55Gorgeous place! My dogs had such a blast with all the space. Not sure if we came at a time the sprinklers usually turn on but it was the icing on top of their zoomies. Never seen my little one so happy he even built up the courage to swim in the pond. The amount of shade was perfect to end the day with a picnic and cool down from the heat. Katrina B.

55My dog has IBD (irritable bowel disease). Every so often he gets in a flare and he is basically miserable. It just so happened that Merlin ended up in a horrible flare right before I initially scheduled the sniffspot. I rescheduled for a week later and he is still no better (yes we went to vet, been dealing with this illness for years now) but I forgot to reschedule or cancel. I contacted Melissa and let her know we are not coming, and that i understood we won't get a refund. I was totally fine with it. Melissa was extremely kind and went out of her way to offer another time when Merlin feels better. She checked in on us as well. It is nice to have kind, thoughtful people in this world so thank you Melissa.Michelle R.

55Beautiful property. Shady with lots of trees. There was a paved sidewalk that goes all the way around the pond in the center. Plenty of seating with an umbrella for shade. The host had towels and water available for the pups. I tried the paddleboard but my dogs were too scared to get on lol.Lorene W.

55This was a great way to spend an hour with my dogs in the beautiful weather because it has lots of space and variation. The trees are great and fun to walk through like a mini forest, the grass was green and lush, and the pond was fun to wade in at the edge and take a drink. We walked with leashes near the street side just to be safe, but ran free and played ball on the grassy area near the pond because the white fence on the side secured the area nicely.Debra M.

55My dogs and I had a wonderful time here! This was the first Sniffspot my dogs didnโt get tired of, even after over 2 hours. I kept them leashed during our visit and they had a blast walking and exploring the area multiple times over. I rented a paddle boat and we all had a blast! I thought my dogs didnโt like swimming, but they jumped right into the pond with no hesitations and seemed to enjoy the boat ride. The host was very communicative and helpful, and went above and beyond to ensure my dog had a great birthday. We will be back for sure and, to anyone making a reservation, make sure to rent the paddle boat! Montessa G.

55My two dogs had a great time at this spot! We mostly stayed in one corner that felt the most secure in terms of fencing, but we walked around the pond a few times because they are relatively good at staying near me. I wasnโt expecting them to get into the pond, but one of them surprised me and decided to lie down in the shallow area. Luckily the host provided towels for drying off :) we will be back!Mickie T.

FAQ about our Elk Grove dog fields
Are dog fields safe?
If you are looking for an adventure, but also looking for safety, Sniffspot dog fields are a great option. While public dog parks have a number of safety issues, such as aggressive dogs, distracted dog owners, disease transmission and general cleanliness, Sniffspot dog parks are much safer than public dog parks. With Sniffspot all bookings are private space for just you and doggy friends you bring with you and we require all dogs to be vaccinated (or have equivalent titers). Especially for training, privacy is ideal. Contrary to public dog parks, all Sniffspot locations are vetted and reviewed by guests so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog for off leash exercise or outdoor training. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits are 5 stars, while public dog parks often do not even have verified reviews. All payment is done securely online by credit card in a few simple clicks.
All park rental information is available online. Start by filtering parks by fencing, size and distractions, to find a private spot that works for your dog. If your dog has poor recall, you can visit one of our secure fields. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our dog fields where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can review the details of the listing to make sure it works as your desired activity space, for example, safe dog exercise, dog training, a stress-free adventure with your furry friend or even a puppy event. You can even check the park amenities chart for amenities such as indoor training facilities, agility field, synthetic turf, exercise balls or field parking availability in advance. If inclement weather is an issue or poor field conditions, you can reschedule your visit up to 2 hours in advance.
What are the requirements to bring my dog to a Sniffspot dog field?
We require that all four-legged friends have basic vaccinations or equivalent titers. We do not allow dogs with a bite history. We require that guests sign our waiver and agree to follow our safety rules. Make sure to check host rules before visiting to ensure, for instance, that you are following allowable sports activities rules and any special events rules.
Will there be other dogs at the Sniffspot field at the same time as me?
No. Facility rentals are for private play time and any host dogs are required to be kept away from the area during visits, so this is perfect for a private adventure for you and your doggie friends, and perhaps a human friend. Hosts understand that many guests have dogs in training and are nervous owners. So when you book a Sniffspot dog field you have the entire private spot to yourself. We also enforce 30 min time buffers between time slots so you will not run into other guest dogs or a previous person when coming or leaving in the field parking area. Some hosts may have multiple fields, but there is always a buffer between fields.
How much do Sniffspot fields cost?
Dog fields in the Elk Grove area range from $6.0 and $6.0. The least expensive dog field is Fully Fenced Whittier Heights Yard. The most expensive dog field is Fully Fenced Whittier Heights Yard. Each host sets their own price, so you can check the price on the specific Sniffspot dog park listing.
