55Buddy and Charlie’s yard is the most incredible place to take your dogs for a safe fun way to let them have some doggy time! Beautiful yard with lots to explore, fun ways to cool down, and even a treat from owner of the yard! I highly recommend 🐾Kim S.

55Wonderful! The pups loved this spot, and frankly so did we! The owners have gone above and beyond for what we expect at a Sniff Spot. There was plenty of shaded seating, cold water bottles waiting, and paint supplies to paint your dogs names on a piece of tree trunk which they will hang up!!
Dog treats, balls, pool and water bowels were provided as well.
We very much appreciate the extra amenities provided here and will be back!Jordan J.

55We absolutely loved this spot! The pup loved running around and sniffing, there’s plenty of shade and fresh water left out for both the dogs and the humans, and they even left a tree cookie out on the picnic table with paints and other supplies so we could decorate it with Kylo’s name. I thoroughly enjoyed having my own activity while my dog explored, so fun and cute! The neighbors dogs were definitely not very friendly, but thankfully the owners took them in after a minute or so of them barking like mad. There is privacy netting/mesh so my dog couldn’t see the others through the fence which we really appreciated. The hosts went above and beyond, we’ll definitely plan to come back!Lindsey A.

55This is by far my favorite sniff spot! The hosts were incredibly kind and generous. They left treats for my pups, and water for me. They also left paints and pieces of wood for me to paint on, they then will hang it up on their tree with all the other pet owners. The neighbors on all sides were very quiet. There was no noise that disturbed me or my pups. The yard was secure and I did not have to worry about my dogs going through the fence. We will definitely be coming back!Sabrina K.

55Always clean, always prepared, shade and seating available, water and activities for dog and owner, double fenced for controlled entry, and to finish it off, a thank you biscuit for your pup. They have really thought of everything you may need. This place is truly amazing!
Our second time here and they have made some new additions to not only activities for the dogs but also for the pup parents as well. My dogs always love it here, in fact they were getting excited as they were pulling up to the house. I guess the last time we were here it was an impressionable experience and remembered it.Kaylie C.

55We love Buddy & Charlie's place! This was the first sniffspot for Ms. RubyRose a year and a half ago and we still enjoy it today! We lost a ball in the wood pile, but still a wonderful afternoon! Always fun stuff to sniff and maybe one day she will dig in the dirt box instead of my blankets! Thank you so much for sharing your backyard! Gina L.

55The hosts are incredibly accommodating. My dog had a blast! There were plenty of areas of the yard to capture her attention. Admittedly, she had a great time digging in a raised bed full of dirt. She had so much fun doing zoomies. Water was available to her so she could recharge and run around some more. She’s home and already falling asleep. Tracy P.

55Needed a private dog park for my dog to meet the dog I was taking in as a foster dog. I'm from Sonoma County, so I wasn't familiar with the area. Buddy and Charlie's yard was close to where the foster dog was located. The wading pool, lots of water including cold water for the 2 legged humans, balls and chew toys, a digging area - WOW - it was wonderful. The picnic table with an umbrella - the humans were able to sit in 96 degrees comfortably to share info on the foster dog. Thank you for sharing Buddy and Charlie's yard as a SniffSpot!! The human who brought the foster was happy and going to share with her local friends. LuLu and Tyson say Thank you!!Lisa L.

FAQ about our North Highlands 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.
