55The space was great and very clean! They had two water bowls already filled and toys available. There was shade under the main patio and an extra canopy set up for us. Will use this spot again and try the pool next time! Stephanie S.

55Great backyard and pool! Easy access and very nice and serene. It was a great pool to help our dog recovering from an ACL tear to do some water therapy👌🏼Eve C.

55The host was super welcoming and easy to communicate with and the space was clean and easy to access.
Things that may be helpful for others to know:
-There are parts of the fence that are lower than the listed 5ft, but there is a bamboo-like privacy screen that is always that tall (the fence just isn’t).
-The entrance gate is much shorter than 5ft and has enough of a gap under the gate that a small dog who is a flight risk could potentially get out
-As mentioned in the description, some dogs are seen/heard on occasion. If you have a dog reactive dog (which are often the dogs that need sniff spots), this may not be the right fit as the neighbor dog on the other side of the fence line is reactive and will run the fence line barking if your dog is near
-Plenty of space and toys and beds and a shady spot and water (the bully stick and Kong in the photo are mine, but there was a bunch of other fun stuff)
-Ample street parking
-Overall great spot, but might not be right for every dog :)Jessica S.

55Exactly as pictured and described. The fence is a mix of fence in the bottom and bamboo on top but that was enough to not give the dogs the idea to jump. Lots of toys and water available - my pup lived the kiddie pool!
Very fair price & value!
Thanks!!Kiera G.

55Close to the freeway, convenient to park in the driveway. There were plenty of toys available and Ken left a bunch of bowls and a kiddie pool with fresh water. Our boys ran around and played completely unbothered. Great first experience for us. Puppy P.

55Ken’s place was great. Entirely fenced in and enough space for my little guy to do some chasing and play fetch. There were lots of toys and water available too, which was really nice. We hope to be back. Maya S.

55The spot was exactly as described. Clean and plenty of room for zoomies. The neighbor’s dog on the full length side of the fence came out briefly to run with my foster dog along the fence. Very friendly and didn’t bark at us. Parking was easy. Can’t wait to visit again. Le H.

55Such fun! We added pool time this visit and my little dog loved riding around on his boogie board. Taylor thinks of everything to make the visit a success. She had pool toys, towels(!) shade, and sun! Thanks for a great afternoon.Tracy S.

55Great spot! I have a 54 pound German Shepherd and there was plenty of room
to play ball. But the sniffs! My dog had her nose stuck to the ground investigating every inch of this yard having the sniffari of her dreams.
The neighborhood is quiet and the yard is spotless. We had plenty of space to work on her obedience and tracking skills. And ball, ball, ball!
I’m definitely going to rent the pool. It looks great. I promise to give her a massive brushing before I do! (So should everyone 😉 )
P.S. it has a very high, safe fence. Mary P.

FAQ about our El Centro dog parks

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.
