55Great spot for your dog to play in/around the stream. This my dog’s first time getting acquainted going into water comfortable on her own. Well worth it.
It was pretty easy to find by cross referencing street view images to the ones posted in the listing and dropping a pin to route directly to it. As the listing suggests, the hike down to the area is somewhat steep with areas of unstable footing. It’s not an issue if you’re an avid hiker or in decent shape but should be considered if you or anyone in your party has mobility issues.Robert C.

55Great Spot for my dogs to do their zoomies. The yard wraps around the house, so my dogs loved running in circles. There is a neighbor small dog across the street that we noticed, but its bark was minimal. It was a good opportunity for my younger dog to practice ignoring other dogs (I’ll bring more treats next time to work on some training). The fence is mid height, so if you have a dog that is an olympic hurdler, be mindful that they might clear it. Overall, my dogs loved it and we went in the morning time, so the neighborhood was super quiet with no foot traffic. Anna N.

55Lovely yard with nice shade trees, things to sniff, and an assortment of toys to play with. We visited midday and I had plenty of shade to sit in. Yard is well maintained and secure. We didn’t notice any neighbors at all—nothing but minor distant barking elsewhere in the neighborhood. Vasu is a thoughtful host and communication was perfect. Thank you!Jenna S.

55We adored this sniff spot. The host was kind and responsive through the app, the space was lovely, it was refreshingly quiet, and my dog had lots of space to run, play, and sniff. The yard is nice and flat, open, grass, safe & clean, with a tall and sturdy fence so I felt safe to actually let her run around & be her goofy self. I feel just as relaxed as my dog. We will definitely be coming back. Highly recommend. Alena K.

55Nice sized yard, nice that is not just a rectangle, some little nooks to explore. Appreciated the magazines for us! Since we don't have any grass the dogs loved playing and rolling in the grass. And, there was a nice dog treat to end the visit. Most important for us is that there are NO foxtails in the yard.Pamela J.

55Percy and I had a blast! The yard is beautiful with plenty of space for pups to run around. There are a bunch of toys available for pups to pick from and fresh, clean water for them to drink when they're tired. The seats are comfortable for the humans accompanying them as well. We would definitely love to visit this yard again sometime!Rev C.

FAQ about our San Carlos 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. 96% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the San Carlos area are 5 stars.

You can filter Sniffspot dog parks by fencing and distractions. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our 106 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.
