Ilona's Private Dog Park In Sarasota

The spot was everything we hoped! Great atmosphere. The host has a lot of amazing plants. Very nice orchids and more! Our poodle loves to do what he was bred to do. Water retrieving! This spot was a big hit for him! We got to play in the water together the whole time! He would barely leave the pool to explore the back but there is a nice little run area behind the pool cage if your dog isn’t as enthusiastic about the water! Ilona is a great host and will do her best to provide anything you need for your visit. Dog water etc. Really appreciate the hose in entry/exit area to rinse off gear, pooch and yourself. We will definitely be back again for more fun! I’m glad he has a water jacket because he has the drive to swim endlessly!

Our pups had a great time! The host was very accomodating but gave us complete privacy. Bathroom was available if needed. My dogs had plenty of room to prance and sniff around. My pittie had a blast in the pool , and the host was so understanding when she popped a pool floatie. There was water and treats for the pups and even some drinks for the humans. Such a great time! Thankyou for making our pups night- they are tired happy girls :)

We had such a lovely time at Ilona's dog park. She bent over backwards to make sure we had everything we needed. She had water for the dogs and us and treats for the dogs. There were towels and toys. It is an older property, but the water in the pool was clean and the fencing was intact and kept our dogs safe. Our pups had a great time. The only drawback for us was the distance from our home. We are about 40 minutes away, but for those who are local it is nice access to a pool for your pups.

I’d like to think my pup loves his day-to-day life, but this was just a next level of happiness it made my heart melt to see. Ilona was quick to respond and made for a great, spontaneous visit to this lovely spot! There were plenty of spots to sit / stand that I could see the whole area and feel comfortable with my pup running around, plus lots of spots for him to run in and out of the patio area for unlimited exploring.

Host replied: Thank you Jennifer! I'm glad you two had a wonderful time! Welcome back anytime

Ilona set out all of the pool/sunny day necessities and yummy snacks for the pups! She gave clear instructions on how to enter the backyard. This was my girls first pool experience and it was exactly what we needed! We had a blast splashing around and it wore the girls out, thank you for offering your home!

Host replied: You and the girls welcomed back anytime Sydney! Thank you for coming here and I'm so glad you had a blast. You're special to me since you were my first client and a nice one❤️ Thank you
