Top Public & Private Dog Parks in Carmichael, CA

This was our second time and this time we brought our other two dogs. They had a great time, it was their first time really swimming. They did so good and had a blast. This is definitely our favorite spot for our dogs and will be returning often!

Scott and Shay were so kind before, during and after our visit. Shay met our pup who is sensitive with new people, so she was slow and patient and he did very well meeting her. He seemed to really like her! The backyard was amazing and the pool was perfect. It was our dogs first time swimming and he was unsure but loved laying on the flat part of the pool. I had a fun time swimming too, worth the extra fee so my husband and I could swim. We will definitely be coming back with Peabody and our other two dogs. This was our first time using sniff spot and it was a perfect introduction to how it all works. It was relaxing and so much fun. Can't wait to come back!

Had so much fun and felt so welcomed! We stayed for an hour and a half but definitely coming back for more! One of my top spots now!! Thank you so much!

This was such a peaceful yard! The pool is great with a big shallow step for the dogs. When you arrive they have a welcome sign with your pets name and had treats and water out.

Scott and Shay’s pool and yard are the perfect hangout to cool off for pups and humans alike! The area is clean and parking is easy too. There is a beautiful hammock too and some grassy area which my dog took advantage of before venturing into the pool. It was the first time I took Oreo swimming. I acclimated him with a life jacket for several days prior, but he was super anxious with it on so we took it off. The pool has several ledges so you can get your feet wet without going in all the way. One ledge was about 4 ft by 3 ft which was perfect for Oreo to get use to the water first. Shay had water bottles, towels and umbrellas out for us over the pool area too which was much appreciated. Apparently my Oreo knows how to swim 😅 and was having a ball once he got his sea legs on! He didn’t want to leave the pool when our time was up. Shay came out to chat with us before we left and offered Oreo with some treats. We are definitely coming back for another visit! 🥰 🙌 🐾 🐾

Beautiful backyard and lovely hosts! We had a great time at this spot, the backyard has plenty of seating and shaded areas (including a hammock). We were greeted by the hosts and a sign welcoming our dogs. They played music for us and also had water for both us and our pups. Will definitely return!

Scott and Shay were amazing hosts! They have such a beautiful backyard and they are so nice to offer it up for use. They were very welcoming from the first minute we arrived at their house, and continued to be great hosts until we left. We will be back for sure!

Thanks for a nice swim! Shay and Scott were very accommodating and even gave Lucy at treat at the end!

Shay 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.

I’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!

Shay graciously welcomed us into her backyard on time, her backyard was as described, beautifully decorated, the pool was perfect for our two dogs, they fetched with the ball in and out of the pool. Shay made sure to make us feel completely welcome and offered us water, and brought out a doggy bowl of water for our pups. We will be back!

So 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!

Quiet space with plenty of room to run around and lots of grass to sniff! My dog had a great time!

Always my favorite sniffspot. Someone decided he wanted to try the water feature. He also found a big stick. We love our visits here!

A great spot! Plenty of space for your pups to run and a good amount of shade. Lauren left out some water and toys. We hope to return soon.

Our pup had a great time running around and getting all his energy out. Very nice sized yard even for big dogs to run around. Lots of shade and seats for people to relax on. Good amount of balls, frisbees and ropes for play as well as treats for your dogs. We will definitely be back!

This 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.

This 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!

Loved it, ample space for my fetch loving boy. Had a place to toss poop and a water bowl. Will be coming back!

This 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!
