55Beautiful location but would recommend to go earlier or later in the day in the summer because it does get hot and there’s not a ton of shade except under the one big tree. It has great fencing and I would have no worries bringing an escape artist here or teacup sized dog. Bowls are pretty clean and there is a hose available. My dogs LOVE all of the space to run. Oh also lot’s of gophers if your dog likes to sniff them out they will be entertained for hours.Julie B.

55Easy to access, gate is open you just drive in and close behind you. Safe and secure even for my little 7 pounder. My dogs really enjoyed this spot!Julie R.

55Wow, what an amazing time! This was our first SniffSpot ever, and my gosh, I wish we had found out about this long before our first visit. My dog absolutely loved the space and whose favorite form of enrichment is smelling, had a field day smelling all the smells and holes. The property was large, extremely secure and had a shaded spot. We will definitely be making weekly trips to Pepper Road! Thank you so much for opening up your home and land to us dog owners with reactive dogs! You’re a life saver🥹Stephanie R.

55Great space, our shepherd Shane loved it. Easy access/parking and lots of room to roam around. Several areas to sit/hangout and water available too. Look forward to coming back.....Patrick L.

55The perfect spot for my dog-reactive dog! And a great spot for 1st-time Sniffspotters. The space was big enough to roam but not too big to feel overwhelming for a dog who is not used to the pleasures of roaming offleash. Scotty had such a good time that he barely noticed the one distant bark we heard while there and seemed almost ready to start herding the cattle he saw several fields over. Thank you, Nancy, for giving us this safe space to enjoy!Sara S.

55Huge open space with beautiful views. Stocked with tennis balls, water & poop bags for the dogs plus chairs for humans. Both sunny and shady areas to choose from.
Clear instructions on how to get there and swift communication from the owner when I had a question.
Highly recommend this spot for a dog that wants to get out and run free!Cindy C.

55We love this spot. It's fairly close to home, and the dogs just love the entire space. Easy to drive in, off load and on load dogs. Always seems super clean. Cathy P.

55This is a large space to keep up, but Nancy does an amazing job. She comes by most days, filling gopher holes to keep the space safe for our dogs. We love this Sniffspot! Book in advance for your favorite time. Penny L.

55Hard to imagine a more suitable spot for my three Anatolian Shepherds to romp, and for me to train them too. It was sunny and almost hot during our first visit in the late morning, but there was also ample shade to sit and chill. Water bowls and toys, tables and chairs are all available. I've already booked another visit.Bret M.

55It was so nice to find a safely fenced country acre for our two dogs to run and play. We will definitely be back! Our city dogs are worn out!Carolyn A.

FAQ about our Bodega Bay small dog parks
Are small 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 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 park users so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits are 5 stars.
How can I find small dog parks in Bodega Bay?
There are 27 small dog parks in the Bodega Bay area. The most popular small dog park is . You can browse all of our small dog parks here.
How do I know if a small dog park works for my dog?
Start by applying basic filters, such as fencing and distractions, to find a dog park that works for your furry friends. If your dog doesn't respond to owner commands, you can visit one of our enclosed dog park areas. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our small dog park sites where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can see any park amenities provided, including a park bench, water for dogs or water features such as kiddie pool or water hose. If your dog loves water, you can go to a park with water features, but if they don't love water, you can avoid them. We also recommend reading reviews to check for park maintenance issues and reaching out to the host with any questions. And lastly, of course, check park hours. Many of our parks are open from dawn until dusk.
What are the requirements to bring my dog to a Sniffspot park?
We require that all dogs have basic vaccinations or equivalent titers. We do not allow dogs with a bite history. We require that owners sign our waiver and agree to follow our safety rules. We also require that pet owners follow safety protocols around water features.
Will there be other dogs at the Sniffspot 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 small dog park party, each Sniffspot park has their own rules regarding special events. Many parks allow doggie birthday parties, training, water parties 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. Make sure the park has amenities you need for your party, such as a park with lots of picnic tables with park benches.
