55Powder had the BEST time. He'd never used a splash pad and enjoyed it. Communication was excellent. The yard was really nice. I did hear other dogs, but Powder is deaf so no big deal to us. He could, however, smell them. That's just part of having a deafy, though. We'll definitely be back soon. Thank you! Kristi D.

55This was my first time using Sniffspot and I was definitely impressed! The space was very clean and well organized. The dogs enjoyed their time running and sniffing all of the things. There was a good amount of shade to get out of the heat as well. Would definitely come back!A M.

55Great spot! Tons of balls, toys, water bowls, seating, corners to explore, and general enrichment. The area was well maintained, fence was very secure, and we LOVED having the irrigated grass, especially during the summer time when everything is normally dead and dry. I also really appreciated that there were so many shaded areas so the spot is enjoyed even if it’s midday sun. Didn’t see any foxtails which was even better. Parking was easy peasy in the residential area and the view was gorgeous. We will definitely be back! Katie K.

55Took my pup Apollo along with my friend’s dogs, Arlo and Harley, for a two-hour visit and they absolutely loved it! The space was clean, safe, and perfect for letting them run around and play. The splash pad was a hit, and they had the best time exploring. Definitely will be back — such a great spot for the pups to get their energy out! Andrea O.

Mercedes's Fully Fenced Yard For Dogs To Rent In San Diego | Sniffspot
55The yard is secure and a good size. Mercedes left a towel, some treats and a life jacket for our pup out. The water was a good temperature which was important since it was a bit of a chilly day :) I love that we got to use the hose to wash off the chlorine bc my dog is elderly and very large so it’s hard to give him a bath after going swimming. Overall, we had a fun time and would recommend this spot for a quick little swim. Thank you!Jenny M.

55Absolutely loved our visit here! The space is so well-designed—with thoughtful details that make it a dream for both dogs and their humans. There's an optional dog-friendly splash pool and dog wash(totally worth the extra fees), Bluetooth speakers, shaded areas to relax, and tons of interesting scents and textures for pups to explore. I had avoided coming for a while thinking it would be dusty, but I was pleasantly surprised—unlike dog parks with lots of paws kicking up dirt, this place stays clean and enjoyable. We cannot wait to be back. Highly recommend!

55Our dogs absolutely loved visiting! Our dogs have opposite interests and personalities, and they both found things that they absolutely loved. Such a wide range of activities from fetch and tug, bathing in the pool, climbing the park, and more! This host has really thought of everything. There were speakers, misters, towels, a poop scoop, and everything else we could possibly need. So grateful for places like this to let our reactive apartment dogs go crazy. Will definitely be back!

FAQ About San Diego 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.
