55Excellent spot, just what Gainesville area was in need of for the dog folks. There’s no other acreage fully fenced in for SniffSpot (that I’m aware of) around Gainesville.
Easy to find location. Peaceful, well maintained property (and area) along a quiet paved road. Tosha was very responsive and thought of cute touches throughout - pulling in, I noticed a street sign “please drive slow, dogs at play”.
A horse is visible in an adjacent pasture but seemed well versed with dogs (didn’t spook, just kept grazing when my dogs and I walked by the fence line). I loved the field layout - ample opportunities for sniffing, romping, playing, and training. Centrally located in the field is a well maintained cluster of trees that offer great shade and coverage for just relaxing.
10/10 recommend and can’t wait to bring my pups back!Liz P.

55Tosha’s place is beautiful! So peaceful and quiet. There were some nice trees in the middle to offer shade as well as some in the back corner. We were there in morning. Easy to find. Plenty of parking! The dogs loved running free!Melissa M.

55We love Tosha’s spot. If you can get there early enough, you can catch a beautiful sunrise. We often see deer on our way in and the dogs love running and exploring the field. There’s a beautiful tree in the middle that offers a ton of shade for us to sit under and relax. Tosha is super responsive, and helpful! We love it!Melissa M.

55Today we had another beautiful morning at Tosha’s! We walked all around and did all the sniffing. Then we relaxed under the tree on our blanket and I read my book. What an amazing way to start the day! Melissa M.

55Tosha was a life saver. We were two hours from home when our previous booking fell through. I checked hosts in the area and messaged Tosha, and she was super quick to respond and extremely accommodating to our situation. Her property description is perfect and so easy to find. There is so much room for the pups to run. They took full advantage of the shady section of the property, too. I highly recommend and would definitely go back.Tiff D.

55This place was great!! Definitely would recommend. The only issue was the stairs are small and have a railing in the middle which made it hard for my dog who’s not totally sold on swimming to confidently get in the pool. But if your dog loves water, this place is amazing!!Marni F.

55Huge pool! Great private backyard. Toys and poo cleanup equipment were all provided. It was a super nice space. My dogs love to swim and love water but sadly they were not fans of the pool because it was hard for them to get in and out. They might get more comfortable over time. The stairs to get in and out are a bit small but I’m sure a bigger dog would be able to do it easily.
They did love smelling everything and playing chase and fetch in the yard! You should definitely give it a shot!! 100% recommend. Stephanie S.

55Great site to let your pup play. The property was well shaded, including parking. Cody enjoyed exploring the property with little bursts of zoomies. Though Cody wasn't interested in swimming, the pool was very clean. The fencing was secure, and there were no neighboring distractions. Keith P.

FAQ about our Old Town 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?
While public dog parks have a number of safety issues, such as aggressive dogs, disease transmission and general cleanliness, Sniffspot dog parks 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 in the Old Town area are 5 stars.
How do I know if a dog park works for my dog?
You can filter Sniffspot dog parks by fencing and distractions. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our 79 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 7 off leash areas where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. 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.
