We have heifers (young cows) that you may see from time to time. They are shy and usually stay away but they do get curious when they see dogs but they will not harm them or you. So no worries! More than likely you will not see any heifers on your walk. Again if you do, do not be scared because they are more afraid of you than you are of them:) They may be curious about your car and may rub up against it 😳 You can park somewhere else if they are nearby.

Sometimes

You may see someone driving up or down the driveway but not often. If you decide to walk up the driveway then you may see someone driving home or to work but if you decided to walk up the dirt road that goes up the hill then you will not see anyone. Occasionally I have a family member that splits wood across the driveway from where you park. I will let him know when my guests will be visiting so there won’t be any distractions.

Additional rules

Hello! I’m so happy you are booking my spot. I hope you enjoy it out here! This is a beautiful ranch to bring your dogs! ** FIRST TIME GUESTS **Please reserve a visit on the weekends for your first time because I cannot meet you during the week while I’m at work. You can reserve any day after your first visit. Thank you 😊 Please keep your dogs leashed if you see any heifers. Thank you🙏 **Please check your messages if for any reason I cannot meet with you. A guest recently made a reservation and I wasn't able to be there. I messaged them right away through Sniffspot several times to let them know I couldn’t meet with them. That is the only way to inform my guests is through messages on Sniffspot. I paid them back the full amount since they didn't reschedule or cancel. I felt terrible and didn't want them to pay for nothing. But again I tried to contact them for two days to let them know. So please if you see a notification from Sniffspot it could be very important.

Hi my name is Karalee. I am a certified nurse assistant / rehab technician who specializes in caring for patients with many different conditions and needs and I love animals. I have a Pomeranian rescue from China. Her name is Freya. She’s my baby and I love giving her the love and life that she didn’t experience before I adopted her. I heard about SniffSpot and thought my ranch would be the perfect place to bring your dogs. It’s far from town, it’s beautiful, it’s private and far from neighbors. I do have one neighbor across the road that is also on a ranch. I hope you come out and visit my ranch and if you do I hope you enjoy the beauty of it and the privacy it gives.

Fully Fenced, Peaceful, Beautiful Dog Park

Fully Fenced
3 acres

A beautiful fenced-in 3+ acre parcel with hills, a few trees, areas with short and tall grass. Dogs absolutely love it here. Occasionally we’ll see wild turkeys and a few deer (and a gopher or squirrel here and there) but otherwise it is a dog roaming paradise. Easy to pull in and park on the gravel area. I have dog bowls, a few toys, 3 pooper scoopers, emergency poop bags, and a couple of washing stations. Cell reception is reasonably good here.

Rover's Ranch Run! 2 acre fenced field of sniffs

Fully Fenced
2 acres

Fully fenced open field experience to walk, run, and sniff! You will also have a beautiful new shade structure for your use with seating, a table, and water spigot. This open area is great for active pups to get a free run, walk around the perimeter, or fetch super long ball throws! Your pup can jump on the large boulders and run to their hearts content. Perfect for off-leash training. Large oaks line the East fence and a winter swale will have water after it rains. Beautiful sunsets to the West over the vineyards, Mt. Jackson and the Coastal Range. Neighboring properties have horses, sheep, cows, and dogs. Please discourage your pup digging around the pavilion and trees. Parking is at the top of the property. Regular visits are limited to 5 dogs and 2 cars. Should you want to gather a larger group for a Breed Meetup or Birthday Pawty, please see the extras listed or message us for more options. Lots of opportunities to sniff and play!
