Please don't allow your dog to dig holes in the Sniffspot venue as it creates a hazard for other dogs that may be running in the space. Sorry to say, but many guests are not doing a very thorough job of picking up their dogs' droppings! In order to keep a clean venue for all to enjoy, I ask that everyone do their best to clean up after their dog\dogs. Thank you!

We had another wonderful time at Palmhill & Caren was nice enough to give us a walking tour. My dogs (2 labs & 1 boxer) had a fabulous time exploring & playing. Thank you for an awesome Memorial Day.
There was so much room to run, so many toys and super easy directions! Will be returning!
Host replied: Thanks so much Stephanie for your complimentary review! I'm delighted to learn that Mattis enjoyed his visit to Palmhill; it always makes me happy to know that the dogs had fun and are content! 🐾❤️🐾
Flat, open field that is fenced completely which my dogs loved! Tons of toys. Freshly scrubbed water bowls with filtered water. I could throw the chuck-it as gar as possible and still have plenty of room. The owner is so nice and really enjoys seeing the dogs having fun. Will be coming here whenever I'm in Valley Center.
Host replied: Thank you Kathleen for your complimentary review and description of our venue at Palmhill. I genuinely do get a kick out of watching dogs run around off leash exploring, playing, chasing and having fun without restriction; that makes me happy! I've met the nicest people and the nicest canine kiddos since becoming a Sniffspot host. It's been a lot of fun! 🐾❤️🐾
So much fun!
Host replied: Hannah, I'm absolutely delighted to hear that Levi had fun visiting us at the farm today! That genuinely makes me happy! 🐾❤️🐾
Another wonderful day with our dogs here. They absolutely love it! So much space to make the long, hard runs and play with each other. Caren is a wonderful host. We hope to be back again before our trip is over. 😊 (The attached photo only shows half of the available space to play.)
really awesome spot! we had a lot of fun, great place to just let your dogs be dogs and run around for a bit. very peaceful for us too nice place to sit and get some shade. Caren was great at welcoming us onto the property and showing us around very friendly.
Host replied: I ❤️ your pics Nomi! It was a pleasure hosting your visit to the farm today. I'm delighted to hear that Sparrow and Addi had a fun time at the venue! Thank you for the positive review and your support; it's very much appreciated!🐾❤️🐾❤️🐾
The field is nicely kept up. There are a few foxtails, but nothing I couldn't handle.
Boaz had another fun visit! The field is safe and secure for unleashed play and running. We especially loved being able to walk around the property so he could say hi to the goats and mini horses ☺️
Host replied: It was lovely seeing you and your very expressive boy again! You are aware are you not that the entire farm is fenced, providing an excellent opportunity for Boaz to be off leash when you take him on the trail; just a suggestion...Nice seeing you all.🐾❤️🐾
On our second visit, Caren met up with us at the Sniff Spot area to chat and offered us a walk through the full property. One of the dogs even took a dip in the pond as we walked through. We all loved it! We are here for a week and will definitely return! Lots of toys available, sunscreen, bug spray, hand sanitizer, disinfecting wipes, tissue, paper towels…nice touch! 😊
Host replied: I really enjoyed meeting and hosting your lovely, well-mannered canine family. It is such a joy being around people who treat their dogs like family. Thank you so much for the complimentary review and description of our venue! We enjoyed having you all! 🐾❤️🐾❤️🐾❤️🐾
Caren was absolutely amazing! She was able to accommodate for my reactive dog by allowing me to greet her outside of the car, she showed us where to park and how to open the gate and left. Aries had an absolute blast it was amazing to see him running freely despite his reactivity. We did see a man on a tractor and people walking by but it didn’t phase Aries. We will definitely be back and i recommend you to bring your pets here especially if they are reactive!
Host replied: I am delighted to hear that your boy, Aries, had fun running, playing, and exploring the venue at Palmhill today! I'm delighted too that he wasn't bothered in the least by any of the end-of-a-busy-work-day-activities going on outside the venue either! What a good boy, Aries! Thank you for your review, recommendation, and support! It was my pleasure to host your visit to Palmhill today and hope to see you and Aries again! 🐾♥️🐾
