55Had SO much fun here! We usually rent Sniffspots to play fetch with our ball obsessed dog but we didn’t even bring his ball out of the bag because there was so much to sniff and explore. We will be coming back, thank you!!Claire H.

55Will definitely be back! My dog got the zoomies he was so happy. Lots to sniff, lots of space to run and walk, and a quiet/enjoyable space. Lots of balls for him to chase. The only downside was a large fountain basin (I think) that was filled with muddy water that he laid in, and now needs a bath. But it rained this morning so I expected a dirty dog. Definitely try it out! Julia H.

55Great visit as usual! Both my dogs enjoyed releasing some energy running around and mental stimulation sniffing galore.
I really appreciate Lilly taking such good care of her property and tackling the never ending battle with foxtails that occur in the area. I know it's not easy to stay on top of removing them! Thankful to have a safe space in the area for my crazy adolescent and deaf senior to run around off leash and just be dogs!Eryn V.

55What a great Sniffspot! Our dogs loved the spot and had lots of trees to shade the area. It was a little tricky finding water so I would just recommend bringing your own. The dogs had plenty of space to run around, play with a ball and chase each other. Candace R.

55This is a great spot! Our pup loved exploring and sniffing around to her heart’s content. We also briefly met the host when we arrived and she was so sweet to us and our dog. We will likely be back :)Katie T.

55The garden had a large space for my puppy to sniff and run around and for me to do a recall practice with him. Parking was a little bit tricky because I believe that it was a Saturday morning. I will definitely visit again.Sunny L.

55My dogs love sniffing and exploring here, and there’s space for my bigger guy to get his zoomies out. I also like how peaceful it is, with the exception of the neighbor’s big dogs who do come out and bark a bit sometimes. It doesn’t bother my dogs though :)Stevie R.

55Super fun and relaxing spot. If your dog is highly dog reactive keep in mind the the neighbors dogs might be out playing, however only a small part of the fence is shared with them. The fence is also pretty low in some parts (maybe 4 ft high, not the part shared with other dogs) so keep that in mind if you have a big dog that likes to jump over fences. None of that was an issue for us we had a great time and my dog had plenty of space for zoomies. There are also tons of plants to sniff. Definitely recommend, just wanted to add those details for people who might want to know 🙂.Ella C.

Gene's Fully Fenced Yard For Dogs To Rent In Oakland | Sniffspot
55First time visiting any sniffspot and it went well! Have a 10 month old Belgian Malinois who is not socialized and needs a way to get her exercise in. Quiet neighborhood with no dogs out at the time we were visiting, which was perfect for us. Yard is part grass and part dirt road/pavement. My pup had a great time and didn’t want to leave either. Gene was also very accommodating despite the fact that I reached out the day before the reserved time.Rebecca C.

Park-like Backyard. Acre to roam. Lots of stuff to do. | Sniffspot
55We had a great time in this neat space! Our dog loved zooming around and hopping on the logs, and tossing around pine cones. The hosts were lovely and very understanding. It is muddy after rain but I think it adds to the fun for the pups, just be sure to wear practical shoes :)Yishian Y.

55Arrived at sniff spot location and was hesitate about parking on the street because I didn’t think and or saw any other cars parked. Walked into the area and my pup loved it, it has rained the night before so it was a bit muddy but knew it before arriving. Great space for him to run around and went on little laps since there was a little trial that goes in a circle since he was a bit obsessed with a pine cone that he found.Pam H.

55What a wonderful spot for our girl! Our pit is extremely reactive to strangers and other dogs so this place was like heaven to her!! She ran and zoomed around like a puppy all off leash!!!! I am so grateful a spot like this exists!!!
We got to briefly meet the home owners and they were super nice!
The chicken coop did attract our girl but fortunately she was rescued and stayed in a home with chickens so she was ok - and we could keep her occupied in another part of the yard - I did feel kinda bad for the chickens though cause when she went to the coop they freaked out a bit.
Bring water cause their are small ponds that would not be good for dogs to drink - really happy this place exists and we will be back for sure!Micki C.

FAQ about our Moraga dog parks
Are dog parks good for dogs?
