55Booking this Sniffspot was the best decision ever!! I wanted to celebrate my dogs birthday and so we got the birthday package and I don’t think he’s ever been so happy. There was a sign on the door that said happy birthday Koda and it was written in chalk on the sidewalk!! We will for sure be coming back soon :)Marissa K.

55There was a big nice clean yard with a little bit of a hill for the dogs to run around and have a good time and also the pool is amazing super clean. Everything is super clean but the pool is so refreshing. I have a four year-old son that came with me he got in the pool as well. It was just a good time, there’s no problem escaping or seen other dogs or any kind of animals it’s completely private. It’s a cul-de-sac and it was a really good experience.. Kristal S.

55This spot was so great!! There is a decent amount of space with different terrains and textures that kept my girls sniffin’ and exploring the whole time!! But the yard isn’t so big that you can’t see your dogs (or find their poop), it’s a very visibly accessible yard in that way. We did not use the pool add on today, but we will be back to try it because it looked so refreshing! There are agility obstacles and plenty of toys in the yard to keep your pup entertained, and some nice shady seating for pawrents. I did not see or hear many other animals except for one rooster, which didn’t bother my girls but just wanted to give a heads up. Overall we really enjoyed our time at Release the Leash!!Dani C.

Beautiful 1/3 Acre Fully-Fenced Fruit-Filled Yard For Dogs To Rent In La Mesa | Sniffspot
55Jessica has such a beautiful property and the fruit trees are a very nice bonus. We have two non-dog-friendly pups so it’s always a battle finding a place for them to safely run free and just be dogs. This was our first experience with SniffSpot and our girls absolutely loved it. There is no grassy area, but there were plenty of places for the dogs to sniff, explore, and go potty. If you have a dog with arthritis or weak knees, keep in mind this property is on a hill so there are lots of stairs throughout (Our older girl likes to push her limits). There’s a very cute sitting area with a fire pit and Jessica provided us with toys, bottles of water, poop bags, a filled water bowl, and detailed instructions. There was one area where the fencing had a bit of a gap but Jessica said they are going to be securing that for future guests!! Would definitely book this spot again and our girls are currently worn out and snoring!!Yanina M.

55Love this spot and appreciated it had everything ready to go—including dog and human water. Do want to caution that it is not “fully” fenced and one area between this house and the neighbor’s house is blocked only with shrubbery that my smaller dog was able to get through. I had to rescue her over the fence which wasn’t too hard due to the way the houses are built. Not a deal breaker though and I will be back soon, just being more cautious around that area! Kim R.

55Jessica's garden yard is a true reflection of San Diego's finest outdoor living. Nestled on a scenic neighborhood hillside, her garden, with its winding paths and bountiful fruit trees, evokes the charm often showcased in publications like San Diego Home and Garden. I told her that I considered it my dream home.
My dogs were thrilled by the myriad plants and intriguing scents. They ran and played and explored only pausing to visit the inviting shaded seating area, where they could check in with me and quench their thirst with fresh water. I was so happy seeing their doggy joy!.
Jessica's was very kind and thoughtful and left me bottled water and an extensive assortment of dog toys. She was, in addition, an excellent communicator.
It was truly refreshing to unwind and watch my dogs savor every moment in such a lovely setting.

55This Sniffspot is the perfect place for high energy dogs, dogs that just like to relax and sniff around, dogs who and are curious and for every dog in between.
Nestled in a cute area of La Mesa overlooking Mt Helix, Jessica , the host truly takes pride in her space and keeps both pups and humans in mind. She was also very accommodating and great with communication.
I often get off work in the evening when the sun is going down. Many spots state they are lit at night, but upon arrival it’s very challenging to see and navigate through. This was not the case for Jessica’s home. It was very well lit and even at night I was able to appreciate the beautiful home and perfectly landscaped yard. It was complete with a pergola for shade, seats, fire pit, water bowl, water for humans, toys, and dog bags. The space has lots of different textures and levels for dogs to unleash their zoomies, sniff, play, relax. My pup loves to play hide n seek with balls this was a perfect place for it. It was really nice for me to relax after a long day of work as well. —BONUS: she has fruit trees that she welcomes you to pick from!!
My pup and I feel genuinely lucky that someone like Jessica is generous enough to share her space with others. We we will definitely be returning regularly and cannot wait to appreciate it in the daylight! 1000% recommend this Sniffspot!

55My dog had a great time at Jessica’s place. I hung out underneath the pergola and watched her run laps around the big perimeter of the yard and sniff like crazy. This place is a unique spot because I think it’s just as nice for humans as it is dogs. The string lights added a great vibe if you go later in the day. We used some of the toys Jessica left out for us, perfect for fetch. The filled water bowl was also a great touch. My dog was tuckered out completely when we left. Ethan I.

55Jessica’s beautiful backyard was perfect for my pup and me! It’s a wide mulch and gravel filled yard with lots of different levels for your dog to run around for exercise. Tons of good smells for stimulation as well. I really enjoyed how relaxing the backyard was, it felt peaceful and private. The garden plants and flowers were so lovely too, you can tell the place is well-cared for. The fruit trees were a cool bonus, took home some grapefruit! The backyard was secure and fully fenced with no noticeable gaps, so it looks like the prior review’s issue got resolved. We’ll definitely be back soon! Sarah M.

55What a gorgeous property!! We had an amazing morning at Jessica’s backyard. She was so kind to put out water bottles and dog toys for us, and even instructions with the WiFi password (I was able to actually get a little work done while we were there). My dog had a blast exploring all the different unique areas of the yard, lots of good sniffs! It felt like walking along a botanical garden trail in some parts. The big jacaranda and pecan trees offered great shade in this heat. We will absolutely be back, I think this is one of my dog’s favorite spots we’ve visited! Thank you for hosting! Alexis Z.

FAQ about our Lakeside dog agility parks
Are dog agility parks safe?
While public off-leash dog parks have a number of safety issues, such as aggressive dogs, inattentive owners, disease transmission and general cleanliness, Sniffspot dog parks are much safer than city parks. Contrary to a typical dog park, 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 guests so you can find the perfect safe place for you and your dog. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits are 5 stars. As always, ensuring you use park dog agility equipment safely is also key to an enjoyable experience.
How do I know if a dog agility park works for my dog?
Owners commonly wonder about whether a park works for their dog. Start by applying basic filters, such as fencing and distractions, to find a fenced dog agility park that works for your dog. You can also filter on size to find a larger park or neighborhood parks. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our fully fenced dog agility parks. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our dog agility parks where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can read the description of the spot to see the details of the set up, such as whether there is commercial grade park equipment, and other amenities, such as park benches. Browse photos to get a sense for park design. We also recommend reading reviews and reaching out to the host with any questions, and of course, checking agility park hours.
What are the requirements to bring my dog to a Sniffspot agility park?
We require that all dogs have basic vaccinations or equivalent titers. We do not allow dogs with a bite history. We require that guests sign our waiver and agree to follow our safety rules. Treat all park equipment with respect and care.
Will there be other dogs at the Sniffspot agility 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 agility parks cost?
Dog agility parks in the Lakeside area range from $4.0 and $27.0. The least expensive dog agility park is Fully Fenced Yard in La Mesa. The most expensive dog agility park is Fenway's Runway. Each host sets their own price, so you can check the price on the specific Sniffspot dog park listing.
