This was our first SniffSpot experience and it was a good one! There was plenty of shaded space for pup and humans. I saw a dog pool in the photos and got excited, but noticed you need to request it 24 hours in advance. My bad, but will certainly add this service in next time!

Super cute, large yard with great amenities and add ons! Not a lot of shade, but they have multiple covered areas and are working on growing trees. My dogs loved the pool! Definitely one of the nicest Sniffspots in Sac. Can’t wait for our next visit!

Thank you SO much Gina! We always love coming to your place. The welcome sign is always so sweet, and there’s always plenty of extra items for the pups. They love the water toys!

Our favorite spot! The patio misters are a lifesaver, so nice to relax in the shade while my dog sniffs around.

Wonderful open space! This Sniffspot was very clean and offered many amenities. Multiple water bowls were filled when we arrived, and the splash pad extra was set up and ready to go. There is snacks + water for you, and treats for your companion! There were also a lot of toys, bags + a pooper scooper, a bluetooth speaker, and plenty of comfy seating. Would definitely recommend! Thank you Gina and Jeff 🐾😁

Exactly as advertised. Our whippet had a great time playing with the toys, enjoying some delicious treats and relaxing in the morning sun. The place was clean, safe and inviting

Lovely spot for our dogs to chase each other and meet with our dog training. They are so attentive to detail and have everything a pup might need while at a sniff spot (toys, treats, poop bags, water bowls). We enjoyed our time here and will be back.

Thank you so much for providing such a great space for our pups to play in. They loved all the different areas to sniff and the variety of water bowls. The yard was very secure which gave this worried mom peace of mind.

Nice spot for ball chase! Not much shade in the morning but it looks like they are growing some trees. 😀. Probably decent shade under the awnings mid-day. Should have added on the misters since I chose the hottest day of the year.

Beautiful spot and a very kind host. It was too hot to play today but we had a nice time sniffing around and enjoying the misters on the patio.

The host made our first SniffSpot visit very easy and fun! Clear directions, and a great yard for the dogs to play in and for me to hang out

Great communication. Clear instructions. Easy access. And of course a great set up and space. It’s like a glamping/day camp for your dog. Totally recommend.

This was great! Owners were super responsive and communicative. The instructions to access were super clear. The sniff spot itself was great, with great amenities for humans and dogs. We couldn’t have asked for anything more!

This was a great, open space for our dog to run and be a dog without her reactive triggers. There was tons of activities, water bowls, toys, and treats. Aside from the burrs spread around the grass, everything was amazing and we’ll be back.

Great yard and amenities, especially for our nervous pup! My prior glowing review still stands! (This time of year just had to watch out for little prickly burrs, but that’s just the season)

Thor and Mia had a wonderful time! The yard is spacious and very clean. I love that they have water available everywhere for the dogs and they even provided poop bags. We will definitely be coming back. I’m so happy my dogs had a quiet place to run around and play ❤️. Thank you!

What a lovely spot for dogs and their humans! There is everything you need and then some: sun/shade, snacks, water, poop bags, toys, grass/patio, and even some agility hurdles. Completely private, safely fenced, and perfect for dogs that get anxious around other animals. It is also great for anxious humans: the owners provide tons of information both before and during your stay so you know exactly where to park and what you can do while inside the yard. The sign welcoming you is personalized which is a nice touch.
What other types of private dog parks are available?
Dog water parks
Many hosts have added water features like pools and/or are nearby lakes or rivers.
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.
