55Great space for ball tosses and sniff exploring for my two dogs. Nice green grass and a huge shade tree at the upper end of the property. Be aware it’s not really fenced on two sides. A brief visit from a loose neighbor dog, but he was friendly enough and the owners put him up while we were there. Kristina met us and was very sweet. Mandy B.

55We had a great time exploring this space today! Kristina was so kind and accommodating and made sure we were comfortable. The space itself is not fully fenced as advertised, but I kept my dog on a long leash because he doesn’t have great recall.
Over all the space is very beautiful and has nice serene views. There is soft grass/ground and the ground is moderately slopped. My dog had fun sniffing the barn and the ground! We were both intrigued by the horses next door and had fun observing them.
**Btw, I have a reactive dog so I confirmed with Kristina about whether the neighboring dog would be around and she said that the dog would not be home this weekend. We had no issues with this. **Yasmine J.

55Beautiful property! Well kept, with a convenient little deck (part of the barn). There is a sink and soap, protection from the elements, etc. Really all you could ask for. Lots of space for our handsome boy to run free - easy to get to, and a treat for pawrents as well (sat down and read a book while my pup was doing his thing).
Kristina mentioned that they do plan on completing the fencing around the entire property (which is great), but even as is, I felt quite safe and secure with the current fencing.
The host (Kristina) is incredibly friendly and helpful. She was kind enough to meet us out front to help guide us to the Sniffspot as it was our first visit (thanks Kristina!). Will definitely visit again soon, perhaps with both our pups next time :).Shahryar (Shawn) N.

55Khaleesi and I love this spot! We found it to be fully secure, with lots of room to run and explore. Lots of fresh water and strategically places (clean!) chairs for resting were much appreciated; and the views are gorgeous. Kristie is very pleasant, informative, and customer satisfaction is high on her priority list. We’ll be back!Mona C.

55This is a really nice quiet spot. They provide a large area with fresh water, a ball, a chair and poop removal materials. Host gave clear directions on how to access the spot and explained she was happy to help should anything arise.
This was our first time using Sniffspot and it was a really good experience. Our little puppers was worn out from sniffing after 30 mins! Haha. Rachel M.

55This place is surrounded by lush green mountains. It is peaceful and quiet and my babies had the time of their life here. Kristie, the host, was very friendly and thorough in explaining where to park and how to enter. Her spot is also very well marked with signs. We live far from this spot but will for sure be back!Elena C.

55Super relaxing place to wander around and let my dog sniff and eat grass. Good distance if you play fetch. Might want to bring a towel to dry the chairs on a damp day. Wonderful experience. Thanks!Sybl A.

55This place was wonderful! So much space, and it was clean! Lots of water, trash bins, etc. available. Kristie was very friendly, and was nice enough to keep an eye out for me for early cancellations. We went in the evening around 5pm and we caught the sunset. Perfect way to end our weekend. My pups were tired and fulfilled. Coming back for sure! Sarah S.

55Canine paradise! It was exactly as advertised. A big, beautiful, grassy space with secure fencing, clean and available water, lots and lots of sniffing opportunities, a poop scooper, and garbage cans. My ball-chasing dog chased balls until she couldn't anymore. My difficult dog was a little anxious (typical for her), but she did calm down when there was nothing to stress about. We can't wait to return!Holly N.

55We had such an amazing time at Kristie’s Sniffspot, she was super helpful and responsive and our dog had such an amazing time he did not want to leave! The neighbors were walking some dogs in the distance but cal (our very reactive dog) didn’t seem to notice he was having such a good time. Highly recommend!

55Today was my first Sniffspot experience and let me tell you! I generally don’t do reviews and I wish I took pictures and video for my TikTok but we were having so much fun our phones didn’t matter. I’ve never been able to take Hank and my kids anywhere to play without restrictions and this spot was the perfect place to do that. Sorry Hank dug up a few old squirrel burrows I’ve never seen him do that!he loved it so much. He got to play fetch, and sniff and explore with all my kids unbothered.He loved this place so much he was barking at someone at the entrance cleaning up. I’ve never seen him guard any place but home. Watching Hank be his true authentic self was beautiful. Thank you for sharing your gorgeous puppy oasis with everyone 💕 we will be back
P.S we saw a bald eagle fly over us close enough to be positive it was in fact a bald eagle! Shannon D.

55Kristie is very friendly and welcoming! It’s a nice beautiful big area for pups to run around, and it’s securely fenced. My 2 dogs loved it. There were water buckets and poop bags to use. There’s a small creek on the other side of the fence, it’s very relaxing! We will definitely be coming back again ☺️Yesenia M.

55Another great time at Kristie’s Sniff-spot. Koda always takes good advantage of being off the leash.
Kristie has been making a lot of improvements on the property such of cleaning the maneuver, placing chairs, new water bowls and more.. The spot is fully fenced, safe for dogs to enjoy their free time.

55Our 2nd time here and my pup, Charli absolutely loves romping around, playing ball, and visiting with the neighbors chickens. There is so much room to explore and the hour went by so quickly. Signage for parking and entrance to the fully gated property are visible and make it very easy once you arrive. The host, Kristie is responsive, kind and welcomed us back which means a lot. This is definitely going to be a regular Sniffspot for us!Tracy H.

FAQ about our Pacific Grove 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 Pacific Grove 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 24 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 5 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.
