55Karin’s spot is gorgeous. Plenty of grass to sniff and roll in, beautiful views, roses to smell…Canyon had a wonderful time “zooming” and then just sitting in the fresh air. Next time I will buy up to include the pool for me :)Lauren C.

55This is a great spot! My boy is athletic and highly prey-driven, so finding a suitable sniff spot has been a challenge as he will scale most fences. That being said, I felt comfortable letting him do zoomies, roll around on their beautiful grass and check out all scents they had to offer. Karin is kind and replied to my questions regarding our visit very quickly. It's a 45 minute drive for us, but we will definitely be back! Ashley F.

Ashley's Fully Fenced Yard For Dogs To Rent In San Rafael | Sniffspot
55My dog and I had a wonderful time. Fully fenced large back yard to run around. Partially cement yard and the rest is grass / dirt. Lots of different areas to sit, even a hammock! The backyard has a covered area with a large table and chairs to sit at if it is raining or if you need some shade. We were happily surprised to see there was a basket of a variety of toys to play with and lots of dog treats waiting for us on the table and also some snacks and drinks for humans :). We will definitely be back. Sophia A.

FAQ about our San Anselmo 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.
