55This place is really cute! But definitely not for anxious or reactive dogs. There is a tenant that lives about 10ft from the fenced area for the pups, and they have large windows. The tenants came and went multiple times, and since these folks were only 10ft away from my anxious pup he got super scared. Also, there are neighbors on both sides with tall back porches that look over the sniffspot. These folks will also be audible and visible to your pups. This spot is really cute and has lots of toys, but I definitely would not recommend for anxious or reactive pups. Oliver D.

55Amazing host and yard! Had my wedding proposal here and the host went out of her way to clean the yard for our slot. Yard was beautiful with the trees and the dogs had a great time. Will be back soon! Jason C.

55Great little spot for my dogs to sniff and safely roam. We live in this city and it’s hard to find safe off leash places, so this is perfect for us. Owner of the spot is responsive and sweet. The area is small, but that was expected based on their posting. my dogs loved it and we will be back! Anna N.

55Well enclosed area. Water bowl and tennis ball for play. Easy to find. Off street parking. Space small, but lots to sniff for our pup. Good yard for our family dogs' first offleash experience. Pooper scooper and pail available.Cindy M.

55We didn’t know that the sniffspot only includes the main yard, so just be sure to only let your dog off leash once they’re past the second gate :)Miriam Y.

55Terrific yard with ample yard space to run and kindly hosts who are fellow dog owners. Comfy places to sit for humans, as well as plenty of water and toys for the pups. Fully fenced yard was secure. Nicely landscaped yard too so it was nice for us to sit and relax while our dogs had a grand time chasing one another to their hearts’ delight. We’ll definitely be back soon!Dori G.

55Anne's yard is kept very nicely. She had fresh water in a bowl for my dog, and was welcoming and friendly. My dog loves to sniff around, and there was plenty of different nooks and crannies for her to explore. Will be back for sure.JoAnne Y.

55The host Anne was very accommodating of my dog’s needs and made sure that her dogs weren’t visible from inside the house since my dog is reactive. The yard was secure on all sides and there was a water bowl with a hose for water. Thank you!Alison C.

55There is street parking available, and James greeted us when we arrived. The yard was spacious with lots of things to smell for our dog, and our dog loved playing with our host. Water was available for the dog and lots of shaded seating for myself. Would definitely recommend! The host does have a dog, but their dog stays indoors while we were there.Eumin L.

Fully Fenced Yard For Dogs To Rent In Alameda - Harbor Bay | Sniffspot
55I live in a place with no backyard area for my medium size dog to roam off leash. He is a very energetic dog and although he is super friendly, we hesitate to take him to dog parks. Having the opportunity through Sniffspot to have him wander and play off leash is amazing.
This location is a large spacious place to play ball/fetch with your dog. The area is all concrete, which works well for us. We just needed a secure fenced in area where our dog couldn’t bolt but could be off leash. He explored the area a little and played catch with a ball for a bit.
The host was very nice and provided us with a few balls and a water bowl. There are several places to sit, if needed.Selina M.

Bonnie's retreat, fenced yard for your fur babies In Alameda | Sniffspot
55This place was perfect for my two dogs; I am unable to take them to dog parks due to their terrible reactivity and don’t have a yard for their own. This was a perfect place for them to finally relax and be able to play without me being stressed. The space was all grass, in a very quiet neighborhood and we did not see or hear any other dogs. Overall, I will 1000% be bringing them back!Yesenia J.

55Super convenient, easy, quiet Sniffspot. It’s a nice size yard for some easy fetch and a little recall training (if your dog doesn’t automatically follow you everywhere). Host kindly left us water and a bunch of tennis balls and treats. Sarah H.

FAQ About Alameda 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. 1% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Alameda 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 238 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 350 off leash areas where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby.
