Perfect size yard with a slope, which is great to help build muscle in your dog. My girls had a great time!

I love this yard! I have show dogs (Great Danes) and the yard is a perfect size. I have to build and maintain muscle in my dogs and the slope is perfect for doing that.

Money well spent! Absolutely perfect. Zero complaints! My dog was so happy to run around and sniff and explore. My heart is full from my pup’s experience here today. I am full of gratitude for the host that provided such a lovely experience for my pup.

I live in a condo and don't have a yard, so Cathy's yard was a great first experience to bring my German Shepard. He had a great time chasing the ball and they have treats as well. It's so much better than going to a dog park because of the privacy and not having to worry about him catching anything from another dog. I will definitely be back!

First time here, and my dogs had a blast! They were free to run full speed, and up the hill. There were also bushes that my bigger dog hurdled, thinking it was an obstacle course :) They had a cart with dog toys and plenty of balls, along with a bowl of water. Will definitely be back! Thanks again!

A lovely clean backyard in a super quiet neighborhood! The owner left water, toys, and a jar of treats for us which was a nice touch. There is some intermittent barking from neighbor dogs, so just a heads up for any extra sensitive pups!

Great yard! Water and toys for dogs, nice and quiet and patio for pet parents. Make sure to park in street in front of host’s home. Look forward to coming back!

Super responsive and generous hostess! My dogs have ridiculous obsessive issues, and she was great about updates how those temptations were already being dealt with. We came today with 5 dogs, and all 5 are so happy and tired. Thank you, we will be back.

We had wonderful time in your yard with our young Miniature Australian Shepherd. Penny thoroughly enjoyed her time being off her leash. We will be back!

Cathy was very sweet and accommodating when I told her about my rescue who is fearful of people. My 2 dogs enjoyed running around the spacious yard and left very tired. I would love to take them again!

Jale G.

Dogs had a great time! Lots of room to run and things to sniff. There’s a cactus by the fence to watch out for when dogs are running around, but other than that we had a great time! Will come back for sure

Great yard, my dog loved running up and down the slope and surfing down the looser dirt. Since it’s been a dry winter, yard is primarily dirt and larger bushes/plants and not lush grass. Only thing to be cautious of is the cactus on the left side of the yard.

Esther S.

January 2025

There was a lot of space for Soda Pop to chase her ball. I was surprised that there was only dirt, but that didn’t stop her. She enjoyed running up the hills and she helped with the holes that were already there. Over all a very safe place to take her.

Hunny & sisters private dog water park is the second sniffspot location that I’ve visited. There is a visible sign on the gate to let the fur parents know which gate to go through. The pool water is a comfortable temperature to get a relief from our Southern California weather. The pool and yard is well maintained, there are no gaps in the fence and I felt comfortable letting my dog run around in the yard. Our host left bottled water on ice for our enjoyment. There was chairs under an umbrella to get relief from the sun. We will definitely come back and I already booked three more swim dates in the next few weeks.

Very clean, loved the extra towels and dog toys. And the pool was awesome. The marked gate and signs were also very helpful, my dogs had so much fun, thank you

Perfect place for our pup to learn to swim! Nice pool and plenty of room for her to run around. Loved the toys. Can’t wait to visit again.
