55The dogs loved it, they had a blast. It’s mostly dirt so don’t wear white lol. There is an opening in the fence leading to the river (as mentioned in hosts’ description), but we just stayed away from that area. It wasn’t a problem for us. There’s a nice patio area where we were able to set our bags down and fill up the water bowls for the dogs.Madison M.

55This is an amazing property with such kind and attentive owners. As soon as our 3 big dogs got out of the car they began running full speed, chasing each other and stretching their legs. The whole property is very peaceful and calming. We spent time down by the river and discovered that our newest shepherd apparently loves the water and literally leaped right into the river! Luckily she didn’t go too far out and was able to get back out on her own 👍
We will definitely be booking again very soon!! This was a great outlet for our dogs and us as well. Thank you Arias’s!!Carrie L.

55Both we and our three large dogs just love this place! The hosts are friendly and gracious, and the area is large and well kept. So nice to have a large dirt area, grass area and even beautiful river access! Gives our dogs plenty of room and time to run at full speed and really get the kinks and energy out 👍Carrie L.

55Beautiful property. Owners are very friendly, understanding and their love for animals is very apparent. Great place to introduce your fur kids to horses and reinforce the “leave it” command. We will definitely be going back. My dogs had a blast. In fact, we left 15 minutes early because Kilo and Loki had so much fun they were exhausted. Lol
I highly recommend it. Cris M.

55Tayler’s yard was great! It was clean and well-kept, and the perfect size. The basket with toys, treats and poo bags was a great touch as well! There are dogs in the neighbors yard that bark quite a bit (good to know if you have a reactive pup) but that’s certainly not the fault of this Sniffspot. There is a secure privacy fence for the entire perimeter as well. We loved it!Jessica J.

55Great place for the right dog!! It is steep, although your dog does not need to run to the top to have fun. But if your dog is going to no matter what I’d say he/she better be pretty athletic or used to hills (although my three legged German shepherd did fine with it and it was absolutely not a problem for my other dog). It was just the kind of running I’ve wanted my dog to enjoy for awhile. The host was great and very responsive. I didn’t walk the whole fence line but it looked to be in good shape. Lots of bushes and trees to sniff which was great! We were one of the first two I think to try this Sniffspot. So if you have any questions about whether it is the right fit for your dog I would message the host. Stephanie K.

55I recently visited Karen's yard with my furry friend, and I have to say it was a fantastic experience! The yard was huge and clean, which made for a great playtime. Even though the terrain gets a little steep near the top and edges, it was completely manageable and added an extra level of adventure.
The fully fenced area provided a safe space for my dog to explore and have fun, and the gap at the entrance was easily blocked with one of the provided chairs. Karen was extremely accommodating, and the provided amenities made our visit comfortable and enjoyable.
Most importantly, my reactive dog had an absolute blast! Karen's yard provided the perfect environment for her to sniff and play without any worries. Overall, I highly recommend Karen's yard for any pet owners looking for a safe and fun place to play with their furry friendsAlex N.

55The yard was great and the views were stunning! My dog absolutely loved it! He’s a bit mischievous and was able to use the front porch to momentarily escape the yard. But aside from the front porch, the yard is well fenced! Alyssa F.

55The vegetation is knee high after the rains so it's a little hard to navigate. But the dogs had a lot of fun scrambling up the steep hill and climbing on boulders. They are small dogs so the grass was taller than them but they didn't seem to mind lol. They had a good sniff around and exploring up the hill. Even the 10 lb chihuahua was clambering up the boulders. They went home very tired.Chona C.

FAQ about our Bakersfield 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.
Are 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 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 guests so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog. 0% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Bakersfield area are 5 stars.
How do I know if a dog park works for my dog?
You can filter Sniffspot dog parks by fencing and distractions. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our off leash areas where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can also filter locations to avoid other domestic animals and people. We also recommend reading reviews and reaching out to the host with any questions.
