55Pup Paradise was true to its name! Amazingly clean, tons of open space, secure gating, and great amenities for pups. I was so excited to leave a review because they truly deserve it. I’m not new to Sniffspot, so i’ve had my fair share in experiences and this by far was one of the best! My dog loves fresh grass and they had plenty of it. I always bring my pup her own water and toys, but it was great to see fresh water in a large bowl and toys available. Riley’s first time seeing chickens, and she did amazing. I would keep this in mind if your dog doesn’t do well with farm life. Riley’s still learning to be around other dogs, and we didn’t encounter one at all. Planning my next visit and even thinking of a subscription for this spot. Thank you for a great experience and opening up your space to us. Riley is tired, happy, and grateful for your yard!

55This was the best Sniffspot we have ever been to! Marcos and Crystal really set the space to accommodate dogs. Everything was so well thought out and the area was so clean and organized. They had a cabana with new couches, had cold water, and treats for the dogs.
They also supplied fresh water, a kiddie pool, a hose, and lots of areas to sit. The area itself was beautiful, filled with lots of trees and different plants for the dogs to explore.
The hosts were so nice and understanding. We will definitely book this space again! Thank you so much. Don M.

55This place exceeded my expectations. The space was incredibly clean and well-maintained, which made it a safe and fun environment for my dog to explore. You can really tell the hosts put a lot of thought and effort into making sure every detail is just right, from the setup to the cleanliness. The area was spacious, with plenty of room for my dog to run around and enjoy some off-leash time. There were even a few toys and water available, which was a nice touch. I felt completely at ease knowing my dog was in a secure, fenced-in space. Overall, it was a fantastic experience, and I highly recommend this Sniffspot to anyone looking for a safe and enjoyable place for their dog to play!Coleen S.

55Our first time using sniffspot and this spot is very clean and thoughtful. I will definitely come back more often since I have 3 crazy and active dogs. They had so much fun and very curious with the chickens coops. We rented for 2 hours and the first 45 mins my dogs already tired but it doesn’t stop them for having fun. Ruth N.

55This is probably my favorite SniffSpot we’ve visited! My dog felt like she was at the zoo with the hen house. The property is huge, so it can be hard to keep an eye on your dog if you have a troublemaker. The property is very clean and well-maintained. I would absolutely visit again! I wouldn’t recommend this property for a dog who is not good with hens. Moorea P.

55This is what you call dog paradise. We brought our five dogs and they had a blast. Our big dogs loved the automatic ball shooter and loved taking a dip in the puppy pool. The property was well maintained with lots of toys for the dogs. My furbabies couldn’t maintain their excitement. We purchased a toy from the toy chest that was for sale and I let them pick it out. We stayed under the gazebo while enjoying the puppies play and sipped on our complimentary water. Our doggies left tired and without energy, they have been sleeping since. Awesome pad that we will definitely visit again soon. Thank you Marcos and Crystal for you the great set up. The puppies thank you sooo much. Caroline K.

55Crystal and Marcos are generous and exceptional hosts and provided us all the amenities needed to ensure my dog and I had a wonderful day out! We spent 2 hours at this expansive and secure place - he had the best time running around, checking out the chickens and the whole spot. Look forward to being back again soon! Raajesh I.

She seems like a very competent trainer. Our dog is leaving pooped and happy! Will definitely be returning on a regular basis.Tali N.

55The house is beautiful. The yard is awesome. I didn’t pick any fruit but they do have huge fruit trees. Great space for dogs to run around I also brought my 4 year old son and he was running all over and I don’t know who enjoyed it more. :) I even met the owners of the home in passing they were also lovely.

BEAUTIFUL BACKYARD!!!
This spot was fenced all around, pretty secure and had lots for my dog to enjoy. My Rottweiler was smelling all trees/bushes/plants and running on the rocks/wood chips/stairs. There was also a clean bowl of water for her! She loved this spot and I would definitely come back :)Angie H.

FAQ about our El Cajon 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. 96% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the El Cajon 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 118 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 16 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.
Does El Cajon have any fully fenced dog parks?
