55A lovely place for my old dog to wander around. Large shade trees to sit if weather is warm. I will definitely go back. Lots of room for younger pups to play. They have provided doggy pick up, water bowls and other goodies.
Enjoyable. Barbara S.

55Nice space with grass and dirt areas to explore. Lots of seating options for the humans and wifi access. Chilled water with a bowl, toys and treats were available and organized in a bin. Heard some people and another dog but both were short and didn't bother my sensitive guy. Lori and Todd S.

55Joy’s place
Joy’s place is a charming backyard lawn and garden. It’s appointed for her guests with toys and a full water bowl and for their owners: 3 different seating areas, bottled water, shade and Wi-Fi! Somehow she has convinced the monarch butterflies to make frequent, majestic fly-bies.
My dogs spent the entire session sniffing and trotting, sniffing and playing, sniffing and fetching, panting and drinking. They were very happy!
The vibe was chill, there was enough to keep my dog’s interest for 90 minutes, and the yard was very clean and secure (we have stranger-danger issues).
We will definitely be back. I have no suggestions for improvement. This yard is perfect. Thank you Joy!Elisabeth W.

55Been to a lot of spots, this is forsure a puppy fan favorite! Not only is this yard beautiful, the attention to detail and care as a host exceeded any expectations. Tons of room to get zoomies out, sniff, play, relax. The yard felt like a nice quick getaway for myself after a long day at work as well. My pup and I are extremely grateful for the host, Joy, and the hour we got to spend in her space. Will definitely be returning!Jessica N.

55ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE PROPERTY. It has a grass yard and then also another section with dirt and plants. Perfect for dog sniffing and playing hide and seek. The host was so nice and accommodating. I couldn’t recommend this sniff spot enough!Alec F.

55What a cozy location!
The area is so quiet, that the rescue dog I brought with me felt comfortable enough to take a nap!
At first, I thought there was a beehive somewhere due the humming. I was pleasantly surprised to see that it was simply so many hummingbirds flying and resting everywhere!
I highly recommend this location if you are looking for a cozy and nature-filled peaceful yard!Jessica G.

55Beautiful backyard! My dog loved sniffing everything and playing for a little :) There were some feathers on the ground accessible to my dog that I’d prefer not be there, but the backyard as a whole was gorgeous and had plenty of things to sniff and plenty of room to play fetch! Thank you! Kathryn T.

55Joy's private dog park was the perfect spot to bring my 4 dogs! The fencing was secure, there was ample grass and shade for us to stay cool, and she even left water bowls and toys for the pups to use. I would highly recommend this space for dogs of all energy levels and look forward to coming back!Ivelisse D.

FAQ about our Jamul small dog parks
Are small 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 are 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 park users so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits are 5 stars.
How can I find small dog parks in Jamul?
There are 76 small dog parks in the Jamul area. The most popular small dog park is . You can browse all of our small dog parks here.
How do I know if a small dog park works for my dog?
Start by applying basic filters, such as fencing and distractions, to find a dog park that works for your furry friends. If your dog doesn't respond to owner commands, you can visit one of our enclosed dog park areas. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our small dog park sites where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can see any park amenities provided, including a park bench, water for dogs or water features such as kiddie pool or water hose. If your dog loves water, you can go to a park with water features, but if they don't love water, you can avoid them. We also recommend reading reviews to check for park maintenance issues and reaching out to the host with any questions. And lastly, of course, check park hours. Many of our parks are open from dawn until dusk.
What are the requirements to bring my dog to a Sniffspot park?
We require that all dogs have basic vaccinations or equivalent titers. We do not allow dogs with a bite history. We require that owners sign our waiver and agree to follow our safety rules. We also require that pet owners follow safety protocols around water features.
Will there be other dogs at the Sniffspot 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.
If you are planning an amazing small dog park party, each Sniffspot park has their own rules regarding special events. Many parks allow doggie birthday parties, training, water parties and other event types. Event organizers need to be responsible for their guests and event organizers should coordinate with the host regarding their fun party. Make sure the park has amenities you need for your party, such as a park with lots of picnic tables with park benches.
