Fully Fenced

0.5 acres

Pups of all sizes enjoy this spot. Half acre property, fully fenced and gated, good privacy, lawn, pool, lounge chairs, table and chairs, flower gardens, redwood trees, olive trees, persimmon trees, meditation garden, hummingbirds, and even a red fire hydrant. Optional pool access for people can be purchased as an Extra, by the hour and by the person. The pool is unheated except by the sun/air. We love all dogs and welcome dogs of all shapes and sizes and hair types to visit; however we can only offer pool access for non-shedding pups, as long hair and fur was unfortunately causing damage to the pool equipment; If you are booking for more than one non-shedding dog swimming or for longer than an hour, please message us with info about your dog(s) and we will create an extra for you for the number of dogs you have swimming. Most visitors find the lawn size ample for running around and throwing a ball a bit, but if you are looking for a field to throw a tennis ball as far as you possibly can with a Chuck-it, the yard is not really the right size and shape for that, sorry! Hours right now are 7:00am to 7:30pm. If you are booking prior to 8:30am, please book no later than 9:00pm the night before, so that we see the booking before we go to bed. Thanks, and we look forward to your visit!

A beautiful fenced-in 5 acre parcel with hills, a few trees, areas of short and tall grass. Dogs absolutely love it here.

Easy to pull in and park (near the empty barn) and there are several shady spots around property. I have a dog bowl, some treats and a few balls but also acquiring some more toys.

Dog’s paradise in El Cerrito. Reserve a sweet little spot for you and your pup to play, dig with the gophers, or run around for a bit. I’ve added a gorgeous chaise lounge and chairs with an umbrella for pet parents who need a break, as well as a rainbow water feature to cool off. Due to rising operating expenses, however, water play is an add-on. Thanks to the generosity of one of our regulars, we now have agility equipment that is free to use. We would love to host you in our back yard oasis! ***Small dog boarding available by appointment.*** I am also launching a boutique dog birthday party business for personally-curated backyard doggie celebrations.

Beautiful peaceful space. Bonus points for great views as well. Enough room to play and for your dog to run around the yard. Very generous of the host to leave toys and the adorable stick library which my dog ran to investigate as soon as I let him off the leash. Easy to find and helpful instructions from the host. Looking forward to visiting again. Thanks!

What a great spot! Spacious, beautiful and quiet yard with sun and shade areas to play in. Plenty of toys and sticks for my pup to choose from. A water bowl was provided and filled prior to our arrival. We’ll be back!

Holly G.

April 2024

We loved our first Sniffspot experience at Karin’s! We have a very anxious German Shepard (trauma from his past life), and he cannot handle being approached by other dogs. We are on alert during every walk and can’t go to dog parks. It was SO nice for all of us to get to relax, go off leash, and watch him get to explore and run around while we enjoyed the sunshine and our feet in the grass. The property was absolutely beautiful and serene.

Kiem S.

Angelica R.

May 2024

This was a beautiful place. My dogs and I enjoyed the peacefulness. My little dog enjoyed the bird sounds and flower scents. The yard is very clean, well kept, overall very lovely. It was a hot day and so the ground around the pool was a bit hot, I recommend bringing extra towels to wet & lay down so your dogs have cool surface to walk on if you choose to use the pool. I really liked the ease of the entrance/parking. We had a great time.

Ashley P.

May 2024

We had the BEST time! Such a wonderful yard, some nice shady spots. Beautiful grass and the flowers around the yard are absolutely gorgeous. Host was responsive and so nice. We will be back again soon!

FAQ About San Rafael 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 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.

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.
