45I had no issues at this spot, it was just fine. However I’m giving it 4 stars as I thought it was a bit overpriced for what it was (could be a little cleaner/nicer) and also because my dog just didn’t love it. I think he got spooked by the pool cleaner occasionally spraying water in the air and actually asked to leave! However, if I had a few dogs who just loved the pool and jumped in and swam the whole hour I’m sure I’d feel differently. It was still fine, a nice chill hour spent sunbathing.
55The pool was great, my dog spent the whole time jumping in after her ball, climbing out and doing it all over again! It was a wonderful place to spend a hot afternoon.
55Great place. Clean and well maintained
55Beautiful pristine house. Not one leaf in the pool. It was like a private sanctuary. I really appreciated the signs posted. I recently went to another sniffspot and was completely lost but didn't want to disturb the owner. $40 a visit is kinda crazy but it's a nice splurge once and a while
55Such a lovely place. Our dog very much enjoyed playing in the pool. Very clean, dog safe, and a great spot to spend the afternoon. Thanks for having us!
55Absolutely gorgeous spot! And so fun for our pup! Even though she didn’t get in the pool, she loved chasing the tennis ball around it & all the new sniffs! Comfy seating in the sun or shade with tons of butterflies!
55We had a wonderful time! Beautiful, quant, clean yard and even a hose for rinsing off :)
55Nice pool. My dogs loved it.
55Great spot! Easy to find and access, and everything was very clean and tidy. My dogs had a blast, especially my water loving dog. We'll be back for sure!
55Absolutely wonderful spot. Fun, clean and looks exactly like the pictures.

You and your pups are all welcome to use the pool but be forewarned, it is not heated and very chilly until warmed by the summer heat. Some dogs can't resist a pool. Please encourage them to do so with your careful supervision. Call dogs out of the pool at any sign of cold or distress, including shivering, coughing, or submerging. There is no bathroom available for humans. Dogs can use the yard, of course. Please clean up after them with bags provided, and dispose of all waste in the gray tote outside the gate.

We love hanging out in the yard and around the pool with our friends and all of our dogs. I'm excited to make this space available for other folks and their dogs to use when we're not. The pool does not get warm until the summer, as it is heated only with a solar bubble cover. In the winter and spring months, it is very chilly, too cold for most people to swim in. Doggies who love to swim don't tend to mind, but please do keep an eye out for shivering; if they're shivering, they need to come out, get dried off, and get warmed up. Humans who know how to swim are welcome to use the pool. There is no lifeguard on duty.

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.

A beautiful fenced-in 3+ acre parcel with hills, a few trees, areas with short and tall grass. Dogs absolutely love it here. Occasionally we’ll see wild turkeys and a few deer (and a gopher or squirrel here and there) but otherwise it is a dog roaming paradise. Easy to pull in and park on the gravel area. I have dog bowls, a few toys, 3 pooper scoopers, emergency poop bags, and a couple of washing stations. Cell reception is reasonably good here.
