55The Sniffspot is very easy to find and is wonderfully fenced. There are chairs provided, and the host provided water and some balls and hand sanitizer. There is both sun and shade and some comfortable chairs in the shade. It is a very accommodating Sniffspot. It is easy to access and it has great parking off the street. Carol F.

55Tamara has created a beautiful backyard oasis and we are so lucky she has decided to share. Her Sniffspot is a safe place with plenty of sun and shade and she’s stocked her poolside with towels and clean cold water. Definitely worth the visit. Shannon A.

55We booked this spot mostly because of the use of the pool. Tamara, was such an amazing and wonderful host! So many amenities from ice cold water for my pup, fresh towels and dog bags. The spot was safe and secure and I had nothing to worry about with my fur baby. I only wish I had taken a photo of him splashing in the pool, but we were having such a fun time, I didn’t get to! We can’t wait to go back and do it again!Kris K.

55FurRetreat was a wonderful experience for my babies ! The yard area was large enough for them to run blow off steam and potty when needed. The pool area was great too ! My girl loves to swim and dove right in. My boy is a rescue and doesn’t quite have the confidence yet to swim. He’s definitely making progress though. He went in the low end on his own. Daddy took him into water over his head and helped him to get the idea. The dog toys, towels, water and iced tea was a lovely touch !! Thank you so much !Jean F.

FAQ about our Venice 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.
Are 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 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 guests so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog. 96% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Venice area are 5 stars.
How do I know if a dog park works for my dog?
You can filter Sniffspot dog parks by fencing and distractions. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our 100 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 14 off leash areas where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can also filter locations to avoid other domestic animals and people. We also recommend reading reviews and reaching out to the host with any questions.
