55This sniffspot was great, all 3 of our dogs had a great time, and they’re all very different energies from one another. They each found something there that they loved! Spacious field, big pond, and shade were prominent features, with sitting areas. Water bowl, poop bags, towels, and toys were all provided! Secure fencing and everything felt clean and safe. Will definitely bring the doggos again when we’re in the area! Lucienne A.

55This is a wonderful spot, particularly if your dogs love the water. The pond is a great place for them to play, and there is also a large meadow for dogs who preferred dry land. The spot was very clean and spacious. Grass was very short. Some gopher holes, but did not pose any issues for us. Definitely one to return toDavid L.

55This place is fabulous, especially the pond, especially on blazing hot days. Usually the neighbor's horse comes to the fence to say hello to the dogs, which gives them a thrill.Diane M.

55We love Allison's! We try to go as often as we can when we pass through Petaluma. My dog loves the pond and all the space to chase balls in. It is a great place to play with her, to train and to hang out and have some time in the beautiful countryside while she plays. The hosts are welcoming, friendly and very easy to communicate with. I am very happy that the hosts share this space as a sniffspot!kathryn o.

FAQ about our Berkeley 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.

We also recommend reading reviews and reaching out to the host with any questions, and of course, checking water park hours.
