55Super nice neighborhood and the pool was very cool. My dog had a lot of fun. He's old so I don't let him go to the deep end but there was more than enough space on the steps for us to play there and do shallow swims! Kailah K.

55This spot was AWESOME for our two dogs who used to have a pool at home! They jumped right in and had a blast! The fence and gates were all very secure, and we overall had a great time!Darlene F.

55Very clean and nice. Easy access.I didn't stay the full hour because it was mainly to see if my dog liked to swim, but he didn't so we left early. Plenty of toys for dogs to play with.Wendy T.

55Vince and Ava's poolside oasis was perfect! My two pups loved swimming in the pool and loved exploring outside the pool! It is the perfect place for everything and there is even enough room to play fetch. Denise was so kind and very quick at communicating as well! We all felt comfortable there and had a great time. Marley and Mya cannot wait to go back!! Andrea G.

55Visited for the 2nd time with my other dog. Had another great time and enjoyed a puppy ice cream this time. Beautiful, clean and peaceful!!!
There were 2 small dogs out in yard (unattended) next door, barking and standing right at the (see-through) fence, so just be aware if this would be an issue for your dog. Lindsey G.

55My babies didn’t like swimming, but we still all had fun! Their friend Dunkin had a blast for all of us. We will definitely be back, but going to try life jackets next time! It was a nice change of scenery for us! Anna W.

55I am so thankful that Denise is willing to share her beautiful pool and yard with us. It was perfect for my senior dog. It’s nice to have the ledge to sit on in the water to assist her and I get to enjoy the water while doing so. Sarah H.

55Great instructions on how to get into the area. Clean pool and yard. Pool has multiple underwater ledges for the pups that don't want to swim the whole length of the pool. My girl loved the area and meeting the chickens. Alexa J.

55Great Day at Vince & Ava's Poolside Oasis! Our two labs had a blast yesterday and were able to swim to their heart's content. The host's pool was perfect for them to fetch and was easy for them to step in and out - although Archie did not leave the water once. We will be back.Matthew J.

55Great private space to introduce your dog to swimming! It was a first experience for my dog and I was glad to have a controlled environment with everything I needed to help get her comfortable with it. Also, plenty of yard space and they offer treats for your pup so it was a great spot beyond just the pool.Rima P.

FAQ about our Chesapeake dog fields
Are dog fields safe?
If you are looking for an adventure, but also looking for safety, Sniffspot dog fields are a great option. While public dog parks have a number of safety issues, such as aggressive dogs, distracted dog owners, disease transmission and general cleanliness, Sniffspot dog parks are much safer than public dog parks. With Sniffspot all bookings are private space for just you and doggy friends you bring with you and we require all dogs to be vaccinated (or have equivalent titers). Especially for training, privacy is ideal. Contrary to public dog parks, all Sniffspot locations are vetted and reviewed by guests so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog for off leash exercise or outdoor training. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits are 5 stars, while public dog parks often do not even have verified reviews. All payment is done securely online by credit card in a few simple clicks.
All park rental information is available online. Start by filtering parks by fencing, size and distractions, to find a private spot that works for your dog. If your dog has poor recall, you can visit one of our secure fields. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our dog fields where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can review the details of the listing to make sure it works as your desired activity space, for example, safe dog exercise, dog training, a stress-free adventure with your furry friend or even a puppy event. You can even check the park amenities chart for amenities such as indoor training facilities, agility field, synthetic turf, exercise balls or field parking availability in advance. If inclement weather is an issue or poor field conditions, you can reschedule your visit up to 2 hours in advance.
What are the requirements to bring my dog to a Sniffspot dog field?
We require that all four-legged friends 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. Make sure to check host rules before visiting to ensure, for instance, that you are following allowable sports activities rules and any special events rules.
Will there be other dogs at the Sniffspot field at the same time as me?
No. Facility rentals are for private play time and any host dogs are required to be kept away from the area during visits, so this is perfect for a private adventure for you and your doggie friends, and perhaps a human friend. Hosts understand that many guests have dogs in training and are nervous owners. So when you book a Sniffspot dog field you have the entire private spot to yourself. We also enforce 30 min time buffers between time slots so you will not run into other guest dogs or a previous person when coming or leaving in the field parking area. Some hosts may have multiple fields, but there is always a buffer between fields.
