55Very clean and well maintained place. It is not as big as I expected but it’s just right to play some fetch and get some pup energy out. I have visited here twice already and I’ll definitely be returning.Piunik H.

55Great place to bring dogs! There's a large field area if you want to throw a ball but our 2 dogs spent most of their time sniffing about in the wooded area at the back of the property. Host was friendly and helpful. We'll definitely be back.Brian C.

55This was such a great spot for my dogs, and for my 15 year old! Mandy was gracious; we enjoyed meeting her. The giant open field was awesome, and the dogs ran themselves silly chasing tennis balls that were provided (so did my kiddo!). When we needed a cool down, we looped through all the trails and ate blackberries. The dogs were a bit grumbly that we didn't feed them ALL the berries. The whole experience was perfect, from the well maintained trails and field to the water, balls and Chuck-it, and the poop station. We'll definitely be back!Tracey D.

55Great spot for your dog. Great yard and nice wooded area for a stroll. Unfortunately, not the best place for my pup with a couple barking dogs in the background and my pup not listening to me to not go into the private yard area. Gwen Heisterkamp &.

55What a fun spot that has a little bit of everything our dogs loved. There’s a big grassy field that’s mowed, more tall grasses to investigate, chickens and goats that fascinated us, and the nicest owners! They gave us a lay of the land and provided water and bowls. The farm animals were completely protected from the dogs, but were close enough to be of great interest. All the running and sniffing made for some tired, happy visitors! Deborah P.

55We will definitely be visiting this spot again! Our two dogs had a blast running around, exploring, and checking out the goats and chickens. It was all such great stimulation for them. And we had just as much fun as they did! The goats were adorable and very friendly. Kari and her husband were really welcoming and brought out some water for our pups to enjoy and showed us around. It was a nice and relaxing afternoon for all of us. Once we got back in the car, the dogs were nice and tired. Exactly what we’d hoped for! Kelsey L.

55The host was really nice, I'm a bit socially awkward and was a tiny bit worried about the dogs I had with me reacting to her but they did fine.
It was a really good place to desensitize my dog and my reactive client to goats and chickens and even to the dogs next door. We chose this spot specifically to work on behaviors.
The space was large enough that with good recall you could keep the dogs away from the farm animals and neighboring dogs.
It is a nicely maintained yard, the dogs got super muddy and had a wonderful time. Both slept the entire day after their visitChris A.

55My first Sniffspot visit left me quite pleased! Kari and her family were very kind and friendly and the house was easy to find with her directions. My dog loved running through the puddles in the field and saying hi to the (very securely fenced) goats and chickens. Bring boots if it’s raining, it can get a little muddy!Marianna C.

55Athena had SO MUCH FUN here!! She was so excited about the goats, who just stared at her in amusement from the other side of the gate haha. The grass yard was big, which was awesome for fetch! Lots of space for her to run!Amy H.

55Our pups had a great time in this large open space! It was a bit swampy when we went but our dogs like that sort of thing, and we were expecting it. As the listing says, a good recall is important. We knew one of our dogs would be fine with the barnyard animals but were introducing our puppy to them (chickens and goats) for the first time, and he was *very* interested in them. The fence separating the barnyard animals from the dogs is secure enough to keep the barn animals in, but not enough to keep a determined dog out, so please be responsible in your choice. Jamie F.

55Our terrier mix couldn’t have been happier than she clearly was during our visit to this lovely Sniff Spot. Friendly hosts, big open spaces, no traffic in the area, and nearby farm animals - what’s not to love? Yes - there are some swampy areas in the field, but relatively easy to avoid and plenty of dry space for running and playing. We’ll certainly plan to come back!Polly O.

55My dog loved running in the large yards! She also was so excited once she noticed the goats and chickens! She had never been exposed to Llamas so seeing those nextdoor add great as well! She had a great time and we will remember to bring towels next time because it is wet but the host was more than thoughtful and left us a few!!Michelle S.

55Loved visiting this spot with soba. It is a quiet, peaceful forest glen far back along a dirt road past a gate at the end of a paved road. I followed detailed directions provided by the host to get to the glen. The glen itself is about 100 ft by 100 ft with a fire pit and seating. It’s surrounded by thick quiet woods. This would be a great place to come out with friends to enjoy an afternoon. Make sure to have good recall with your pups or bring a long line though because I didn’t see any fences. There are some trails that head away from the glen and I wasn’t sure if they were on the property so I didn’t follow them too far - but I asked the host afterward and she said the trails are on her property so they are fair game. Make sure to bring boots if it’s wet because it can be a little muddy.David A.

FAQ about our Maple Valley 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. 97% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Maple Valley 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 284 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 52 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.
Can I rent a field for my dog to run near Maple Valley?
