55The yard was nice and shady with plenty of areas to sit. We were greeted with a nice welcome sign, ball, poop bags, hand sanitizer and a bowl of fresh water for the dogs. We did not see or hear anyone and even my nervous rescue was able to relax and wander. The host, Colleen, communicated with me via text and was amazing. The fence looks new and is very high with no fear of dogs getting out.
I would highly recommend and we will be back!
Thank you Colleen!

55This was a really perfect space for my very reactive dog. No people, no dogs that she could see. She was relaxed (for her) and able to engage and focus on me for a short training session on her first visit here. Annie T.

55The yard is clean, spacious and has lots of shade for hot days. Apollo had the best time exploring and roaming the area off leash! It was fun, private and safe for all of us! Colleen is the sweetest host! She left out water, treats, towels and sanitizer. I highly recommend this Sniffspot as a top spot!!!Sonya M.

55My puppy & I loved it! The check in was seamless and contactless which worked well for my shy puppy as he was comfortable from the beginning. They left a couple balls and bowl of water out which my puppy loved throughout his entire time there. The yard was very clean and they had cute hanging lights on at sunset. Andrea H.

55This place was nice and clean. Very welcoming with the adorable welcome sign for us, and treats for the doggos. Spacious yard, but a little bit on the smaller end for two big dogs, but definitely still worked! Will be back in the future. Laura S.

55Absolutely fantastic! Perfect yard, completely secure fence. The yard is lovely and flat, and our dog loved zooming around. Colleen left a sweet welcome note with some supplies and we loved that personal touch! Just lovely. Also some fun balls for the dog to play with. He had a blast and we can’t wait to return. One note is that we chose this yard because of the nice tall solid wooden fence. Our dog can climb hog wire fences, so this nice wooden fence was a real gem to find. He was so secure. See you soon! :DHolden W.

55My husband, dog and I had a wonderful time at Colleen’s sniffspot. The yard was beautiful, a lovely sitting area, enough room for my dog to play frisbee and ball and lots of good sniffing opportunities. I booked this an hour or so before arrival and there was a cute sign out welcoming me, treats for the dog, hand sanitizer and hand towels. Not only did my dog have fun but my husband and I did too! We loved swinging on the swing! We will be back!Melanie L.

FAQ about our Santa Rosa 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 Santa Rosa?
There are 49 small dog parks in the Santa Rosa 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.
