55Such an amazing spot!! My friend and I decided to test out a Sniffspot for the first time with my two dogs and we all had such a blast! The host is so sweet and had towels, bevs and snacks out for both the humans and doggos lolll 10/10 recommend and will be returning! 💕💕
55Backyard of my dreams. Room for the dogs run and countless spots for you to lounge. Owners even left cold drinks and treats for both you and dogs. Perfect visit!
55Sarah’s Sniffspot was a total lifesaver during this crazy SoCal heat wave!☀️🐶 Our fam had the best time cooling off in the pool and playing fetch in the yard. The backyard is a beautiful, spacious oasis and has lots of spots to sit and relax. Sarah is a gracious host and even provided refreshments for us. Roxy got to play fetch with some toys that were also there to play with too.💓🥹😍🙏🐕💕This is such a sweet spot for some much-needed pup play time! The pool was definitely a highlight so highly recommend spending the extra for pool cool down splash time!💦🐾 We had such a blast and can’t wait to come back! Five stars, Four paws from Roxy and three happy hearts from our little fam to this one furrrbulously paw-some place! What a gem; we’ll be back again soon! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🐾🐾💖💖💖Thank you Sarah!
55Another amazing visit! Zander absolutely LOVES this Sniffspot and gets so excited every time we come. 🐶💦 The property is beautiful, peaceful, private, and always so well maintained. The pool is such a treat, especially on a hot day, and Zander had an absolute blast swimming and exploring. Sarah is a wonderful host—always so welcoming, thoughtful, and communicative, and she makes sure everything is ready for us when we arrive. You can tell she genuinely cares about her guests (both human and four-legged 😊). It’s become one of our favorite places to spend time together, and we’re already looking forward to our next visit! ❤️🐾
55Amazing time!! Great pool and super welcoming host. We will definitely be back! Soon!!
55This was our second visit, and we loved it just as much! Onyx had a blast, and we loved all the thoughtful goodies. The space is always spotless, organized, and welcoming. Definitely one of our favorite Sniffspot spots! 🐾❤️
55Such a sweet time. Relaxing and fun for me and my pup! Will be back :)
55We had so much fun! Everything was clean and quiet when we arrived. Will definitely return :)
55We have been to several SniffSpot locations and Sarah’s is one of the best. 💖 Beautiful yard with plenty of space to run around. The pool takes the cake though. Bailey had such a great time swimming!! Sarah’s hospitality was awesome, too. Water bowl, poopie bags, doggie snacks and water bottle and people snacks were laid out when we arrived. Yard is private and felt like a much appreciated oasis. Thanks so much, Sarah!!
55Another pool day spent here. My dogs somehow had more fun this time than the last time. The host leaves out poop bags, towels, treats, and even treats for the humans. Thanks so much again, we will be back!

"This field is huge! My dogs had an amazing time running around and exploring 😍 There is shade under the trees, and the part that wasn't fenced in wasn't an issue for us. If your dogs don't have solid recall, stick to the fenced side. The whole place is so big, you shouldn't have a problem getting a good amount of walking/running in, without coming too close to the un-fenced side. I walked around for about 2 miles, and I'm guessing my dogs probably did twice that 😆 The host was nice and allowed extra time, because I took a wrong turn coming there and was late to my booked time. We will definitely be back."

The Artsy Dog Place 1 Acre Fully Fenced Private Dog Park In Southwest Escondido

Fully Fenced
1 acre

Picture this: you and your pup enjoying the shade of oak and pepper trees, exploring a gentle hillside, and taking in views of grapevines, mountains, and rooftops. Your dog can follow every interesting smell off leash while you relax and enjoy time outdoors together. Welcome to The Artsy Dog Place, our one-acre, fully fenced private dog park in Southwest Escondido. Enjoy a little countryside feeling, yet just about 5 minutes from the Rancho Parkway exit off I-15 and within easy reach of Rancho Bernardo, Lake Hodges, 4S Ranch, Peñasquitos, San Marcos, and Del Dios Highway. We started this park because dogs have always been part of our lives. We consider them family, just as you do! We’re blessed to have this space and wanted to share it with other dogs and their people. Since we opened, more than 3,100 dogs have visited, and our guests have helped make us one of the top spots in San Diego County! Your visits, kind words, and suggestions have taught us so much about what dogs enjoy and what their parents appreciate. We’ve made little changes along the way based on your feedback, and this place continues to grow with you. We want you to feel part of it. The dogs who visit regularly already have favorite trees, shady corners, and a special route they follow when they arrive. They walk through the gate knowing they’ve arrived at their outdoor home. This is their territory! We love that. What began as a space to run has become a little family of good people and happy dogs, with room for new friends. We love watching the dogs from far away. I always say they’re smiling as they run up the hill. We’re blessed to have this space to share, and we receive so much in return: each dog leaves a little of their good energy here—their “smiles,” their laughter, their joy. A little something for the humans, too Our new outdoor art studio is partially covered, with supplies available at no extra cost so you can paint a rock while your dog explores. Add it to our collection and leave a little piece of yourself here. You can also leave a message, signature, or drawing on our community shed. Passion fruit vines are beginning to grow around the art space, and we hope they’ll provide more shade next summer. We have a basic sink at the art studio. When you’re finished, please rinse and clean your brushes and leave them in water so they’re ready to be enjoyed again. There’s also a picnic table beneath our large oak tree. Bring a tablecloth, pack a picnic, and enjoy time with your pup nearby. Please leave all glass containers, bottles, and drinking glasses at home to help protect the paws that run, roll, and play here. You’ll find several places to sit and make yourself comfortable. Our covered pergola offers shade on sunny days and shelter from the rain. There’s a bench beneath the pepper tree and a swinging bench at the top of the property, where you can enjoy views of the mountains and surrounding landscape. You may find your own favorite corner, just as the dogs do! A natural place that changes with the seasons Our park follows Southern California’s seasons, from rainy, green days to warmer, drier months, with a little of everything in between. With the rains beginning, everything is looking green and lovely. During the warmer, drier months, the landscape becomes more golden. It’s all part of life here. This natural acre sits on a hillside, with uneven ground, patches of earth, fallen leaves, and plenty of interesting smells. We care for it while preserving the character of a natural—and sometimes wild—outdoor space where dogs can be dogs. Something very important to us: we do not use pesticides in the park. You may find the occasional ants, weeds, and other little bugs sharing the space. We manage weeds through regular hands-on work and natural methods, including vinegar or baking soda for certain tasks and clover to help crowd out weeds. It’s an ongoing process, and the landscape will change with the weather and all those busy paws. Ground squirrels and gophers live here too. We do our best to manage their activity and keep the entire acre safe, but new holes can appear between checks. Please wear flat, sturdy shoes with good traction, watch your step, and keep an eye on your dog. Let us know if you notice anything that needs attention. Please discourage digging. If your pup makes a hole, use the provided shovel to fill it before you leave so the next visitor has safer footing. Your own space to enjoy When you reserve the park, the enclosed dog park is private for you and the dogs in your booking. We understand how much having your own space can mean, especially for pups whose personalities call for a little more room to themselves. Our dogs are in their separate area on the other side of the property or, most likely, inside our house. You may see me across the property working in my tea herb garden or berry patch, or hanging out with my chickens. You may hear our chickens and roosters, though they’re far enough away that you won’t see them from the park. Our neighbors have horses, which you may occasionally hear. We have a privacy screen along the shared fence to help provide separation. Horses can be startled by a ball or Frisbee landing near their feet, so please keep toys within our park and aim your throws away from the horses and their fence. At the top of the property, please stay at least five feet from the neighbor’s fence. Our neighbors value their privacy, and respecting this boundary helps us keep The Artsy Dog Place open for everyone to enjoy. Thank you for helping us care for our neighbors and their animals, too. A quick rinse before heading home We have a hose for muddy paws or a quick rinse. Please use water only—no soap, shampoo, or full baths, as we don’t have suitable drainage for bathing products. Keep rinses brief, turn the water off completely, and return the hose when you’re done. Water is precious here, and every bit we save matters. During the rainy season, balls may get wet or muddy. If they’re too muddy, please leave them in the provided bucket, and we’ll take care of cleaning them. A little care from each of us One of the nicest things about this community is how we care for a place we all enjoy. Please pick up your dog’s poop and leave the park ready for the next family. It’s always lovely to arrive at a clean place, and a little care from each of us makes that possible. Poop bags are available by the entrance. Put filled bags in the designated green bin only; the blue bin is for cans and plastic bottles, and the black bin is for regular trash. Before you go, return toys and furniture to their places and gather your belongings. Please keep your dog leashed when entering and leaving, and stay within your reserved time so each family can enjoy a private visit. No smoking, alcohol, or glass containers allowed. Make yourselves at home Whether you’re visiting for the first time or your dog already knows exactly where they’re headed, we’re happy to share this place with you. Run, sniff, paint, have a picnic, or sit quietly under a tree together. Please keep sharing your ideas with us. Your feedback has helped shape this park, and we want to keep making it a place that feels good for dogs and the people who love them. Follow our little community on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/artsydogplace/ We’d love for you to share your photos and tag @artsydogplace so we can see them. Your pups, favorite corners, painted rocks, and picnic moments are all part of the story we’re creating together. ❤️🐾

You may find the occasional ants, weeds, and other little bugs sharing the space. We manage weeds through regular hands-on work and natural methods, including vinegar or baking soda for certain tasks and clover to help crowd out weeds. It’s an ongoing process, and the landscape will change with the weather and all those busy paws. Ground squirrels and gophers live here too. We do our best to manage their activity and keep the entire acre safe, but new holes can appear between checks. Please wear flat, sturdy shoes with good traction, watch your step, and keep an eye on your dog. Let us know if you notice anything that needs attention. Please discourage digging. If your pup makes a hole, use the provided shovel to fill it before you leave so the next visitor has safer footing. Your own space to enjoy When you reserve the park, the enclosed dog park is private for you and the dogs in your booking. We understand how much having your own space can mean, especially for pups whose personalities call for a little more room to themselves. Our dogs are in their separate area on the other side of the property or, most likely, inside our house. You may see me across the property working in my tea herb garden or berry patch, or hanging out with my chickens. You may hear our chickens and roosters, though they’re far enough away that you won’t see them from the park. Our neighbors have horses, which you may occasionally hear. We have a privacy screen along the shared fence to help provide separation. Horses can be startled by a ball or Frisbee landing near their feet, so please keep toys within our park and aim your throws away from the horses and their fence. At the top of the property, please stay at least five feet from the neighbor’s fence. Our neighbors value their privacy, and respecting this boundary helps us keep The Artsy Dog Place open for everyone to enjoy. Thank you for helping us care for our neighbors and their animals, too. A quick rinse before heading home We have a hose for muddy paws or a quick rinse. Please use water only—no soap, shampoo, or full baths, as we don’t have suitable drainage for bathing products. Keep rinses brief, turn the water off completely, and return the hose when you’re done. Water is precious here, and every bit we save matters. During the rainy season, balls may get wet or muddy. If they’re too muddy, please leave them in the provided bucket, and we’ll take care of cleaning them. A little care from each of us One of the nicest things about this community is how we care for a place we all enjoy. Please pick up your dog’s poop and leave the park ready for the next family. It’s always lovely to arrive at a clean place, and a little care from each of us makes that possible. Poop bags are available by the entrance. Put filled bags in the designated green bin only; the blue bin is for cans and plastic bottles, and the black bin is for regular trash. Before you go, return toys and furniture to their places and gather your belongings. Please keep your dog leashed when entering and leaving, and stay within your reserved time so each family can enjoy a private visit. No smoking, alcohol, or glass containers allowed. Make yourselves at home Whether you’re visiting for the first time or your dog already knows exactly where they’re headed, we’re happy to share this place with you. Run, sniff, paint, have a picnic, or sit quietly under a tree together. Please keep sharing your ideas with us. Your feedback has helped shape this park, and we want to keep making it a place that feels good for dogs and the people who love them. Follow our little community on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/artsydogplace/ We’d love for you to share your photos and tag @artsydogplace so we can see them. Your pups, favorite corners, painted rocks, and picnic moments are all part of the story we’re creating together. ❤️🐾
