55We had a very nice time in Lauren’s backyard. She had fresh water out for Toby and a basket filled with toys and treats. She also had water and chairs for us humans. Her yard was big and clean. Toby ran all around zig zagging and sniffing all the corners of the secure fence. We even found out that he loves playing frisbee! We will definitely be back. Zuzana V.

55Our pup had a great time at this spot! Our host Lauren was very communicative beforehand and even went the extra mile by putting a little pool situation together for our girl (which she loved). There were lots of nice touches, including a carafe of iced water for humans and plenty of ice water for the girl. We will certainly be back. Thanks again, Lauren! Alex B.

55It’s a great spot. I loved that it’s fully fenced and a wide open space. There was water for my dog and I and there were dog toys available. Emily (my dog) and I got a chance to meet Lauren and play with her pup, Jack. Lauren set up the doggie pool so that they could splash around as well. The location was easy to find, very clean and very welcoming. I definitely recommend this spot. Thank you. Kathleen H.

55Such a cute spot! We will absolutely be back, our girls had a blast. It was super clean, and the grass is nice and green. Lots of pretty trees too. They had a nice selection of toys, however our girls don’t really care about toys so we didn’t use them lol. Also had water out for not only them but us too! I couldn’t believe it because we came so early. Really great hosts and spot. Also we have one reactive dog and she didn’t see or hear a single other dog which is always much appreciated 🙏🏼Sarah H.

55Perfect spot for my pup! Plenty of areas to sniff and green grass to run around or lay in. Lots of toys (balls, frisbee, rope toys) and a kiddie pool. My pup and his friend had a great time! Loved the icewater for the humans and awesome sitting area with Adirondack chairs.

Very secure fencing and quiet neighborhood. Great lounging area for the people. Appreciated the nice clean water and quality pooper scooper.
Quiet neighborhood - resident dogs could be seen through window but my girl wasn't bothered by that at all. She really enjoyed the various toys and space to zoom around play!Jenny B.

55Very nice and appreciated such quick answers to my questions. It was a bit hot outside to stay too long but we had fun. This spot would be great for smaller dogs in particular. My Border Collie needs a lot of space to run out during fetch but we were able to make it work and I loved the big shady tree! Thank you🙏Terri G.

55This is a really great spot for both dogs and people. There’s plenty of space, shaded and non shaded areas. Both of my dogs were able to run around with no worries leaving happy and tired from all the playing. The neighborhood is also really quiet and the fence is very sturdy. Would definitely come again!

55This is a nice property. There’s a long driveway and they  do not yet have a gate. But from the place where you can play fetch with your dogs  the dogs are unable to see the street.  Also, my dogs have decent recall unless they see a person on a bike.  So I would recommend this place for a very active dog who is obedient and come when called.  My dogs had a great time playing fetch for about 30 minutes and they were extremely exhausted. After that that was perfect for us so we did not need our whole hour time slot. I have two working dogs that are both mutts and rescues.  My husband was a little nervous about. They are not being a gate, but it was not an issue and my dogs had such a great time. We definitely will book this place again. Thank you for sharing your yard with us! Jeanette M.

FAQ about our Carmichael 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. 96% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Carmichael 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 132 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 17 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.
