Winter Creek Dog Park In San Jose

Fully Fenced
0.5 acres

June 22: The parking area to the fully-fenced area have been mowed short. We have tried to eliminate as many foxtails as possible. I am waiting on a tractor service for the hillside - the grass is taller w/ foxtails so recommend avoiding until it is mowed. SUMMER: Recommend AM visits before 10am or evening after 5pm. Our spot is full sun with very limited shade. We are trying to eliminate the foxtails but we have a large property and cannot guarantee we get all of them. **Horses visible in adjacent property occasionally Additionally, guests can enjoy the adjacent hillside which is partially-fenced. You are welcome to enjoy this off-leash or, if you're more comfortable, take a little stroll through the grass. NOTE: There may be foxtails and ticks in this area.

Sterlyng's Private Dog Park In Morgan Hill (Optional Pool Extra add-on)

Partially Fenced
10 acres

We are on 10 acres and would love to share our yard with you. Beautiful Mountain View’s amongst grape vines with gravel pathways. On the interior portion of the park is a dirtbike track with a more rugged terrain and incline walking. Definitely more weeds, but if you are looking for a more off road feeling this is another option aside from the full pathway around the perimeter of the dirtbike track. This time of year the grapevines are a beautiful with lots of beautiful green foliage. We do also have a cool off spot in the front of the house under a very large old pine tree with roses to smell while your dog has their belly on the cool green grass by their water bowl in the shade. Where your new morning or afternoon ritual begins. Please note: Pool is an ‘extra’ charge. You can add this item as an extra while adding this spot to your cart. Not included in base charge. PUP PARTIES 🎉🥳🎈🎁🐶🐾🎈🎁🎉 We are still new to SniffSpot but have been asked multiple times recently if we would host pup parties. This is something I have not yet put a price point on but can make this feasible as well. If you are interested in coordinating something, please message me and I can send you SniffSpot items available for parties. (i.e. BBQ, Tables, chairs, shaded areas, pool time. etc)

Private swimming hole in the redwoods. Please read all "rules" and all "access instructions" after booking.

Partially Fenced
2 acres

This is a private, undeveloped, forested spot. If you are interested in this spot, you and your dog should be up for a mini adventure. This spot is not a manicured, backyard park. It is wild and beautiful, and a rare find in this area. THERE IS NO TRASH SERVICE AT THIS FOREST LOCATION. PACK EVERYTHING OUT WITH YOU, INCLUDING DOG POOP BAGGIES. The trail starts at the west (downhill) end of the parking spot, and winds downhill to the creek (there are a couple of switchbacks). The trail from the parking area to the creek is less than 5 minutes long. At the bottom of the trail, is a deck. Beyond the deck is a year-round creek with a swimming hole. There are fish, frogs, newts, and crawdads. All wildlife is protected, so please don't catch or remove them. You may walk up and down along the creek exploring, as long as you turn around before the bend that is downstream. The trail that leads downhill to the creek is intermediate, not for beginners or flip-flops. There should be no poison oak or ticks on the trail, but if you venture off the trail, you may encounter poison oak or ticks. There are blackberry bushes to the sides of the trail that resemble poison oak. There should be no foxtails. You may see wild animals. As a wild spot, you may encounter typical hazards that are present in most local forest trails, such as wildlife, water, and trip-and-fall hazards. This is a private spot, and there should be no other people or dogs during your booking. If you see someone during your booking, please let us know as soon as possible, so that we can take steps to prevent them from trespassing again. There is no lighting at this spot, so if you book before sunrise or after sunset, please bring a headlamp or flashlight. Maximum 2 people per dog. There is no trash collection service at this location, so please pack out any trash. Thank you!

2/3 Acre Fully Fenced Private Dog Agility field

Fully Fenced
0.5 acres

Our Sniffspot is located on a quiet dead end in the back of Montara, CA. It is fully fenced. It contains 2 fields, a lower and upper, both suitable for use. I will have agility courses set up a portion of the time. Please do not move equipment if there is a numbered course set up. You are free to use tunnels and jumps, but please be careful on the contact obstacles if they are set up. Please watch your dogs and do not allow them to mark the obstacles, tunnels, jumps or weave poles. If they do, can you kindly rinse with the watering can. Do not place any human items or treats on the dog walk. Do not rest or lean on the dog walk. It is an expensive piece of equipment, not a table. Note: there are chickens and horses next door at times, please do not allow your dogs to bark or charge the fence at them. Also, do not let your dogs repeatedly run up to the horses if they are near the fence, and potentially scare them. They are not as visible from the lower field. I have an older dog that sometimes barks from inside the house but she is not visible. Thanks for exploring our Sniffspot!

St. Stephen's in-the-Field Episcopal Church's Fully Fenced Yard In San Jose

Fully Fenced
0.02 acres

Hello! We’re just getting started hosting with Sniffspot and are excited to host you! Please let us know what we can do to improve the space. A past guest let us know we needed better signage, so we got a bright blue sign printed and hung it on the fenced area. Another guest mistook the community garden (incompletely fenced) for the play area (completely fenced). If you see vegetables, the area is not completely fenced! You're welcome to explore, just be respectful of the gardeners and plants please. The avocado tree overhanging the play area is dropping fruit right now, so if your dog likes to eat random stuff on the ground please be careful! The play area is tucked between St Stephen’s in-the-Field Episcopal Church and the left hand fence (turn from Santa Teresa Blvd onto Avenida España, then take the first right and head to the back). There are two churches on the lot, ours is at the back, with ample off street parking and lots of gardens to explore, in addition to the enclosed play space. Feel free to message with any questions!

55This was our Second time to this Sniffspot and it absolutely reinforced that it is an absolute paradise. It’s a place where our sensitive and reactive dog can have a safe space and reset his nervous system a bit.

55Great spot with spacious space for dogs to explore! Both of our dogs had a blast there. The spot has a great mix of meadow, hill, tree, and our dogs kept exploring for the whole 1.5 hours. The spot is also in a quiet neighborhood so our dogs really enjoyed it with peace of mind (one of them is leash reactive to dogs).

55Our dog loved this Sniffspot! Plenty of space to run around. A kiddie pool to cool down after running. Plenty of balls to chase. A mixture of sun and shade so should be good in all weather. A little poison oak to watch out for, but there's so much space it's not too hard to avoid. We'll definitely be back!

55This is a small but really well set up Sniffspot. There were all sorts of toys and fun things for the pups to get into. Jasmine had puzzles with treats, a peanut butter lick bar, balls, pull toys, and some other things to engage the pups. it is probably only about 50 feet by 15-20 feet wide so maybe best suited for smaller dogs OR dogs who need training places (which mine do.) I have two 2 year old very high energy working dog siblings (border collies) so we are working on the relaxation protocols as well as just generally having fun. Having a place away from home where I know they are safe is great. There was just enough distraction for them to be challenged but engaged in some of the training. As you can see from the pictures, they also had a bunch of fun with all the toys. The fence is secure and high. If your dog has food allergies you might want to check with Jasmine first about the treats....but mine were in heaven. Border Collies being what they are, the puzzles were undone in about 10 seconds........I could hear some dogs in the distance walking by (this is in the city of Santa Cruz) but it was the perfect amount of distraction for my training. I don't think it was within 50 feet at all (which is one of the questions) And, I didn't see any other dogs....

55The road in was a bit rough but it was well worth the trip. Our dog got to be free off leash in the wonderful mountain woods. We got to enjoy the fresh mountain air without being crowded in a too full public park. It was much fun meeting the chickens, horses and piggy and the host was very friendly and kind.

55I was so happy to have found this location!! Carrie made scheduling so simple and the space was amazing! Tons of room for my pup to run free and be a dog! Totally fenced in, lots of grass for her to roll in and a good hill for her to get some exercise on. Can’t recommend this enough! It will be a weekly occurrence for us!

55Sniffspot and this location is a dream come true! I am so happy someone started this business. This spot is and secure and has a tons of interesting areas for pups to explore. My pups are highly prey driven and besides running abroad they chased birds and lizards out of bushes. Its a blessing to see them enjoy doing what they truly are bred to do. It is up a steep hill but worth it. The area is open and sunny.

55Great place for our younger Golden Retriever to run and our older Golden to sniff around and be the explorer. We did discover a few ticks on them in the car on the way home which were easily plucked off when we pulled over to get them off (next time we'll bring a tick comb). The property is big and peaceful with lots of room to run. I would recommend it especially for dogs that would enjoy room to run for long distances (ours chases tennis balls). The road to get to the house is steep for about 1/4 mile (or less) but if you drive slowly and carefully, it's no problem. I really appreciated the quick response from the owner and the easy of the app which I had just discovered the same morning we booked.

55Our dogs had a great time at this Sniffspot! It's a really nice big yard so our older dog had lots to explore and our younger dog had plenty of room to chase the ball. The host had water out for them and even offered us poop bags which was very nice of her, and she was very friendly. She has chickens but put them inside before we arrived because I thought our dogs might chase them. Really nice big space for the doggos! My photo doesn't do justice to the size of the area.
