55We LOVED our time at this spot! Awesome pool and great area for sniffing. The only thing I wasn’t totally prepared for (and this might be on me for checking ahead of time) was that there were neighbor dogs that could interact through the fence. My pup is dog friendly so there wasn’t an issue, but it’s something to be aware of!Krista P.

55A nice clean, secure sniff spot with a pool, don't find that anywhere else! Worth the trip from another Hampton Roads city! My Golden Retriever swims at the beaches and rivers, but I'd never gotten him in a swimming pool before. This pool made it an easy transition! It's just the right size and easy to get in and out of! A perfect experience, thanks to the host!Walt J.

55Great spot for swimmers. Very private. You can easily walk in the pool with a dog which helped with my older one. My youngest jumps in. Will definitely visit again. Madison M.

55The ledges were helpful with helping the dogs into the water for the first time. There are several around the pool that will also help them to get themselves out. There are well loved toys available but you can bring ones that float.. key is float not sink lol They do have a net to retrieve ones that do sink. The water was clean and clear and area was nice. There is grass around the outside of the pool area for them to use the bathroom and a dedicated bin outside the gate to dispose. Towels are provided but we brought our own just in case. I would recommend preparing to be totally wet if assisting your pets and having something to sit on during drive home. Also make sure to stop and use the restroom prior to getting there so you don’t have to leave and come back! It was our first time and Will be better prepared next visit. It’s exactly as described, easy to access and we enjoyed thoroughly! Dogs were so worn out and that’s what we wanted. Thank you for offering your pool to the 4 legged kids! Shari W.

55First time using this today and it went above and beyond expectations! Easy instructions for how to get to the pool, towels, water and toys all accessible for use, and an absolutely beautiful location! The step downs in the pool made it easy for my golden’s first time in a pool and as soon as he figured it out, he was off to the zoomie races! We will definitely be back :)Marissa B.

55We absolutely loved this Sniffspot - my dogs had a blast! As soon as I took my Labrador Retriever off leash, she ran and launched straight into the pool, she was in heaven. So great for cooling off in this summer heat. There were water bowls and tons of toys available for our choosing, entry/exit was a breeze. Highly recommend this spot - we will be back for sure!Megan R.

55The fenced in back yard was delightful since it had a metal fence that gave an open feel (verses a privacy fence) to the golf course behind the house. The pool was perfect for our 2 pups! There are little steps at the end and on sides that pups could step on to exit the pool. The water temp was perfect also! It was a great treat for our pups, and we'll be back!Barbara B.

FAQ about our Chesapeake 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 Chesapeake?
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.
