55You can tell a lot of care and thought went into hosting for dogs. From the basket of dog toys, to water dishes, chairs sporadically around the yard, a covered picnic table that has hand sanitizer, and even a trash bucket specifically for poop. Great spot, will definitely come back again. Lots of space for the pups to run around and sniff and play.Thank you for offering up your backyard and love to all pups!Marysa L.

55Me and my son brought our dog, Callee here today and I swear our pup was smiling! She was worn out in the first 10 minutes of our hour here. She ran, climbed on boulders, chased lizards, balls, and frisbees, and greeted the very friendly neighbor dogs and their humans playing pickle-ball. She had a blast! Highly recommend. We will be back!Danette S.

55I love coming to this Sniffspot, and my dogs love it too. Running up and down the hill is such a great workout for them. We also love that there’s seating all around the property and shade is available. We also really like the fresh water spigot.Vickie C.

55This is a great spot for adventurous dogs! The pups had a blast and lots of zoomies, and it was comfortable for the humans too. There was water and buckets for trash, and the host left toys for the dogs which came in handy. I’ll definitely be back!Arleen P.

55Sarah-Jane’s yard was the perfect amount of space / grass to have my dogs run around at! Parking was super easy and the yard is in a very nice neighborhood. She even let us use her hose to wash their paws after playing which was super helpful. We’ve already booked our next trip over - the pups loved it! rosie j.

55We absolutely loved Sarah Jane’s space!!! We booked last minute after the rain. She was so thoughtful and accommodating. She reached out to let us know the yard was soaked (in case we preferred to cancel). Then, put out a towel and a hose for him to rinse off. He ended up happily sitting in a sunny spot with a bone and a toy she puts out for her pups. The yard is absolutely beautiful and she really cares. This will definitely be a regular spot for us!! Thank you. Julie H.

55Thank you!! Sarah Jane is so proactive and communicative. After the rain, she wanted to let us know the ground was soaked, but we were still welcome to come. She set out water and dry pillows on the furniture to make me comfortable too. He decided to make it a “chewspot” instead of a Sniffspot today and was so happy!
I’m so grateful to have these opportunities to let him make his own choices and be a dog. Thank you! Julie H.

55I love the place. It's immaculate, quiet, and safe for the dogs. Sarah left a towel for us if the dogs will be wet from the grass after all those rains. We will come back!!! Because it's a beautiful place, and the dogs were very happy about it.Ella L.

FAQ about our Encinitas 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. Human and animal safety is our #1 focus. Without a private option, many dog owners are relegated to using athletic fields or tennis courts for their dogs, which are not private or safe. 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.
How can I find fully fenced dog parks in Encinitas?
There are 154 fully fenced dog parks in the Encinitas area. The most popular fully fenced park is . You can browse all of our fully fenced dog parks here.
How do I know if a fully fenced dog park works for my dog?
Many people looking for fully fenced parks have dogs that are not good with voice control. Start by applying basic filters, such as fences height and distractions, to find a dog park that works for your dog. You can see attributes of fences such as height, gaps and fencing type to find the perfect fenced-in space for dogs. You can filter by size to make sure you have plenty of space, or a smaller space if you prefer a neighborhood park. You can browse on a map by park location to find one in your city or near your city. 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 near the space. Make sure to review the amenities of the spot to check features you want for your activity, such as fresh water, trail features such as soft trails or walking trails, or even water fountains. If you prefer wood chips, many of our parks have wood chips or indoor space if you prefer a beautiful park building.
What are the requirements to bring my dog to a Sniffspot fully fenced dog park?
We require that all dogs have basic vaccinations or equivalent titers. We do not permit use by pregnant dogs and we do not permit dogs with a bite history. We require that guests sign our waiver and agree to follow our safety rules, such as staying within the designated off-leash areas. Each park location also has their own set of rules that guests need to follow, such as limiting excessive barking.
Will there be other dogs at the Sniffspot fully fenced dog 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.
