55Now that the weather is getting nice again, it’s so great to be back. My girl and I had a wonderful early AND quiet morning in this secure, large and lovely backyard. She ran and played with her toy until she got tired and then went for a swim in this awesome and neat pool. We just love it there!!!Joey D.

55We booked back-to-back mornings and had a great time both days! The pups loved running around in the grass and taking a dip in the pool. We will be back! :) Kelsey A.

55Samantha has a spacious, well maintained yard that gave plenty of room for our pups to fetch and cool off in the pool.
The perimeter is fully fenced which gave us peace of mind to let the pups explore. A great play yard on hot summer daysViktoria V.

55This was our second time here, and it was amazing. My dog absolutely loves all the green space to run in and the pool as well. This pool has really helped my dog get comfortable with swimming on her own which I love. It's worth the 30 minute drive from my apartment!! 10/10Jazzy B.

55Sami has a beautiful yard with a spacious area for our dogs to run. We didn’t have the opportunity to use the pool but it looked like it would be really fun for dogs that do like to swim. We had a great time and hope to be able to visit again!Tina M.

55This is a lovely spot. Guests, please remember to remove your own trash so that other guests need not clear the area. It's also not fair to the hosts.MJ S.

55We had yet another wonderful visit - my boy thoroughly enjoys this big and SAFE yard where he can run after his ball and go exploring when he gets too hot or tired, and his mom not having to worry about other dogs and their irresponsible owners. Thank you, Sam! Your Sniffspot is the best.Joey D.

55Sniffspot is such a life saver and so is this beautiful, spacious and safe backyard. I brought my two kids together for the first time, and while I was anxious they might go crazy, it worked out just fine. The host allowed me to “lock” the gates with my two leashes just for extra security although the gates are already secure, but people are people and you just never know who might show up having dates mixed up etc. My girl never played with a ball until today because she saw the value of it since her brother did. Wonderful character development all thanks to making this space available to people like me who do not have a house! Thank you, Sam, for sharing your home and being so accommodating so I can make my kids happy.Joey D.

55This location was great! So much space for fetch and the pool was a great way for my dogs to cool off in this summer heat. Sammi was so nice and brought out poop bags for us when i forgot ours at home. Lots of tennis balls for our dogs around the yard and great shade under the big trees. We will be back!Taylor C.

55Samatha was ready for us with dog bowls and toys. It was easy access and I sure wished I wasn’t the only one who got in the pool.
We brought our own filtered water and ball fetch. The trash bin was easy to find to deposit our doggie bag.
It was a little too hot. Can’t Essie I wait to come back when it cools down a bit.
Thanks!Diane B.

55I'm giving five stars for friendliness and consideration. Unfortunately we couldn't make our playtime due to monsoon weather and lightning. Samantha took the time to communicate with me and get it resolved. Will definitely book for another day. Rebecca S.

FAQ about our Scottsdale small dog parks
Are small 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 are 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 park users so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits are 5 stars.
How can I find small dog parks in Scottsdale?
There are 117 small dog parks in the Scottsdale area. The most popular small dog park is . You can browse all of our small dog parks here.
How do I know if a small dog park works for my dog?
Start by applying basic filters, such as fencing and distractions, to find a dog park that works for your furry friends. If your dog doesn't respond to owner commands, you can visit one of our enclosed dog park areas. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our small dog park sites where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can see any park amenities provided, including a park bench, water for dogs or water features such as kiddie pool or water hose. If your dog loves water, you can go to a park with water features, but if they don't love water, you can avoid them. We also recommend reading reviews to check for park maintenance issues and reaching out to the host with any questions. And lastly, of course, check park hours. Many of our parks are open from dawn until dusk.
What are the requirements to bring my dog to a Sniffspot park?
We require that all dogs have basic vaccinations or equivalent titers. We do not allow dogs with a bite history. We require that owners sign our waiver and agree to follow our safety rules. We also require that pet owners follow safety protocols around water features.
Will there be other dogs at the Sniffspot 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.
If you are planning an amazing small dog park party, each Sniffspot park has their own rules regarding special events. Many parks allow doggie birthday parties, training, water parties and other event types. Event organizers need to be responsible for their guests and event organizers should coordinate with the host regarding their fun party. Make sure the park has amenities you need for your party, such as a park with lots of picnic tables with park benches.
