55This was a great sniffspot! Everything was as described and the owner was responsive and helpful. It was just the right size for our German Shorthaired Pointer. Even though sniffspot didn’t even notify the owner that we we had reserved her listing, the backyard was still clean and ready for us. It was the perfect afternoon for our dog, and we plan on coming back again!Ronni N.

55This backyard was wonderful for our dog! Kristen had poop bags available and Luca loved the sprinkler! Our dog is not a swimmer so we did not go in the pool. We brought a tennis ball and just ran around for the hour. He was happy to sniff, play fetch, and lay on the patio in the shade. We brought our own water and bowl. It was a perfect morning for him!

55This is a quiet space. My dogs don’t swim but we enjoyed using the length of the back wall to play fetch. I didn’t bring a water bowl but borrowed a Home Depot bucket for the girls. Katrina S.

55Kristen’s neighborhood & backyard is beautiful! My dog is half fish & didn’t get out of the pool once. My other dog isn’t a swimmer but enjoyed playing fetch on the clean turf. The only issue was her dogs were barking at the glass slider door which wasn’t great for my reactive female. Otherwise perfect 👌🏻Courtney B.

55We had a great time in Kristin’s backyard. It was super clean, and then we have the availability of a hose  and sprinkler. There’s also a Pool  but my giant Doberman isn’t interested in swimming instead, we played facts for a long time and then he relaxed in the shade in between there is no dog water bowl, so bring your own or I just filled up the bucket that I saw in the backyard, and there are pooper scooper bags available Christine B.

55I recently had the pleasure of booking a SniffSpot with a pool for my furry friend, and it was an absolute delight.
Upon arriving at the SniffSpot, I was blown away by the beautiful setting. The property was surrounded by lush trees and foliage, and the pool area was clean and inviting.
My dog, who absolutely loves swimming, had the time of her life splashing around in the pool. She also enjoyed exploring the rest of the SniffSpot, which was quite spacious and offered plenty of shade and grassy areas for her to roam around and get all the good sniffs.
Overall, I would highly recommend this SniffSpot to anyone looking for a fun and relaxing place for their pup to play. Adrianna L.

FAQ about our Las Cruces 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 can I find small dog parks in Las Cruces?
There are 12 small dog parks in the Las Cruces area. The most popular small dog park is . You can browse all of our small dog parks here.
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.
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.
