There are 3 wide steps where dogs can easily enter, rest, or leave the pool. -Dog life jackets in XS/S/M/L sizes, pool toys, and treats available. -Solar-heated by the sun through solar panels, so water temperature depends on sunshine and weather (not a jacuzzi or gas-heated pool).

Each additional dog includes 1 guest free. -Extra guests: $15/person/hour. If you are bringing more guests, you can select in the EXTRA section when booking. -For safety reasons, children under 16 are not allowed. -Bringing 4+ dogs or hosting a doggy party?

Kristyn's Peaceful Bird Oasis & Sanctuary- Fully Fenced Yard For Dogs To Rent- Almaden Valley- South San Jose

Fully Fenced
0.43 acres

My home is in South San Jose and a beautiful safe and quiet neighborhood in Almaden Valley. We live on a quiet cul-de-sac and our house faces a creek with a wonderful walking trail that is dog friendly. There are plenty of nearby parks for hiking or walking right outside my door or a short 5 minute drive from our house. I currently do not have a dog but I did so my backyard is set up for dogs with newer artificial turf and 2 lawn areas. Please note I do have two indoor cats, which should not be a problem unless your dog is not a fan of cats and will get reactive. Please message me preferably a day ahead of time or at least hours ahead of time so that I can prepare and make sure that the back three sliders have the blinds and shutters closed at least at dog eye level.😊 I want everyone to enjoy their experience especially the dogs, and I don’t want my cats scared to death either! I cannot guarantee you that they won’t necessarily try to peek out and see why there are dogs in their yard because they are cats after all, but for the most part they will cooperate. This works out fairly well from what I’ve experienced and seen. We ask that you please not let your dog scratch or dig on the turf as that could damage them. I have multiple safe watering vessels for birds and dogs. There is no pesticides used in my yard or harmful chemicals. I have an organic home garden. The same thing goes with the garden so please make sure your dogs do not get into it as I have put a lot of time, love, sweat and labor to have a thriving garden. I have a large patio set with a new large umbrella and 6 chairs that you are welcome to use and sit at. There are water bowls and two hoses and water to refill any water bowls at opposite ends of the yard. We just ask that you are responsible and respectful with our things and our property and home. We recently remodeled and one of the upgrades and renovations was putting in the artificial lawns. Please pick up after your dogs and yourself and you may use our garbage/recycling cans on the side of the house to dispose of waste and any trash. We allow up to 2 people per visit with your dog/s. We understand that you may have a child or a partner present with you and that is more than fine. However, if it is going to be more than 2 of you we just ask for a nominal $5 per extra person up to a max of 4-6 people total. I have provided an “extra” for just this situation. We hope that you will understand and think that this is fair enough. If there are any special instructions or information that we should know about yourselves or your dog or dogs please message me when you do make a booking. Also, if there is going to be more than two of you at the booking, please make sure that you do include the extra cost for the amount of people that will be coming along with you in case you are bringing friends or other family members. We would appreciate knowing how many people and how many dogs will be with you so that we can plan accordingly. Thank you.🙏😊

2/3 Acre Fully Fenced Private Dog Agility field

Fully Fenced
0.5 acres

Our Sniffspot is located on a quiet dead end in the back of Montara, CA. It is fully fenced. It contains 2 fields, a lower and upper, both suitable for use. I will have agility courses set up a portion of the time. Please do not move equipment if there is a numbered course set up. You are free to use tunnels and jumps, but please be careful on the contact obstacles if they are set up. Please watch your dogs and do not allow them to mark the obstacles, tunnels, jumps or weave poles. If they do, can you kindly rinse with the watering can. Do not place any human items or treats on the dog walk. Do not rest or lean on the dog walk. It is an expensive piece of equipment, not a table. Note: there are chickens and horses next door at times, please do not allow your dogs to bark or charge the fence at them. Also, do not let your dogs repeatedly run up to the horses if they are near the fence, and potentially scare them. They are not as visible from the lower field. I have an older dog that sometimes barks from inside the house but she is not visible. Thanks for exploring our Sniffspot!

Last mowing day: June 3, 2026 SUMMER: Recommend AM visits before 10am or evening after 5pm. Our spot is full sun with very limited shade. We are trying to eliminate the foxtails but we have a large property and cannot guarantee we get all of them. We are pesticide-free so all removal is done by hand/tractor. **Horses visible in adjacent property occasionally Additionally, guests can enjoy the adjacent hillside which is partially-fenced. You are welcome to enjoy this off-leash or, if you're more comfortable, take a little stroll through the grass. NOTE: There may be foxtails and ticks in this area.

Private swimming hole in the redwoods. Please read all "rules" and all "access instructions" after booking.

Partially Fenced
2 acres

This is a private, undeveloped, forested spot. If you are interested in this spot, you and your dog should be up for a mini adventure. This spot is not a manicured, backyard park. It is wild and beautiful, and a rare find in this area. THERE IS NO TRASH SERVICE AT THIS FOREST LOCATION. PACK EVERYTHING OUT WITH YOU, INCLUDING DOG POOP BAGGIES. The trail starts at the west (downhill) end of the parking spot, and winds downhill to the creek (there are a couple of switchbacks). The trail from the parking area to the creek is less than 5 minutes long. At the bottom of the trail, is a deck. Beyond the deck is a year-round creek with a swimming hole. There are fish, frogs, newts, and crawdads. All wildlife is protected, so please don't catch or remove them. You may walk up and down along the creek exploring, as long as you turn around before the bend that is downstream. The trail that leads downhill to the creek is intermediate, not for beginners or flip-flops. There should be no poison oak or ticks on the trail, but if you venture off the trail, you may encounter poison oak or ticks. There are blackberry bushes to the sides of the trail that resemble poison oak. There should be no foxtails. You may see wild animals. As a wild spot, you may encounter typical hazards that are present in most local forest trails, such as wildlife, water, and trip-and-fall hazards. This is a private spot, and there should be no other people or dogs during your booking. If you see someone during your booking, please let us know as soon as possible, so that we can take steps to prevent them from trespassing again. There is no lighting at this spot, so if you book before sunrise or after sunset, please bring a headlamp or flashlight. Maximum 2 people per dog. There is no trash collection service at this location, so please pack out any trash. Thank you!

55What a great day…the dogs really worked out. It is worth the 45 min drive for me. That’s how much I like it. There is no place like it in the upper peninsula. The dogs think I am am really cool for bringing them here. Slept so good at home that Q missed me opening up the cookie jar…had to bring her treat to her. Just exhausted had not had so much fun since we left our acreage in Oklahoma.

55Terrific spot to take to let the dog run around and play fetch. Fully fenced in with a tall fence, beautiful scenery to enjoy while playing with the pups, a covered picnic table, baby pools, and toys for the dogs to use.

55This is a great location. There was plenty of room for my pup to run around. The picnic table and shelter is a nice touch. It was such a beautiful winter day that the humans didn't need it, but if it was overcast, a little drizzly or a warmer day the shelter/shade would be welcome.

55I was really impressed how the dog’s loved this place. Q and Trip both did some trotting which was a big deal for the old man. Most of the time it is just “sniff and walk” but not here. Two different terrains, which is wonderful since part of it has a hill which really worked my calf muscles, (evidently the dogs were not the only ones needing exercise) however the majority of the property is reasonably level. Several large trees gave plenty of shade. Great guest accommodations with covered shelter for people, a picnic bench, towels, poop scoop & bags, bowls, toys, balls, fresh water and doggie pools. So very clean and well kept. I walked the full perimeter and can confirm it is a 6 ft fence. My dogs were safe there and you talk about sleeping good on the way home. Yeah! They think I am their hero.

55Sniffspot and this location is a dream come true! I am so happy someone started this business. This spot is and secure and has a tons of interesting areas for pups to explore. My pups are highly prey driven and besides running abroad they chased birds and lizards out of bushes. Its a blessing to see them enjoy doing what they truly are bred to do. It is up a steep hill but worth it. The area is open and sunny.

55Great place for our younger Golden Retriever to run and our older Golden to sniff around and be the explorer. We did discover a few ticks on them in the car on the way home which were easily plucked off when we pulled over to get them off (next time we'll bring a tick comb). The property is big and peaceful with lots of room to run. I would recommend it especially for dogs that would enjoy room to run for long distances (ours chases tennis balls). The road to get to the house is steep for about 1/4 mile (or less) but if you drive slowly and carefully, it's no problem. I really appreciated the quick response from the owner and the easy of the app which I had just discovered the same morning we booked.

55Our dogs had a great time at this Sniffspot! It's a really nice big yard so our older dog had lots to explore and our younger dog had plenty of room to chase the ball. The host had water out for them and even offered us poop bags which was very nice of her, and she was very friendly. She has chickens but put them inside before we arrived because I thought our dogs might chase them. Really nice big space for the doggos! My photo doesn't do justice to the size of the area.

Frequently asked questions about Santa Cruz dog parks

Are private dog parks better than public dog parks in Santa Cruz?

Yes, private dog parks in Santa Cruz eliminate the major risks of public facilities: unpredictable dog encounters, inattentive owners, disease transmission, and chaotic environments. With Sniffspot's 200 private locations in Santa Cruz, you get complete privacy during your booking, professionally maintained spaces, and flexible scheduling. No more worrying about aggressive dogs or unsafe conditions. Hillside meadow and other highly-rated Santa Cruz locations consistently receive 5-star reviews for safety and cleanliness.

Are Sniffspot dog parks in Santa Cruz safe for all dog types?

Absolutely! Santa Cruz Sniffspot locations welcome puppies learning socialization, senior dogs needing gentle exercise, small dogs who feel overwhelmed at public parks, high-energy dogs needing room to run, and reactive dogs requiring privacy. The completely private bookings mean each dog gets exactly the environment they need with no compromises. Whether your dog is friendly, selective, anxious, or anywhere in between, Santa Cruz has 200 options to match their temperament.

When can puppies start visiting dog parks in Santa Cruz?

Puppies can visit Santa Cruz Sniffspot locations as soon as they have age-appropriate vaccinations (typically around 8-10 weeks with their first round of shots). Unlike public dog parks where you'd wait until puppies are fully vaccinated at 16+ weeks, Sniffspot's private bookings eliminate disease risk from unknown dogs. This early, safe socialization in Santa Cruz helps prevent fear and reactivity issues later. Many Santa Cruz trainers specifically use Sniffspot for puppy development.

How do I find private dog parks near me in Santa Cruz?

Browse Santa Cruz's 200 private dog parks on Sniffspot by entering your zip code or neighborhood. Filter by distance (within 5, 10, or 25 miles), then narrow by features: fully fenced, "fewer dogs seen/heard," specific amenities like fully fenced dog parks or small dog parks. Each Santa Cruz listing shows photos, reviews, exact location, and instant availability. Hillside meadow is particularly popular among Santa Cruz dog owners.

Are Santa Cruz dog parks good for small dogs?

Yes! Many Santa Cruz Sniffspot hosts specifically mark their spaces as "small dog friendly," meaning they're sized appropriately for toy breeds and small dogs. Unlike public dog parks where small dogs can be intimidated or injured by larger dogs, Santa Cruz private bookings give your small dog the entire space. Filter for secure fencing with no gaps, smaller yard sizes, and hosts who cater to petite pups. Some Santa Cruz dog park locations even have separate small dog areas.

What's the difference between Sniffspot and public dog parks in Santa Cruz?

The biggest difference is privacy and control. Public dog parks in Santa Cruz mean sharing space with unknown dogs and owners. You can't control who shows up or how they behave. Sniffspot's 200 Santa Cruz locations give you private bookings where only your dogs are present. You choose the time, the space, and the environment. Plus, you get amenities like fully fenced dog parks, small dog parks, and maintained cleanliness that public parks can't guarantee.

Do Santa Cruz dog parks allow senior dogs?

Yes! Santa Cruz Sniffspot locations are excellent for senior dogs who need gentle exercise without the stress of public dog parks. Older dogs can explore at their own pace, rest when needed, and avoid being knocked over by rambunctious dogs. Look for Santa Cruz spots with flat terrain, shaded areas, easy access, and smaller sizes if your senior has limited mobility. The privacy means your older dog can enjoy off-leash time safely and comfortably.

Can I rent a private dog park in Santa Cruz by the hour?

Yes! All 200 Sniffspot locations in Santa Cruz are available for hourly rental. Most bookings are 1-2 hours, though you can reserve longer if needed. Book instantly through the platform, arrive during your time slot, and have the entire space to yourself. Many Santa Cruz dog owners rent weekly for consistent, safe exercise for their dogs.
