55This was a perfect play place for our Bella. The beautiful grounds and swimming in the pond (with her brothers around to bug her) was the best day ever for her. We will be a regular customer for sure !! And Melissa is such a wonderful and thoughtful host. Eileen Q.

55Doggie Oasis indeed! My pup had a great time! He loved dipping his feet in the pond and loved sniffling and snuffling around the property. Host provides water for dogs, toys, towels, even bug spray. There are chairs to sit in and to enjoy the pretty pond. Great day!Talina M.

55This place was AMAZING! There are spots if you walk around the pond where the fence is broken but if you stay at the front of the pond you shouldnโt have an issue if your dogs donโt have a recall. Ours do so it didnโt matter to us. We will be coming back for sure and maybe next time rent the kayak. Amy A.

55Lovely area to run the dogs, lots of access to the pond. Lots of cattails so make sure dogs are good swimmers. Dogs had a blast. Good recall needed by one street. Colleen M.

55This was my first time using Sniffspot, and what a wonderful first experience I had. I will book this spot again! My sister and I were looking for a place to stretch our legs, let the dogs swim, and allow off leash play without stress. This spot checks all the boxes and is an absolutely stunning and tranquil property. Melissa was responsive and considerate, and she thought of everything. That made our experience 100% stress relief and smiles.
I very much hope to spend a lot of days here in the summer. Itโs perfect ๐Rose D.

55This is a really lovely spot, with the wonderful smell of the redwoods that fill the property. I enjoyed it as much as my dog did. There was plenty of shade everywhere to keep us both cool on this warm day. There is plenty of room for your pup to run, and a good place for fetch between the pond and the white rail fence. The entry to the pond is a concrete ramp, which my dog thoroughly enjoyed. She stuck to the ramp and didnโt swim out into the pond, but had lots of fun splashing around and didnโt get too muddy.

55This place is BEAUTIFUL!! If youโre looking for a place to escape the heat and enjoy a mini trail with your pup, this is it. My dog had sooo much fun, and itโs very easy to walk up onto the property. Owner provides instructions beforehand too! They had towels, toys, floaties for your dog to wear if they go in the water (a lot of sizes to choose from) and fish food to feed the fish. Open fencing near the front but itโs on a dead end neighborhood and pretty secluded so we took our long lead in case (and entering and exiting off property) but he roamed the rest of the time. They donโt have tennis balls I donโt think so if your dog loves tennis balls, make sure to bring one! We brought our dogโs favorite frisbee, but he kept chucking it and losing it in the water ๐คฃ Such an awesome time and am definitely gonna be coming ALL the time!!Geraldine R.

55This property is fabulous! Seriously a great spot to hang out with your pups. There are lovely shaded spots for a picnic while the dogs romp and a sidewalk around the pond for everyone to enjoy.
Funny storyโฆ Our 10yo dog invited her only dog friend for a fun birthday play dateโฆ unfortunately the friend was so excited that she immediately shattered a toe when jumping out of the car to romp. So we ended up having a solo play date while the friend went to a great ER-vet nearby. In case anyone needs an emergency vet nearby, Vista Veterinary Specialists were great! Nadia B.

55Great space for pups to run around. Mine doesnโt run far (or even at all) but he liked to explore. It isnโt gated off all the way which was listed so just be aware if you have runners. We were working on recall and it was a perfect place with some distractions but not overstimulating. Katherine C.

55OMG this place is an absolute gem! I traveled a bit far during an out of town adventure to come here, and Iโm so glad I did!
First, the property is gorgeous! There are tall trees which provide shade, and lots of seating areas scattered throughout. The pond is the most beautiful green/blue color and is a stunning backdrop for photos. I chose to rent a paddleboat and took it out with my dog. I definitely recommend bringing sandals or water shoes if you do that option.
My LOVED the water. She played in it the entire time. Itโs great because thereโs a kayak launching area, which basically gives the dogs a beach-like access access to the pond. So if your dog is hesitant and doesnโt want to just โjump inโ; they can go in slowly and/or just wade in the shallow kayak launching area.
You can also walk around the pond for some exercise. Thereโs a large grassy area if your dog likes to roll around or play fetch. This place has it all! I would recommend you bring some toys because I think I only saw a tug rope, but I didnโt look that hard.
Also the owner was very commutative and answered a bunch of my questions ahead of time via the app. I cant wait to plan my next visit and come again soon! ๐พ๐๐ฆ๐คSarah V.

FAQ about our Elk Grove small dog parks
Are small 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 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 park users so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits are 5 stars.
How can I find small dog parks in Elk Grove?
There are 83 small dog parks in the Elk Grove area. The most popular small dog park is . You can browse all of our small dog parks here.
How do I know if a small dog park works for my dog?
Start by applying basic filters, such as fencing and distractions, to find a dog park that works for your furry friends. If your dog doesn't respond to owner commands, you can visit one of our enclosed dog park areas. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our small dog park sites where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can see any park amenities provided, including a park bench, water for dogs or water features such as kiddie pool or water hose. If your dog loves water, you can go to a park with water features, but if they don't love water, you can avoid them. We also recommend reading reviews to check for park maintenance issues and reaching out to the host with any questions. And lastly, of course, check park hours. Many of our parks are open from dawn until dusk.
What are the requirements to bring my dog to a Sniffspot park?
We require that all dogs have basic vaccinations or equivalent titers. We do not allow dogs with a bite history. We require that owners sign our waiver and agree to follow our safety rules. We also require that pet owners follow safety protocols around water features.
Will there be other dogs at the Sniffspot park at the same time as me?
Sniffspot only allows one booking at a time and any host dogs are required to be kept away from the spot during visits. We also enforce 30 min time buffers between bookings.
If you are planning an amazing small dog park party, each Sniffspot park has their own rules regarding special events. Many parks allow doggie birthday parties, training, water parties and other event types. Event organizers need to be responsible for their guests and event organizers should coordinate with the host regarding their fun party. Make sure the park has amenities you need for your party, such as a park with lots of picnic tables with park benches.
