55My dogs had a blast here! And Caren is a wonderful host, she greeted us at the gate and even had treats for the pups. The location was easy to find with the instructions. There are some gopher holes, so that would be the only thing that I would say to watch out for if it’s a concern for your dogs. Otherwise the spot was really clean and well-maintained, and there were lots of thoughtful amenities, like water, toys, poop bags and wipes.Kristiene G.

55Caren was super and Palmhill was a total blast for my dogs. Caren met us at the gate to show us where to park and access the huge field. The dogs had so much fun running, playing fetch and exploring gopher holes. Lots of physical and mental stimulation for them. The field was clean, very secure and organized. There was plenty of water for the dogs, poop bags, trash can, bug repellent and sunscreen etc…
There was a large bucket of toys and a container full of chuck-it balls. Caren even brought treats down for all the dogs. I look forward to doing a walking tour of the property with Caren and the dogs next time.Cathy W.

55This was our first ever sniffspot we visited and it has set our expectations extremely high now! Palmhill was absolutely beautiful and my dog had a blast playing frisbee and checking out all of the new smells. Caren greeted us at the beginning of our time slot to meet us and show us around. She had buckets of fresh water set out, tons of toys including balls and frisbees, towels and cleanup supplies, and there is ample seating. It is completely fenced in so you can be sure your dog is safely secured. She offered us a tour of the property at the end of our visit which we took her up on and she told us all about Palmhill. Extremely happy with our first Sniffspot experience and highly, highly recommend taking your dog to visit Caren’s sniffspot, she has an amazing place and was an excellent host! We will definitely be back! Brianna H.

55My dog such a fun time here. Caren was an amazing host. She kindly welcomed us with some dog treats (which Max devoured within seconds) and led us to the area. It was well kept, had fresh/clean water, cleaning supplies and towels, sunscreen, and plenty of toys! It unexpectedly started raining when we arrived, but despite the weather, we had a blast and will definitely be coming back soon.Karen E.

55This is my favorite sniff spot!!! The grass is trimmed with no foxtails, completely secure, plenty of toys, water, waste bags, and best of all- it’s flat. That’s important as I have a senior shepherd and he can run and play on the flat. Caren was wonderful and took us for a walk around the orange grove. She’s incredibly friendly and pleasant. We will be back again!!!Maureen P.

55This was our first time trying out Sniffspot and booking a visit at Palmhills private dog park in Valley Center. It was an amazing first time experience. Caren was really kind and sweet she meet us at the gate and even had treats for our pups. When we arrived there was plenty of fresh water bowls for the dogs to drink and an assortment of toys to play with. Our dogs had an amazing time and will sleep well tonight. Overall this was a great experience and Caren just made it all the better for us. I highly recommended this fully fenced off leash spot. We will definitely be coming back in the future.Madison M.

FAQ about our Cathedral City dog fields
Are dog fields safe?
If you are looking for an adventure, but also looking for safety, Sniffspot dog fields are a great option. While public dog parks have a number of safety issues, such as aggressive dogs, distracted dog owners, disease transmission and general cleanliness, Sniffspot dog parks are much safer than public dog parks. With Sniffspot all bookings are private space for just you and doggy friends you bring with you and we require all dogs to be vaccinated (or have equivalent titers). Especially for training, privacy is ideal. Contrary to public dog parks, all Sniffspot locations are vetted and reviewed by guests so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog for off leash exercise or outdoor training. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits are 5 stars, while public dog parks often do not even have verified reviews. All payment is done securely online by credit card in a few simple clicks.
All park rental information is available online. Start by filtering parks by fencing, size and distractions, to find a private spot that works for your dog. If your dog has poor recall, you can visit one of our secure fields. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our dog fields where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can review the details of the listing to make sure it works as your desired activity space, for example, safe dog exercise, dog training, a stress-free adventure with your furry friend or even a puppy event. You can even check the park amenities chart for amenities such as indoor training facilities, agility field, synthetic turf, exercise balls or field parking availability in advance. If inclement weather is an issue or poor field conditions, you can reschedule your visit up to 2 hours in advance.
What are the requirements to bring my dog to a Sniffspot dog field?
We require that all four-legged friends have basic vaccinations or equivalent titers. We do not allow dogs with a bite history. We require that guests sign our waiver and agree to follow our safety rules. Make sure to check host rules before visiting to ensure, for instance, that you are following allowable sports activities rules and any special events rules.
Will there be other dogs at the Sniffspot field at the same time as me?
No. Facility rentals are for private play time and any host dogs are required to be kept away from the area during visits, so this is perfect for a private adventure for you and your doggie friends, and perhaps a human friend. Hosts understand that many guests have dogs in training and are nervous owners. So when you book a Sniffspot dog field you have the entire private spot to yourself. We also enforce 30 min time buffers between time slots so you will not run into other guest dogs or a previous person when coming or leaving in the field parking area. Some hosts may have multiple fields, but there is always a buffer between fields.
How much do Sniffspot fields cost?
Dog fields in the Cathedral City area range from $6.0 and $6.0. The least expensive dog field is Jasper Springs Cattle Ranch. The most expensive dog field is Jasper Springs Cattle Ranch. Each host sets their own price, so you can check the price on the specific Sniffspot dog park listing.
