My pup Eddie had swam a bit previously but only in the river and very minimally. Today he really found a love of swimming and in a safe environment...and not only safe, the property is absolutely lovely and Alice was so helpful. Michelle M.

55This is a fantastic spot in an idyllic garden. My dog is tripod, and swimming in the pool was a great way to exercise without the usual impact on her joints. The host is very accommodating, communicative, and maintains a lovely space. Hamish T.

55I'm leaving a five-star review for the understanding host. I made an error when reserving the spot and chose the same day instead of the following weekend. By time I noticed my error it was too late for me to get to the site. I messaged the host and they fixed it at their end. Excellent!Lyndell R.

55Good yard to sniff and even better if your pup loves to swim! There is only one set of stairs in the pool so make sure your dog learns where they are. The pool is completely fenced off if you don’t want them to swim. Lots of pretty plants to look at and there are plum, apple, and fig trees! There are also grapes along the fence but they are not as accessible from inside the Sniffspot. Until some gaps are fixed, dogs under 15lbs can probably escape. Host is very accommodating and communicative.Sasha C.

55Amazing!! Easy to find and no escape route for our escape artist huskies. Directed to the Sniffspot blog for detailed directions to Field 1 I didn’t find but found the bluebird mural. The host came out and showed us the 2 fields. What a wonderful idea this app is benefiting host and guests. This location truly sets the bar high. I will try other spots as this one may become competitive for availability but it’s literally 10 minutes from our Clackamas home.Amy R.

55My dogs have never enjoyed a place more; however, I think I had an even better time. Diane came over to greet me and I loved getting to know more about the property. This will definitely be a regular spot for us when we need to escape PDX. Nichelle A.

55Easy to find and a very pleasant place to visit. Love the murals and the mannequins. The hose with the spray nozzle was especially handy since the dogs did get wet and dirty. We will be back! Thanks!Linda G.

55Been to this space a few times, the dogs always have a great time! This time around I noticed they added some privacy screens along the fence that faces the neighbors yard, so great to eliminate any potential triggers of seeing other dogs in another yard. So happy they offer their land to us! Mandy T.

Frequently asked questions about Portland dog swimming pools
Why are private dog swimming pools better than public dog parks in Portland?
Private dog swimming pools in Portland 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. Portland's 7 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 Portland dog swimming pools compared to public dog parks?
Portland 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 Portland 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 Portland dog swimming pools safe for reactive dogs?
Portland 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 Portland reactive dog owners say Sniffspot is their only safe exercise option.
Can anxious dogs safely use Portland dog swimming pools?
Yes! Portland 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 Portland dog swimming pools offer quiet, spacious settings ideal for building confidence in nervous dogs who struggle at chaotic public dog parks.
Are Portland dog swimming pools good for small dogs?
Absolutely! Small dogs benefit enormously from Portland dog swimming pools because they can explore without fear of being trampled or intimidated by larger breeds. Many small dog owners in Portland 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 Portland dog swimming pools work for senior dogs?
Yes! Senior dogs thrive at Portland dog swimming pools because they can move at their own pace without being knocked over by rambunctious puppies or young dogs. Look for Portland 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 Portland dog owners say about dog swimming pools?
