55This was the most wonderful place to bring a dog from the Animal Shelter for DDO! This spot has it all-a puppy pool, a bath station, treats for days, many dog toys, balls to fetch, and an air conditioned "she shed" complete with drinks and popsicles, including pup cups! So much space is available and safely fenced in for the dogs to run their hearts out. Cathy is a wonderful hostess who accommodated our early arrival and was so gracious. I will bring more dogs here to this puppy paradise! Highly recommend! Sunny J.

55This is a Pawsome Sniffspot! Host is an excellent communicator. My girl loved this spot, she was so busy. Huge area for both of us to walk, and get some much needed exercise. We went in the evening. The area is very clean and well organized. We were never bothered by any bugs, or mosquitos. This spot had plenty of comfortable seating. The She Shed was the cutest! Host offered She Shed with AC, fan, towels, snacks, drinks, tons of toys, balls, bug spray, Doggie treat bags, and all the supplies you could possibly need for your visit. We were thankful for a safe, and private place to relax.Martia H.

55Sweetwater Court Private Dog Playground and Gardens was, once again, an awesome experience for me and my four pups!!! Cathy is the most wonderful host and has thought of everything to help a visit to her park be so much fun and tons of exercise for pups and their people. Pristine and safe, my pups especially enjoyed running through the swimming pools on this warm April day. Cathy is an excellent cook who loves to cook for folks who would like to add dinner to their experience. Go visit this wonderful place!!! I promise you will love it as much as my pups and I do😊.

FAQ about our Sophia 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.
