55Kiki was so annoying I had to book a last minute Sniffspot just to get her some exercise. Wasn’t expecting to find much so close to home but this was the perfect yard for us! Kiki especially liked having a couple of bushes to go hide under after running around a bunch. Jamie T.

55This spot is amazing! Really high fences and plenty of room for my pup to run around and play :) there were also lots of toys which made it heaven for Buffy! Entry was super easy and everything was really secure. It was so nice to let her zoom around and not worry about her finding trouble (like she usually does haha). Thanks so much!! Marla N.

55Such a cute yard with some dog toys and even a kiddie pool for hot days! Just off I84 centrally located in a quiet neighborhood. My reactive pup couldn't deal with the neighbor dogs but she's *very* sensitive. I'm sure it's no problem for most! Thanks again Meredith!Laura K.

55Another great visit. This spot is perfect in the heat. The yard is shaded by the trees which helps out during the summer heat waves. Also, the owner has supplied a kiddie pool is your want your doggies to frolic in the water and stay cooler! Great spot!Edward H.

55Decent sized backyard with a kiddie pool and lots of toys. It’s mostly shaded which helped with the heat. The yard is more dirt than grass but my dog loved it and there’s lots of stuff to sniff and explore. Lacee C.

55Was first time using sniffspot and was a great experience! We went early to beat the heat and it was shaded and pup had a great time. The neighbors dogs bark a bit so hope we didn't disturb anyone and if your dog gets stressed about barking just something to think about! Rachel L.

55Good instructions, easy self entry, shady spot with water access and several toys. Plenty of room to run around, the area is mostly dirt instead of grass. Nice place for pups!Ruth J.

55This was our first time using SniffSpot and our puppy Lulu loved it!! Next time we will bring small tennis balls for her because there were only a couple small balls but she made due and ran her little heart out!Emily G.

55Great little private spot to bring my small 15lb foster dog. 2 cats and a human were within view through a glass door, but totally out of reach. While probably not an ideal situation for a reactive dog to see this, I found it to be an awesome way for this shy little guy to test his bravery and curiosity around new people/animals. Will definitely be back with my next foster!Nat M.

55In the summer time this is all dirt and dust but my dog loved it! He played fetch the whole time and found lots of little corners of the yard to sniff and take a break. We came in the morning and it was nice and cool but I imagine in the heat of day there would be lots of shade. Thank you so much for a great time!Lisa W.

55Nice space! Plenty of room for running and exploring. FYI there are some dogs that bark next door and sometimes a visible cat by the back door in case that doesn't work for your dog.Aleksandra D.

55Our rescue, Bruce, LOVES this space so much. It's shaded and they have some tennis balls out so pups can play. They also have a water dish near the hose so he can rehydrate while he's running all over the place. The neighbors do have dogs, but every time we arrive and they start barking they immediately bring in their dogs - super thoughtful and never an issue. This Sniff Spot has risen to the top of my list - I absolutely love it!Jenn C.

55This was a great space with lots of things to sniff and a nice amount of room to run. There is a significant gap underneath an AC unit and the fence behind, so small-medium dogs should stay leashed. Carlee B.

55As others have mentioned, be prepared for muddy conditions. I didn’t mind and neither did Eike! The instructions are straightforward and accurate to get in. There are loads of toys scattered about and a bowl to fill with water. We heard the neighbor dogs barking but they only did so for a few minutes. Great inner city location for a quick romp.Katrina D.

FAQ about our Portland fully fenced dog parks
Are fully fenced dog parks safe?
While public dog parks have a number of safety issues, such as aggressive dogs, inattentive owners, disease transmission and general cleanliness, Sniffspot dog parks are much safer than public dog parks. Human and animal safety is our #1 focus. Without a private option, many dog owners are relegated to using athletic fields or tennis courts for their dogs, which are not private or safe. 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. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits are 5 stars. And with fully fenced Sniffspot parks, you can get the safety of a fenced-in space for dogs, while still having plenty of space to run.
How can I find fully fenced dog parks in Portland?

How do I know if a fully fenced dog park works for my dog?
Many people looking for fully fenced parks have dogs that are not good with voice control. Start by applying basic filters, such as fences height and distractions, to find a dog park that works for your dog. You can see attributes of fences such as height, gaps and fencing type to find the perfect fenced-in space for dogs. You can filter by size to make sure you have plenty of space, or a smaller space if you prefer a neighborhood park. You can browse on a map by park location to find one in your city or near your city. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our off-leash areas where there are no dogs audible or visible near the space. Make sure to review the amenities of the spot to check features you want for your activity, such as fresh water, trail features such as soft trails or walking trails, or even water fountains. If you prefer wood chips, many of our parks have wood chips or indoor space if you prefer a beautiful park building.
What are the requirements to bring my dog to a Sniffspot fully fenced dog park?
We require that all dogs have basic vaccinations or equivalent titers. We do not permit use by pregnant dogs and we do not permit dogs with a bite history. We require that guests sign our waiver and agree to follow our safety rules, such as staying within the designated off-leash areas. Each park location also has their own set of rules that guests need to follow, such as limiting excessive barking.
Will there be other dogs at the Sniffspot fully fenced dog park at the same time as me?
Sniffspot only allows one booking at a time and any host dogs are required to be kept away from the spot during visits. We also enforce 30 min time buffers between bookings.
