55This backyard is beautiful and big with lots of space to run! I appreciated that there was water and lots of great balls to throw.
As some other reviewers have mentioned, this spot isn't super ideal for reactive dogs because of the neighbors' dogs. Fortunately, they only barked when we were right next to the fence. My dog is very reactive, and we were expecting it, so we saw it as a good training opportunity. :) But it was hard to draw him away to play instead of running back to the fence. Just something for other folks with reactive dogs to be aware of.Alison K.

55Beautiful, spacious, and serene fenced in yard! A delight for my reactive pup Rosie and a treat for me (an apartment girlie with—obviously—no yard), too! We’ll definitely be back. Grace L.

55I’m not sure why the reviewer below gave a 1 star review for elevated AQI? That is not something the host has any control over.
I’ve been to this spot multiple times now and my dog loves it. She has severe social anxiety to the point that it’s hard to even take her for walks. It has been truly wonderful for her to have a space to run around and explore as well as just nap out in the sun for a bit as we don’t have much of a yard space at home and it’s not secure.
The space is massive and extremely peaceful. It has been a great experience for both of us to have a quiet outdoor space to play and rest.
There is a dog living in the adjacent house that sometimes barks. My dog felt secure due to the high fences so she barely reacted but something to keep in mind if your dog is scared of other dogs.

55Great spot, Shelly had an awesome time. Yard is secure and safe. There are dog neighbors directly next door (on the other side of the shared fence) to be aware of but they are safely separated by a approximately 8’ tall fence. Would play again.

55No words to describe how fantastic this was for our dog, Scout! The property was perfect and safe. She had the best time running and playing. Our trainer recommended she needed this type of thing in addition to walks. I am scheduling more visits today! Thank you so much for this brilliant service. Wish I had known about this before! Highly recommend!!!Timothy K.

55Wow! According to Oreo, this is not just a Sniffspot; it's a Sniff Heaven. Wide open space to run and play. Big trees where a squirrel can be spotted. Sunshine and joy and freedom. What a delight. We can't wait to come back!Saaski M.

55This Sniffspot is an oasis and Stephanie the host seems just lovely and replies to emails quickly! It is a beautiful , well-tended back yard with lots of space to run, play ball or frisbee and many different terrains to sniff! We heard neighbor voices and heard a neighbor dog bark but we never saw anybody. There is an open pool which was not an issue for us. My reactive dog felt safe and happy! Amazing place! I will be a regular customer here! Thank you for providing safe spots for dogs to play!Melanie L.

FAQ about our San Pablo fully fenced dog parks
Are fully fenced dog parks safe?
While public dog parks have a number of safety issues, such as aggressive dogs, inattentive owners, disease transmission and general cleanliness, Sniffspot dog parks are much safer than public dog parks. Human and animal safety is our #1 focus. Without a private option, many dog owners are relegated to using athletic fields or tennis courts for their dogs, which are not private or safe. 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. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits are 5 stars. And with fully fenced Sniffspot parks, you can get the safety of a fenced-in space for dogs, while still having plenty of space to run.
How can I find fully fenced dog parks in San Pablo?
There are 125 fully fenced dog parks in the San Pablo area. The most popular fully fenced park is . You can browse all of our fully fenced dog parks here.
How do I know if a fully fenced dog park works for my dog?
Many people looking for fully fenced parks have dogs that are not good with voice control. Start by applying basic filters, such as fences height and distractions, to find a dog park that works for your dog. You can see attributes of fences such as height, gaps and fencing type to find the perfect fenced-in space for dogs. You can filter by size to make sure you have plenty of space, or a smaller space if you prefer a neighborhood park. You can browse on a map by park location to find one in your city or near your city. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our off-leash areas where there are no dogs audible or visible near the space. Make sure to review the amenities of the spot to check features you want for your activity, such as fresh water, trail features such as soft trails or walking trails, or even water fountains. If you prefer wood chips, many of our parks have wood chips or indoor space if you prefer a beautiful park building.
What are the requirements to bring my dog to a Sniffspot fully fenced dog park?
We require that all dogs have basic vaccinations or equivalent titers. We do not permit use by pregnant dogs and we do not permit dogs with a bite history. We require that guests sign our waiver and agree to follow our safety rules, such as staying within the designated off-leash areas. Each park location also has their own set of rules that guests need to follow, such as limiting excessive barking.
Will there be other dogs at the Sniffspot fully fenced dog park at the same time as me?
Sniffspot only allows one booking at a time and any host dogs are required to be kept away from the spot during visits. We also enforce 30 min time buffers between bookings.
