55This was absolutely the best sniffspot we have been to. The backyard was decorated so cute. The host left out snacks for hoomans and furbabies. There were towels and plenty of toys for the pups. The pool was beautiful with a waterfall. There is a fence around the pool if u want to keep your pups out of the water. My dog is a water dog so swam the entire time. Great host! Will be returning to enjoy the pool and yard! Terri M.

55This was our first Sniff Spot experience and during warm weather there would be no reason to go anywhere else! Kristi advertised her yard perfectly. It is small, and better suited for small to medium dogs… unless you have a large lazy dog (we have one of those) and/or a swimmer (we have one of those too!) in which case it is absolutely perfect for even large dogs. We actually kept our dogs IN the gated pool area the entire time. Truthfully, the other part of Kristi’s yard seemed too nice to let our dogs run loose! It has perfect turf and fun yard art that I wanted to make sure our male dog didn’t pee on! The yard really is nice!
We had too much fun letting the dogs play on the pool side to even have a snack or drink, both of which Kristi so thoughtfully provided.
If you have a teeny tiny dog (I’m thinking under 10 lbs) who is a major escape artist, be aware there is a small gap under the gate by the pool to the front yard. For 99% of dogs, this will be a non-issue, but something to consider if you have a tiny dog who is an escape artist.
This was such a great experience for our dogs (especially the swimmer) that I’d love to make a more regular habit of visiting Kristi’s pool during the summer months. If your dog enjoys swimming, check out Kristi’s pool!!! It’s also worth mentioning that I was worried about my dog getting chilled since it wasn’t a very warm day, and we visited in the evening, but the temp of her pool was lovely!

55Such an amazing little yard - just perfect for our two dogs (female GSDs) to play fetch in the pool and chase each other around in! There were toys for our dogs, snacks for both them and us (sour cream and onion chips are my favorite!) and drinks. The yard/pool were very clean and inviting. We will definitely be going back! I also loved the personal welcome sign on the gate as we entered!! Highly recommend!

55We had a great time at Kristi and Don’s! They have a lovely, quiet yard and pool that kept our lab mix busy swimming and fetching balls. The treats for humans and dogs were a nice bit of hospitality. They had a welcome sign out and accessing the space was easy. Amy K.

55We had a great visit today… The host did several things to welcome us.   our dog loved running around, sniffing all the new areas, he particularly liked the artificial turf for whatever reason a special bonus was the “walk in pool“ since we were eager to acclimate him to swimming.  the pool steps were nicely designed for more timid dogs that weren’t too keen on diving in a I wish the spot was closer to our home so we could go more often.Nancy R.

55What an amazing spot! So cozy and so private, it literally felt like we had our own pool and oasis for a bit. Can’t say enough about the attention to detail and hospitality with the snacks and water and sitting areas for the humans, as well as the setup for pups. Great communication and very welcoming host! We will definitely be backKaren M.

We loved that there were free snacks and treats too. 10/10 for our first time using sniffspot. The personalized sign was super cute and welcoming!Gem G.

55Another great visit. The yard is perfect for my older dogs, and since it is turf and concrete I don’t have to worry about mud or dirt. I messaged the host to let her know I was running late and she was so sweet to let me stay later. We’ve only been to one other Sniffspot so far but this one is perfect for us. Annie B.

FAQ about our Citrus Heights 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 can I find the best dog water parks in Citrus Heights?
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.
