55This spot was great! Starr was very accommodating and friendly. She has horses which she moved to separate areas and an adorable mini horse the dogs could get to, but was very friendly and the dogs didn’t really bother too much. Her property has two large fields where dogs can run freely and tons of new smells to keep pups interested. There are spots in the fence where smaller dogs can get through to neighboring properties, so if a dog does not have good recall it may be an issue. My two GPs had a blast chasing barn cats, smelling new things, playing with Starr’s shepherd, and seeing horses for the first time. They left exhausted and happy. My kids had fun as well running around and interacting with her mini horse, which was an added bonus! We’ll definitely book this spot again.Nicole H.

55We had a GREAT time here at our first sniff spot! Dorinda messaged us prior to our visit and was super fast responding, and Tyler was very hospitable and welcoming. The space is great and Winston, being the lab he is, LOVED the pond in the middle of the field. They also provide poop bags, toys, balls, and a fresh towel knowing the pups will get muddy. We’ll be back!Jessica F.

55We had a wonderful morning here. Since it was our first time we were met by Tyler who showed us where to park and gave a quick tour of the SniffSpot. It was super helpful. It was truly a wide open space completely fence with the seasonal pond. Our dogs loved running through the water and fields. We had our rain boots on so we explored through the water and mud to. It was so fun and a beautiful morning. Also - they had a cart full of toys and balls, a chuck it to use plus poop bags, a clean towel to dry off and hand sanitizer. We normally bring all our own supplies and balls but it was a fantastic touch to the SniffSpot! Thank you!! Carrie N.

55We had a great time! The host was very nice, met with us when we arrived since it was our first visit and showed us around. They provided dog toys, treats, bags to clean up after our dogs, and even brought a towel to wipe them down since of course they loved playing in the water and mud! We had a nice large area of mostly grass to let the dogs run on, there was a small shallow water hole that the dogs loved (during the winter there’s a creek that runs through but dries out in the summer). There was also a small pool for the dogs to play in and plenty of water for them to drink! Definitely recommend and plan on visiting again!!Katie T.

55I’ve lost count on how many times I’ve been here, but this is hands down the best location. Plenty of well kept space so my dogs can stretch their legs. Derek W.

55The dogs had an amazing time and we had an amazing time! When we pulled up we met the host, I couldn’t catch his name over my dogs barking, but he was a very nice and professional guy. He was warm and engaged in our conversation about snakes and was in the process of moving one under the shade when we got there. I suggest bringing a cooling vest for the fur babies!Seviride D.

55I booked this appointment for my boyfriend’s mom to take her dogs. She enjoyed being there and the dogs enjoyed running around in the wide open space. She said that she will definitely be returning there again and I hope next time I can go with her. Kaitlyn G.

55Had another great experience here as always! My dogs loveeee the wide open (AND CLEAN) space to run free and play fetch! My oldest is a big water baby and he absolutely loves the pool that's provided. And I am sooo thankful they always have fresh towels available because I always forget to bring mine 😅 I LOVE this spot and will definitely continue to bring my fur babies here!Amanda T.

55We went back yesterday and had another lovely visit! The dogs wore themselves out quickly with all the space to run and things to sniff. They heard a rooster crow a couple of times and were so intrigued. Good times! We will be back.Cindy K.

55Our small dog had a blast running around and exploring the large, well-kept yard. It’s entirely enclosed so we didn’t have to worry about our dog slipping through any fencing. The patio was lovely with comfortable seating for us human types. Our only concern was that the access from the front was a little bit precarious for my elderly mother who uses a cane; there is no paved walkway and the grass is a bit hilly which may be challenging for others with mobility issues. We will ABSOLUTELY be back! Thank you so much, Dawn! 🐶🩵 Shauna A.

FAQ about our Rio Linda 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?
