55I can’t say enough good things about George’s swimming hole oasis! He was incredibly responsive from the start and gave us a tour to show us where all the amenities were as soon as we arrived. The Sniffspot has beautiful greenery and George has clearly invested so much into the space.
He had bottled water there for us, and there was an outdoor shower available for us to use after hanging out with our dog in the pool. The whole experience was amazing for both our dog and for myself and my husband. We are looking forward to returning! Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful oasis with us, George! Sheeja S.

55George is great- met us outside and showed us around his beautiful pool oasis area … even left us waters, & plenty of dog toys. Zak got LOTS of exercise and even time for me to do some rehab on his hind legs. This was a win win for everyone! Erica R.

55Our dogs weren't interested in swimming (which I knew would be the case ahead of time), but they certainly loved exploring around the yard, sniffing all the different flora and fauna of this spot. The water features on the property were soothing and relaxing for me while the dogs ran around.Trish D.

55This was my first sniffspot experience and it did not disappoint. George’s hospitality and backyard oasis was wonderful! He generously toured me around. He provided water (for both humans and dogs) and plenty of toys to choose from. He also has an outdoor shower. My dog and I had an incredible time. Thank you! We will definitely be back soon.

55Had another great visit today. Love seeing our dogs venture out and try new things. One of them went near the waterfall, got her feet wet in the shallow area and jumped up on a rock to explore the area more. Lovely oasis for humans and dogs!Trish D.

Probably the best sniffspot in all of SFV. Pool had different levels of depth! Walking into the backyard felt very resort-esque and George was an amazing amazing host.
55The pool is very spacious and has 3 levels of depth; two of which allows you to stand comfortably. There is a deep end for those who want to do a bit of diving. If your pup doesn't care too much for water, the space offers lots of area for your dog to roam and sniff around. There is a waterfall feature at the top of the surrounding area.
The space provides toys for the dogs, floatation devices for the owners, and a rinse station (hot shower) when you've concluded your stay.
This was our first time using Sniffspot and was very happy on how seamless the process was to book the space. George was such a wonderful host; he took the time to get to know us, ensure that we were comfortable and even offered smoothies!
All in all it was a great experience! I do see myself coming back here in the near future.Jan B.

55George has an amazing swimming spot for dogs. Our puppy went for his first swim here and there's a great wading spot for dogs who aren't into swimming. We can't recommend it enough.Anders H.

55Although Spanky wasn’t interested in the pool he enjoyed exploring this lovely oasis. Lots of flora and fauna to sniff. We’ll definitely come back when the weather warms up and hopefully I can coax him into the water if I’m in there too. Our host, George was so accommodating, providing water for me and Spanky along with dog toys if we wanted. He has 3 dogs of his own who barked hello from inside the house and surprisingly my reactive pup didn’t care ☺️Debra R.

55THIS IS A MUST COME!
The host is so kind and gave us water and toys. I have a reactive dog and he was very understanding with him. My dog isn’t used to water so it was a very slow going process but because of the different levels in the pool it gave him plenty of time to ease into it. Will definitely be coming again! mei r.

55George’s beautiful backyard oasis is perfect for pups and their humans! George is very sweet and made sure that we were all set up with waters for us, our dog & pool toys. The pool is made for doggie play time! There’s an ample shallow section that our dog bounded around in but he was a little scared to venture further, but he throughly enjoyed running around the pool and dropping toys over by the amazing fountain that fed into the pool.
We had a great time and look forward to having many more visits!

FAQ about our Oak Park 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.
