55This spot was great! Starr was very accommodating and friendly. She has horses which she moved to separate areas and an adorable mini horse the dogs could get to, but was very friendly and the dogs didn’t really bother too much. Her property has two large fields where dogs can run freely and tons of new smells to keep pups interested. There are spots in the fence where smaller dogs can get through to neighboring properties, so if a dog does not have good recall it may be an issue. My two GPs had a blast chasing barn cats, smelling new things, playing with Starr’s shepherd, and seeing horses for the first time. They left exhausted and happy. My kids had fun as well running around and interacting with her mini horse, which was an added bonus! We’ll definitely book this spot again.Nicole H.

55We went back yesterday and had another lovely visit! The dogs wore themselves out quickly with all the space to run and things to sniff. They heard a rooster crow a couple of times and were so intrigued. Good times! We will be back.Cindy K.

55Nice large, well maintained field with a little pool for the dogs. Enjoyed the greener part of smaller yard at the entrance too to work on a little obedience. Toys, poop bags, hand sanitizer were also provided which was thoughtful and a nice touch. My dog loved the pool and all the free space to run around and explore.Sharon F.

55Our Great Dane and Great Pyrenees loved being able to run and explore this fenced property. The owner Tyler greeted us and was super nice. The doggie pool was nice for the dogs to cool off. And they had quite a few dog toys to choose from. Highly recommend if you are looking for a place for your XXL dogs to run and romp full speed they will have plenty of room. MaryJane G.

55The open space is awesome! The amenities are beyond what I expected, and my dog, Redd, had the best time running, sniffing, and hanging out in the pool. Redd is a big dude, about 100 lbs, and the fences were very secureLili M.

55Perfect space for my dogs to run and burn energy. The doggie pool and fresh water to drink was perfect for my chocolate lab who gets over heated very easily. We will definitely be back. Stefanie N.

55This location has all you could want and more. I recently had the pleasure of discovering and experiencing SniffSpot, and I must say, it exceeded all my expectations as a dog owner. This spot was private and secure spac for my pup with a wanderlust. She was able to roam and explore freely and safely. My overall experience can be summed up in one word: phenomenal! Will absolutely be coming back and recommending to everyone I know. Kayla S.

55Kylo had a blast! Plenty of toys and treats, and a huge area to run around and sniff. If you’re tall though just watch out- the archway between spaces isn’t built for someone 6’ or over 😂Lindsey A.

55We had a great time. Our lab was worn out after 10 minutes. She doesn’t get the chance to run like that regularly. We’re gonna have to work on her stamina. 🙂 the pool was great and the big water bowls. SO MANY TOYS! Even brand new ones. Totally fenced and I didn’t have to worry at all! It was great. We got some fresh eggs also. We got home and couldn’t wait to try them. We recommend grabbing some eggs too! We’ll be coming back often. (Bonus:my kids got worn out running around too!)Julie S.

55Our small dog had a blast running around and exploring the large, well-kept yard. It’s entirely enclosed so we didn’t have to worry about our dog slipping through any fencing. The patio was lovely with comfortable seating for us human types. Our only concern was that the access from the front was a little bit precarious for my elderly mother who uses a cane; there is no paved walkway and the grass is a bit hilly which may be challenging for others with mobility issues. We will ABSOLUTELY be back! Thank you so much, Dawn! 🐶🩵 Shauna A.

55Had another great experience here as always! My dogs loveeee the wide open (AND CLEAN) space to run free and play fetch! My oldest is a big water baby and he absolutely loves the pool that's provided. And I am sooo thankful they always have fresh towels available because I always forget to bring mine 😅 I LOVE this spot and will definitely continue to bring my fur babies here!Amanda T.

FAQ about our Rio Linda 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 Rio Linda 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 130 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 15 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.
