This was my first time at this spot and it was amazing! My pups favorite thing was definitely the bungee rope! And he loved playing with all of the jolly balls. This spot is clean and well maintained, while also offering so many different types of entertainment and enrichment for pups! We will be coming back ❤️

This is a perfect space for zooming. My foster puppy is a terrier mix, and she wore herself out on the rope toy! Loved that there was fresh water, lots of toys, a trashcan and plenty of shade. We will be frequent fliers here!

My dachshund absolutely loved it! He was sniffing around the whole time, and even played with the rope toy for a bit! Of course, his favorite was the Chuck It, some things never change! I was also able to get some work done with the WiFi being super fast! Highly recommend!

This spot was wonderful! I met up with a friend so our dogs could meet and run around. It was easy to navigate with clear instructions and all the toys you could possibly need! The host was delightful and communicate and she even left out some fresh produce from her garden for us. Will definitely be back! Highly recommend.

Very comfortable and easy going. We have 2 reactive rescues we are training and local dog parks are too busy and overwhelming. They clearly show care here and have many toys and anemities for your babies! It is reclusive, alot of running area and toys. It's it's a run so it is not acres, but perfect enough for an alternative for a dog park! Very accommodating and had no issues booking. I loved all the extras including a dog bath and a puppy popsicle.

Amazing spot! They have everything you could need and more. My dog was too interested in smelling all of the new smells, but she had fun!!

This was our first ever Sniffspot and it was a hit! Extremely well maintained with a great variety of toys for the pup(s), although mine much rather enjoyed sniffing the perimeter :P The additional add-ons are a great value and we had a great time! Host was gracious and communicative, we will definitely be back :)

We love this spot so much! Milo enjoyed sniffing around and particularly was fond of the human chair today.

Ripley had a wonderful time! The selection of toys was great. We kept her away from the herding ball because she gets loud and obsessed with it 🙄 but the herding egg was really unique and interesting for her. She loved the chuck-it ball and anything she can catch. The space is clean, beautiful and easy to find. We didn’t use the wash station, but it looked paw-fect! 😍 Such a nice setup.

My dogs loved it here!! you can really tell the owner put a lot of thought and care to make sure dogs and owners have a great time (there was even a sign with our name on it welcoming us!) I did a late night visit, and it was nicely lit and a little less hot which was nice! The fence was secure, and everything was spotless. My dogs absolutely loved the variety of toys you had! They instantly got the zoomies, living up to the namesake lol. I will be coming back!!

Always a great time visiting! Appreciated that we could flex our time due to severe rain, as well. Best spot in town!

Amazing amount of room and shade for my mini schnauzer! The yard was clean and had plenty of toys to play with.

My boys had so much fun! Plenty of space to run back and forth. We loved all the amenities (croc not included lol). Lots of toy options and I loved that there’s bug spray! We will definitely be back :)

It was really neat! We went for the bath station as well and it was so convenient. Our dog loved all the smells and we enjoyed trying different toys with her!

This was our first SniffSpot experience and we chose well!! Tyrion and his girlfriend Busy had a great time celebrating Tyrion's 2nd birthday and playing with all the toys provided. They both enjoyed the cold nose confection, although neither of them finished - there was so much to explore! Thank you, we will be back!!

Danica’s spot was great and everything was thought of to make for an enjoyable spot for your dog. We would definitely return

King had so much fun at the Zoomie Zone, I would highly recommend this for nearby college students who need a bit of space for their dogs to run. For reference he’s an athletic 70lb dog, and he was entirely satisfied with the available toys and space. He ended up needing the pet first aid kit (at no fault of the property), which I’m so thankful the host had set out. I told her that we had needed to use some of the supplies and she graciously told me not to worry about it, and wished my dog a quick recovery. As soon as King is ready to play again we’ll be back!

The new additions to this Sniffspot are amazing! Not only are there brand new toys which my heeler enjoyed, but there is now even more privacy with the black tarp on the fence. My dog reactive boy was able to enjoy his time even while there was another dog playing on the house across the street! A few dogs were doing their morning walk and he didn’t even bat an eye. Amazing and thoughtful renovations by a host who truly cares for animals <3.

Thank you for opening your spot to dog families!! Perry and I had a blast throwing his orange Kong balls, 80% he will drop the ball at my feet to throw again otherwise it’s locked in his jaws of steel. Plenty of parking, clean water flowing reservoir, the cedar chips throughout the play area were very soft and pleasant to walk on Danica the owner was extremely nice and we had a blast!!

FAQ about our Gainesville dog parks
