55Our first visit today, and we'll be back.
Great spot for your dog to play. Everything you need is there from equipment to play on, lots of places to sniff, fresh drinking water to warm water to wash paws off when you are done, (warm water for the dog's paws and towels available was such a nice touch)Nancy N.

55Oh, my. The dogs and I had a wonderful time. Morgan ran around and played with a ball while Riot just roamed around to his heart's content, mostly in the sensory area. This was especially helpful for him because he's nearly blind. We were greeted by a cute welcome sign and lots of water. We thoroughly enjoyed it!! 😀😀Dorothy M.

55Great place to bring your dog. Very clean and lots of room for dogs to run. There was so much included, we didn't have to bring anything. Included were water for dogs and owners, sunscreen, bug spray and lots of toys and treats. Would certainly go back.Carey S.

55We brought Zowie to Pupvacay today for a change of scenery from our own backyard. She seemed to enjoy it, walking around and sniffing everything. Being timid, she only used the red platforms with a lot of coaxing. The place was well-equipped with poop bags, toys, water bowls, water, and towels for her. Overall, Catherine made us feel very welcome, even though we didn't get to meet her.Abby N.

55What a lovely well thought out spot. Greeted by a sign with our name and a little treat bag, we enter the very well shaded spot to find a backyard filled with enrichment. The host has taken a lot of time and research to create a space where dogs can explore sights, smells, different tactile sensations for walking on and walking through. Once thoroughly explored our pup enjoyed playing Frisby and staying cool in the shade. We will definitely be back.Erin F.

55We loved visiting Pupvacay as our first Sniffspot! This huge fenced yard has several gates that can be closed to secure the area. This spot had photo-ops that are constantly modified, many obstacles and entertainment for the dogs, towels, poo-bags, and many activities are set out along the tables for guests to use and enjoy! Will continue to book more time with this Sniffspot as the pups had so much fun they couldn’t possibly do everything in only one hour. 10/10Nicole B.

FAQ about our Oshawa 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. 96% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Oshawa 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 196 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 38 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.
Sniffspot has dog parks with agility equipment and/or dog obstacles in or near Oshawa. The most popular agility option is Pupvacay - in the heart of Oshawa!.
Where in Oshawa can I find a pool for dog swimming?
