55Always a great time visiting! Appreciated that we could flex our time due to severe rain, as well. Best spot in town!
55My dogs loved it here!! you can really tell the owner put a lot of thought and care to make sure dogs and owners have a great time (there was even a sign with our name on it welcoming us!) I did a late night visit, and it was nicely lit and a little less hot which was nice! The fence was secure, and everything was spotless. My dogs absolutely loved the variety of toys you had! They instantly got the zoomies, living up to the namesake lol. I will be coming back!!
55Ripley had a wonderful time! The selection of toys was great. We kept her away from the herding ball because she gets loud and obsessed with it ๐Ÿ™„ but the herding egg was really unique and interesting for her. She loved the chuck-it ball and anything she can catch. The space is clean, beautiful and easy to find. We didnโ€™t use the wash station, but it looked paw-fect! ๐Ÿ˜ Such a nice setup.
55Our dogs had a good run and the site was great.
55We love this spot so much! Milo enjoyed sniffing around and particularly was fond of the human chair today.
55Very clean area with all the listed amenities available. No gaps in the fence and plenty of toys to choose from.
55Loved this spot! So many toys to choose from and definitely recommend the pool
55This was our first ever Sniffspot and it was a hit! Extremely well maintained with a great variety of toys for the pup(s), although mine much rather enjoyed sniffing the perimeter :P The additional add-ons are a great value and we had a great time! Host was gracious and communicative, we will definitely be back :)
55Amazing spot! They have everything you could need and more. My dog was too interested in smelling all of the new smells, but she had fun!!
55Very comfortable and easy going. We have 2 reactive rescues we are training and local dog parks are too busy and overwhelming. They clearly show care here and have many toys and anemities for your babies! It is reclusive, alot of running area and toys. It's it's a run so it is not acres, but perfect enough for an alternative for a dog park! Very accommodating and had no issues booking. I loved all the extras including a dog bath and a puppy popsicle.

Description

Zoomies โ€“ a high-speed, reckless, frantic, exhilarating, and completely unstoppable burst of energy where your dog dashes around with pure, unfiltered joy. Itโ€™s an outward expression of inner happiness, a moment of pure canine euphoria thatโ€™s as delightful to watch as it is for them to experience ๐Ÿ• Welcome to The Zoomie Zone ๐Ÿ• As a dedicated Rover sitter, I understand that dogs crave heightened mental and physical engagement, often missing in apartment life. To address this, I've curated a secluded, shaded area in my backyard exclusively for you and your furry friend to unleash their energy with minimal distractions. โœจTailored Play Areas:โœจ Understanding that dogs thrive when their innate needs are met, I've tailored the space accordingly: ๐Ÿ”น Sight Hounds: Satisfy their urge to chase with a flirt pole. ๐Ÿ”น Herding/Working Breeds: Indulge their herding instincts with a dedicated herding ball. ๐Ÿ”น Scent Hounds: Engage in nose work with scattered treats (yours or mine for an additional charge). Consider this space your dog's personal playground, where they can exert themselves fully before returning to your apartment, assured of a restful night's sleep. Our collection of toys includes a flirt pole, bungee tethered tree tug, frisbee, Chuck It fetch arms, herding ball, and herding egg, with the exciting addition of a Swift Paws Course lure coming soon! โœจAmenities for Dog Owners:โœจ โ—ผ๏ธ WiFi Access: Enjoy free WiFi, perfect for students who want to study and play with their dogs casually. โ—ผ๏ธ Seating and Setup: Relax in seating for two while your furry friend plays. We're working on adding tables and chairs for your personal setup. โ—ผ๏ธ Cleanliness: A dedicated ๐Ÿ’ฉ bag station and trash can ensure cleanliness. โ—ผ๏ธ Convenient Entry: Access via a coded lock. โ—ผ๏ธ Leash Hanger: Keep your leash handy. โ—ผ๏ธ Bluetooth Speaker: Enjoy your favorite tunes. โ—ผ๏ธ Parking: Convenient onsite parking is available. โ—ผ๏ธ Dog Wash Station: For a charge, ensure your pup comes home clean and tired from all the play. ๐Ÿ™…โ€โ™€๏ธHands-Off Hosting:๐Ÿ™…โ€โ™€๏ธ We're hands-off hosts โ€“ you won't see us or our pets during your visit. Our two dogs will be safely inside or fenced off on their side of the yard, ensuring a peaceful environment for you and your companion. Welcome to The Zoomie Zone โ€“ where your dogโ€™s happiness and your convenience come together!๐Ÿพ ๐Ÿ•

Treat hunt!$8

Did you know that sniffing can be incredibly calming for dogs? A leisurely, meandering sniffing session in our run can trigger the release of dopamine in their brains, similar to the effects of a yoga or meditation session for your furry friend! Additionally, it's low-impact and gentle on their joints. To enhance your pup's experience, we offer a half cup of treats for you to scatter across our dog run while you relax on our bench. [ you may bring your own treats for no additional cost.]

Hi, I'm Danica, a dedicated Rover sitter and passionate dog lover based in Gainesville, Florida. Inspired by my young, friendly, and athletic Shiloh Shepherd, Tomo, I created 'The Zoomie Zone'โ€”a perfect play area for dogs of all breeds and sizes. Alongside Tomo, I also have an elderly Welsh Corgi named Cheza, who enjoys the serene environment we provide. I have worked closely with local GNV rescues to ensure their foster lists get a permanent discount to our Sniffspot. I look forward to providing a top-notch experience for you and your pup at The Zoomie Zone!

North Star Ranch Private Dog Park In Archer

Hello, We would like to welcome our dog friends to our private fully fenced wooded dog park we named The North Star Ranch. The North Star is positioned right over our entrance, and you might see it if you stay at the ranch late. Our ranch currently has no land improvements, which means that youโ€™ll have to bring your own water, snacks, poo bags, and flashlights if you book early or late in the day. Also we have no trash collection, so please take your waste home with you. This is what we do as well. Consider a visit to our ranch a visit to nature that has been fenced in for your dogsโ€™ convenience. And as in all Florida woods, there are some safety concerns you need to be aware of before your reservation. There are more or less visible stumps and vines all over the ranch. There are also some prickly cacti, buckthorn bushes and brambles. Tree logs and trunks have been arranged in some areas as edging for trails. The ranch is a work in progress and we are very slowly cutting prickly plants back to where they arenโ€™t in dogsโ€™ faces, but itโ€™s taking us a while. So be prepared for an encounter with (hopefully gentle) Florida wilderness. Long pants and closed toed shoes are very much recommended. We also suggest tick spray if youโ€™re worried about them. We find that in winter time they are rare. Mosquito cream is available during summer months at the gate. We recommend you use it. There is a 20 liter canister of water for dogs available at the picnic table along with a black rubber bowl. There is a back gate at the ranch and we donโ€™t suggest venturing out of, as the back of the property is NOT fenced, and trails are unkempt. Please stay in the fenced-in area only for your safety! We hope you and your dog enjoys lots of sniffing while youโ€™re either strolling along or sitting down in one of our picnic areas. There is some agility equipment available at your discretion. Please use it wisely and look out for your petโ€™s safety first. Wilderness warning! โš ๏ธ Snakes have been spotted at the ranch several times. Our dogs run through the ranch daily, so wildlife is used to human and canine presence. This was their home before we enclosed it, so we respect their presence and move around them if we spot them. To this date we havenโ€™t had any negative experience with the wildlife, and we surely want to see you stay safe as well. Keep your eyes open if you veer off the main paths, and have some treats in your pocket to help call your dog back to you in case of a snake sighting. The sightings definitely drop off in the colder months. We hope you enjoy our ranch as much us we do! Our dogs absolutely love it and we lovingly nicknamed this place our โ€œsanity ranchโ€. Enjoy!
