55Another great day at this location. My dog got a chance to play with the owner’s dog and had a great time running around and splashing in the doggie pool. Thank you. Kathleen H.

55This was our first time using Sniffspot. And it was amazing!! Very clean well maintained yard, so much for my puppy to sniff and run around. She is a very happy pup will definitely use this again and again!! Jocelyn M.

55Perfect spot for my pup! Plenty of areas to sniff and green grass to run around or lay in. Lots of toys (balls, frisbee, rope toys) and a kiddie pool. My pup and his friend had a great time! Loved the icewater for the humans and awesome sitting area with Adirondack chairs.
We will definitely be back! Karen M.

55This is probably the cleanest Sniffspot I’ve ever visited! My dogs had a wonderful time exploring the yard and rolling around in the lush green grass. Fencing was secure except for one board of fencing that is loose. I didn’t even notice it until some people walked by that area and my chihuahua mix ran over to investigate. I realized the host had placed a circular concrete slab near the fence so I just leaned that up against the loose board and there was no more issue! Overall, this is a very clean, quiet, and secure Sniffspot and we will be back for sure! Montessa G.

55This spot was really nice! Lots of shade! Grass was green and had a very nice place for humans to sit… had water, toys and a few treats… kiddie pool in the back of the yard… we booked for 2 hours so we could just relax a bit and I’m glad we did!

55This was my first SniffSpot and it was the best experience ever. Lauren's backyard is incredibly huge and clean. The grass is green and the pups had an incredible time. We threw a small birthday party for our pup with her 4 friends and they had a blast running. All of them knocked out after getting home!! There was water and toys left for us. Cassie W.

55Our pup had a great time running around and getting all his energy out. Very nice sized yard even for big dogs to run around. Lots of shade and seats for people to relax on. Good amount of balls, frisbees and ropes for play as well as treats for your dogs. We will definitely be back!Vanessa B.

55Very nice spot for pups and people!
Very secure fencing and quiet neighborhood. Great lounging area for the people. Appreciated the nice clean water and quality pooper scooper.
Quiet neighborhood - resident dogs could be seen through window but my girl wasn't bothered by that at all. She really enjoyed the various toys and space to zoom around play!Jenny B.

55Very nice and appreciated such quick answers to my questions. It was a bit hot outside to stay too long but we had fun. This spot would be great for smaller dogs in particular. My Border Collie needs a lot of space to run out during fetch but we were able to make it work and I loved the big shady tree! Thank you🙏Terri G.

55This is a really great spot for both dogs and people. There’s plenty of space, shaded and non shaded areas. Both of my dogs were able to run around with no worries leaving happy and tired from all the playing. The neighborhood is also really quiet and the fence is very sturdy. Would definitely come again!

55This is a nice property. There’s a long driveway and they  do not yet have a gate. But from the place where you can play fetch with your dogs  the dogs are unable to see the street.  Also, my dogs have decent recall unless they see a person on a bike.  So I would recommend this place for a very active dog who is obedient and come when called.  My dogs had a great time playing fetch for about 30 minutes and they were extremely exhausted. After that that was perfect for us so we did not need our whole hour time slot. I have two working dogs that are both mutts and rescues.  My husband was a little nervous about. They are not being a gate, but it was not an issue and my dogs had such a great time. We definitely will book this place again. Thank you for sharing your yard with us! Jeanette M.

FAQ about our Carmichael 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. 97% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Carmichael 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 137 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 16 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.
