The Gulch Pool

Fully Fenced
0.17 acres

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! Please note, this spot is right next to our home, we too have dogs and they can be seen through our windows! If you would like to book more than 2 hours, please send us a message.

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!

2/3 Acre Fully Fenced Private Dog Agility field

Fully Fenced
0.5 acres

Our Sniffspot is located on a quiet dead end in the back of Montara, CA. It is fully fenced. It contains 2 fields, a lower and upper, both suitable for use. I will have agility courses set up a portion of the time. Please do not move equipment if there is a numbered course set up. You are free to use tunnels and jumps, but please be careful on the contact obstacles if they are set up. Please watch your dogs and do not allow them to mark the obstacles, tunnels, jumps or weave poles. If they do, can you kindly rinse with the watering can. Do not place any human items or treats on the dog walk. Do not rest or lean on the dog walk. It is an expensive piece of equipment, not a table. Note: there are chickens and horses next door at times, please do not allow your dogs to bark or charge the fence at them. Also, do not let your dogs repeatedly run up to the horses if they are near the fence, and potentially scare them. They are not as visible from the lower field. I have an older dog that sometimes barks from inside the house but she is not visible. Thanks for exploring our Sniffspot!

Joy Ridge Sanctuary with over 2 Acres of Redwoods and Gardens

Fully Fenced
2 acres

Welcome to our private oasis (we will not be home when you visit!) with over 2 fully fenced acres of redwoods and gardens in Occidental with a park-like setting. Dogs and their families can journey the meandering paths and trails to explore gardens, redwoods, seasonal fruit trees (you are welcome to try it) and endless relaxing areas with hammocks, benches, tables/chairs and even a covered outdoor bed. There is an indoor rustic lounge with sofa and table/chairs where we provide complimentary coffee/tea, water and treats for humans and dogs, dog toys/wipes/towels/blankets/waste bags, disposable rain ponchos for people and a covered outdoor patio with a sitting area to enjoy the redwoods. The bathroom is accessible from the main deck and has a sign on the door. Our redwoods sanctuary is perfect for celebrations, gatherings and private recharging in nature for dogs and their families. Only 15 min drive to dog friendly beaches, 10 min to 'Grove of Old Trees' (dog friendly) and to downtown in Occidental which is known for its shops, galleries and a famous dog friendly Howard Station Cafe. It's also an 8 min drive to 'St. Teresa of Avila Church' in Bodega where Alfred Hitchcock's film 'The Birds' was filmed. If you are visiting with little humans, please enjoy our outdoor toddler playground, swing set, an outdoor mud kitchen with kids' picnic table and a large sandbox with toys. There are also toys and books for kids in the lounge (under the coffee/tea bar table). If you have any questions, please reach out anytime so we can make your visit a wonderful experience! NOTE: If you see a block on the calendar and it's the only time you can visit, please feel free to reach out as we can move the blocks around on some days. HOT WEATHER INFORMATION Our sanctuary is high up along the forested ridge, which exposes it to fog and cooler offshore breezes. You can visit anytime of the day - the property is over 80% shaded and much cooler in hot weather due to a heavy redwood canopy that serves as a natural air conditioner. The temperature is 6-10F lower (depending on the fog and time of the day) than the weather forecast for Occidental. We also added a 'Splash Zone' under a 1000+ year old redwood tree for pups to enjoy.

55A sniffspot with a pool and HUGE lawn is a rare find in the bay. The pool is COLD, refreshing for a dip but couldn't swim much this time of year. My small dog kept me on my toes. He was so excited to explore every nook and cranny in between zoomies. I brought a blanket to sit in the shade. I'm glad I did because there isn't much seating. However, your dog will likely keep you busy playing with the toys for dogs of all sizes. I rented for two hours, I could have stayed much longer. Definitely a good find.

55Wonderful place to spend an afternoon. Blue had the time of his life. His tail was wagging and smiles galore. He spent the entire time swimming, which is his favorite thing to do, and a rare treat for him since he is not good with other animals or strangers and cannot go to shared spaces to swim. Blue was recently diagnosed with cancer so we want to give him as many chances to have fun outdoors as we can before he gets too sick to enjoy it. What a great place to do so! The host was very pleasant, communicative, (we did not cross paths as planned for safety), and the property was absolutely gorgeous. Love this place and hope to come back soon!

Neighbors had their kids playing outside next door but it didn’t bother us! Love the meditation area and the shrubbery. We definitely want to come back when the weather is warmer for the pool!

55We heard a few dog barks and some people talking, but every noise was so far that our reactive pup was comfortable the whole time. Thanks for sharing your yard with a struggling heeler family 💚

Frequently asked questions about Mill Valley small dog parks

What amenities do Mill Valley small dog parks typically include?

Mill Valley small dog parks feature amenities designed for appropriately-sized exercise: compact fenced areas, small-scale obstacles, and low-barrier entry gates, secure fencing options, water stations, waste disposal, and often extras like toys, shade structures, or parking. Unlike public parks with generic setups, Mill Valley hosts customize their spaces. Browse 153 listings to compare—from bare essentials to luxury amenities perfect for your dog's needs.

How much does it cost to use Mill Valley small dog parks?

How clean are private small dog parks in Mill Valley compared to public parks?

Significantly cleaner. Public dog parks in Mill Valley see dozens of dogs daily with sporadic city maintenance. Private small dog parks have dedicated hosts who maintain their own spaces—cleanliness directly affects their reviews and bookings. Many Mill Valley hosts provide fresh poop bags, sanitized water stations, and regular grounds cleaning. With only one booking at a time, waste accumulation is minimal.

Can I book Mill Valley small dog parks on short notice?

Usually yes! Many Mill Valley small dog parks offer same-day or next-day availability with instant booking. Unlike public parks that might be crowded unpredictably, Mill Valley private small dog parks let you reserve exactly when needed: early morning before work, midday breaks, evening exercise. Real-time availability shows on each listing—perfect for last-minute training or when routines get disrupted.

What's the best time to visit small dog parks in Mill Valley?

Any time works since bookings are private! Unlike public dog parks in Mill Valley that are crowded during peak hours (mornings, evenings, weekends), you don't worry about timing. Book when it fits YOUR schedule—midday when it's quiet, dawn for cool weather, late evening for convenience. Many Mill Valley small dog parks have lighting for after-dark visits. This flexibility is perfect for shift workers or dogs with special needs.

Do Mill Valley small dog parks allow multiple dogs?

Yes! Most Mill Valley small dog parks welcome multiple dogs from the same household. Some hosts set limits (check listings), but generally you can bring your whole pack. This is perfect for multi-dog households in Mill Valley where some dogs are selective—they can play together privately without outside interference. Great for sibling bonding or families with mixed ages/temperaments.

Can I use Mill Valley small dog parks for special events?

Many Mill Valley small dog parks welcome doggy birthday parties, training workshops, breed meetups, or group playdates. Private bookings mean your event won't be interrupted. Coordinate with Mill Valley hosts about capacity, amenities (parking, shade, water), and any restrictions. Some even provide party extras. Check individual Mill Valley small dog park listings for event policies.

How do Mill Valley small dog parks accommodate dogs with special needs?

Mill Valley small dog parks are excellent for special needs dogs because you can filter for specific requirements: flat terrain for mobility issues, secure fencing for blind/deaf dogs, quiet locations for anxious dogs, small spaces for seniors, or maximum privacy for reactive dogs. Read reviews from other Mill Valley special-needs dog owners, and contact hosts with questions. The private setting means you can adapt the experience to your dog's unique requirements.
