55Third time there! Love it so much that I am joining the Sniffpass today so I can go regularly. Highly recommend this place. Perfect for my reactive dog to have a safe place to romp. Rarely see neighbors on the other side of fence which is a godsend for us. Jeanine S.

55This Sniffspot was amazing! It was clean & there were no dogs nearby so my dog & his friend could run around freely without worrying about other dogs. The space is huge so our dogs were able to explore off leash & they were super happy by the end of the visit. Priscilla R.

55Absolutely lived up to all the reviews. Instructions were perfect, including a designated area for parking. The field was massive with shade, sunlight and a ton of space for dogs to run. It’s heaven for dogs. Will absolutely return. Steven N.

55We had great second trip here, our dogs loved exploring the area it was a good size for the explore but still be able to have visuals on them.This was our second time visiting this spot, the first time wasn’t ideal the area was coved in maybe cow pies and holes that made me nervous of our dogs getting caught while they ran. We took a chance and tried it again and the experience was SO much better! The area was clean and the holes were filled in, there was also large water buckets for the dogs which they absolutely loved so happy we decided to give it a second chance our dogs had a blast!

55The place was very inviting, water and clean up supplies were easy access. The field had a nice hill where even my wife and I was able to get in a nice walk, walking the field and not having to have a leash on Bodie. We all three left happy and excised.Lonnie P.

55This spot is awesome. It had a very nice hill. It was huge and pretty. My pups were running up and down and all around the whole 2 acres. It’s clean and had several tubs of water and a hose. One of my pups prefers to drink from a hose so that was a nice plus. I also appreciate that there were already two folding chairs available. Thank you for allowing my pups to enjoy your spot. Will be back.Emily V.

55I hosted Lola's 3rd Labrador Birthday Party on 3/16/24. We had 9 pups in total. It was SO much fun seeing all the pups together. 6 of Lola's pup family were there along with her two BFF's. Kristie accommodated parking for all cars and said pup and human food were allowed. There is plenty of shade for the adults. All the labs are ball-obsessed, it was such a joy to see the whole family chasing the balls. This was an amazing day. I will plan more "family and friends" playdates. Amanda B.

55This was my first time using Sniffspot so I don’t have any comparisons to make. Upon arrival, things are clearly marked for where to park and the entrance to the huge pasture. I thought my 5 mo old pup would go crazy and run off leash in this wide open space, but she spent the first 15 minutes with her nose to the ground sniff sniff sniff sniffing. After that she was content to trot around a bit but stayed fairly close to me. She would chase her ball but not bring it back, which surprised me. There were a number of ground squirrel burrows where other dogs had been digging, but my dog left those alone.
The host’s communication was helpful and responsive.
I’d love to come again and bring a dog-playmate so they might romp together, blow off some steam, and make full use of the huge and secure space.
The location is a 15 mile drive from downtown SJ, but a pleasant mourning trip via Almaden and McKean.

55Kristie's spot is fantastic! Firstly, she sent me a message with all of the information I needed to get into the spot, but everything was so well marked with signs it was very obvious where to go! She had big tubs of water and a hose available to refill them, poop bags, a pooper scooper, trash cans, 2 chairs...and most importantly a big open area to run! My two dogs had a great time sniffing and running around for an hour. Would definitely visit again!Laura C.

55What a gorgeous Sniffspot. It’s a sloping hillside. Fully fenced. Chain-linked all the way around. Clearly marked sniffspot sign and parking. It has water and chairs and poop bags. Kristie is very kind and there is you need her. Melanie L.

FAQ about our Carmel Valley fully fenced dog parks
Are fully fenced dog parks safe?
While public dog parks have a number of safety issues, such as aggressive dogs, inattentive owners, 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 guests so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits are 5 stars. And with fully fenced Sniffspot parks, you can get the safety of a fenced-in space for dogs, while still having plenty of space to run.
