55We loved this spot and the owner, her dog, and her yard were all lovely. My dog doesn’t like 99% of other dogs but actually wanted to play with hers and they did; it was a wonderful experience for him. We’ll be back often. Wendy H.

55Linda was such a kind host and our 3 dogs had the best time in her yard. So many areas to explore for them. Her dogs were in the house and quiet. We arrived a few minutes late and she graciously allowed us to stay a little later. We would definitely come back next time we are in the area! Sierra M.

55Loved it! Lots of open space, places to explore and sniff, and shade. The fence was secure for little dogs (the fence is reinforced with wire). I have a little escape artist foster dog and he was secure in the yard. Very peaceful in the morning. Definitely will be back! Niki & Ben C.

55We loved our visit to Linda’s yard! There was plenty of space for the dogs to run around and sniff, and a fresh water bowl ready for them when we arrived. A small collection of various balls was on the outdoor table for our use. We were also able to use the doggie pool, which was a kiddie/wading pool. After some time for sniffing around and chasing a ball, Linda brought out her own dog, Scooby Doo, to play with our dogs. At the end, she generously provided towels for us to dry off our dogs. Everyone had fun! Janice C.

FAQ About Rancho Santa Fe Dog Parks
Are dog parks good for dogs?
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. There could be aggressive dogs, disease transmission and cleanliness issues. For this reason, many dog behaviorists discourage visiting public dog parks and recommend Sniffspot's private dog parks. 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.
