55My dog had fun playing fetch at this Sniffpot today! Parking was easy to find, and the directions were clear. The privacy fence was perfect, because there were a few dogs out for walks when I visited in the morning. My dog left tired and happy!Alison W.

55Beautiful and Quiet! Had a very fun and chill time at Cari’s. Parking was easy, the neighborhood was quiet, and the backyard was a dog lover’s dream. Cari provided bags, water and toys. Harvey had a great time!
One accessibility note - like a lot of Seattle homes there’s some rocky stairs in the back that can be hard to traverse. Photo included so people are aware. Harvey loved running up and down themNicole B.

55Beautiful, quiet Crown Hill property. The back yard is terraced: take the stone steps up to a grassy area that has both sun and shade and is great for ball tossing or back-rolling. Very secure; no gaps. The host provides all you need, including really good toys!Ruthanne R.

55We had a great time at the Cari’s for a littermate gathering with three Cavapoo puppies. The neighborhood was quiet and conveniently close to Swanson's nursery. The backyard was private, well-maintained, and had a nice mix of sunny and shaded areas. The puppies had such great time running around and wrestling in the large lawn in the upper area while humans appreciated many seating options including the picnic table in the lower area with the water feature and the tree shade to relax. It was a good space to give a puppy a quick break from other pups when they are too excited. All the necessary amenities were provided, including a big bowl of fresh water. The host was super friendly and helpful throughout the booking process (it was my first time using a Sniffspot) and greeted us upon arrival. Thank you for the great first Sniffspot experience!Kay T.

55Thank you so much for sharing your backyard with my family! Our dog, Baldr had a great time. He’s a small dog and this was a grand adventure for him. He got to have his zoomies and so many sniffs! He did try to go behind the sheds but it was secure. He also had a few moments where he could not understand why no one was letting him into the house 😂
Now that we have returned home, he has promptly fallen asleep on the couch. A true success!
We will be booking again very soon!Renee M.

55Cari’s is a wonderful spot - lots of upper yard for the dogs to run around and there are toys, water, wipes, bags and even a little garbage can. There are places to sit and it’s all fenced in. My three dogs loved it!!!Christine C.

55Decent-sized, secure yard for romping. The neighborhood was very quiet during our visit. It will probably be quite muddy as the winter progresses, so bring a towel for dirty paws. Allegra A.

FAQ about our Courtenay small dog parks
Are small dog parks safe?
While public dog parks have a number of safety issues, such as aggressive dogs, disease transmission and general cleanliness, Sniffspot dog parks are much safer than public dog parks. With Sniffspot all bookings are private for just you and dogs you bring with you and we require all dogs to be vaccinated (or have equivalent titers). All Sniffspot locations are vetted and reviewed by park users so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits are 5 stars.

How do I know if a small dog park works for my dog?
Start by applying basic filters, such as fencing and distractions, to find a dog park that works for your furry friends. If your dog doesn't respond to owner commands, you can visit one of our enclosed dog park areas. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our small dog park sites where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can see any park amenities provided, including a park bench, water for dogs or water features such as kiddie pool or water hose. If your dog loves water, you can go to a park with water features, but if they don't love water, you can avoid them. We also recommend reading reviews to check for park maintenance issues and reaching out to the host with any questions. And lastly, of course, check park hours. Many of our parks are open from dawn until dusk.
What are the requirements to bring my dog to a Sniffspot park?
We require that all dogs have basic vaccinations or equivalent titers. We do not allow dogs with a bite history. We require that owners sign our waiver and agree to follow our safety rules. We also require that pet owners follow safety protocols around water features.
Will there be other dogs at the Sniffspot park at the same time as me?
Sniffspot only allows one booking at a time and any host dogs are required to be kept away from the spot during visits. We also enforce 30 min time buffers between bookings.
How much do Sniffspot small dog parks cost?
Small dog parks in the Courtenay area range from $5.0 and $30.0. The least expensive small dog park is Nora's Sniffspot. The most expensive small dog park is Sierrah's Fully Fenced Yard For Dogs To Rent In Powell River.

Can I have an event or party at a small dog park?
If you are planning an amazing small dog park party, each Sniffspot park has their own rules regarding special events. Many parks allow doggie birthday parties, training, water parties and other event types. Event organizers need to be responsible for their guests and event organizers should coordinate with the host regarding their fun party. Make sure the park has amenities you need for your party, such as a park with lots of picnic tables with park benches.
