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.

55I am so happy to have found Kristina’s wonderful back 40 for my pup River to burn off some steam. I loved that it was a slope which made River work harder for his chuckit. There’s a nice old stable building with water and a trash can. There’s plenty of sun and shade. I will definitely be back , River didn’t want to leave.
Thank you Kristina for hosting your beautiful field for lucky dogsCarolyn B.

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.

55Very large area for dogs to run around and play with short grass covering the entire area. It rained a good amount while we were there, but some of the trees on the property provided good cover from the rain. Definitely would recommend this spot for dogs that love to run/play fetchRyan M.

55Third time there! Love it so much that I am joining the Sniffpass today so I can go regularly. Highly recommend this place. Perfect for my reactive dog to have a safe place to romp. Rarely see neighbors on the other side of fence which is a godsend for us. Jeanine S.

55This Sniffspot was amazing! It was clean & there were no dogs nearby so my dog & his friend could run around freely without worrying about other dogs. The space is huge so our dogs were able to explore off leash & they were super happy by the end of the visit. Priscilla R.

55Absolutely lived up to all the reviews. Instructions were perfect, including a designated area for parking. The field was massive with shade, sunlight and a ton of space for dogs to run. It’s heaven for dogs. Will absolutely return. Steven N.

55We had great second trip here, our dogs loved exploring the area it was a good size for the explore but still be able to have visuals on them.This was our second time visiting this spot, the first time wasn’t ideal the area was coved in maybe cow pies and holes that made me nervous of our dogs getting caught while they ran. We took a chance and tried it again and the experience was SO much better! The area was clean and the holes were filled in, there was also large water buckets for the dogs which they absolutely loved so happy we decided to give it a second chance our dogs had a blast!

55The place was very inviting, water and clean up supplies were easy access. The field had a nice hill where even my wife and I was able to get in a nice walk, walking the field and not having to have a leash on Bodie. We all three left happy and excised.Lonnie P.

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. 97% 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.
