Our visit was AMAZING!!!! I wish every Sniffspot was run so well and was so beautiful as yours! We just got back from Myrtle Beach and specifically booked a dog-friendly spot with a pool. Only when we got there we find out dogs can’t even go in! It was so disappointing. I love that you guys prioritize the dogs instead of people! We will be back!!Melissa M.

55We had a great time during our visit! The yard was very spacious and our dogs had a blast in the pool. They left dog toys, towels, fresh water, and treats out for the dogs as well which was such a nice touch. We can’t wait to come back to visit again and left with two very tired and happy pups!

55This was a beautiful place set up to enjoy for both dogs and people. All the comforts you could need. My young dog loves the water and my 11.5 year old GSD never swam in his life. But he goes where I go (service dog) and he tries to keep up with little sister. Well today it worked. He swam!! For the first time in his life! That just made my day! The pool was immaculate and water was very comfortable. I’ll post pics. We will return. Tina J.

55Wonderful space! Our 2yo GSD Sassy had lots of room in the yard to run and play fetch and found tons of interesting things to sniff. We're still working with her to go in the water, but the pool was clean and lovely. Hosts provided a ton of helpful items like poop bags, treats, a first aid kit, dog towels, water and disposable dishes, cleaning supplies, and lots of toys! Very happy humans and pup, and we'll definitely be back. This is a total oasis only five minutes from our home!Hannah C.

55Amazing place for a dog! Our old adopted girl got a chance to swim. We had no idea if she could and she had fun! Great instructions and lots of extras, like toys and water for the dogs. Fam H.

55We absolutely love this Sniffspot. Our dog Stevie has recently learned how to swim which also provides the physical therapy that he needs. The pool area is beautiful as well as the landscaping and large yard. Our senior dog enjoys wandering around so it’s the perfect place for both of them. The hosts go above and beyond with lots of extra thoughtful touches and it’s obvious that they love dogs. They are super hosts! Amy G.

55What a great spot! We had so much fun! We have a Mini Aussie and he has so much anxiety so it was so nice seeing him swim and run around and enjoy his day! The location / parking was easy to find! The pool was great as well as the yard! The host has a cute station set up with everything you can think of for your pup(s). We only booked an hour because we weren’t sure how he would do, but we loved it and we will deff be back next summer for longer than an hour! Thank you so much for giving our apartment pup the opportunity to run around without his leash and have a great day swimming :) Stephanie D.

55We had a wonderful time with our 3 dogs. The directions and instructions were thorough and easy to follow. The house and property are just gorgeous. A very peaceful and serene environment. The pool is large and clean and a very comfortable temperature. They provided treats, toys, water and more for the pups. The pups enjoyed running around the large yard and we worked on our swimming skills. Will be back!Olivia T.

FAQ about our York 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 York area are 5 stars.

You can filter Sniffspot dog parks by fencing and distractions. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our 198 fully fenced dog parks in the area.
