Fully Fenced, Peaceful, Beautiful Dog Park | Sniffspot
55My dogs had a blast running around this property. There were lots of toys, water spickets, and other wonderful amenities. The dogs didn't seem interested in the pond like I hoped but it was a great addition to their play day overall. The area was fully fenced in which is great for my 8 month old puppy while we practice recall. Host was very welcoming and accomodating. We hope to be back soon!Maddie P.

55Wide open run! Even the greyhound reached full tilt! The birddog made the circuit confirming all secure. And the vet gave foxtail rating a <1/5. Fab!
A few random gopher holes, but no big leg breakers. Comfortable spot for the humans to sit and gab. A few Chuckits to maintain entertainment. And pull your car inside the gate, so danger-free exit and enter. Lara R.

55This was our first time using Sniffspot, and it couldn’t have been better! The backyard was spacious, clean, and absolutely beautiful—with horses and even a pig safely in their own fenced area. My puppy was over the moon, bouncing around with pure joy the entire time. Such a wonderful way to spend an hour together!Laura D.

55As always, so much fun. This place is so set up to make things as easy as possible for us as the guest using their facilities. The host and hostess are 𝒶𝓁𝓌𝒶𝓎𝓈 so gracious and helpful to me, no matter my requests or needs. It’s my favorite spot available on this app for sure. I booked last night(very last minute) and a friend I invited joined myself and my 2 doggies as well. The host showed me how I could easily modify my reservation to include a third doggy via the app. No worries, so easy. Can’t say enough good things about every experience with these folks. And we have been here several times thus far. 𝒜𝓃𝒹 I got the bonus of seeing the sunset for the first time from this incredible location. Absolutely stunning.

55Wonderful spot! The host was very nice, it was clean, and had everything we needed. The pond was especially nice for the pups on this hot day. His goats were an even better addition! The kids and the dogs loved seeing them. Thank you for hosting such a nice sniff spot! We’ll definitely be back soon (:Savannah B.

55The yard and pool are both super clean. The pool has a different height steps throughout for all sizes of dogs and a step in the deep end so it’s easy to get out on both sides. Beautiful views while your dogs swim. Such a great spot if you have a dog that loves water. My spaniel had the best time. Jean T.

55This spot was fabulous. And the small pond on the property was a huge hit with our dogs. I didn’t even know one of them would get in the water until we visited here. My pack was able to run, swim and lay in the shade to their hearts contact. I now have the happiest dirty and wet dogs ever. We will definitely be back!!Cassondra H.

55This property is perfect for a dog. From the pond, to the rolling hills to the toys provided, it's a wonderful getaway. They even provide a spicket with a shower head to wash off your dog after playtime.joelle h.

55This Sniffspot was perfect for us. The directions/parking were easy. The space for our dogs was great. There was plenty of space for 5 dogs to run around, sniff and enjoy being off leash. The fencing was really nice, no holes or weak areas. The shade was great for both humans and dogs. We all loved it and can’t wait to come back. Kassia G.

FAQ About Petaluma 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.
