55We had a wonderful time at Laura’s sniffspot! I took my golden retriever and my friend brought her corgi. We also asked if Laura’s rescue pup, Scooby-Do, wanted to join and he was a great addition to the fun! Laura was so kind, bringing water out for the dogs and humans, and was very communicative. The yard was big enough to play fetch with a big dog and was tons of fun for the dogs to explore and sniff around. Thank you, Laura! Looking forward to returning. Steffani S.

55This was a great spot, would book again! Linda does have 2 personal dogs, so when I informed her one of my dogs was not friendly she put her dogs in her bedroom to make sure they did not join my dogs in the yard. I appreciated the extra step to ensure both of our dogs safety and security. She made sure we had fresh water and offered us humans some water also. Very hospitable. Thank you! Cassie J.

55We loved our visit to Linda’s yard! There was plenty of space for the dogs to run around and sniff, and a fresh water bowl ready for them when we arrived. A small collection of various balls was on the outdoor table for our use. We were also able to use the doggie pool, which was a kiddie/wading pool. After some time for sniffing around and chasing a ball, Linda brought out her own dog, Scooby Doo, to play with our dogs. At the end, she generously provided towels for us to dry off our dogs. Everyone had fun! Janice C.

55Loved it! Lots of open space, places to explore and sniff, and shade. The fence was secure for little dogs (the fence is reinforced with wire). I have a little escape artist foster dog and he was secure in the yard. Very peaceful in the morning. Definitely will be back! Niki & Ben C.

FAQ about our Rancho Santa Fe 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. 96% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Rancho Santa Fe 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 156 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 19 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.
