55Amazing. Worth the drive from the city, our dog was soo happy. Hose + water were great to have. There's a nice natural stone slab in the shade to sit on (plus the shade shelters). Worth it just to see our dogs little tail bounce up and down in the tall grass. Thank you!!!Jessica T.

55My dogs and I had such a great time here! Antoni is a great host and he was so kind to walk us around his land since it was our first visit. My pups really enjoyed exploring and splashing in the seasonal pond. So many places to sniff and lovely shaded areas as well as plenty of sun. Looking forward to our next visit!Natalia M.

55Fantastic place! My dogs liked Antoni, the property is fun, varied and securely fenced. My younger dog enjoyed swimming and fetching her disc while my older dog ambled around.
Will definitely return once we're back in the area again.Angela P.

55This was a fabulous spot to spend a few hours with our pups. They loved the varied terrain and spaces. The water station helped beat our pups' thirst and we spent a lovely afternoon under the shade of an oak. Of course, we went during high season for ticks! It took a bit of time to remove them from our pups and ourselves. But we'll be back when the ticks die down somewhat as we so enjoyed walking around this beautiful, peaceful property. Thank you, Antoni!Diane S.

55A beautiful property! It was great to have lots of spaces to explore and shady spots to rest in. Luna loved it! As a heads up, wear shoes with traction - the fields are hilly! Gillian C.

55Second time coming here and Both my dogs had so much fun and enjoyed the spot. Pretty accommodating, we arrived 10mins early and he let us stay the full hour of the scheduled booking. He’s building a new pond and my bulldog had a blast. My German shepherd enjoyed the birds and ran around chasing them( in a friendly way). The grass is Just a little overgrown but my dogs Absolutely loved this spot. Will definitely come back. Jasmer May B.

55We had a great time. The grass is dried out but the hillside above the pond is mowed, and there are mowed paths on the other side. I saw foxtails but it is California in the summer, and I found none on any of our 3 dogs after our excursion. Everything was really clean. Youngest dog had fun fishing tennis ball out of pond now that she is comfortable with water, and it kept her cool.Spent most of our time around the pond and hillside above it but did climb up to the shade under the big eucalyptus tree on the other side. Dry grass is a bit slick so wear good shoes. David L.

55This spot is epic! The host, Antoni, met us upon arrival and was lovely. The space was awesome- it was a hot day and the pond was unexpected and enthusiastically enjoyed. The dogs ran up the grassy hill to chase the ball and then into the water- it was an amazing experience. We will be back!! 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽Julianne W.

55Great spot! We stayed in the fenced hill/pasture. Dogs had a blast running up and down the hill and exploring the shaded areas and rocks. Nice cool breeze in the shaded areas and under the structure. Warning that this time of year it heats up around midday and ticks are abound! We picked a few off our dogs and ourselves. Will definitely visit again and try venturing more.Ashley D.

FAQ about our Petaluma 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 Petaluma area range from $20.0 and $20.0. The least expensive dog field is Acres in the Forest. The most expensive dog field is Acres in the Forest. Each host sets their own price, so you can check the price on the specific Sniffspot dog park listing.
