55Shay was so kind and helpful. Her yard is perfect for swimming and playing. Jax and I live in an apartment, and it is wonderful to have the opportunity to take Jax swimming occasionally, as it is one of his favorite activities. I highly recommend Shay's place; we will definitely return.Elisa L.

Shay & Scotts- Fully Fenced Yard With Pool Oasis- For Dogs To Rent In Carmichael 🐶🏝🐶 | Sniffspot
55I’ve been hoping someone nearby would open their pool up for dogs this summer! Shay &
& Scott’s backyard the perfect little oasis!
I got to meet both Shay and Scott. Both were both very welcoming and were great with my dogs. Before arriving, Shay had reached out to see if it was okay to say hello to the dogs, and I warned her that Cecil could be quite shy. To my surprise, Cecil was totally at ease with both Shay and Scott. I was delighted!
I brought Violet’s favorite floaty toy, but there were a few toys available for visitors to use.
There was clean water for dogs and Shay offered me water as well. The pool and yard are beautiful. It is a FABULOUS yard for a dog to explore because there are many little areas to check out. I’m working on recall with my dogs, so it was a good place to safely let them get distracted and then try to get them to come back on their own.
The pool is also great for dogs who are just learning about water, since there are multiple shallow areas of the pool. One of my dogs avoided swimming but spent some time on one of the shallow areas.
There was a sad neighbor’s dog whining on the other side of the fence, so if you have a highly reactive dog that might be an issue. I’d consider one of my dogs to be moderately reactive and she was WAY more interested in the pool than in the other dog. But, if you know your dog will struggle with that, it might not be the best fit.
Before we left, Shay even brought some treats out and asked if my dogs could have one. She was such a great host. She gets 5 stars from me and from the dogs!
This will definitely be a spot I will return to!Robin V.

Anthony's Fully Fenced Yard For Dogs To Rent In Carmichael | Sniffspot
55So much pressure being the first review. Anthony & Gail were friendly and kind to take Ruby & I last minute, even making sure Ruby had a bowl of water as it was warm today. Ruby had an awesome time! It’s a smaller yard, but plenty big enough to use her favorite tennis ball gun! She was even brave enough to go under some dense tree branches, which means she felt safe. Parts of the grass were dry, but she loved “dusting it up catching balls!” There were no other dogs barking through the fence or other interruptions, just ball chasing fun! Gina L.

55This was my first SniffSpot and it was the best experience ever. Lauren's backyard is incredibly huge and clean. The grass is green and the pups had an incredible time. We threw a small birthday party for our pup with her 4 friends and they had a blast running. All of them knocked out after getting home!! There was water and toys left for us. Cassie W.

55This spot was really nice! Lots of shade! Grass was green and had a very nice place for humans to sit… had water, toys and a few treats… kiddie pool in the back of the yard… we booked for 2 hours so we could just relax a bit and I’m glad we did!

55This is probably the cleanest Sniffspot I’ve ever visited! My dogs had a wonderful time exploring the yard and rolling around in the lush green grass. Fencing was secure except for one board of fencing that is loose. I didn’t even notice it until some people walked by that area and my chihuahua mix ran over to investigate. I realized the host had placed a circular concrete slab near the fence so I just leaned that up against the loose board and there was no more issue! Overall, this is a very clean, quiet, and secure Sniffspot and we will be back for sure! Montessa G.

55Perfect spot for my pup! Plenty of areas to sniff and green grass to run around or lay in. Lots of toys (balls, frisbee, rope toys) and a kiddie pool. My pup and his friend had a great time! Loved the icewater for the humans and awesome sitting area with Adirondack chairs.

FAQ About Carmichael 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.

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.
