55Location is a little difficult to find because you go up a long private drive to get there. However, the fenced in area was perfect and there were chairs for the humans. Dogs loved running around through the grass. There are bushes along the fence. It was very private; we didn't see anyone at the house, and it is well away from the road. Would definitely recommend.

55Wonderful yard for dogs to run and play. Patty is a great host and leaves bags, water bowl and chairs to use while there. The fence is secure and feels safe so no worries while the our dog is running around with her friend. 😊Deborah H.

55Very beautiful and peaceful spot! Was nice and quiet and mostly secluded which is helpful for my reactive pup. Host was also very gracious in leaving out cool water - especially nice given the hot temperatures!Mary D.

55This was a lovely space and our dogs had a great time! It was a little tricky to find since there isn't a house number down by the road.. just look at the pictures of the house and driveway to confirm you're in the right place! Kellie M.

55Great spot that is fully fenced. I was a little unsure of the location at first, but you just turn into a long drive way right where Google maps says the address is. The house and fenced area are at the top of the hill. My dog had a great time running around. There were a few tennis balls, which she LOVED more than the toys I brought with us.
One tip is to bring some bug spray. We came the morning after a storm, and there were a lot of mosquitos (as one would expect in VA). We ended up leaving a bit early because I couldn’t take the bites. But we’ll be back again and just remember the spray. Natalie H.

55Although I did not meet the host, the spot was very relaxing for both myself and my puppy. She LOVED the greenery and the hill. I like how secluded the location is and that there were minimal insects about side of the occasional mosquito. Thank you! Brittany K.

55Lovely little yard conveniently located and easy to find with map app directions. My energetic pup was thrilled to chase the tennis ball we found up and down the little slope and tuckered himself out during his hour. Patty pulled up to say hello and was nice as could be. Great place to let city dogs off leash to chase and fetch. Thank you!Juliette B.

55Favorite spot, hands & paws down! Great space for Queenie to let loose, run, and chase a ball where I still have eyes on her so she doesn’t get into mischief. The area is well-secured and has chairs to sit down. There are toys and balls to choose from as well, in case you forget your own. It’s clean, quiet, and private as well and has a great spot to park your car near the gate entrancd.Sarah V.

FAQ about our California 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 California?

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.
