55It was so nice coming out here with my pup Kuma. There was more than enough space and even though it’s not fenced in you don’t really need to worry about cars or other people coming around. My pup enjoyed running around so much, will definitely be coming back out here again! Allie D.

55So much room for my dog to run and explore! The only issue he had was the lack of shade and he gets overheated easily. Otherwise we had a wonderful visit. Malai K.

55What a beautiful, secluded place! With Richmond’s ever growing population it’s not easy to find yourself truly alone in nature but Casey’s property gave us that chance. Izaak was able to just be a dog, running free without a leash and me the chance to feel more relaxed knowing he was allowed to play without all the rules or distractions of tons of other people. It’s a vast piece of land so we did opt to use a long line until we got a feel for the place. A very happy day was had by all. Julia A.

55This was my first time SniffSpotting, & it’s going to be hard to top this perfect day. The dogs ran for hours, jumped in, out, & over creeks, & got their noses full of good smells. The humans were equally enchanted with the fresh air & blue skies. Everyone was grateful for access to the hose. Thank you for sharing this beauty!Alexandra S.

55Awesome property! So big you have to make sure you consider how much time it will take you to hike back to the car on your way out! FYI the fields farthest from the house were not planted when I went, which made them the easiest to walk on. We'll be back!Kathryn N.

5510/10 my favourite place! The crops were beautiful and my dog had a blast exploring! Casey is also a great communicator and I’ve never seen any other pet or human when visiting. I think there is a hunt club (?) nearby so you may hear dogs/shots off in the distance on occasion - but super rare from the few times I’ve been. It was a perfect peaceful day! Karuna K.

FAQ about our Hanover 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 Hanover?
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?
