55The spot is fenced securely the whole way around. There is a lot of space and privacy. Easy to walk with your dog. Some signs of rod runner and rabbits which my dog loved to sniff. The area was clean and easy to walk. With lots of variety for Grace. Easy for her old mother to navigate. A previous guest
Left some dog waste just as I entered but other than that nice and very clean. I took our doggie baggies and I’m just saying this to remind guests to please clean up after yourselfs. This place is so awesome I want it to remain here. The owner even left water for us and our dog. So sweet and thoughtful. Thanks for this great space loved it!!!! My burst visit. I’ll take pictures when I go back today.Helen B.

55Maple & Zay had an absolute blast! This was our first sniffspot so we weren’t sure what to expect but Araceli is very nice & was there to help if we needed. There’s more than enough room for all of the zoomies and then some!! The pool was the PERFECT temp! My pups were knocked out the whole ride home after our booking. She has everything you could think of that you would need; sunscreen, towels, free drinks/snacks, poop bags & so much more. It felt so good watching my pups have the best time here. 10/10 would come back & we can’t wait for our next visit at pawsitively zen!

55Our experience at Araceli's SnifSpot was truly unforgettable. Araceli was a communicative and gracious host, creating a clean, safe environment perfect for our dogs. They absolutely loved the well-maintained pool and playing freely. The unexpected bonus of delicious snacks made the visit even more enjoyable. This top-notch spot is a must-visit for any dog lover. We'll definitely be back for more fun!Rob C.

55You're the best Araceli! I love that it can be 90+ degrees and it's still a perfect day to visit your place because of all the shaded seating and tree areas and water areas for your guests and dogs. I was a little worried about bringing my mom out in the heat, but she was comfortable and loved the property.
This is a fun, safe place to beat the heat with your loved ones and fur babies!Dorecca S.

55We went for our 2nd time but it was our first evening visit. My dogs already knew what door to go through as soon as we jumped out the car! Haha Araceli left us some yummy human snacks and cold drinks. The pool was super clean and felt amazing now that summer is kicking in. The nighttime is definitely a chill vibe because of the beautiful lights. The host is super friendly and my dogs immediately were friendly to her (dogs know who dog people are lol). She really makes us feel comfortable and right at home. Not only is it good for our dogs, but even for us people, we need to intentionally set time aside to relax and unwind a bit. Love this place so much!Crystal E.

55This time around I brought my foster dogs. Two small dogs, one chihuahua & one terrier. They are very skittish & scared/survival mode but this place had them smiling & relaxed the whole time!!! They didn’t even pay much attention to the chickens or turkeys. I relaxed on the swinging chair and it felt so comfortable. This is one of the first times I come at sunset & it’s even more beautiful at night with the lights! Araceli as always was a sweet host and left us some yummy human snacks, cold drinks and cookies! I’m gonna have to start booking 2 hr slots because that 1 hr definitely goes by fast. Also, make sure to wear some light insect repellent, since there is water, more bugs and mosquitoes are present.

55So as a first time user of sniff spot I really enjoyed this place. From the outdoor changing room to the complimenting drinks and snacks and also dog treats. To just the layout in general I enjoyed very much. Someone else had mentioned that an hour wasn't enough and they are right. I will have to book next time for at least 2 hours just to relax a little longer and enjoy the pool with my dogs overall would recommend and definitely going to book again Michael M.

I always look forward to a cold drink from the fridge & the yummy cookies 🍪 Araceli leaves for us humans! I love sitting on the tree swings.. so relaxing. Beautiful backyard with beautiful vibes!❤️Crystal E.

55One of the most amazing spots you could take your dog to! It’s so much fun and my dogs absolutely loved it. Be aware that there are chickens and turkeys and while they were in a secure pen, I did feel bad that my dog would go over and bark at the turkey. I think he was a bit intimidated by the size lol. The host was incredibly sweet and friendly, I really hope to go back one of these days! Lily F.

FAQ about our Sky Valley 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.
