Quiet garden sanctuary in the city.

Fully Fenced
1 acre

A lot of vegetation and places to sit down, meditate, read a book, study, or have a picnic. Your pup will love to run and play in our one-acre garden. Picking fruit or vegetable etc. is off the limit. Drinking water for animals is provided in various containers throughout the property. Please do not turn on or use any water equipment on our property - we had some serious problems in the past because of this. Please clean up after your dog’s “business” - smile. That’s a serious and mandatory request. Poop bags are available in the plastic box with the other dog gear, but please bring your own backup supply just in case and do not leave the poop bags behind. BROWN garbage can is in the front of the house by the street for your convenience. Thank you! Woof woof! 🌸 Note: in the rainy season we might not change the water for dogs because it’s senseless. Please arrive always with your own supply of water - rain or shine - and if it’s raining you might like to wear rain boots as well. Have fun!

Welcome to our dog pool! Yup, that’s right, we designed this pool specifically for dogs!!!! We have 3 large benches that accommodate dogs of all sizes (some benches are more shallow/deeper than others), plus a step that goes all the way around the pool for dogs to walk on. In addition to that, we have a step in the deep end that makes it easy for the dogs to get in and out of the pool! We also have bubblers inside of the pool (the dogs go crazy over these) and then outside of the pool we have fountains that shoot into the pool! This is literally a dream pool for dogs and dog owners! The pool is surrounded by artificial turf and a gorgeous view! We can’t wait for you to check out our pool!

Frequently asked questions about Berkeley small dog parks

What types of small dog parks are available in Berkeley?

Berkeley has 161 small dog parks offers compact fenced areas, small-scale obstacles, and low-barrier entry gates. Whether you need a fully-fenced space for poor recall, a quiet location for a reactive dog, appropriate sizing for small breeds, gentle terrain for seniors, or specific amenities like water features or agility equipment, you'll find options in Berkeley. Filter by fencing, size, distractions, and amenities to match your needs.

When can I book small dog parks in Berkeley?

Berkeley small dog parks are available based on host scheduling—many operate dawn to dusk or even 24/7. Unlike public dog parks with rigid hours, you choose the exact time that works for you. Check individual Berkeley listings for specific availability. Flexible scheduling is especially helpful for dogs with specific needs: reactive dogs who do better during quieter times, working dog owners needing early/late slots, or seniors needing cooler morning hours.

How do I book a small dog park in Berkeley?

Browse 161 available small dog parks in Berkeley, select your preferred date and time, and reserve through Sniffspot. Most Berkeley locations offer instant booking. You'll receive confirmation, exact address, and entry instructions. The booking process takes just minutes—perfect when your dog needs exercise, whether that's a reactive dog requiring safe space, a puppy needing socialization, or an energetic dog burning off steam.

What's the most popular small dog park in Berkeley?

Just Barking around in Sebastopol is highly rated among Berkeley small dog parks, known for excellent amenities and positive reviews. However, the "best" spot depends on your dog's needs—reactive dogs might prioritize privacy and quiet, puppies might need secure fencing, seniors might want flat terrain, while active dogs might want maximum running space. Browse Berkeley listings to find your ideal match.

Can I use Berkeley small dog parks for training sessions?

Yes! Berkeley small dog parks are perfect for training because they're private and distraction-free. Work on recall, practice confidence building in appropriately-sized spaces, recall for toy breeds, or socialization with size-matched playmates, help reactive dogs build confidence, socialize puppies, or work on obedience—all without public dog park unpredictability. Many Berkeley professional trainers use these spaces for client sessions with all types of dogs.

Do Berkeley small dog parks accommodate multiple dogs?

Most Berkeley small dog parks welcome multiple dogs from the same household. Some hosts set limits (check listings for specifics). If you have several dogs—especially if some are reactive toward strange dogs or if you have mixed ages (puppies and seniors)—private small dog parks let them play together safely without outside interference or triggers.

What amenities do Berkeley small dog parks offer?

Berkeley small dog parks feature amenities like compact, appropriately-scaled fenced areas with low-gap gates, smaller obstacles, and spaces designed for toy breeds and small dogs. Many hosts provide extras: poop bags, water stations, toys, shaded seating, parking, even dog wash stations. Each Berkeley listing clearly shows what's available. Look for amenities matching your dog's needs: shade for heat-sensitive breeds, water for swimmers, agility for active dogs, or privacy features for anxious pets.

Are Berkeley small dog parks available year-round?

Many Berkeley hosts maintain their small dog parks throughout all seasons. Filter for covered or climate-controlled options if weather matters. Indoor small dog parks provide year-round access regardless of Berkeley weather conditions. Check individual listings for seasonal availability and policies.
