55Best experience you could ask for plenty of space for your pup to run around. The cows were really nice and there’s also a horse! We went to the pool after to cool off and they have towels life jackets tennis balls literally anything you could want. 10/10 recommend especially if you live near south Tampa. It’s a great switch up for the dogs to see open fields and farm animals. Nick P.

55This is the BEST sniffspot. The pool was perfect, shaded, clean. Courteous hosts provide ice cold bottled water, towels, doggy life vests, toys, boots! A hose to rinse off. Beautiful acres of securely fenced in land. 10000/10 Jennifer R.

55What a wonderful little ranch! There are lots of spots for shade, a very cozy and clean pool area, and plenty of spots for the pups to explore.
There’s also a cute grilling area, so it would be perfect to rent for a few hours and enjoy with a bunch of friends and their dogs!Kayla B.

55If I could give this sniff spot and it's host 10 ⭐️ I would! Our first visit but surely not our last. We live about an hour away. It was definitely worth the drive. The property is beautiful and well maintained. The extra fee for the pool was with every penny. Our host supplied is will a cooler of water bottles on ice, towels to dry the dogs, and more tennis balls than you could ever imagine! Thank you again Debbie! We'll see you again soon!Jane E.

55Incredibly easy to navigate. We came for the pool and the Host left out a bunch of tennis balls to use and my boys absolutely loved it. Host also left life vests, which were great for my youngest. We all had an absolute blast and we hope to come back again very soon! Eddna M.

55Such a lovely spot! Debbie was so accommodating for a last minute booking. Perfect safe & fun place for our dog to try swimming, while getting lots of stimulation from seeing cows nearby! So worth it. Makenna V.

55Wow! This place was an absolute treat. The property is huge with plenty of clear walkable space to explore, it was such a nice stroll and plenty of shade too. Afterwards, Ziggy took a dip in the pool while I watched with the sunset in the background. The views are breathtaking! The host does an incredible job making you feel so welcomed and at home without ever actually seeing anyone! It really felt like it was just my dog and I, like we were right at home. This is a great way to shake up the long walks and especially good for those road trippers! Close enough to 75 to make a pit stop but far away enough to feel secluded. 10/10 super grateful for people like this in the world. We loved it! Taylor O.

55The property is beautiful, very well kept. Lots of land for the pups to run, my boy was so happy! My pups didn’t have prior experience with the pool but the pool has a nice ledge where they were in the shallow water and they loved it! My Newfie was super happy, she loves the water! The hose, water bowl, toys and doggie bags are very greatly appreciated. We brought most of what we needed but I forgot the bag with toys and was happy to find some by the pool. We will for sure go back, one hour is not enough, the happiness on my pups faces were the best part of my day! Thank you! Brenda C.

55My dogs absolutely LOVED this place! They didn't even know where to begin when we went into the pasture. The pool was a perfect way to cook down after the running and playing. The water was a really nice touch and my Runa girl was a very big fan of the tennis balls scattered throughout the pool. 15 out of 10 from us; we will definitely be back!Alexis K.

FAQ about our Hernando 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?

You can also filter locations to avoid other domestic animals and people. We also recommend reading reviews and reaching out to the host with any questions.
