Rent the best private dog parks hosted by locals in Santa Cruz, California

Beautiful 2 acres, sloping hillside leading to a lush pasture meadow. Peaceful and secluded, plenty of shade and also large sunny areas. Fresh waters available at all times. Fully fenced with 6 ft chain link, easy access and property hosts always on site

Fully fenced, hilltop yard. Almost 2 acres of fully fenced yard. Various terrain. Oaks and other trees and grass. Beautiful views of the bay. Tucked into the Rachno San Antonio Preserve.

We are on 10 acres and would love to share our yard with you. Beautiful Mountain View’s amongst grape vines with gravel pathways. On the interior portion of the park is a dirtbike track with a more rugged terrain and incline walking. Definitely more weeds, but if you are looking for a more off road feeling this is another option aside from the full pathway around the perimeter of the dirtbike track. This time of year the grapevines are a beautiful with lots of beautiful green foliage. We do also have a cool off spot in the front of the house under a very large old pine tree with roses to smell while your dog has their belly on the cool green grass by their water bowl in the shade. Where your new morning or afternoon ritual begins. Please note: Price is up to (2) dogs, not per dog.

Welcome to the most centrally located, easy-to-get-to spot in Los Altos Hills on the corner of La Paloma and W Fremont Rd & 2 mins away from downtown Los Altos. We just started Sniffspot and we’re loving it, and we hope you love our spot too! **We had one bad review on April 30th about a weed problem, NOT FOXTAIL, that’s since been resolved. We got rid of all the weeds that were inaccessible. They were accessing an inaccessible area that we now made accessible and posted numerous photos of weeds, NOT FOXTAILS, while claiming there are foxtails. The review is mistaken; there are zero foxtails. We DO NOT use pesticides or herbicides, hence the 1 or 2 weeds that sometimes get leftover and are hard to spot** Our yard is 100% fox-tail and thistle free (even in inaccessible areas like behind our beautiful oak tree). About the space: - Sprinklers turn on once a week for optimum grass health. - Multiple water bowls and a hose available. - Multiple seating options for large groups of people. - Toys available for your doggos - Hand sanitizer, poop bag dispenser, bin, pooper scoopers, and dog treats coming shortly

**APRIL 2024 UPDATE: our fully-fenced dog park is now open. The lower pasture (approx. 1/4 acre) is fully fenced and provides a relatively flat area for you and your dog to enjoy. We have water access in this area, too. Additionally, guests can enjoy the adjacent hillside which is partially-fenced. You are welcome to enjoy this off-leash or, if you're more comfortable, take a little stroll through the grass. Our property is pretty much full sun. If you visit midday/afternoon, be prepared for heat as the weather warms up. We have planted some trees but they are still quite small.

- Ample off street parking - 1.5 acres fully fenced - Please note the price of booking for a dog includes 2 adults, any additional dog includes 1 additional adult at no extra charge. We welcome dogs' birthday parties and dogs' play dates at our spot. If you would like to share the spot with friends, please select the correct number of additional adults in the EXTRAS. The maximum number of adults at our spot is 10. Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions.

Large open wooded area between two homes (both of which are our homes) which connects to a lower meadow area.

Hello! We’re just getting started hosting with Sniffspot and are excited to host you! Please let us know what we can do to improve the space. A past guest let us know we needed better signage, so we got a bright blue sign printed and hung it on the fenced area. Another guest mistook the community garden (incompletely fenced) for the play area (completely fenced). If you see vegetables, the area is not completely fenced! You're welcome to explore, just be respectful of the gardeners and plants please. The avocado tree overhanging the play area is dropping fruit right now, so if your dog likes to eat random stuff on the ground please be careful! The play area is tucked between St Stephen’s in-the-Field Episcopal Church and the left hand fence (turn from Santa Teresa Blvd onto Avenida España, then take the first right and head to the back). There are two churches on the lot, ours is at the back, with ample off street parking and lots of gardens to explore, in addition to the enclosed play space. Feel free to message with any questions!

Welcome to our little farm! We are currently closed for the season; we're hoping to do some big projects in our garden, and therefore need to minimize foot and paw traffic 😔 I've scheduled to reopen in April, 2024. Check this page because we've got some exciting plans in store! ❣️ Your dog will love the large backyard with the hill that's perfect for loping up and down and sniffing all the exciting smells that come with country living- so many gophers, birds, and even deer make their appearance from time to time. We have goats, chickens and ducks in the pasture that backs up to the fenced yard, so your dog will get a lot of new experiences. You can relax on our deck listening to the fountain while your dog explores. I recommend this space for large dogs as there are some gaps in one of our gates; our Frenchie who crossed the rainbow bridge couldn't get through, but a more wily and writhe canine might be able to. We have a sweet and docile Great Pyrenees named Bosco who is not reactive, but if you prefer your dog to not have company, Bosco can hang out in the house or in his kennel. We're on a well, so we don't water the lawn in the summer to conserve water, so it can get a little dusty, but we do keep things mowed and trimmed. Our garden and yard is a work in progress- I'm currently focusing on adding drought tolerant native plants to work with my favorite blooms. There will be small changes in our retreat every time you visit (at least, that's my goal 😂) We hope your dog loves our Sniffspot!

A great place to practice training, socialize a young puppy, or play rough.

There is a quite place with a big lot. You can see in the pictures.

Private 7’ fenced yard with turf. Large area for zoomies. We have a large rain/sun umbrella upon request.

Welcome to the backyard of fun! There is plenty of space for little, medium and big dogs to run and play. There is lots of seating for all the dogs humans. You pup will have a blast and love playing in this large, magical, fenced in backyard

Perfect fenced oasis in Royal Oaks for pups that need a play boundary.

Welcome! Please enter backyard from metal gate left of the house. Have a wonderful Paw Day🐾😊.
