55Great space for ball tosses and sniff exploring for my two dogs. Nice green grass and a huge shade tree at the upper end of the property. Be aware it’s not really fenced on two sides. A brief visit from a loose neighbor dog, but he was friendly enough and the owners put him up while we were there. Kristina met us and was very sweet. Mandy B.

55We had a great time exploring this space today! Kristina was so kind and accommodating and made sure we were comfortable. The space itself is not fully fenced as advertised, but I kept my dog on a long leash because he doesn’t have great recall.
Over all the space is very beautiful and has nice serene views. There is soft grass/ground and the ground is moderately slopped. My dog had fun sniffing the barn and the ground! We were both intrigued by the horses next door and had fun observing them.
**Btw, I have a reactive dog so I confirmed with Kristina about whether the neighboring dog would be around and she said that the dog would not be home this weekend. We had no issues with this. **Yasmine J.

55Beautiful property! Well kept, with a convenient little deck (part of the barn). There is a sink and soap, protection from the elements, etc. Really all you could ask for. Lots of space for our handsome boy to run free - easy to get to, and a treat for pawrents as well (sat down and read a book while my pup was doing his thing).
Kristina mentioned that they do plan on completing the fencing around the entire property (which is great), but even as is, I felt quite safe and secure with the current fencing.
The host (Kristina) is incredibly friendly and helpful. She was kind enough to meet us out front to help guide us to the Sniffspot as it was our first visit (thanks Kristina!). Will definitely visit again soon, perhaps with both our pups next time :).Shahryar (Shawn) N.

55I am so happy to have found Kristina’s wonderful back 40 for my pup River to burn off some steam. I loved that it was a slope which made River work harder for his chuckit. There’s a nice old stable building with water and a trash can. There’s plenty of sun and shade. I will definitely be back , River didn’t want to leave.
Thank you Kristina for hosting your beautiful field for lucky dogsCarolyn B.

55super big and open— my puppers enjoyed it! Kristina, is very communicative and was quick to respond, thank you! I will however say beware, i brought my little sedan and it’s a little lower than the normal and i struggled a little bit, so bring a higher car or you can access via the paved road right next to it.

55Beautiful huge Meadow on a big slope. As described, it is unfenced on a few sides, but the area is remote and we didn't see another animal, person or car, the whole time we were there.
The host was wonderful, communicative, and gave all of the detailed information we needed. Even reminded us about the fact that it was unfenced, and that it would be muddy. That said, it was ideal for my dog, who loved the long grass.
There is a water faucet, some hand sanitizer, and extra bags as needed, along with the trash can for waste bags. Just exploring, my dog could have been there for hours. We look forward to coming back!K G.

55Great spot! Lots of room to explore. It is very open so I had to leash my dog, who wanted to wander more than I expected. It wasn’t too muddy after the rains but the grass was long and wet. Kristina was kind and helpful about where to park, when I got confused. Kelley K.

55As always, a wonderful time. The wading pool was a blast for my Lola. This is Foxtail season so be careful. I didn't have any issues with Lola but her friend was covered. It's just part of a California summer, make sure you check your pups carefully.Amanda B.

55I hesitate to write regarding this place because I don’t want anyone else to know about this complete and utter gem. It is absolutely perfect. My senior dog just became so happy so relaxed and had such a wonderful time. I didn’t want to leave and neither did he. This place is perfect if you want a peace and quiet with a huge expensive place for your dog to sniff and run and climb And just be a dog. I cannot recommend this highly enough. It’s truly wonderful!Nora D.

55My dog selective husky has a fabulous time here. Whether it’s running around nose to ground on the hunt, or ears back, sprints up and down and all around the hillside, she is stimulated, exercised and ready to snooze the rest of the morning after an hour at this wonderfully maintained SniffSpot. Owners are very friendly and passionate about pups, too.Kathleen S.

55What a great dog space!!! Clean, and shade even in the hottest part of the day. The kiddie pool was a surprise hit with my Mal. The Husky was fascinated with the neighbors chickens. Kristie is a real animal lover who is very generous to share this space with us. You will be really happy with this one. We will be back here every time we drive North.Sharon K.

FAQ about our Pacific Grove 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. 97% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Pacific Grove 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 20 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 4 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.
