55Absolutely amazing! So many toys there for my pup and she was nice enough to leave some water bottles out for my boyfriend and I. There was a speaker that we were able to connect too. Overall 10/10! Will definitely come back 💓Sierra R.

55I visited this place with my two pups. They have fun sniffing around. I brought some of my pups’ toys but did not use them as there were plenty of toys here. Host was very friendly and helpful during our visit answering questions and even opening the gate door for us. Planning to be backD V.

55Great hosts and place! Super clean and had the necessities like toys, balls, and most importantly cold water and fans to cool down. We went later in the evening to give the weather a chance to cool down and though it did I know for our pups it can still be hot so I was happy to know that the hosts had cold water and fans. Great time and would definitely book again! Chris M.

55This is our first experience with a Sniff Spot.
Sniff Spot host had great communication. The host provided very clear instructions on how to enter to yard. Easy to find and easy to park.
Nice, clean, big open yard with a very nice patio set up with shade. Plenty of fresh water, toys for the dogs and cleaning supplies.
Excellent spot!
My dogs enjoyed there time very much. Helen A.

55This was my first time using SniffSpot, and me and my pup had a great time! The yard had plenty of space for my border collie to run and fetch, and the host provided chilled water and toys! Plenty of shade for me to stand in too while I threw the ball. Definitely coming back soon!Winter M.

55Hosts were communicative via messages. The space was clean and well-kept. The entrance was easy to access. Cold water, plenty of toys, and waste bags were provided for the dogs. The grass was also watered which helped our pups stay cool. There were a few areas of shade, hand sanitizer, bug repellent, and tissue. Would recommend!Cathy D.

55We had a great time at the Ward Bungalow. My dogs loved the wide open space to run freely and loved playing with the toys they provided. They put out lots of cold water for our dogs to help beat the heat! There was shade for us to sit. My dogs would definitely love to come back to the Ward Bungalow. Pam Jake Billie and LunaPam L.

55My pup and I love Ward bungalow!!! The hosts are very helpful and the yard is always stocked with fresh, cool water and toys! My pup loves to choose his favorite balls out of their toy box and knows as soon as he gets out of the car he’s at his favorite place! The yard is huge and there’s lots of space for him to run and run and run. We love it!! Plenty of shady space for humans to take a break and rest too. Hand sani, wipes, doggie bags, and bug spray too!!Winter M.

55Nice, clean space with great amenities. Host provided ice cold water just before our arrival, which was very thoughtful! My big furry girl really needed that on a hot day like today. We'll definitely go back for more playtime ❤️Pamela K.

55Ward Bungalow is a BEAUTIFUL and immaculate spot to hang with your furry friend. Our doberman mix puppy is chronically energetic, but having a huge space to let him run around in while we got to relax in luxury was a win-win! What’s even kinder is they have a great set up of toys, iced water, and a clean up station for both dogs and humans. It was easy to access and lovely to relax/play in. We can’t wait to bring our dog back!Carina A.

FAQ about our Fountain Valley 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.
