55This was the day of full-on rain and Sarah checked in with us to make sure if we still wanted to use the time slot and if so, provided enough towels for us to clean the dogs afterwards . She also offered us a chance to cancel should we wish to do so too . The dogs had fun in the rain and the extra towels were much appreciated. Sally W.

55Love that this pool has a nice large landing area for those doggies that just want to keep their relationship with the water in the friend zone. Both of my pups had a blast. Angela L.

55This is the first Sniff Spot I brought Maddy to in May to see how much she was able to handle and she has had quite the summer swimming in mountain lakes.
She absolutely loves this spot and continues to find fun ways to get in and live her best life! So fortunate to have Sniff Spots so our furry friends can live their best life. Always clean, fun toys and a beautiful setting. Sara S.

55It's a really nice pool set up for dogs to get in and out of the pool. Plus, there is a long ledge at the far end of the deep-end, which turns out to be a good reststop - at least for our golden retrievers. The water temperature was great. We had a lovely time. Asher F.

55Ample street parking, easy to locate the side entrance, private little oasis with lovely landscaping and plenty of shaded seating areas. The pool was super clean and there were a bunch of dog toys available. My friend and I brought our 2 pups and it was so nice being able to have a safe outdoor play date for them in this triple digit heat! We all had a blast!Crystal H.

55This is officially my dogs favorite Sniffspot to date… the large ledges at both ends of the pool created a perfect place to work up the confidence to swim in a pool for his first time! Spot itself was super clean and really well maintained. The hibiscus blooms and bird of paradise are beyond beautiful! Plenty of places for humans to relax as well both shade and sun depending on your preference… house was easy to find, well marked and the signs on the gate made it obvious. Emily R.
