Awesome space for the dogs to run around all over and explore. The host even provided some toys and fresh water jug and clean bowl for them! We came in the morning from 8-8:30 am and there were no neighbors walking their dogs then which was good for us. The second smaller gate is probably a little over 4 ft in height so be aware if you have an escape artist pup or very tall dog that might try to go over. Nice clean spot and friendly and communicative host!

So happy we discovered this great new sniff spot in Walnut Creek! Huge wraparound backyard with a ton of new smells that my pups loved. The owner is very communicative and thoughtful. Can’t wait to visit again 😊

This is a wonderful, dog-friendly space. My dogs were immediately ecstatic and running joyfully and at full speed around the property. We appreciated the ease of entry and the table laden with water and water bowls, cleanup bags, toys, and treats. All very thoughtful and welcoming.

Amazing spot for my dogs! Super spacious and with great areas of greenery. The outdoor space is wrapped around the property, which allowed my dogs to have some great zoomie times. There was a small spot where there was holes in the ground. Luckily, my dogs would avoid that spot when they ran around, so I wasn’t too worried about them tripping in it. The owners left bowls and poop bags for us to use. We will definitely be regulars at this spot 😄

It was so much joy to see my pups able to run free and have fun in a safe fenced yard. To me that is something I missed for them since we moved to a condo. The yard was kept nice and safe and have different landscape to keep that interesting. We are looking forward for another visit soon. Thank you for having us😊

Excellent spot provided your dog does not challenge fences. Mine do not so it was an excellent place to practice disc, plenty of shade!

Loved this place so much! I told my husband I didn't know who has more fun, me or the dogs. Our yard is being landscaped so the dogs can't run out there right now so it was great to finally have a sniffspot close by. Very cute yard and garden, so much to explore and we have very happy dogs. Given other reviews, we walked the perimeter with our dogs to make sure they couldn't get our anywhere with "low fences". We have a mini aussie and a pitty. There was one area our mini oz could've gotten out If he tried but he was content sticking to exploring and our pitty is trained so she won't jump fences. We can't wait to go back! Thanks for the water and bowls! We didn't use treats or balls but really appreciated the thoughtfulness!

Had a lovely time with our two dogs - lots of spaces to explore. Thanks for leaving water and bowls out- definitely nice as it heats up!

Spacious yard that tired out my pup! Love that it wrapped around to give him a different landscape and layout. My dog is fairly reactive but did not have any problem with the surroundings. Will be back!

Second time here and very glad to see the smaller fence now has wire covering the upper section! :) we will be back for sure

Great open space to let the dogs explore. Our two Danes enjoyed going in circles checking out every corner. All fencing was secure enough for our pups. They loved all the grass the chew on.

This was a great space for my 1 yo Border Collie to get some energy out. She enjoyed exploring, sniffing, and we worked on some toy play training. The host was very communicative and I appreciated the heads up that they might be returning home from school pick-up around the same time we arrived. We were a bit late, so did not run into them, but it was wonderful that Julian was thoughtful in letting me know ahead of time.
