Pamela's Fully Fenced Yard For Dogs To Rent In Melbourne | Sniffspot
55We loved it here! There was a nice walk way leading up to the gate so it was easy to find. Pamela set out some toys, treats, bags, and a little pool for our dog to play in. The yard is big and has a lot of open room for the dogs to run!
We will definitely be back! :) Halen G.

Fenced LARGE field- GREAT for off leash play! | Sniffspot
55Nice place with lots of room to run! Even though it’s only partially fenced as advertised, the area where you’ll be spending all your time is the left side and back of the property, which are the 3 sides fenced in. 💪Nikki V.

55Great value for the price. One half of the property has a house, and the rest is plenty for the dogs to run around and have fun. the neighboring property had two calves, and ours enjoyed meeting them. both animals were curious and was fun for us to watch. Our two had a great time. Thanks NicoleCheri A.

55This is a nice open property where your doggos can run to thier hearts delight & get all that energy out.
We pulled in & immediately turned to the left, pulled in & parked.
Although it's listed as being fenced on only 3 sides, there are tall bushes along the front area with only the driveway actually being open & you're in & away from that area.
I initially kept my dogs on a leash until we walked a little further into the property.
After I let them go they chased their balls & ran back to me, no problems..
We walked around with them running & frolicking.
My dogs stayed with Momma & are not runners, I wasnt real sure how it would be since this was a new place for us.
It was great.
There isn't any shade so it did get toasty.
This is open beautiful country with hawks, eagles & Kites (all carnivores) so wouldn't recommend for small dogs.
They jumped in the pond repeatedly.
It was a very nice experience & we will absolutely go back.

55We're grateful to have a place to run, be free & be safe.
I throw the ball with my "Chuck it" repeatedly & my dogs couldn't be happier.
They jump in the pond occationally in between catching their balls.
Five Sandhill Cranes flew over today honking all the way.
Sweet little singing birds were lined up along the fence.
Ducks were on the pond, the rooster crowed several times too!!
It was just beautiful.
Dogs are happy & exhausted!Holly Marie N.

55It's been pouring raining so between showers we went over to Nichole's.
Theres always a pond but there was a whole new river today!!
The dogs lived it, so did the ducks.
There was a mud hen & a couple babies in the little lake & 5-7 mallards in the new river.
We played catch, ran to the dogs hearts delight.
Jumped in the lake, ran up the river.
What a mess they were!!
Had a great time, baths when they got home. Lol 😆Holly Marie N.

It was so nice to be able to have somewhere to go that is safe and gives your dogs freedom to explore. My fur babies absolutely loved it! We will be definitely visiting again. Thank you for such a great experience!Rizza B.

55What a lovely hidden gem! We took our 2, 3 year old Aussie pups here today as a birthday treat for them, and it did not disappoint! The property is really lovely and securely fenced, so they were free to run and explore. There were several places for them to swim as well. This was a great opportunity for our female pup to practice recall, as she tends to be a "selective listener" Our hosts were friendly and informative, and we felt very welcome enjoying their beautiful property. We will definitely be back! Rachel B.

55A beautiful oasis with wonder welcoming people. Elegant horses who love to be fed carrots and apple slices. MAKE SURE TO BRING SOME THEY LOVE IT! My dog is a GSD rescue I fostered and decided to keep him. I live in A apartment for the next 6 months so finding this escape that I can go to every other weekend is gonna be a blessing. They’re so accommodating and respectful and I love that they allow us to adventure on their own little oasis paradise. Want to gate keep this all for myself but Will recommend to all my dog parents cause everyone deserves to spend an hour or two here! Coleson P.

FAQ about our Melbourne 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. 97% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Melbourne 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 111 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 18 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.
Does Melbourne have any fully fenced dog parks?
Sniffspot has 111 fully fenced dog parks in or near Melbourne. Browse all fully enclosed options.
