55I wish I could give more stars. The property is absolutely beautiful with lots of land for the dogs to roam and shade. Although we didn’t use the pool, we will be using it next time. Our host were very nice and had toys laid out for play. There was water available and even a few swings for those who enjoy being a kid. Thank you Jeff, we I’ll be back. Elizabeth C.

55Big open space, fully fenced. There’s multiple chairs available for seating. Honestly, it’s a very calming beautiful space with lots of mature trees. There’s a trash can for throwing away poop that has been picked up, and I like that scheduling time here supports a dog rescue and there’s a donation jar if you feel especially thankful. It’s easy to feel grateful after an hour or two in such a beautiful space. Being able to give back and also receive a slice of heaven with my furry friend is well worth it. Ky P.

55We had a blast at Jeff’s today with our dog Winston! The property was beautiful and well maintained. Winston loved running around freely and taking in all the smells. The pool was also a great add on and having access to a bathroom was nice. There were several places to sit and relax in nature including chairs, hammocks, and a swing! As well as beautiful plants and trees some with fruit as well. This is our favorite sniff spot so far. We have a very fearful and reactive dog who cannot go to dog parks but loves to play! We are grateful for sniff spots like this! Sierra M.

55Very clean green space for your dog to enjoy! Securely fenced in. Refreshing to find a space like this in the city for apartment dwellers. My standard poodle is excitement reactive to other dogs so he doesn’t really get other safe off leash experiences.
Did not add on pool this time but will have to in the future! Beautiful landscaping.

FAQ about our Sarasota 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. 97% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Sarasota 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 134 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 16 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.
