The yard was as clean as expected and has a handy poop can. It's a large yard with a lot of space to run and sniff.

Harley and Charlie enjoyed their visit, our hostess was friendly, welcoming and helpful. It was great to have a poop station to use! The yard was fully fenced, and there was seating available.

Absolutely loved it! My dog had a blast sniffing new smells, playing with all the sticks, and loved running around! She warned me there might be poop since she’s been traveling for work. But didn’t see any at all! For sure will return with my boy!

The space is very open and fully fenced and was just a very lively place to bring my little guy!

This was our first time using Sniffspot. My dogs had a great time. The only downside is that I didn’t bring bug spray.

Great spot to get the zoomies out. We only saw one dog walking across the street. Other than that no triggers for my reactive girl. Fencing is good and there was a kiddie pool should your dog be into that. Easy to find the poo bin and there are comfy spots to sit. Was clean and the grass was nice and short. We will return!

My guys had a wonderful time exploring and sniffing. Such a pleasure to let them wander safely off leash. The property is clean and well maintained. The directions made it easy to find. Thanks Heather!

We had a fabulous time at Mario’s Place. Our boys loved exploring the fence line and chasing after their tennis balls.

This was the best sniff spot we’ve been too ! Clean, tons of space to roam around, and beautiful ! Love it and will be back.

Great fenced in area for pups to run around and enjoy safely. Both my dogs had a blast running full speed, sniffing everything, and playing fetch! Fence was secure with some mesh/ chicken wire installed for the gaps so even little dogs should be secure. A little bit of poop and we found a can in the yard, but understandable for such a large space and we scheduled on short notice. The listing does note that you may hear dogs and see people, since it's a full house. Our dogs were fine with it but keep that in mind if your dogs are more reactive; the gate is located right next to the house and you can see when people come and go. There was a poop station conveniently located at the gate and I love the extra option to hang out with a fire and marshmallows if you want. Will be coming back here and would definitely recommend!

Huge yard! Completely fenced in. You may see wood fence strips but there is mesh netting so the yard is fully fenced in. I have two 15 pound dogs and one 50 pound dog and the fencing kept everyone inside and safe. The dogs LOVED the space to run around, play with toys, and countless smells for them to check out! Poop bags and disposal can are supplied along with chairs for guests. My fur kids are worn out for the rest of the day!

Lovely large yard that is fully fenced in. It was a perfect quiet spot for my dog to run around and sniff. Thanks! 😊

It was a very large fenced in yard. Our greyhound had a wonderful time sprinting across the yard. Very clean and even had a convenient poop station.

Ashley H.

March 2023

What a great experience! I had a little gathering for my dog’s birthday so we had a group of 4-5 dogs present. I paid extra for s’mores and fire pit access and it did not disappoint! Everything was laid out and ready for us when I arrived. All we had to do was just kick back and enjoy. The property is clean, quiet, beautifully open, and so large! The pups had such a good time and could reeeeally spread out. If you are considering this property, I’d highly recommend.

This spot has plenty of room for dogs who love to run. The fencing is secure and the yard is as clean as expected. There's plenty of nature along the outside of the fence for dogs who enjoy sniffing. While no dogs were visible from the yard, they were audible.

FAQ about our Gainesville dog parks
