Sam's Fully Fenced Yard for Dogs To Rent in San Jose

Fully Fenced
0.02 acres

Dear Sniffspot friends, I've closed the calendar in February so that I may repair and lawn and regrow grass. I look forward to welcoming you and your dogs back to play and relax in March. You'll also notice that I've lowered the price by $1. Houses in my neighborhood are close to one another, and I want to respect my neighbors. Of course dogs bark, though if your dog is likely to bark continually throughout the visit, my Sniffspot may not be the best fit.

Winter Creek Dog Park In San Jose

Fully Fenced
0.5 acres

June 22: The parking area to the fully-fenced area have been mowed short. We have tried to eliminate as many foxtails as possible. I am waiting on a tractor service for the hillside - the grass is taller w/ foxtails so recommend avoiding until it is mowed. SUMMER: Recommend AM visits before 10am or evening after 5pm. Our spot is full sun with very limited shade. We are trying to eliminate the foxtails but we have a large property and cannot guarantee we get all of them. **Horses visible in adjacent property occasionally Additionally, guests can enjoy the adjacent hillside which is partially-fenced. You are welcome to enjoy this off-leash or, if you're more comfortable, take a little stroll through the grass. NOTE: There may be foxtails and ticks in this area.

Private swimming hole in the redwoods. Please read all "rules" and all "access instructions" after booking.

Partially Fenced
2 acres

This is a private, undeveloped, forested spot. If you are interested in this spot, you and your dog should be up for a mini adventure. This spot is not a manicured, backyard park. It is wild and beautiful, and a rare find in this area. THERE IS NO TRASH SERVICE AT THIS FOREST LOCATION. PACK EVERYTHING OUT WITH YOU, INCLUDING DOG POOP BAGGIES. The trail starts at the west (downhill) end of the parking spot, and winds downhill to the creek (there are a couple of switchbacks). The trail from the parking area to the creek is less than 5 minutes long. At the bottom of the trail, is a deck. Beyond the deck is a year-round creek with a swimming hole. There are fish, frogs, newts, and crawdads. All wildlife is protected, so please don't catch or remove them. You may walk up and down along the creek exploring, as long as you turn around before the bend that is downstream. The trail that leads downhill to the creek is intermediate, not for beginners or flip-flops. There should be no poison oak or ticks on the trail, but if you venture off the trail, you may encounter poison oak or ticks. There are blackberry bushes to the sides of the trail that resemble poison oak. There should be no foxtails. You may see wild animals. As a wild spot, you may encounter typical hazards that are present in most local forest trails, such as wildlife, water, and trip-and-fall hazards. This is a private spot, and there should be no other people or dogs during your booking. If you see someone during your booking, please let us know as soon as possible, so that we can take steps to prevent them from trespassing again. There is no lighting at this spot, so if you book before sunrise or after sunset, please bring a headlamp or flashlight. Maximum 2 people per dog. There is no trash collection service at this location, so please pack out any trash. Thank you!

Your Complete Guide to Dog Parks in San Jose


Rolled up to Hellyer Park's off-leash area on a Sunday and spent twenty minutes circling for parking before giving up? Or tried Watson Park when it's packed with tech workers and their under-exercised pandemic puppies who have zero social skills? San Jose dog owners know the deal. The public off-leash dog parks get absolutely slammed on weekends, traffic makes getting anywhere a commitment, and finding a spot with actual grass instead of dirt and foxtails feels like winning the Silicon Valley lottery.


San Jose's got public spots scattered around—Hellyer Park, Watson Park, Butcher Dog Park in Campbell, Miyuki Dog Park in Willow Glen—but here's what you're actually getting. Overcrowded fenced-in areas where your dog can barely move, codes and signs about vaccination requirements, collars and tags, current tag information, and water stations that desperately need refilling by noon. Dog owners from Willow Glen to Almaden Valley to North San Jose are ditching the public park chaos. They're booking private Sniffspot yards where their dog isn't competing with fifty others for space. No dog bite situations with someone's reactive rescue, no parking nightmares, just reliable fenced-in land.


Why San Jose Dog Owners Love Private Dog Parks


Public off-leash areas here have real limitations. Dog's still working on recall? You need secure fencing, not hoping they won't bolt toward 101. It's September and still hitting 85? Water fountains and shade matter more than you'd think. Dog gets anxious around large dogs or overwhelmed in chaotic play areas full of high-energy working-from-home dogs? Private bookings eliminate all that stress.


San Jose Sniffspot hosts understand South Bay life. Properties with actual shade trees (not just baking sun), agility equipment for smart breeds who get bored easily, clean spaces with working water stations, yards where your dog can decompress without constant stimulation. Nobody's checking if other dogs are spayed or neutered. Not worrying about communicable diseases in spaces that see hundreds of dogs weekly. Training with food or treats? Way more effective without competing tech campus dog energy.


What Your San Jose Dog Actually Needs


San Jose dogs need more than standard off-leash dog parks. Fully fenced yards without foxtails waiting to attack paws. Water stations that actually work during dry California summers. Proper waste stations and bag stations for dog defecation cleanup. Walking areas with maintained ground cover, not just packed dirt that turns to dust. Space where they can run without dodging poorly socialized dogs whose owners are on Zoom calls.


Where to Find Dog Parks in San Jose


Over 330 Sniffspots cover San Jose and the South Bay. Willow Glen, Almaden Valley, Rose Garden, Naglee Park, Cambrian Park, Evergreen, Berryessa, North San Jose, West San Jose, Campbell, Los Gatos, Saratoga, Cupertino, Sunnyvale, Santa Clara, Milpitas, Morgan Hill. Even Gilroy if you're heading south.


Filter for dog fields for runners, fenced-in areas with shade, agility equipment for bored smart dogs.


Pro Tips for San Jose Dog Park Visits


Book early morning or evening to avoid heat and crowds. Bring water always (California dry heat dehydrates fast), poop bags for waste stations, maybe booties if it's really hot. Check for foxtails before letting your dog loose. Summer means book shaded spots. Food or treats for training? Keep them cool in your car.


The Sniffspot advantage: your time is completely private. No off-leash dogs while their owners take conference calls. No navigating South Bay dog park politics. No circling Hellyer for parking just to access overcrowded space. Just dependable fenced-in land where your dog can run without Silicon Valley chaos. Browse hundreds of San Jose options above and book your spot.

55This space is awesome, and Marie is a great host! I brought my two dogs to get some energy out and they had so much fun. There was plenty of seating for my husband and I to chill while they ran around. We will be coming back!

55Lovely yard with room for my husky to run! Lots of seating for people and shady areas as well. The host was so gracious; she left out towels in case my dog got dirty/muddy. Highly recommend.

55The house is on a cul-de-sac in a neighborhood near Oakridge Mall. The owner messaged me that I could park in her driveway. The gate to the backyard is to the left of the driveway, really easy to find. Sniffspot lists the house number as 963 but really it’s 971. My friend and I wanted our dogs to meet in a neutral space off leash and this was perfect! Very affordable, very well maintained and plenty of room for the dogs to run. The way it was set up was pleasant for the humans, too. It’s a wonderful resource for those of us who live in San Jose and we will be back!

55Beautiful pool, lots of pool toys and life jackets. The host was super accommodating when we had to reschedule due to illness. I will add that the pool has about a 4 ft ledge above the pool on one side, just something to keep in mind for old or sight challenged doggies like mine but we had no problem. Will come back again.

55We celebrated our dog’s birthday here and it was the best experience. Amanda is sooo kind and generous. Her backyard is very spacious and well cared for. We had 3 dogs and they all had a great time. She kindly let us borrow a table and allowed us in early to set up the decorations. All the instructions were clearly given. We had a great experience with our first Sniffspot! Thank you Amanda.

55My first time using any Sniffspot! The details provided to find and enter the property were clear. The gates made bringing my dogs in and out very secure. I was a little worried because I heard barking as soon as I entered the driveway but luckily nothing that came out. Everything was as pictured, clean pool and supplies out on a table. Highly recommend and will come back in the future.

55We had so much fun here. The pool is a great size and there’s also some space for the dogs to run and sniff outside of the pool. One thing I would warn against is the hot tub that’s elevated from the pool which could be a hazard if you’re not fully watching your dog. Unfortunately our pup is still warming up to bodies of water, but we loved this Sniffspot to give him some space to become more comfortable

55This was great for our young dog's first Sniffspot visit. Clean, well fenced, easily located from the directions. Our dog is a little nervous in new places, and she noticed traffic passing on the other side of the fence, but as she couldn't see it through the high wooden fence, she soon settled and enjoyed her visit. This was a great first experience, and we aim to make this a regular trip. Thanks for a great place to let our dog relax and just hang out. :)

55We had a wonderful time celebrating our dog's first birthday party here! The yard was very clean and well equipped. There was plenty of space for all the doggies to run around and ample shade as well. The host is so helpful, communicative and thoughtful. She even let us borrow a few folding tables for our party, which we really appreciated. We hope to be back here again soon! :)

Frequently asked questions about San Jose dog park

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. 2% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the San Jose 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 233 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 349 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.
