55This was our first sniff spot! We loved cooling off in the pool with our pups. Although my Doberman wasn’t too sure about the pool we managed to get her in the water twice. She enjoyed running around the yard and sniffing all the new smells. My chiweenie is a great swimmer and spent most of his time swimming. Everything was great, my Doberman is dog reactive and could her a small dog barking the whole time and reacted to it a few times, but it wasn’t too much trouble. I would definitely come again, the fence is secure and I love the double entry fence to ensure the safety of visitors. Thanks so much Jennifer for sharing my your pool with us!Fatima G.

555 stars because dogs had fun.
Pool doesn't really have much of a shallow end so heads up. Our pups jumped in and enjoyed playing in the water and more so once they mastered the stairs. Each stair is approx 12 inches high.
The pictures show pool, stairs and poop spot and should provide info for those considering booking this spot.Niess W.

55Very fun and enjoyable afternoon. The pool is perfect for big dogs and little. My dogs had no issues with the stairs.
They only thing to maybe keep in mind, if you have a reactive dog, you do have to pass a screen door where a small dog lives. This dog was barking as we passed and set off one of my dogs. We redirected quickly and went on to enjoy the pool! Jamie T.

55Great neighborhood, easy backyard access, clean pool and yard, and lots of enrichment opportunities. My boys had a blast cooling off in the pool, but spent equal time playing with the toys and sniffing around. Grateful for such a thoughtful host!Cecilia R.

55The water was nice, cold and lovely. The area was clean and without any trash. Also the owner was very responsive and friendly via communication. While one of my dog's couldn't go in for medical reasons at the time my other dog had a blast therefore I will definitely be booking again so my older dog can go in later on. Alexis L.

55This is a great Sniffspot!! The pool alone is fabulous and there's also a lot of yard to run around in and explore. Our German Shepherd was a little shy about getting fully in the pool but she made it to the second step and loved getting wet. She had such a blast! The yard appears small but she ran her zoomies all over it so there's plenty of room to run full out! We will definitely be back. Kimberly B.

FAQ about our Sacramento 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 Sacramento?
There are 21 dog water parks in the Sacramento area. The most popular dog water park is Valentine's Doggy Dip. You can browse all of our dog water parks here.
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?
Sniffspot only allows one booking at a time and any host dogs are required to be kept away from the spot during visits. We also enforce 30 min time buffers between bookings.
If you are planning an amazing dog water park party, each Sniffspot water park has their own rules regarding special events. Many water parks allow doggie birthday parties, training and other event types. Event organizers need to be responsible for their guests and event organizers should coordinate with the host regarding their fun party.
What are the coolest doggie water features available?
Sniffspot dog water parks can have a variety of features, everything from swimming pools to rivers to beaches to hoses and kiddie pools. If you are dreaming of a curtain of water, water tunnels, a ball pit pool, water slide ball pits, splash pools or other cool features, you can definitely find amazing features at Sniffspot dog water parks. Each water park is different, so check the details of the park to find the incredible dog water park of your dreams.
