55We LOVE this SnifSpot. It is our favorite thus far. We have been here 3 times, different times of day and different days of the week. Each visit has been perfect for our 3 large dogs. The Host goes above and beyond to leave out water, dog bags, dog toys, bug spray and sun screen (if needed). We always try to bring our own supplies, but it is really nice to know there are items always out if we forget. The space is huge and the views are amazing. We will continue to return!!! Viktoriya K.

55Caren was incredibly sweet and helpful and her property was just as pictured. It was very clean with lots of shade, more chuck-it balls/toys than you could ever imagine and completely fenced in. Thereβs even a little handy station with sanitizer, sunscreen, wipes, and anything else you could possibly need. So thoughtful! Savannah L.

55We really enjoy every single time that we come visit this spot. We have been coming here mostly every weekend for about a month and a half and we will never get bored about driving hours to get to see our Pepper happy π! This place is perfect for him to run freely and my husband and I love seeing him happy.

55Definitely a place where they care about your pets π§‘ππ«Ά, so 100/10 for that.
Our Pepper is a highly reactive dog and have been able to have a good response to some circumstances that he never encountered before. Caren and his husband really care about animals, you can see that from thousands miles away, they truly engaged with their guest and have a pretty awesome sniff spot ππ«Άπππ!!! Bravo for that!!!Yesenia M.

55This is a great open spot to let your dogs just explore or if you need some wide open space for play. Balls and ball throwers on site plus a nice shaded portico and a tub if they need to really cool off.
Itβs a hard-pack pasture like space so definitely be mindful of the heat - itβs got quite a heat dome on it. Lots of gopher/burrowing animal holes so be mindful of your feet!
Caren is your lovely host and cares deeply about animals - you will be well taken care.
Totally worth it!!!
P.S. leave no trace! Cleaning up after yourself/dogs is not only good manners but ensures this type of service remains available for your future use and everyone else πClint I.

55We had a wonderful visit to Carenβs property. She is a lovely host and provided everything our dogs could need for a fun time. We will definitely be back. This is a great location for any reactive dog that canβt go to group settings but still needs the chance to run and play freely. Definitely recommend. πJamie C.

55Additional review to my previous message as I had mentioned I spotted 2 small gaps that my little terriers would have squeezed themselves through if on hot pursuit of a critter, was rectified by the kindest of all hosts, Caren and her husband! They went out of their way to make sure my pups were safe to have fun, not to mention my emotional state! I can't thank these wonderful people enough!!gemma B.

FAQ about our Valley Center 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 Valley Center?

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.
