55This place is so cool! Decided to take my pup for her first birthday. Took her a minute to full jump in but she loved playing on the step and getting to splash around. We love the setup and all the amenities provided. Can’t wait to bring her back. Katherine S.

55Duke had the best time celebrating his adoptaversary at Jennifer’s playland! He was able to sniff, run around and most importantly splash in the water (his favorite thing)! We will definitely be back!! Brynn L.

55Jen's place is awesome! She was great and provided fresh water for the dogs. There were toys to play with and a lot of room to run and the swimming pool is huge. My pups had a great time exploring and playing with each other. We never heard or saw the dogs on property. Will definitely be back when it's warmer to enjoy the pool! Thank you, Jen!Thuyen B.

55This was my first time ever using Sniffspot, I was extremely impressed by this property, and the owner! I brought my two doggies, Skittles (Jack Russell) and Minnie (Chihuahua), my mom brought her two chihuahuas (Bella and Wiggles). The property was super straight forward, just park by the gate then open the gate when it’s your time to this back yard oasis! This Sniffspot allowed the pups, my mom and I the opportunity to have an awesome time in the pool. The property it’s self is gorgeous, bamboo trees are gorgeous, pool and yard were extremely clean and well kept. I did bring my own doggy waste bags, I did not note if there were doggie bags on property so I would recommended to be safe bring your own, on the way out there was a trash can to place dog waste. Dog bowl with water in it was present, but I did opt to bring my own dog bowl and waters. Like I said property was well maintained, the pool is not caged in so there will be some debris, naturally otherwise extremely well kept. Not sure if owner was home/present, did not hear or see any advice that suggested they were. No dogs barking around property, which was nice. Overall I don’t even think I heard traffic noise. The only downside and THIS IS NO FAULT TO THE OWNER OR PROPERTY was that the pavement pavers surrounding the immediate pool were extremely hot… I had a hard time walking on them without shoes, they were really hot. My time slot was between 2:30pm to 5pm, if I were to rent this Sniffspot again I would rent it in the morning or the evening versus midday. Like I said this is NO FAULT to the owner or property, besides I thought that my doggies would either be in the pool or exploring the property but for some reason they kept trying to walk on the hot pavers LOL should not be an issue if your pup enjoys exploring or being in the pool!!Emilee F.

55First time using sniff spot and had a great experience. Smooth easy access. Absolutely beautiful comfortable high fenced space. Showing our foster a pool for the first time made it a special experience. Only recommendation is even more light. Yard is pretty well lit just in specific areas. Tyler M.

FAQ about our Palm River-Clair Mel 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 Palm River-Clair Mel 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 468 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 36 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.
