55Arthur’s place is great. just as described and pictured, clear instructions on how to access the yard. Plenty of room for my dog to enjoy the pool and sniff around the yard. Anything I could have needed was provided, including water for pup and people, bags, and treats. My dog had a great time and promptly fell asleep on the way home.Jane H.

55We had such a great time! Arthur provided snacks/sunscreen and the place is exactly as described. The heated spa was a nice touch :) Our pup’s first swim, and as Arthur said in the listing - I think this would be more enjoyable for experienced swimmers! Our dog still have a blast though. Note that it’s 2 gates: one to enter the property (wooden), then a walkway, then one to enter the backyard (metal). Metal one closes perfectly but the wooden one is a bit tricky. Just to note so you can make sure it’s closed behind you! Our first time swimming and relaxing with our dog and we’ll definitely be back.
PS. The place was actually all booked up for today, but after reaching out to him, Arthur very kindly unblocked an hour for us to book! Nicole Y.

55Absolutely loved this experience!! The instructions to get in were super clear - I loved the two-gate system! Yard was large and very clean, plenty of room to run/fetch in the grass then some rocky spots to explore, plus obviously the pool! The fence was very secure and the view beyond the fence is very limited. The neighbor was out in their back yard while we were there and my reactive fearful dog hardly noticed and you couldn’t really see them through the fence. Communication was very quick and kind! There was some bug spray, sunscreen, and some treats (both human and dog variety) which made it feel really welcoming and fun!! Highly highly recommend and I love the add-on for the humans to use the pool too!! Lexi H.

55A lovely pool spot for doggies! Plenty of safe, fenced in space to run around and swim (though it was a little chilly post- April showers for our first time swimmer pup the day we went!) and areas for humans to lounge around too. Thanks to the hosts for the clear instructions, and the gracious basket of snacks and supplies on the table for use. Our three dogs had a great time, and since we live nearby we would love to bring them back to this Sniffspot in hotter weather.Sarayu A.

55We have been trying to get our doggy more comfortable with the water - what I loved about this SniffSpot was that it was low stimuli (very quiet space, tall fences) allowing my pup to enjoy the water at his on pace while taking sniff breaks as he needed! It was also nice to relax in the pool showing him the water isn’t so scary! My dog was obsessed with the pup pool and spent a lot of time cooling down in it. I’m so grateful that the host shared his backyard with us and if I could give this spot 10 stars, I would! The host also left out sunscreen and some snacks which was such a thoughtful and nice touch. Not to mention, the backyard was extremely clean. We will definitely be back again soon! Lee Ann M.

55Beautiful backyard and upon walking in there was a small basket with some beverages, little snackies, and backup poop bags on the patio table. Good amount of grass for the pups to roam and lay and perfect sized pool. There was also a dog bowl and small trash can. We thoroughly enjoyed our time! Fabiana M.

55I loved how clean this place was, the double gate too, is a great safety feature. The host provided some refreshments, bug spray etc. I can tell how considerate they are. Be careful with dogs that are not strong swimmers as they struggle to find the steps and get out of the pool. Roshni R.

FAQ about our Volente 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.

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.
