55This place is paradise. My dog had the best time ever. He spent the entire 2 hours playing like a maniac w sticks (yes they have a stick library 😆!), various ball toys, and swimming. He thoroughly enjoyed it and we did too. The host is wonderful, gives good instructions and does not interfere with visitors, which is great for my reactive doggo. I would give this Sniffspot 5 million stars! Rebecca C.

55Another great visit! I can't recommend this spot enough, especially this time of year when the foxtails are out in abundance. The lawn and garden are so well maintained. Not only did the dogs enjoy our visit, but I got to enjoy the beautiful roses in bloom. Thank you Karin for sharing your lovely garden. It's so nice to have a safe space for my little dogs.Angela R.

55A lovely yard and garden space for my puppy to run and play in. Sunny, clean and contained. We did not use the pool, but a nice feature for hot days. The hosts were very friendly and responsive to my messages. I will use this spot again.Fran F.

55We’re grateful for homeowners like John and Karin who have opened their backyards to be rented. This is a beautiful spot. Our 2 puppies had lots of space to sniff, explore, run and play. We would come back Angel L.

55Ainsley and I had a great time! Clean yard, dense grass, love the lemon tree. She loved rolling around in the grass and there were enough interesting spots around the yard for her to sniff. Neighbors had their kids playing outside next door but it didn’t bother us! Love the meditation area and the shrubbery. We definitely want to come back when the weather is warmer for the pool! Thanks for sharing your yard with us. Hannah C.

55The location had a nice, fully fenced flat space for my dogs to run and sticks and balls were appreciated.
One of my dogs is an escape artist so he fully checked out the perimeter and found no gaps. It is beautiful spot.Susan C.

55Great property for a dog play date! Our dogs loved running around on the lawn and exploring back behind the lemon tree. There is a long paved area that was great for fetch! Lots of quality sticks and fun things provided. Hannah C.

55What a wonderful spot to spend some time with the pups! I have a decent sized yard, but never underestimate the value of a new adventure to your dogs and your relationship with them! It’s a beautiful and peaceful space with lots of spots for exploration! Of course my dogs decided to potty in the garden and I had to climb in there to clean up so I apologize to the wonderful hosts for my trespassing. I tried to be very careful. This is a 45 minute drive from my house and was absolutely worth it! Thank you to the hosts for a great place to take my dogs to kickoff 2023!!!Dani B.

FAQ about our San Anselmo fully fenced dog parks
Are fully fenced dog parks 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.
