55Great spot in a pretty area! There is a nice little trail that loops around the property, as well as a large fully fenced play yard for fetch and off-leash play. Our host was super thoughtful and even provided water for the humans! Arabella R.

55Had another lovely time at this beautiful property. Was a hot day but owner made sure to leave us lots of water. Was very kind to our little yappy pups too lol. I think the best part is that our little chihuahua has a great time looking at the gophers. She can't get enough of them! She could never do that at regular dog parks because the other dogs would try to eat the gophers. (No gophers were harmed in the renting of this Sniffspot :P)
Can't wait to come again, we had such a blast!Andrea H.

55Came back again for another amazing visit!!🤩 Definitely was a lot cooler in the morning with a pretty sunrise and lots of toys and water for my dogs to enjoy! Since the spot is 3 acres and fully fenced, it’s so nice to see my dogs run freely without any worries. We did notice and enjoy the new chairs under the shade and my dogs loved the new grass turf which they laid down on for much needed rest.
Thank youu to our host Caren and we will definitely visit again soon!🐾Serena Q.

55My dogs and I had a great time. Caren is so nice and has tons of supplies if needed. The space is clean and it was great seeing my puppy run around without having to worry about him wandering off. The shaded area was great for my older dog to cool down. Claudia M.

55Caren’s sniffspot is a wonderful time! She is very welcoming and accommodating. The site is incredibly clean and comes with any supplies you could ever need. There are a lot of toys on site and the chuck it balls are such a huge perk. The shaded shelter is another really great aspect. Fencing is very secure. We will certainly be back! Nicole N.

55As always a great place to bring your flurry friend 🐕 💨
Pepper totally loved it that we had to bring him back today, we drove 60 miles from the south just to see our dog running free being as happy as his first time here. Plus Caren the host is super nice and friendly!
Also if you’re driving from a far place there’s a gas station nearby and they have pretty good fried chicken 😂 Yesenia M.

55Love love LOVE this spot!!!! My dog had an absolute blast checking out all the nooks and crannies. Such an amazing place. It was so clean and safe. I was on the lookout for anything that might cause an injury or something out of habit. Nothing! I couldn’t find a single sharp or pokey thing anywhere. The place is so well cared for I was able to just relax and let my dog explore. This is a great place to practice out of sight and under distraction recalls too! Terrific training area. I can’t recommend this place enough. We will DEFINITELY be back. Even the neighborhood is wonderful. Every person I passed waved good morning to me which is pretty rare around here. Lara E.

55We are regulars to this sniffspot, I have left many reviews in the past. My crazy dog loves jumping around the hills and the rocks to chase the balls, & finding them in the bushes. Thanks as always Katie! Michele S.

55Our pups loved Katie’s backyard. The place was spacious and the host was very thoughtful leaving water bowls, jugs of water and beds for the dogs. For humans, they provided sunscreen, bug repellant, chairs, canopies for shade, and even a walking stick! We highly recommend this spot and eager to bring the pups back in the near future. Josh B.

55Such a great spot! I loved that there was a variety of terrain textures. Mandy is a bit of a scaredy-dog, so I loved her having access to the different feels.
We went in later afternoon and there was a really nice breeze. There were several chair set ups with dog bowls and gallons of water and a bucket of toys—all of which were greatly appreciated.
The space does have a very steep grade, but Mandy delighted in taking a ball up and chasing it as it rolled back down. Stacee E.

55Our first time using SniffSpot and had an amazing day! Spacious, adventurous, and lots n lots for the pups to sniff. Have 2 rescue dogs with a lil bit of anxiety and this off the leash spot was a safe controlled environment and exactly what they needed. Thank you for having us! Love, Mikey & MinnieLenora R.

55Yaya had a great time! We used the space to let her run around and practice some recall. She definitely got a great workout in and loved resting in the shade. Note that there are cacti with sharp thorns so be careful and watch if your dog like mine tends to stick her head in bushes/plants to investigate…she got 2 long thorns stuck on her but they weren’t deep. We removed them very easily and she learned her lesson after that. Despite that little hiccup, we will definitely be back! Yaya was so happy this afternoon. Crystal B.

FAQ about our Anza 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. 95% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Anza 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 223 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 22 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.
