55Another great visit to this SniffSpot! It's so nice to find a towel and fresh water for my pups when we arrive. The directions for entry are super clear and the backyard space is perfect!
REWCTIVE DOGS: This neighborhood is super quiet and there are no dogs that can be seen or heard in the neighboring yards. The Hosts small dogs glanced out the sliding glass door to that backyard twice but only for a few seconds. This is a great spot for my dog reactive boy and his anti-social sister. 😊Shannon F.

55Great spot for the dogs! Beautiful and well maintained yard. Great host that sent a message ahead of time letting me know everything was ready for us. Arrived to find water for me and the dogs, a towel and lovely note from Jordan. The dogs had a great time exploring the area. We will definitely be back! 🐾🐾Karen F.

55Narobi definitely had a blast! Not even a minute in trying to get acclimated and he’s blasting off and making himself at home
lol. He was a bit intimidated by the pool but we’ll work on that. Jordyn was very accommodating and super polite. We’ll be back! Ehjay I.

55This is the Four Seasons of Sniffspots. We could chill here all day and will definitely comeback! This spot is beautiful, super clean and quite. Jordyn left a note welcoming us, plus some water for us and the pups and a bluetooth speaker to play music. Matthew D.

55Nice sized yard with room to run and swim and a great atmosphere for mom and dad! 😉 The pool has a stepped entry, which is very nice for gaining confidence! The gate was a little sticky, so just give it a little push.Tanya B.

55Jordyn’s place was so cute and provided a nice spot for my pups to explore. She even put a water bowl and towel out for us, which I thought was so thoughtful. It wasn’t warm enough to convince my pups to swim so we’ll have to come back when it’s a little hotter. A great first experience with sniff spot!Ciara F.

55Definitely a doggy resort and a human retreat! Super clean and neat with plenty of trees and plants for my dog to sniff. I like that the grass area is turf so it doesn't get muddy when it's wet. The pool is very dog friendly and there's plenty of shade around the yard.
I have a larger, active dog and this yard had plenty of things to occupy his time. Sniffing, running, swimming! Super sniffspot!Leslie R.

55This was an amazing backyard! Plenty of space to run and play fetch. Plants to sniff on. Clean, organized, nothing that could hurt a dog and nothing to worry about breaking. Heiko had a blast! We did training, he tried out the water, and later that evening he fell asleep very happy. I hope to go back there again soon!Anette S.

55A very spacious, clean, well maintained and beautiful space!! The dogs loved it, will definitely be back. The only thing is to be careful of the glass orbs/lights. They are beautiful and placed all around in a decorative way. I took the liberty of moving the ones in the middle of the yard off to the side when I was throwing the ball. I put them all back when it was time to go.Cynthia N.

55This is a very dog friendly and safe yard with a beautiful graduated level pool and waterfall. There is astroturf to run and play on, concrete around the pool and patio areas, and lots of plants with mulch on a slope in the back of the yard. My pup had a great time, friendly hosts, and she was safe to roam. Michele S.

55I couldn’t believe how beautiful and big this backyard space was. Fence is secure and high so there were no outside triggers at all. My girl had such a blast playing fetch and cooling off in between with dips in the pool. We’ll definitely be back soon.Rachel W.

55Amazing! Unfortunately my dog was a chicken and wouldn’t go in the pool but he did love running around and sniffing everything and lounging in the shade. Super quiet, clean and a bowl of ice water was provided! no dogs heard or seen (which was great for my reactive dog) and there was even a little trail across the street that we walked after!Stephanie S.

55Wonderful place. The host was nice enough to turn on the waterfall and leave a bowl of ice water out on a 80+ degree afternoon. The yard was clean and secure, with lots of shady spots for rest. My Georgie had so much fun sniffing around that she didn’t even care much for her ball. Will definitely book again.Le H.

FAQ about our Santee dog water parks
Are dog water parks safe?
While public dog parks have a number of safety issues, such as aggressive dogs, disease transmission and general cleanliness, Sniffspot dog parks are 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 are 5 stars. If you are worried about whether you can have an enjoyable water experience, just know that it is possible to have peace of mind when visiting dog waterparks by following basic safety guidelines. Some great ways to stay safe around water with your dog include learning canine CPR and keep an eye on your dog at all times to ensure they are not distressed. You can learn more about safety around water here.
How can I find the best dog water parks in Santee?
How do I know if a dog water park works for my dog?
Start by applying basic filters, such as fencing and distractions, to find a dog park that works for your dog. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our fully fenced dog water parks. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our dog water parks where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. Make sure to review the amenities of the spot to see what kind of water features are offered to make sure it works for your dog. If your dog is not a strong swimmer, then perhaps choose a dog water park with tamer water features rather than a river or beach, for instance. We also recommend reading reviews and reaching out to the host with any questions, and of course, checking water park hours.
What are the requirements to bring my dog to a Sniffspot water park?
We require that all dogs have basic vaccinations or equivalent titers. We do not allow dogs with a bite history. We require that guests sign our waiver and agree to follow our safety rules. Additionally, we recommend following our water safety guidelines.
Will there be other dogs at the Sniffspot water park at the same time as me?
Sniffspot only allows one booking at a time and any host dogs are required to be kept away from the spot during visits. We also enforce 30 min time buffers between bookings.
If you are planning an amazing dog water park party, each Sniffspot water park has their own rules regarding special events. Many water parks allow doggie birthday parties, training and other event types. Event organizers need to be responsible for their guests and event organizers should coordinate with the host regarding their fun party.
What are the coolest doggie water features available?
Sniffspot dog water parks can have a variety of features, everything from swimming pools to rivers to beaches to hoses and kiddie pools. If you are dreaming of a curtain of water, water tunnels, a ball pit pool, water slide ball pits, splash pools or other cool features, you can definitely find amazing features at Sniffspot dog water parks. Each water park is different, so check the details of the park to find the incredible dog water park of your dreams.
