55This was my first time using Sniffspot, and what a wonderful first experience I had. I will book this spot again! My sister and I were looking for a place to stretch our legs, let the dogs swim, and allow off leash play without stress. This spot checks all the boxes and is an absolutely stunning and tranquil property. Melissa was responsive and considerate, and she thought of everything. That made our experience 100% stress relief and smiles.
I very much hope to spend a lot of days here in the summer. Itโs perfect ๐Rose D.

55This is a really lovely spot, with the wonderful smell of the redwoods that fill the property. I enjoyed it as much as my dog did. There was plenty of shade everywhere to keep us both cool on this warm day. There is plenty of room for your pup to run, and a good place for fetch between the pond and the white rail fence. The entry to the pond is a concrete ramp, which my dog thoroughly enjoyed. She stuck to the ramp and didnโt swim out into the pond, but had lots of fun splashing around and didnโt get too muddy.

55This place is BEAUTIFUL!! If youโre looking for a place to escape the heat and enjoy a mini trail with your pup, this is it. My dog had sooo much fun, and itโs very easy to walk up onto the property. Owner provides instructions beforehand too! They had towels, toys, floaties for your dog to wear if they go in the water (a lot of sizes to choose from) and fish food to feed the fish. Open fencing near the front but itโs on a dead end neighborhood and pretty secluded so we took our long lead in case (and entering and exiting off property) but he roamed the rest of the time. They donโt have tennis balls I donโt think so if your dog loves tennis balls, make sure to bring one! We brought our dogโs favorite frisbee, but he kept chucking it and losing it in the water ๐คฃ Such an awesome time and am definitely gonna be coming ALL the time!!Geraldine R.

55This property is fabulous! Seriously a great spot to hang out with your pups. There are lovely shaded spots for a picnic while the dogs romp and a sidewalk around the pond for everyone to enjoy.
Funny storyโฆ Our 10yo dog invited her only dog friend for a fun birthday play dateโฆ unfortunately the friend was so excited that she immediately shattered a toe when jumping out of the car to romp. So we ended up having a solo play date while the friend went to a great ER-vet nearby. In case anyone needs an emergency vet nearby, Vista Veterinary Specialists were great! Nadia B.

55Great space for pups to run around. Mine doesnโt run far (or even at all) but he liked to explore. It isnโt gated off all the way which was listed so just be aware if you have runners.

55OMG this place is an absolute gem! I traveled a bit far during an out of town adventure to come here, and Iโm so glad I did!
First, the property is gorgeous! There are tall trees which provide shade, and lots of seating areas scattered throughout. The pond is the most beautiful green/blue color and is a stunning backdrop for photos. I chose to rent a paddleboat and took it out with my dog. I definitely recommend bringing sandals or water shoes if you do that option.
My LOVED the water. She played in it the entire time. Itโs great because thereโs a kayak launching area, which basically gives the dogs a beach-like access access to the pond. So if your dog is hesitant and doesnโt want to just โjump inโ; they can go in slowly and/or just wade in the shallow kayak launching area.
You can also walk around the pond for some exercise. Thereโs a large grassy area if your dog likes to roll around or play fetch. This place has it all! I would recommend you bring some toys because I think I only saw a tug rope, but I didnโt look that hard.
Also the owner was very commutative and answered a bunch of my questions ahead of time via the app. I cant wait to plan my next visit and come again soon! ๐พ๐๐ฆ๐คSarah V.

55What an amazing place! Lots of great places to sniff, run around and play! One of our dogs is reactive and this was such a great place for her to explore, run, and work on recall (we kept her on a long lead since the property is not fully enclosed, but that didn't slow her down and we had a good time). We heard some dogs barking off in the distance for a brief minute, otherwise it was private and quiet. Even had some red-winged blackbirds hanging out in the trees around the pond singing. Highly recommended - easy to find, clean, lots of shade, and overall just a really cool Sniffspot.Jaime R.

55My pooches had a fantastic time. The setting with the pond ant its surrounding vegetation, the spacious areas, and the various paths make for a natural and beautiful setting. Besides their swimming/fetching in the pond, the large spacious grassy areas for them to run and fetch was perfect for my dogs to cut loose, get their exercise, and just be dogs. There was plenty of sniffing, too, which is one of their specialties. They loved retrieving their ball and squeaky toy in the pond so much that when I was ready to leave, I walked back to the car and looked back and there they were, still standing near the pond as if to say, do we have to leave. I will definitely return with my two Golden Retrievers; it was well worth the 42 mile drive.Tondria G.

FAQ about our Elk Grove 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 Elk Grove?
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.
