My dogs are new to swimming but this place was still fantastic because there was a huge yard for them to run around in. A simply amazing sniff spot.

Place was beautiful and everything my dog needed to have a fun-filled morning. It was the perfect place to see if my dog liked to swim. My dog had so much fun running around and playing, and I loved that I didn’t have to worry about other distractions or my dog jumping over the fence.

This is the best sniff spot. Cassies pool is just wonderful! She's an amazing host and my two Aussies LOVE to swim. I highly recommend this spot!

55This was my first time using Sniffspot and I'm so glad I found this site! The host was very quick to reply to my questions, and the instructions sent after reserving a spot were very clear. I especially am glad there was a picture showing which gate to enter! It was awkward going to a stranger's house and just walking in their backyard, but maybe the more I do this the easier it'll become! XD My two girls, a German Shepherd puppy (8 months) and German Shepherd/lab mix (6 years) (both rescues) absolutely LOVED their visit. They at first ran around the yard getting all their sniffs in. Then, I finally got them to notice the pool and got them swimming. Please note if you have a large dog with arthritis they would NOT like the pool. The steps going into the pool are steep and narrow. If you have a large arthritis dog best look for a pool with a ramp or larger, shorter steps. I like that I can also go into the pool to play with my dogs and ensure they are safe while swimming. Some places don't want anyone but the dogs in the pool. There is a lot of traffic noise so if that spooks your dog then this spot wouldn't be best. My girls did do some barking because they would see the top of trucks over the fence and kept thinking it was something else that needed to be barked at. It was a bit of a drive for me, but my girls passed out in the car ride home which means they had a LOT of fun and I definitely will bring them back at some point! Exhausted puppers means happy puppers!Asteria E.

Everything was set up for us just as it said in the instructions! Jax loved the pool and it was great having access to a life jacket!!

Oh my gosh, this place was AMAZING and Cassie was the best host who promptly replied to my messages and answered all of my questions, was extremely accommodating, and gave clear instructions as well. My two dogs LOVED her beautiful pool and huge fenced in yard. The area was very clean and she even put out fresh water for my pups and had a large assortment of life jackets and even some toys. Can’t wait to bring my dogs back! This was my first time using Sniffspot but there is no need for me to look elsewhere because this was just PERFECT! Thank you so much Cassie! 😊

Absolutely fabulous space for a doggie hangout! Tons of yard to run around in and a beautiful pool for them to swim. They had water for the dogs, which was super nice and it felt completely private with the tall fence. Highly recommend!

Beautiful space! We used to go swimming in a quarry near our last home but since moving I wanted to find a new spot for him to practice as he’s a bit nervous swimming, but LOVES water. This was my first swim spot rental and it was so perfect to have a quiet place for him to play in the water without the distraction of other dogs or people. Absolutely gorgeous pool and yard, clean and private.

Everyone! Nola's swimming hole is the best! Cassie is a wonderful, very responsive host. One of my Aussies can't turn down any body of water! He LOVES to swim. My older girl is much more demure and quiet. Very anxious girl (from birth). She sees Nola's pool as a spa. Float in, do a quiet figure 8 and float out. Meanwhile Tucker is yipping for me to throw that toy (and NOW).🙂 as soon as we even start to get close to the turn, they're so excited. I tell them in the am that we're going swimming and WOW, instant excitement. With my guys we don't even need the beautiful fenced in yard. They don't even bother. The pool is so clean, warmed by the sun and beautiful that I enjoy it as much as they do. Thank you for sharing you spot! I'll be sad when it closes for the winter. But I'll be back when it opens. Thanks Cassie!! 🐕‍🦺🙂

We had a great time! The yard is huge and the pool felt great. Can’t wait to come back.

Huge yard with lush grass and a big pool. Our dog has taken swim lessons before, but this was the first time we actually got to swim in a pool with him. It was great for building his confidence and excitement about swimming. Loved that there were doggy life jackets and a dog float available. Between swimming hard, playing hard, and sniffing everywhere, my dog was absolutely exhausted when we got home. He even spent most of the next day sleeping. Great spot

Amazing, quick responses from the host about any questions. Very clean. There is a fire pit so be careful if your dog likes to be a bad boy and eat charred wood.

Cassie’s place is awesome! Her directions were very clear and her pool was amazing and yard was so fun for my puppy to explore. Thanks to Cassie for opening her place up to us and for her clear communication!

Atlas had an amazing time. The yard and the pool was clean, we felt very safe. It was atlas’s first time swimming. He got to learn and run around in the big yard.

This spot was perfect for my dog, who is high energy and loves to retreat balls. The yard was spacious and perfect for retrieving. I will definitely come back to this location!

Beautiful large flat yard my dog loved it. Even though my dog isnt sure about pools and wouldn't get in. The pool is awsome and he enjoyed running the walls. Dream spot for running or swimming

Everything was great and my dog had tons of fun swimming. The space was extremely clean (even after it being storming for multiple days) and exactly as described! We will definitely be returning!

Chelsea loved this Sniffspot! Very clean, huge yard to run around in, the pool is a great feature, and multiple places to sit and relax.

The yard is spacious and very well kept. We had a wonderful time playing and catching ball. Afterwards there was a bowl of water which both 'girls' highly appreciated.

FAQ about our Waterford dog parks
