Amazing spot!! Absolutely great play area. Caroline was very kind and knowledgeable. She took time to meet Luna and made her visit so welcoming!
55This is a lovely spot, well- tended and safe. The fencing is secure and there are bowls & hose for plenty of water. Trees and landscaping provide plenty of shade. Our dogs enjoyed the different levels - hillside and decks - and we loved the view of San Diego. Caroline was communicative and accommodating. We'll come again!Amy W.

55Caroline’s private yard was great! Lots of room to run for the pups and some shaded areas for the humans to sit and relax. Our German Shepherd and Frenchie enjoyed the endless amounts of tennis balls and dog toys. She even had water bowls and water ready for the pups to quench their thirst. 100% would recommend!Frank C.

55This is a nice open, clean, grassy place! My dogs ran around and played chase and explored and went up and down stairs. They even met the owner of the home and yard. She’s very friendly and my dogs loved her!Desiree T.

55It was my dog’s birthday so it was him and his two bffs and they all had the best time! There’s a lot of room to run, explore, chase, fetch, etc. The owner, Care, was so kind. She greeted us on arrival and even hung out with us for a bit. One of the dogs is afraid of new people and he was totally comfortable with her. She’s a dog trainer so that really helped because she knew what he needed to not be afraid. She also had a birthday present for my dog which was really sweet. Overall, highly recommend and we’ll be back! Thanks again, Care!Megan W.

55Care has put so much thought and detail into her space. Her sniff spot is one of a kind, lots of space, real lush grass and multiple fun interactive areas for the pups. She thinks of every little thing! Dog wash, poop bags, shady areas, sunny areas, water stations, snack station and could go on for days. This is the place to take your dog if they need to let out their zoomies. Can’t wait to come back!alexa b.

55Such a nice place to hang out for both pup and mama! There was lots for my dog to do which kept it interesting. I appreciated the toy pit (with a clean squeekie plush toy!) and all the rich, cool grass. And my pup enjoyed traversing all around and climbing the slopes, and mauling the plush toy!! Thanks so much for the breather!Kim L.

55This Sniffspot is a blast for my dogs. We can’t wait to come back. My pocket Malinois loved the ball pit which is pretty amazing it’s not normally her thing but I caught her over there quite a few times searching out for something fun. The host is delightful to work with. Lindsey F.

FAQ about our San Diego dog fields
Are dog fields safe?
If you are looking for an adventure, but also looking for safety, Sniffspot dog fields are a great option. While public dog parks have a number of safety issues, such as aggressive dogs, distracted dog owners, disease transmission and general cleanliness, Sniffspot dog parks are much safer than public dog parks. With Sniffspot all bookings are private space for just you and doggy friends you bring with you and we require all dogs to be vaccinated (or have equivalent titers). Especially for training, privacy is ideal. Contrary to public dog parks, all Sniffspot locations are vetted and reviewed by guests so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog for off leash exercise or outdoor training. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits are 5 stars, while public dog parks often do not even have verified reviews. All payment is done securely online by credit card in a few simple clicks.
All park rental information is available online. Start by filtering parks by fencing, size and distractions, to find a private spot that works for your dog. If your dog has poor recall, you can visit one of our secure fields. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our dog fields where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can review the details of the listing to make sure it works as your desired activity space, for example, safe dog exercise, dog training, a stress-free adventure with your furry friend or even a puppy event. You can even check the park amenities chart for amenities such as indoor training facilities, agility field, synthetic turf, exercise balls or field parking availability in advance. If inclement weather is an issue or poor field conditions, you can reschedule your visit up to 2 hours in advance.
What are the requirements to bring my dog to a Sniffspot dog field?
We require that all four-legged friends have basic vaccinations or equivalent titers. We do not allow dogs with a bite history. We require that guests sign our waiver and agree to follow our safety rules. Make sure to check host rules before visiting to ensure, for instance, that you are following allowable sports activities rules and any special events rules.
Will there be other dogs at the Sniffspot field at the same time as me?
No. Facility rentals are for private play time and any host dogs are required to be kept away from the area during visits, so this is perfect for a private adventure for you and your doggie friends, and perhaps a human friend. Hosts understand that many guests have dogs in training and are nervous owners. So when you book a Sniffspot dog field you have the entire private spot to yourself. We also enforce 30 min time buffers between time slots so you will not run into other guest dogs or a previous person when coming or leaving in the field parking area. Some hosts may have multiple fields, but there is always a buffer between fields.
