55This is the 3rd time we have visited this spot. My Lola always has a blast and sleeps most of the day when we get home. Huge grass lot, fully fenced, and buckets of water with access to a hose if needed.
I will be hosting Lola's 3rd bday party here. So much room for her Mama and siblings to run and play.
Plan on making this "our spot" and come regularly. Amanda B.

55This place was absolutely beautiful! My dogs had the best time we’ve ever had at a sniff spot and the owners were very kind and respectful of the space we were renting! Couldn’t recommend enough!Joanna H.

55What a great place! Brought my 2 high energy German Shorthaired Pointers to Hillside Meadow. They were ecstatically happy. The rain brought out lots of new grass full of things for them to sniff out. There's a hill for them to really work their legs and lungs. My 1 y.o. didn't stop running for almost the full hour. Both dogs were happily worn out and slept all the way home. We'll definitely be coming back Maddy H.

55Khaleesi and I love this spot! We found it to be fully secure, with lots of room to run and explore. Lots of fresh water and strategically places (clean!) chairs for resting were much appreciated; and the views are gorgeous. Kristie is very pleasant, informative, and customer satisfaction is high on her priority list. We’ll be back!Mona C.

55This is a really nice quiet spot. They provide a large area with fresh water, a ball, a chair and poop removal materials. Host gave clear directions on how to access the spot and explained she was happy to help should anything arise.
This was our first time using Sniffspot and it was a really good experience. Our little puppers was worn out from sniffing after 30 mins! Haha. Rachel M.

55This place is surrounded by lush green mountains. It is peaceful and quiet and my babies had the time of their life here. Kristie, the host, was very friendly and thorough in explaining where to park and how to enter. Her spot is also very well marked with signs. We live far from this spot but will for sure be back!Elena C.

55Super relaxing place to wander around and let my dog sniff and eat grass. Good distance if you play fetch. Might want to bring a towel to dry the chairs on a damp day. Wonderful experience. Thanks!Sybl A.

55This place was wonderful! So much space, and it was clean! Lots of water, trash bins, etc. available. Kristie was very friendly, and was nice enough to keep an eye out for me for early cancellations. We went in the evening around 5pm and we caught the sunset. Perfect way to end our weekend. My pups were tired and fulfilled. Coming back for sure! Sarah S.

55Canine paradise! It was exactly as advertised. A big, beautiful, grassy space with secure fencing, clean and available water, lots and lots of sniffing opportunities, a poop scooper, and garbage cans. My ball-chasing dog chased balls until she couldn't anymore. My difficult dog was a little anxious (typical for her), but she did calm down when there was nothing to stress about. We can't wait to return!Holly N.

55We had such an amazing time at Kristie’s Sniffspot, she was super helpful and responsive and our dog had such an amazing time he did not want to leave! The neighbors were walking some dogs in the distance but cal (our very reactive dog) didn’t seem to notice he was having such a good time. Highly recommend!

55Today was my first Sniffspot experience and let me tell you! I generally don’t do reviews and I wish I took pictures and video for my TikTok but we were having so much fun our phones didn’t matter. I’ve never been able to take Hank and my kids anywhere to play without restrictions and this spot was the perfect place to do that. Sorry Hank dug up a few old squirrel burrows I’ve never seen him do that!he loved it so much. He got to play fetch, and sniff and explore with all my kids unbothered.He loved this place so much he was barking at someone at the entrance cleaning up. I’ve never seen him guard any place but home. Watching Hank be his true authentic self was beautiful. Thank you for sharing your gorgeous puppy oasis with everyone 💕 we will be back
P.S we saw a bald eagle fly over us close enough to be positive it was in fact a bald eagle! Shannon D.

55Kristie is very friendly and welcoming! It’s a nice beautiful big area for pups to run around, and it’s securely fenced. My 2 dogs loved it. There were water buckets and poop bags to use. There’s a small creek on the other side of the fence, it’s very relaxing! We will definitely be coming back again ☺️Yesenia M.

55Another great time at Kristie’s Sniff-spot. Koda always takes good advantage of being off the leash.
Kristie has been making a lot of improvements on the property such of cleaning the maneuver, placing chairs, new water bowls and more.. The spot is fully fenced, safe for dogs to enjoy their free time.

55Our 2nd time here and my pup, Charli absolutely loves romping around, playing ball, and visiting with the neighbors chickens. There is so much room to explore and the hour went by so quickly. Signage for parking and entrance to the fully gated property are visible and make it very easy once you arrive. The host, Kristie is responsive, kind and welcomed us back which means a lot. This is definitely going to be a regular Sniffspot for us!Tracy H.

FAQ about our Carmel Valley 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 Carmel Valley?

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.

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.
