55A great place for fun and relaxing time with your pup. Very clean and neat. Host was available answering questions when clarification was needed. Definitely McRuffin Bro’s Dog Pool & Park is now one of our favorites. D V.

55Elyse and her husband are wonderful hosts! Their backyard is gorgeous, and they provide everything you could ever want or need (e.g., indicated parking space, sunblock, snack/water for both guests and dogs, toys). We also had the smores kit, which was super cute. I highly recommend visiting them and would definitely come back!Katherine G.

55Elyse was great with communicating and went above and beyond to meet and satisfy all our expectations! The minute we walked in, we felt at home and our Golden Retriever wasted no time jumping into their refreshing pool. The pool... the pool was such a vibe and perfect for a hot day. Being able to take dips, chill next to the pool and bbq to some country/southern rock and partake with some 420 was just what we needed. Our dogs loved it and Elyse even provided treats, bowels and towels. The touches had a homey vibe, especially the smore kit and fire pit. We got the smore kit but decided to take it home for munchies later on 😄. We used the bbq which came with a flat top for burgers 🍔 and they even provided excellent quality tools. Trust, the bbq is legit so definitely add that on! I almost don't want to express how amazing this place is, as I don't want people booking on days we would like to come back lol This place is also 420 friendly, which adds to the cozy comforts Elyse provides at her place. As a person with a plothera of disabilities, for those with mobility issues you don't have to worry about access as it is all easy to navigate. I can't say enough about our experience so I'll end with this -- we will be back for sure lolAddison J.

55Wow!!! Just wow!!! This was our first Sniffspot experience and it was so great! Elyse was so kind and communicative. She had dog treats, toys, sunscreen, a Bluetooth speaker, and water bottles set up for us to use.
Unfortunately, this time around our dog Sawyer couldn't figure out the pool but we are hoping with a couple of more visits he'll see that it is safe and get the hang of it. He was tuckered out by the time we got home, which is a win in our book. We've already booked our next visit.Shelby M.

55We had the best time enjoying this backyard oasis! Elyse met us out front for the first visit to give us the walkthrough of everything. It was very easy to find and the parking was easy. The entry gate was secure and private and the backyard had everything needed for a dogone fun time. In addition to providing toys, water, treats and doggy bags, she also provided shampoo and conditioner so that we could wash our girl off after a fun swim. We can't wait to come back and enjoy more water time!Chelsea M.

55We had such a great time! Elyse was an amazing host providing toys, water bowl, waters, sunscreen, and even a little spot and supplies to shampoo/condition after all the swimming. The pool is perfect for dogs as there is a large platform for standing to cool off easily. We will definitely be back!Kristen R.

55Elyse’s backyard was wonderful! We had a great time. This was our first Sniffspot experience and we wanted to bring our 3month old puppy to swim. Elyse is friendly & hospitable - gave us a quick tour of her lovely backyard which had everything you need. We will definitely be back!! Thank you Elyse for sharing your oasis! Shinne P.

55We absolutely loved this sniff spot! It was our first time trying out the app and we wanted to give our husky mix a place to swim in the heat since we don't have a backyard for him. He absolutely loved it and so did we! Elyse had amazing accommodations like pool toys, water, and shampoo so we were able to wash him off after swimming. Overall an awesome afternoon and we will definitely be back! Kade D.

55This was Rocket's first time in a pool, I thought it was great, he didn't. This spot is perfect for dogs who love water and the pool is salt water, which feels great! The host provided toys, treats, and other goodies for me and my pup. There was plenty of space for him to run around to chase the ball. I'll definitely be coming back with my other dog, who loves water. It's one of the best sniffspots I've seen so far!Tiffany H.

55This was our second visit to McRuffin Bro’s Dog Pool & Park and it was just as excellent as our first visit. The only thing that made it better was that our dog, Sawyer, let us put him in the pool 🥰. We can tell that he is getting more relaxed and we love it! We've already booked our next visit! Can't wait!Shelby M.

55Great hosts and place! Super clean and had the necessities like toys, balls, and most importantly cold water and fans to cool down. We went later in the evening to give the weather a chance to cool down and though it did I know for our pups it can still be hot so I was happy to know that the hosts had cold water and fans. Great time and would definitely book again! Chris M.

55This is our first experience with a Sniff Spot.
Sniff Spot host had great communication. The host provided very clear instructions on how to enter to yard. Easy to find and easy to park.
Nice, clean, big open yard with a very nice patio set up with shade. Plenty of fresh water, toys for the dogs and cleaning supplies.
Excellent spot!
My dogs enjoyed there time very much. Helen A.

FAQ about our Trabuco Canyon 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. 96% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Trabuco Canyon 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 355 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 46 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.
