55Another great visit! As expected, the pond is getting a little low this time of year, and we focused on chasing balls in the field and enjoying the views. Such a pretty spot, with lots of options for shade breaks on a sunny day.David L.

55This Sniffspot is wonderful! Very safe, fully fenced. Nice and clean, plenty of sniffing and running. Parking is easy and Antoni was very helpful and showed us the lay of the land before we got off to playing. The dogs ran and played longer than they have in ages, so it was really nice to have water and some areas of shade for a break here and there. We will be back!Samantha S.

55We came here with a big group for my birthday. It was the best time! Plenty of space for 7 cars, the fencing was secure, virtually no foxtails which is impressive, the little shelter area was nice! We brought a little table and some extra chairs but it was nice that there were already some chairs. We all had a great time. Thanks so much for having us!Ali S.

55Nice spot, very quiet and private, fencing is very secure. Both areas are on the steep side, while there is one flatish area.
We hope that what appears to be a man made pond will be filled with water, would be a great addition, especially as we picked one of the hottest days to visit. None the less we had great fun and enjoyed the space.
Thank you,

55This place was worth the wait! Antoni was so friendly, and greeted us for a few minutes to answer some questions we had. I definitely want to come back when everything is green, but what a space! The enclosed area with the pond is so spacious! If your dog doesn’t have a solid recall I suggest staying in there. We walked the outer perimeter which also has fencing, but it is uphill and the grass is pretty long. It’s harder to keep that part of the sniffspot maintained I’m sure, but was still a great sniffari! My rescue found a few lizards to chase 🤣 we had such a great time, and can’t wait to come back when the pond is full and the grass is more green! Thank you, Antoni for being such a kind host! FYI, if you come out here please pick up after your dogs! There’s trash cans available in several spots. We found lots of gifts 🤭 Sarah S.

55Antoni's place is beautiful! Antoni greeted us and showed us around before we got started, which was great. His spot is an easy drive from SF, clean, straightforward water access, extra balls. He even let us in 15 minutes early as I can never get the timing from from SF, I'm either early or late. My boys had so much fun and played fetch for 2 hours! I got a lot of fun photos too. We will be back!

55Very nicely maintained large fenced area. Host was very friendly and showed me around. There’s lots of room for dogs to run. It’s hilly but not hard to walk up. As he’s nosey and likes to guard his yard, my dog did hear neighbors dogs and he wanted to go investigate but they’re across the way and not an issue. Will definitely return and thanks for hosting Lauren D.

FAQ about our Petaluma 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. 96% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Petaluma 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 114 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 17 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.
