55Absolute lifesaver of a spot for our reactive dog who loves to run and chase balls but can’t go to dog parks. My dog was curious about the sound of the chickens in the next yard over but got used to it. We heard the neighbor dogs barking but they didn’t come outside while we were there. Absolute awesome spot to bring your dog and lots of shaded, comfortable spots for humans, too. Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful yard! Gillian B.

55The garden is incredibly spacious and beautifully maintained. My pup had an absolute blast roaming around and discovering new spots. We met the host, and she was very lovely and very welcoming :)Katherine E.

55We found parking right in front, the place was ready to go. The neighbors 2 dogs did come out, but the neighbor was good at keeping them away so it wasn’t too much of a problem. Our dog loved smelling and exploring. Overall he had a great time and was tired at the endChristina V.

55Leave this space so much! It was beautiful and serene and my dog had the best time sniffing the different plants and running up and down those stairs! The dogs next door heard us and barked at us for a bit but we were ignored and able to enjoy our time here. Loved that this space is like a mini hike and the water bowls everywhere were a nice touch. Koda and I will definitely be back again. He didn't even last the whole time we booked it for but nonetheless we had a great time. See you soon!Liliana L.

55My pup had the best time. She mostly just wanted to play with her ball and the slight slope allowed for her to drop it, watch it roll away and run after it. It was a hot day, so it was great that there were so many shady spots under the trees and plenty of water. Also plenty of comfortable seating options for people too. Will definitely be returning.Parker H.

55Beautiful and spacious yard. Super friendly host! Didn’t see anyone except for the host and only heard distant city traffic and noise. A small road to get to the house so drive slow. Loved that I could park in the driveway!Michaela N.

55This is a special and unusual garden spot in the Oakland hills. The host, who I happened to meet, was welcoming and gracious and the space fills a need in an area with few options. The nooks and crannies, the various aromatic plants, and the small shady spaces were very interesting to my pup. The space is accurately described in the listing.
Two things to know. First, there are lots of stairs to take you among the various levels of the garden. These are often garden steps without a railing, so owners with mobility concerns might consider that. Second, on the day we visited with our reactive pup there were two dogs on the other side of the fence. We were visiting on a weekend when the neighbor was outside with the dogs and some fence running ensured with our nervous boy. This might not be common or an issue for you.Elyse E.

55Another great visit to a beautiful garden. Completely fenced in with lots of nooks and crannies for your pup to sniff around, and very spacious for my dog who loves to chase the ball. We heard the neighbor dogs barking, but this was not a problem for us. A lovely backyard that’s perfect for our pup! Gillian B.

55We had a lovely visit! The yard is huge and my younger pup was thrilled to be able to sprint around and hide among the trees. As others have noted, the fencing is low on one side of the yard, but we did get a message from the owners letting us know that the neighbors have a gate blocking the lower part of their yard from their deck, so that provided some peace of mind. The balls and chuck-it were fun and my dogs were grateful for the water! Christina S.

55Wonderful large garden, with lots of different nooks and levels. There was so much for our pup to explore, as well as a large open space for ball throwing.

FAQ about our Livermore 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 Livermore?

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.
