55Our party had such a great time! The pool is stunning and perfect for dogs who are nervous around water or new to learning to swim! The misting fan was a lifesaver. We can’t wait to come back!Anne E.

55We had a great time! Our velcro dog didnt need us at all while we were there. Prudence was instantly comfortable and loved exploring the large yard. Both Prudence and Brick loved the pool time. Great pool set up with shallow ledges and easy access in and out for the pups. Brick is turning into a fish!. This is a great place and we will be returning. Maegen D.

55Skits Creek is basically the Rosebud Motel of dog parks—in the best way. Private, chill, and exactly what my dog needed to live their best Alexis Rose life. It’s been a lifesaver for avoiding crowded parks, and has been clean, safe, and super easy to book. Love it!Kaylee W.

55We love this place!
Beautiful pool and great yard. Cooper & I were regulars here and unfortunately we had a setback because of his heart & had to put swimming on the back burner.
But he’s doing better for the time being.
As we got closer and still 5 miles away, he knew we were coming to his favorite place!
We are so grateful that you share your place! It makes me so happy to see him happy and enjoying life! He’s impossible to keep him out of the pool.
Thank you so much.!!

55A new favorite for us! We love how the pool has a large step down, perfect for pups who don’t like jumping off the edge of the pool. Great size yard and tons of toys and balls for the dogs to play with. Sarah F.

55This was our first time to Skit's Creek, and I only wish we had known about Sniffspot & Skit's Creek sooner, as we live so closeby. Parking is on a quiet culdesac, and the side entrance to the yard felt very private, comfortable, safe, and secure for us and our dog's. The yard and pool are huge, and we especially loved the huge shallow step, making it easy and comfortable for our dog's to get in and out of the pool. Host Andy gives you complete privacy, and our communication's with him were very friendly and kind. Our family and our Golden's had an amazing time and we're really looking forward to going back.Julie B.
