55The most amazing spot. We went to celebrate my husky turning 3 and he spent most of the time in and out of the pool and exploring the beautiful space. Thank you Araceli for your kindness and for making my babyβs birthday the best ever! Lauren S.

55Very beautiful sniffspot! I have a reactive dog and this was a pleasant experience. The owner does have a dog(s) but you could hardly hear them. There were dogs far away you could somewhat hear but my dog didn't mind. The location gives me trail/hiking vibes but in a large backyard setting so it was great to see how my dog could potentially do in a trail environment. It is a bit slope-y so be mindful of that but I managed to get down safely with my three month old in my arms. There was a spot where it was flat enough for place the stroller with shade and chairs overlooking the hill/backyard so that was great! Plenty of water, bowls, and toys around!Maribel R.

55I was a little worried about wildlife dangers like snakes (which can appear anywhere) especially because my 21 lb dog loves bouldering to look for lizards. I was delighted that the property was very clean, brush cleared/pathways and a wonderland for my dog! I walked around with him when we first arrived like I do anywhere to look for anything he could get into trouble with (he will fine it!) but it was a safe and secure sniffspot. It's a beautiful view and the shaded spots, chairs, and trash buckets appreciated. I also noticed pathway lights if you are there when sunlight is running out. We will definitely be back!Kim W.

55Doggy Disneyland! So many sniffies, giant boulders and bushes. Water and bowl, seating for humans. The whole yard is on a slope, so wear climby shoes. Note to self: Don't schedule for the day after leg day. Oof. Sue M.

55Lolaβs first Sniffspot was a success!!! Cindyβs private yard is like Disneyland for the pups. Lola is easily pleased with one tennis ball, and there was a whole bucket for her!! She had so much fun playing fetch. My partner and I also enjoyed playing with her with no worries. Highly recommend an early morning slot to catch the gorgeous sunrise over the canyon!!! Thank you, Cindy!!!Briana P.

55Lots of places to smell for curious dogs. Suki loved going up and down the hill, and got super tired too. Having access to fresh water was pretty convenient. (The shaded chairs were also great!)Dolores O.

55My dog is reactive so we have very few places we can go and play together where we can relax and not worry about triggers. No triggers to worry about here! And my dog LOVED it - he got to do his two favorite things, chase balls and splash around in a kiddie pool. We will definitely be back!Laura C.

55What a wonderful place! So peaceful and the perfect place to enjoy running or lounging in a hammock. Hope and I loved the trampoline the most :β) Taylor B.

FAQ about our Cathedral City 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 Cathedral City 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 166 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 14 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.
