55My dogs and I had a great experience. The entrance was really easy to find & the gate was easy to open. There were Chuck-it sticks mounted to the wall and toy buckets on the porch. The entryway is fully gated which is great for my dogs who need a moment to calm down before/after playing. It makes a great transition spot to manage leashes and get myself organized.
The main yard was big, had a nice grass section for running and then a more natural garden area that my boys enjoyed sniffing. Ours was a SUPER last-minute booking so I was impressed with how clean it was.
My lab had fun chasing tennis balls and my cattle dog found a squeaky toy which he absolutely loved.
I chatted a bit with the host and she was super responsive.
We could hear some dogs barking in the neighborhood and my boys ran to the fence to check it out but it was good practice for them being called away from distractions.
Overall really happy and we will definitely be back. Morghan T.

55Fantastic spot! Easy to find in a safe neighborhood with easy parking. My dog loved running around and playing freely in the spacious, fully fenced yard. Big shade trees and outdoor seating kept us cool and comfortable. The drinking water stations, designated dig spots, and kiddie pool all added to the great experience. Chizette was incredibly responsive and friendly in all our app messages. Thanks, Chizette, for the fun, dog-friendly space. We can't wait to go back! Michelle K.

55It was an amazing experience. Our first time ever using sniff spot. Our host was so gracious and the yard was like a park setting. Our dogs had the time of their life. It is so convenient to airport for travelers.. We drove from Western Washington so our poor dogs were ready to run around. Felt so much safer than a dog park and will definitely use again on our next trip..thank you so much. Therese M.

55The driveway is set a bit back from the road so this helped my reactive dog get comfortable more easily as we parked and got out into the yard. Kevin was very gracious and let us stay longer than I had originally booked, since my dog took a long time to calm down when she got out of the car.Astri S.

55Nice area to explore. The area is set off the road which is nice since the entry is the only non-fenced part. I took two dogs and they loved the running stream plus all the different paths. It also gave me a great place to prove they still have a good off leash recall. I recommend! Thank you to the home owners for opening up your yard! Allison Allison B.

55Beautiful garden in every season. There was a lot for my dog to explore and the lot sis set back enough from the road that it helped my reactive dog stay calm getting out of my car in the driveway.Astri S.

55Buster had such a blast here! He had fun smelling and checking out everything. We also played a little ball and worked on some of his trick training, but he mostly wanted to explore. I hope someday that I can have a place like that. It was so relaxing and nice. I will definitely be booking another reservation.Eve S.

55My dog loves to sniff everything in this yard. It was easier to manipulate her long leash now that it's winter and a lot of the plants are cut back, but she still seemed to have plenty to explore. It is so impactful for her to have this as parks are often too stressful for her unless it's totally empty, and although my yard is fenced in she can easily jump the fence so she doesn't get much opportunity otherwise to just be a dog. This is a great spot for decompression walks for my reactive dog.Astri S.

55We got to meet the host, by chance, who was very welcoming and helpful! Ample parking on street or in driveway. Yard/garden was great and is a really unique property. Lots of area to roam and smell or throw a ball, etc. The driveway is open but we didn’t think twice about it - although our dog luckily doesn’t leave us while off leash. If your dog is a curious runner I would keep this in mind! Great spot! Thanks for making it available! Roy B.

55Really beautiful space! My dog was eager to run and jump through all of the garden beds, so I wound up putting her on the long leash. Great spot for a decompression walk with lots of water features and smells :-)Emily F.

55Cute peaceful spot! I wasn’t expecting to be able to take my dog off leash, but there was a nice spot in the back where I felt safe doing so. She loved sniffing around in all the plants! Lyndsey G.

55Very cool Sniffspot! The entrance is nice and open. The yard has an awesome layout, it felt like a private park with different pathways to walk through. My puppy had a great time exploring while on a 30-foot leash. We took several laps around and felt like we were on a little trail. I would visit again!Karina F.

55Very beautiful garden! Our pups loved it! You can tell they put alot of work into making it to such a oasis place to walk through. Lots of places for your dogs to sniff till they are exhausted. Jacquelyn P.

55This yard was gorgeous! My dog, Katie, had such a fun time running, sniffing, and most of all, playing in the water. The only thing that was tricky is that my map tried to take me to the apartment complex next door so just be sure to pay attention to the address on the mailbox. Sierra S.

FAQ about our Boise 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. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Boise 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 39 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 3 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.
