55My grand dog had a GREAT time, being off leash in a safe place with tons of sniffs, a big selection of toys, and nice grass to run in. Cheslyn stepped out for a minute and she's obviously very knowledgeable about dogs, so I felt very safe and comfortable there. Solid fence and gates. We will definitely become regulars.Robin R.

55This was a perfect visit for my year old Border
Collie who manages some anxiety in new environments. It was quiet, good sized, and grassy for a great place to explore and even play a bit. My older dogs came along to “anchor” their young pack mate, and they loved exploring the area, too! Thank you, Cheslyn. BarbBarb V.

55This was a great spot to run my dog and work on training as she has some reactivity and there was enough going on around the property but she was still in a safe space. Very secure. She had a wonderful time.Christine D.

55We had a great time! Our dog loved playing with the provided toys and there were even cute little hats and bandanas, had to take a pic! The property was very secure and quiet. Appreciated the water bowl and being able to use the sprinkler since it was so warm out! Lots of fun and look forward to visiting again soon 😊Kelli H.

55Wonderful area and great amenities. Couldn’t ask for more to make our little pup happy, especially since we have such a small backyard at home! We will be coming back very soon as it’s a great location in Santa Rosa that’s near our house as well. Mister T.

55My dog enjoyed sniffing around. The gate worked perfectly and I like that you can drive in close the gate behind you, no parking difficulties. I can tell that Jeremy really cares about this space and creating a fun and safe environment for our pups. He’s on top of it! Thanks again for having us! Emily F.

55Beautiful location! My dog loved it! Just a heads up, there are large gaps in between the wooden fencing and under the gate. If your dog is like mine and doesn’t listen, they’ll definitely escape.
Thank you for providing a space for my doggo regardless 🐕Karina C.

55My 16 month old lab loved the open space to run. My only concern was the deep cracks she could fall into while chasing her ball , but I do understand it is because of the dry and hot weather. Teresa W.

55I can see Kristen has cleared this space and given us areas that have many dynamics to it for the dogs to play and sniff! There are shaded areas in the dip of the hill and long open spaces for me to throw the ball for a long run. I know she is addressing the many holes! You just need to be careful with your footing! The only issue I’m personally going to have is when the fennel grows back as I’m highly allergic! But I’m 1 in a million 😊Deborah d.

FAQ about our Santa Rosa 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. 97% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Santa Rosa area are 5 stars.
How do I know if a dog park works for my dog?
You can filter Sniffspot dog parks by fencing and distractions. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our 67 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 15 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.
