55This is such a great spot with an amazing yard and an amazing host. The digging area was a favorite for my dog and of course finding every "lost" tennis ball in every garden or under every bush. My dog loves water but like to wade more than swim but I'm happy to report he had his first pool time paddle. It's hard to believe that someone with such a nice yard is so willing to open it to dogs but I'm thankful for it. This is such a fun hot weather day spot and the fact that the host is donating the money to a local rescue is just the ultimate icing on the cake. Oh and can't forget the wonderful dog treats she made for us.

55This was an amazing spot and everything was accounted for! There were toys, dig spot, doggy waste station, treats, water, everything you could need! Our dogs LOVED the pool and spent most of the time in there but also loved running around and smelling all the smells in the little forest in the back yard as well. Will definitely be back!Hailey C.

55What an amazing serene space! So clean and the host has thought of everything! Toys, fencing, she plays music for you, dog treats, towels, a bubble machine! My dog swam the whole time, the water is BEAUTIFUL and so clean. The yard is quiet and well kept and I felt like my dog was really safe. Really a great space shared from a person clearly very dedicated to the dogs and owners enjoying themselves. We can’t say enough good things. My dog was just so happy. Rachael H.

55We chose this place because our dog loves to swim. He had a great time in the pool, and running around sniffing. There were lots of toys out for him, towels a water pool, and even a dog pool next to the regular pool. On the way out there was even a bag of treats for him. We were about 10 minutes late and Janine had offered to let us makeup the time since there was a gap with the next visit. We briefly spoke with her, very nice lady. Jackie H.

55My girls and I needed some solid decompression time together and this fit the bill perfectly. Being able to swim with them was super special. Alas, they quickly bored of me! My youngest isn't ready to be off leash in "the nature" yet so she was thrilled to be allowed to explore the woods on her own. Everything about the property and owners were just so dog-centric and awesome. And the girls LOVED the treats they left for us! Krista R.

55Amazing all around! Janine is a kind, welcoming, and caring host. It’s very clear that she loves dogs just as much as we do! The spot itself was an oasis for both dog and human! Beautiful plants, clean, backs up right to the woods. Clyde loved the pool and splash pad most. He discovered the wooded area 5 minutes before we had to leave otherwise I’d say he loved that too! This space is created and cared for with love. Best Sniffspot I’ve been to and best host! We stopped at this on our way to Cape Neddick coming from Boothbay and it was a great hour for our dog to get some energy out and have fun! Highly recommend! Oh and can’t forget the amazing homemade treats that are waiting for you. So kind!Diana F.

55Amazing spot with fantastic amenities! Janine is a great host who has thought of everything. The fact that proceeds are donated to a rescue makes the time that much sweeter for us and our rescue pup! Next time we’ll have a life jacket because our lil guy is still shy about the pool but he had a fantastic time running the spacious yard, enjoying the splash pad and sandpit and sniffing all the beautiful flowers. As a bonus my wife got to rest her knee after a recent injury floating in the pool. Can’t wait to come back! Michael & Rebecca C.

55What a fabulous experience! There isn’t anything Janine left out. Our pups played safely in the fenced in yard, and swam in the pool. They loved the extra kiddie pool. She left us homemade dog treats and had cold water for the pups to drink. There isn’t anything she didn’t think of. Highly recommend!!!Jenny F.

FAQ about our York dog water parks
Are dog water parks safe?
While public dog parks have a number of safety issues, such as aggressive dogs, disease transmission and general cleanliness, Sniffspot dog parks are 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. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits are 5 stars. If you are worried about whether you can have an enjoyable water experience, just know that it is possible to have peace of mind when visiting dog waterparks by following basic safety guidelines. Some great ways to stay safe around water with your dog include learning canine CPR and keep an eye on your dog at all times to ensure they are not distressed. You can learn more about safety around water here.
How do I know if a dog water park works for my dog?
Start by applying basic filters, such as fencing and distractions, to find a dog park that works for your dog. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our fully fenced dog water parks. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our dog water parks where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. Make sure to review the amenities of the spot to see what kind of water features are offered to make sure it works for your dog. If your dog is not a strong swimmer, then perhaps choose a dog water park with tamer water features rather than a river or beach, for instance. We also recommend reading reviews and reaching out to the host with any questions, and of course, checking water park hours.
What are the requirements to bring my dog to a Sniffspot water park?
We require that all dogs have basic vaccinations or equivalent titers. We do not allow dogs with a bite history. We require that guests sign our waiver and agree to follow our safety rules. Additionally, we recommend following our water safety guidelines.
Will there be other dogs at the Sniffspot water park at the same time as me?
Sniffspot only allows one booking at a time and any host dogs are required to be kept away from the spot during visits. We also enforce 30 min time buffers between bookings.
If you are planning an amazing dog water park party, each Sniffspot water park has their own rules regarding special events. Many water parks allow doggie birthday parties, training and other event types. Event organizers need to be responsible for their guests and event organizers should coordinate with the host regarding their fun party.
What are the coolest doggie water features available?
Sniffspot dog water parks can have a variety of features, everything from swimming pools to rivers to beaches to hoses and kiddie pools. If you are dreaming of a curtain of water, water tunnels, a ball pit pool, water slide ball pits, splash pools or other cool features, you can definitely find amazing features at Sniffspot dog water parks. Each water park is different, so check the details of the park to find the incredible dog water park of your dreams.
