Instructions were clear and concise. Loved that there were provided toys and supplies for my doggo. Family and I loved the opportunity to cool off on this incredibly hot day with our four-legged companion.
55Pros:
•very communicative and responsive host
•clear instructions provided
•additional amenities: poop bags, trash can, water bowl, bug spray, sun screen, balls, dog towels
•wooden fence is reinforced with chicken wire all the way around for any gaps—there’s a lot of brush in the back and sides that someone could easily escape through had they not reinforced the fencing with chicken wire. Thank you! 🙌🏼
•host reassured that their dogs would be kept in a room that’s not visible to dogs in the yard, keeping my reactive dogs safe. Thank you! 🙌🏼
Cons:
Not much! There was a couple random poops in the yard when I got there so I was just careful when stepping, but that’s to be expected anywhere there’s dogs.

55What a nice sniffspot! Unfortunately, we had to leave after 10min as it started thundering and one of my dogs is absolutely terrified of it but the host was understanding, checked in on us, and sent as a discount code for our next visit…which is already booked 😉Meggie S.

Diana's Fully Fenced Yard For Dogs To Rent In Sanford | Sniffspot
55Melon and I had a great time doing our first SniffSpot adventure! The backyard was spacious and taken care of. I dipped my feet in the pool but didn’t get fully in, but it felt fantastic. Melon enjoyed playing in the hose water and doing zoomies. Will definitely book again, either as a little pool day with a friend with Melon playing with some toys in the yard, or just another day focusing on Melon specifically! Definitely recommend! Also- this SniffSpot is near a great park with basketball and a playground and a beautiful lake with benches to sit! Natalie J.

55The backyard space was just perfect enough to feel comfortable to relax knowing my babies were close and in a well secured fence. The accommodations were great with the towels and poop bags! We look forward to coming back! Kristen T.

55This Sniffspot was secure, and the host was very accommodating with our ever changing Florida weather. We didn’t get to stay the whole hour, but that won’t stop us from coming back when the weather is more forgiving. Thank you for being so accommodating!Michelle Z.

55We’ve been to quite a few different Sniffspots that have pools but this one was by far the best experience. Our large dog loves to swim but our two little ones don’t. So it’s a perfect mix between pool time and a large area for the little ones to explore. The area was spotless and the host was very accommodating and responsive. We will definitely be back.

55Such a cute and perfect place to bring your pup! Plenty of towels, poop bags, and water for our dog. We brought his dog shampoo and hosed him off after to get all the chlorine out. We did hear dogs barking inside but our dog is totally fine with that and it put us more at ease that the hosts were clearly dog people too! We had complete privacy and loved letting our dog run around the yard. Bridgette d.

FAQ About Sanford Dog Parks
Are dog parks good for dogs?
It is important for dogs to have off leash exercise to sniff and run. But the free and open nature of public dog parks has drawbacks. There could be aggressive dogs, disease transmission and cleanliness issues. For this reason, many dog behaviorists discourage visiting public dog parks and recommend Sniffspot's private dog parks. Sniffspot private dog parks only allow one guest to book at a time and are not open to the public, which solves many of these issues.
Are dog parks safe?
While public dog parks have a number of safety issues, such as aggressive dogs, disease transmission and general cleanliness, Sniffspot dog parks 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. 12% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Sanford area are 5 stars.
How do I know if a dog park works for my dog?
You can filter Sniffspot dog parks by fencing and distractions. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our 467 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 632 off leash areas where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can also filter locations to avoid other domestic animals and people. We also recommend reading reviews and reaching out to the host with any questions.
