55Wonderful location and setting! This was the first time for my 30 pound McNab Shepherd, who usually just sits in the corner in a new area because of unfamiliarity. But as soon as she got inside the fenced in area, and off leash, she happily ran around and explored the entire ranch.Michael O.

55This was our first time to any Sniffspot & it was a great experience! The owner greeted us when we arrived (since it was our first time), gave us a short overview & off we went. We have a reactive dog (to other dogs) so this spot was ideal for him. As they stated, you could hear chickens & a dog barking in a far distance but not enough for my dog to have big feelings about them. There is a horse in the next field at the far corner of the property but not to worry - he's a calm guy & doesn't move quickly. It was good practice for my dog to observe the horse without barking & disengaged when he was ready to do so. The property is mowed with lots and lots of room sniffing, running, sprinting, fetching. My dog had a good mental & physical exercise.cathy w.

55This was our 2nd time here and our pup loves this place! They keep everything trimmed and clean. It is quite dry (begenning of September) but that's to be expected. We will be back again!Cristina M.

55Our first time visiting and the dogs had a great time. Our small dog has lots if energy and this was a great place for Finn to get it out, running hard in large open space.
Very easy to find and access. There is a great gazebo with plastic chairs and small table that provides shade for the doggies. Also fresh water for the dogs. The fence was secure and allowed us to let the dogs run free. We will return for sure!Jennifer H.

55Buddy and I visited Rover’s Ranch and a tired dog is a happy dog so mission accomplished! There is plenty of room to run and play a good game of fetch. The grasses were mowed short which is really helpful this time of year…no burrs and the view looking to the western hills is just lovely. Meghan S.

55This place is HUGE and so beautiful. We paid for the extra 18 acres and it was well worth it. The dogs had a blast smelling all the little sheep droppings and playing in the space. Leigh was also super friendly and gave us the rundown of the place. We will probably be back when we’re back in the area. Elena C.

55Rover’s Ranch Run was our very first SniffSpot experience, and we couldn’t have been more pleased! The area is well-maintained, peaceful, and had many great “sniffs” for our dog to enjoy. We loved being able to have her run off-leash fetching balls to her heart’s content, which she doesn’t get to do very often. Having a sweet spot like Rover’s Ranch Run to finally have an area to let her run, play, and explore was a heartwarming experience. Thank you so much, Leigh! We’ll definitely be making another reservation at Rover’s Ranch Run soon!Lyndsie D.

It was very pleasing to see my reactive dog be able to have so much freedom. Great place! Karina A.

FAQ about our Santa Rosa small dog parks
Are small dog parks safe?
While public dog parks have a number of safety issues, such as aggressive dogs, disease transmission and general cleanliness, Sniffspot dog parks are much safer than public dog parks. 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 park users so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits are 5 stars.
How can I find small dog parks in Santa Rosa?
There are 49 small dog parks in the Santa Rosa area. The most popular small dog park is . You can browse all of our small dog parks here.
How do I know if a small dog park works for my dog?
Start by applying basic filters, such as fencing and distractions, to find a dog park that works for your furry friends. If your dog doesn't respond to owner commands, you can visit one of our enclosed dog park areas. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our small dog park sites where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can see any park amenities provided, including a park bench, water for dogs or water features such as kiddie pool or water hose. If your dog loves water, you can go to a park with water features, but if they don't love water, you can avoid them. We also recommend reading reviews to check for park maintenance issues and reaching out to the host with any questions. And lastly, of course, check park hours. Many of our parks are open from dawn until dusk.
What are the requirements to bring my dog to a Sniffspot park?
We require that all dogs have basic vaccinations or equivalent titers. We do not allow dogs with a bite history. We require that owners sign our waiver and agree to follow our safety rules. We also require that pet owners follow safety protocols around water features.
Will there be other dogs at the Sniffspot park at the same time as me?
Sniffspot only allows one booking at a time and any host dogs are required to be kept away from the spot during visits. We also enforce 30 min time buffers between bookings.
If you are planning an amazing small dog park party, each Sniffspot park has their own rules regarding special events. Many parks allow doggie birthday parties, training, water parties and other event types. Event organizers need to be responsible for their guests and event organizers should coordinate with the host regarding their fun party. Make sure the park has amenities you need for your party, such as a park with lots of picnic tables with park benches.
