55Easy to get in and out. Very spacious. Friendly folks. Plenty of water, toys,
55Caren is the best Sniffspot Host. She truly cares about you enjoying your time there with your fur baby. Thanks for hosting this beautiful spot !
55Great space! It was so peaceful and my dogs could run and explore their hearts out! Great assortment of toys, water, and necessities.
55Always great to be here at this spot! Always clean and secure for our pets… Caren is always making sure all of her guests are having the best experience there, so thank you for that!!! Weather is changing so we’ll start to book a little earlier, but she already put a big lamp to be able to enjoy a little bit of the night skies while playing with our flurry family members 🐕 ❤️✨🌙
55I became unexpectedly unwell and could not make our playdate. The host Caren was extremely understanding and gracious. We will be making another reservation, which we will be able to honor soon.
45Its a great size space and the person that greeted me was very nice. The only setback for me was that I was expecting grass as in the photos. If you are ok with it being dry then you will enjoy this place. Maybe some updated photos to reflect what it looks like right now. I drove an hour and stayed 40 minutes out of a 2 hour scheduled visit. I have small dogs and they like to roll around in grass.
55Wow! Incredible host and property. Tyson my Malinois felt right at home right away! Can’t say I have ever seen him so “in his element”. It brought tears to my eyes to see him thriving off leash. I cannot wait to come back early morning or late afternoon. He loved it even with the heat but yes, definitely be mindful of heat exhaustion as it does get much hotter out here than the coast. Can’t say enough GOOD! Fence condition was perfect, so many toys, and fresh cold water, even a bonus dunking tank for really hot days. Already excited for our next visit!
55Great spot and we had a really good 1st visit. Felt very secure and the host was wonderful. Easy access and parking was simple to access as well. Lots of toys to use and the host hand plenty of extras. Clean and we loved the shaded pergola area with lots of seating. Will definitely book again.
55Nice and welcoming place! Dogs enjoyed their play time!
55Such a wonderful host! Had fresh water, toys and enough shade.

Palmhill is a working organic farm. One may observe an employee come and go from time to time but it would be just occasionally and for the briefest length of time. There is never an occasion when an employee would ever interact with a guest or their dog/s.

Description

The Sniffspot venue is a 3 acre fully fenced area that you and your dog will have unsupervised, exclusive use of for the time that you have booked. There, you will find fresh filtered (RO) water for your canine companions, an abundance of toys, Chuckit balls and launchers, including guest supplies and other listed amenities. The entire farm is 36 fenced acres. For anyone interested, I will gladly provide supervised walks around the entire property for additional psychological enrichment at no additional cost. Note: Palmhill is a working organic farm. There may be an occasional worker sighting, but absolutely no reason for any employee to ever interact with a guest or their dogs. My interests lie in offering an affordable, stress-free, large, safe, clean, offleash venue for guests and their canine companions. Thanks to an awesome group of guests who have been with us since first opening the venue, this has been a very rewarding experience. However, there have been, a few guests who have not been doing a very good job of cleaning up after their own dogs which makes it very unpleasant for the guests who come in to the venue next. I have many visitors who pick up dog droppings of other people's dogs and don't say a word, and also return toys and balls to the recepticles, but they shouldn't have to! I actually had a guest say to me once, "Oh, I thought you had people to do that!" No, everyone is responsible for cleaning up after themselves before they leave the field. That's how we keep the venue tidy and affordable! I don't think that's an unreasonable expectation. I've had to post a list of reminders at the venue, (thank you, Michele) which I feel terrible about because they're not relevant for the MAJOROTY of Palmhill's guests. It's just a handful of mostly newer guests who aren't being very team friendly. I've met some awesome people and even more so awesome dogs, but sorry to say, if you don't play fair, you will be asked not to come back to this venue. Everyone is welcome including, large groups, highly reactive dogs, special needs dogs- dogs with anxiety, physical handicaps, previous dog park trauma dogs, etc. We love them all and will do our best to make everyone feel welcome! Thanks so much for your support! 🐾❤️🐾

Cleanliness

100% of guests said this spot was as clean as expected during their visit.

Hazards

There is always the possibility of a venomous snake during rattlesnake season! Be Observant during those months that rattlers may be out and about! My own dogs have all had the Rattlesnake vaccine and boosters just in case, as well as avoidance training. Rattlers are part of the Southern California landscape, period. Although I've never seen one on this property, we do occasionally see Gopher snakes or (my favorite) the majestic King snake! It would be foolish to pretend like Rattlers couldn't be here, somewhere. It's best to be vigilant, particularly if you see your dog fixated on something "in the grass." Be safe, have fun!

Additional rules

Sorry, but in an effort to avoid any last minute surprises, I'm going to ask for at least a 12 hour window before making any changes to your scheduled visits once booked. Please don't allow your dog to dig holes in the Sniffspot venue as it creates a hazard for other dogs that may be running in the space. Sorry to say, but many guests are not doing a very thorough job of picking up their dogs' droppings! In order to keep a clean venue for all to enjoy, I ask that everyone do their best to clean up after their dog\dogs. Also, please return all toys and balls to their assigned recepticles before leaving the field. Enjoy! Thank you!

Picture this: You and your pup, nestled in the shade of magnificent oak and pepper trees, perched atop a gentle hill. As you both catch your breath from climbing the gentle hill, you can't help but be captivated by the view that stretches out before you in this is unique one acre fenced open space, in Southwest Escondido.
