55This is an amazing Sniffspot! There was so much space for my dog to explore and run around in, and he loved swimming in the ponds! I wish it was closer to home so that we could come more often, but we will definitely be back! Marina N.

55Such a great property. My two dogs really enjoyed the run in the large open field. No other dogs or people around. It’s not fenced but because it’s so big, we had no issues at all with our two GDDs off leash and play. And the sunset is beautiful. Thank you so much for sharing such a wonderful property with us. We will be back! Jun Z.

55Had a beautiful morning here today. Saw geese with goslings, a bald eagle, a pair of swans, an egret or heron, and a wild turkey. Just glorious for me, and a sniffing safari for Kya. Stephanie J.

55Beautiful huge property, our dogs loved running around and splashing thru the puddles and pond. Easy to find and the wide open spaces make it easy to watch your dogs. The bugs were barely noticeable but make sure to bring waterproof shoes!Kristyen K.

FAQ about our Waverly 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 Waverly 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 170 fully fenced dog parks in the area.
