55Had a ton of fun today. There was a pool filled with water and the lady of the hour decided that is where she wanted to spend her time. The field is nice and soft with little colorful flowers everywhere. Thanks for a great visit today. Ranita M.

55This was a great, welcoming spot and the host was extremely gracious to my reactive pup. We had a great time and highly recommend this spot for dogs that love to chase balls or play in water/pools!Francesca S.

55I had an early work day, so I shuttled my goldendoodle over to this spot in the early afternoon on a weekday. It’s a bit of a drive from Sacramento, but definitely worth it! The host met us upon our arrival and showed us the area. There was fresh water and plenty of toys for my doggo to play with. There’s tons of space for dogs to run, the fencing is more than adequate. My dog had a wonderful time. I would definitely recommend! Shannon M.

55A nice large open area, fully fenced. There's a small covered area with a picnic table and bench seating. Some dog toys, towels and treats were available to use. Another 4 chairs are on the property. Our dog really enjoyed it.David S.

55Had my first session there with my dog. He loved it sniffing around and I think he is already tired out from a half hour of roaming. This area has a huge fenced area, nice shade cover, chairs, and even toys. I ended up bringing my own dog water bowl, and eventually my dog finally drank from it. Great people that I met who own the property. I look forward to going again and seeing if I can get my dog to try the little pool. Wish me luck for a dog who is not that fond of water. :)Annette T.

55Great place! We rented the BBQ and brought some music/games to have a picnic for Mother’s Day. Our dogs got some great exercise and didn’t want to leave. We will definitely be back!

55Great space! Secure, lots of space to run around, and, most importantly for my pup, lots of things to SNIFF. We were so grateful for the treats and towel included in the amenities! Those were a huge help getting the pup ready to go (especially because we forgot our own towel!!) Definitely worth paying extra for the doggy pool to be filled up fresh— we’ll do that next time!

55We had such a great time! Our pup loved it and so did the whole family! It was fully fenced which gave us a worry free experience! The host gave us toys, treats and a towel to dry our pup off after swimming in the little pool they had out there. We will definitely be back :) Katrina G.

55Great wide open space for the dogs to run. I couldn't throw a tennis ball with a chuck-it more than 1/2 way across the field. Fencing was great. There isn't a lot of shade if it's super hot though...Darren T.

55Very nice Host. Completely fenced. Water, towel and everything was provided. I will mention it is near a road so if you have car reactivity in your dog, you will need to prepare for it. I will say additionally it was Secure and Safe! I only note it because I have a dog that is enticed to fence run and we try not to have him practice the behavior. The host offered to even close off half the terrain for us :)Shelly L.

FAQ about our Carmichael dog fields
Are dog fields safe?
If you are looking for an adventure, but also looking for safety, Sniffspot dog fields are a great option. While public dog parks have a number of safety issues, such as aggressive dogs, distracted dog owners, disease transmission and general cleanliness, Sniffspot dog parks are much safer than public dog parks. With Sniffspot all bookings are private space for just you and doggy friends you bring with you and we require all dogs to be vaccinated (or have equivalent titers). Especially for training, privacy is ideal. Contrary to public dog parks, all Sniffspot locations are vetted and reviewed by guests so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog for off leash exercise or outdoor training. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits are 5 stars, while public dog parks often do not even have verified reviews. All payment is done securely online by credit card in a few simple clicks.
All park rental information is available online. Start by filtering parks by fencing, size and distractions, to find a private spot that works for your dog. If your dog has poor recall, you can visit one of our secure fields. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our dog fields where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can review the details of the listing to make sure it works as your desired activity space, for example, safe dog exercise, dog training, a stress-free adventure with your furry friend or even a puppy event. You can even check the park amenities chart for amenities such as indoor training facilities, agility field, synthetic turf, exercise balls or field parking availability in advance. If inclement weather is an issue or poor field conditions, you can reschedule your visit up to 2 hours in advance.
What are the requirements to bring my dog to a Sniffspot dog field?
We require that all four-legged friends have basic vaccinations or equivalent titers. We do not allow dogs with a bite history. We require that guests sign our waiver and agree to follow our safety rules. Make sure to check host rules before visiting to ensure, for instance, that you are following allowable sports activities rules and any special events rules.
Will there be other dogs at the Sniffspot field at the same time as me?
No. Facility rentals are for private play time and any host dogs are required to be kept away from the area during visits, so this is perfect for a private adventure for you and your doggie friends, and perhaps a human friend. Hosts understand that many guests have dogs in training and are nervous owners. So when you book a Sniffspot dog field you have the entire private spot to yourself. We also enforce 30 min time buffers between time slots so you will not run into other guest dogs or a previous person when coming or leaving in the field parking area. Some hosts may have multiple fields, but there is always a buffer between fields.
