55We had an amazing visit! April and Daniel have created such a wonderful, safe, secure, and enjoyable place for your pup to explore. Our dog is extremely reactive and can't visit dog parks or go on walks, but this was the perfect place for him to get outside and explore. A neighbor dog barked once and some neighbors were briefly visible, but the fence is very secure and everything is very secluded overall. Thank you so much for a wonderful visit! Toni M.

55Great space with tons of room! The hosts had a bunch of amenities available. My dog is dog aggressive so it's nice to have somewhere new for us to go and run around. Will be back!Krista S.

55Golden Pines is a beautiful partially shaded fenced in area for dogs! If your dog likes to run and play fetch, this is the place for you. It was safe, clean, and fun to watch my Bella run around and discover every corner of the area. We will be back! Kristie S.

55This was the perfect spot for our pup who hasn't been off leash. So much room for fetch which happens to be her favorite activity. Julie, the host thought of everything when considering what amenities would be important for owners and pups.
There was a doggie pool, a bucket of ice water all ready for Nova. There is plenty of shade and sun. Plenty of seating for a more relaxed visit. Also available were treats for doggo, iced bottled water for guests, dog toys, extra potty bags, towels to clean off your pup, sunscreen, first aid, bug spray and so much more. Even an outlet to charge a phone. It was so much fun for Nova but we also had a blast. So glad we found this little gem. Ashley M.

55This place was amazing! My boys loved roaming around and watching the horses. The splash pad was awesome, my shepherd absolutely loved it. The place was really clean and I thought it was nice that she had towels, water, treat, poop bags, and more available. Alyssa L.

55We were blown away by all of the thought that went into the space. There is something for every kind of dog, and their people. Ezra had a great time in the play space and the high grass. We even had an opportunity to practice our obedience with a great distraction-a horse! Kelly J.

55This place is amazing! Our two labs had a blast! We paid the extra $5.00 to venture off in the fields and explore the property — but if you choose not to, the gated in part exceeded our expectations alone!
Out dogs loved the water and splash pad (they even provide towels in case you didn’t bring one!)
In addition, they have a picnic table, several chairs to relax in while the dogs play, a great selection of dog toys to use, there are refreshments for you and plenty of water and a jar of snacks for the dogs.
So much thought and love is put into this place! We will definitely be returning! Christina H.

55Maggie and Patti LaBelle had such a nice time here. Julie has a lovely setup for both dogs & humans. It was awesome she had a sprinkle pool and a regular pool even though my dogs are boring & didn't go in. 😜 But they had fun on their sniffafari & in the sandpit & occasional zoomies. The yard is very secure and her instructions were spot on. I'll be back, it was worth the drive!Deb S.

55Perfect spot for doggy play date. Each of the four dogs found something to entertain themselves with. The dogs really enjoyed the pool and water feature, the sand box was also a huge hit. Was very clean, had toys, poop bags, and did not have to worry about a dog escaping. Definitely will return!Nicole H.

FAQ about our Cato 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. 97% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Cato 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 74 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 9 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.
