55Great yard! Private parking and entrance. The property is super well kept and the host offers so many extra dog toys and treats free of charge as well as fresh fruit from her property. It is entirely gated with a stone fence so it is great to let your dog sniff and enjoy! We will definitely be back! Cameron M.

55The place was exactly what we expected! I loved how there was shade and plenty of toys for the dogs to play with. There was a cute little sandbox next to the trampoline that our dog enjoyed using! Definitely would rent again! Josephine S.

55This spot was very nice. Very quiet neighborhood, pretty big backyard with everything you could need. My dog loved it. She explored the yard for the first 5 mins and then we played fetch w her ball for another 20 mins. Perfect spot to run around and do her thing. Briana V.

55The place was lovely and quaint. I really enjoyed bringing my dogs here. Living in an apartment makes it difficult to give my dogs some space to roam around. As a first time user of Sniffspot, it was a great first experience. I appreciate that we werenβt bothered and had the place to ourselves. οΏΌwill definitely book again! Marilyn M.

FAQ about our Irvine 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.
