Palmhill is a working organic farm. One may observe an employee come and go from time to time but it would be just occasionally and for the briefest length of time. There is never an occasion when an employee would ever interact with a guest or their dog/s.

There is a self-serve chainlink gate in the northeast corner of the Sniffspot Field right off Mactan Road. I suggest backing up to and through the gate, park, make sure to close the gate, and then simply release the hounds! This way, you'll be within the 3 acre enclosed, fully-fenced Sniffspot venue where you'll have exclusive use of the space for the period of time that you're booked. There, you'll find fresh filtered water for your canine kiddos, an abundance of toys, Chuckit balls and launchers, and guest supplies. Please make yourself at home and have fun! 🐾♥️🐾♥️🐾♥️

Description

The Sniffspot venue is a 3 acre fully fenced area that you and your dog will have unsupervised, exclusive use of for the time that you have booked. There, you will find fresh filtered (RO) water for your canine companions, an abundance of toys, Chuckit balls and launchers, including guest supplies and other listed amenities. The entire farm is 36 fenced acres. For anyone interested, I will gladly provide supervised walks around the entire property for additional psychological enrichment at no additional cost. Note: Palmhill is a working organic farm. There may be an occasional worker sighting, but absolutely no reason for any employee to ever interact with a guest or their dogs. My interests lie in offering an affordable, stress-free, large, safe, clean, offleash venue for guests and their canine companions. Thanks to an awesome group of guests who have been with us since first opening the venue, this has been a very rewarding experience. However, there have been, a few guests who have not been doing a very good job of cleaning up after their own dogs which makes it very unpleasant for the guests who come in to the venue next. I have many visitors who pick up dog droppings of other people's dogs and don't say a word, and also return toys and balls to the recepticles, but they shouldn't have to! I actually had a guest say to me once, "Oh, I thought you had people to do that!" No, everyone is responsible for cleaning up after themselves before they leave the field. That's how we keep the venue tidy and affordable! I don't think that's an unreasonable expectation. I've had to post a list of reminders at the venue, (thank you, Michele) which I feel terrible about because they're not relevant for the MAJOROTY of Palmhill's guests. It's just a handful of mostly newer guests who aren't being very team friendly. I've met some awesome people and even more so awesome dogs, but sorry to say, if you don't play fair, you will be asked not to come back to this venue. Everyone is welcome including, large groups, highly reactive dogs, special needs dogs- dogs with anxiety, physical handicaps, previous dog park trauma dogs, etc. We love them all and will do our best to make everyone feel welcome! Thanks so much for your support! 🐾❤️🐾

Cleanliness

100% of guests said this spot was as clean as expected during their visit.

Hazards

HOST NOTE

There is always the possibility of a venomous snake during rattlesnake season! Be Observant during those months that rattlers may be out and about! My own dogs have all had the Rattlesnake vaccine and boosters just in case, as well as avoidance training. Rattlers are part of the Southern California landscape, period. Although I've never seen one on this property, we do occasionally see Gopher snakes or (my favorite) the majestic King snake! It would be foolish to pretend like Rattlers couldn't be here, somewhere. It's best to be vigilant, particularly if you see your dog fixated on something "in the grass." Be safe, have fun!

Additional rules

Sorry, but in an effort to avoid any last minute surprises, I'm going to ask for at least a 12 hour window before making any changes to your scheduled visits once booked. Please don't allow your dog to dig holes in the Sniffspot venue as it creates a hazard for other dogs that may be running in the space. Sorry to say, but many guests are not doing a very thorough job of picking up their dogs' droppings! In order to keep a clean venue for all to enjoy, I ask that everyone do their best to clean up after their dog\dogs. Also, please return all toys and balls to their assigned recepticles before leaving the field. Thank you! Enjoy!

"This field is huge! My dogs had an amazing time running around and exploring 😍 There is shade under the trees, and the part that wasn't fenced in wasn't an issue for us. If your dogs don't have solid recall, stick to the fenced side. The whole place is so big, you shouldn't have a problem getting a good amount of walking/running in, without coming too close to the un-fenced side. I walked around for about 2 miles, and I'm guessing my dogs probably did twice that 😆 The host was nice and allowed extra time, because I took a wrong turn coming there and was late to my booked time. We will definitely be back."

Do you love hiking or walking your pup in a natural setting with loads of smells and places to explore?! Then you’ll love our yard- with extra big boulders for the whole family to enjoy climbing or places to rest and listen to the sounds of nature. A few “heads up” about our spot: - the path to get to backyard is a bit steep. 👟Perhaps plan to wear appropriate footwear🙃 -like most places in San Diego there’s a possibility of snakes and we did have a recent sighting, so please use caution - the fencing on bottom right of yard is a different material, but still secure without any ways for pups to get out, but it can at times shift with weather and may be more possibilities for a pup to go under (I try and check often)🌿 - on the bottom left of the yard their are fire stick succulents🌱 on my neighbors property-the sap of these plants are toxic, so best to stay away! -lastly, if you are planning to come on a weekend morning- our neighbors typically play pickle ball at this time which can be a bit noisy and a distraction to some pups- they’re usually done by 11am. If you have any questions. Please don’t hesitate to reach out
