55We all had an absolute blast at this new to us SniffSpot. Three of the hounds & BC just loved wading in the pool & wandering the large grass areas, lots of shade areas to sit. Alison & Mike are super responsive & caring hosts we will most definitely be back 😎Anne S.

55Our dog Nova had a blast! She loved splashing and running around in the pond. There were plenty of balls and toys for us to throw for her and a good size field for her to run around. The gazebo provided plenty of shade and was a nice area to take a break from the heat! Kiona P.

55The property is amazing! Lots to sniff and the perfect swim! Appreciate the easy instructions and amazing communication.
Tiny dogs (13 pounds or so) can slip under the entrance gate.
Neighbor (I think?), riding his bike with two black labs off leash, made two passes on the road stopping at the gate and loitered. A bit antagonistic to dogs off leash in a secure sniff spot.
Appreciate the property owners again for quick response and amazing property. The nerds and I appreciate you. Corin P.

55This was our very first Sniffspot visit. We had a great time! Alison was super communicative and made it an easy process. The dogs and kids had a wonderful time. There was a lot to keep them busy! We couldn’t find the fresh water for bowls, but we didn’t want to intrude on their space. Everyone definitely needed a bath afterward! So fun! Susan A.

55Great pond for dogs! My girl goes in water but is still unsure about actually swimming, so the pond being not too deep is perfect for helping her. And it's generally a great space to run & explore new sniffs! Easy to communicate with host's too.Nan C.

55Our dog, Oliver loved going to Allison's place. He had so much fun sniffing around and playing fetch in the water, which is one of his favorite things to do. We loved sitting under the shaded gazebo while watching him have fun. We will definitely be back!Kristen S.

55We loved this spot! My dog had a wonderful time in the water and She loved being able to run around and explore without me having to watch her every move. There was plenty of space to chase the ball and then the water to cool down in! There was plenty of comfortable seating in the sun and in the shade for those of us with fairer complexions! Towels were provided for the dog and a hose etc
We had come from Sacramento to try this place out and got a little delayed en route but Alison kindly let us stay a little over our allotted time, which was much appreciated.
The place was easy to find with the GPS and although road leading up to the property was somewhat uneven overall accessibility was excellent.
Overall would definitely recommend Alison’s place - we passed a very pleasant hour and could easily have spent longer!
Thank you Alison! Julie B.

55Finding the Sniff Spot was easy, with good instructions and directions provided. This spot had a little table of toys, which was really cute! My dogs loved the novelty of someone else’s toys; I really appreciate that towels were provided, Thank you!Fiona O.

FAQ about our Cotati dog fields
Are dog fields safe?
If you are looking for an adventure, but also looking for safety, Sniffspot dog fields are a great option. While public dog parks have a number of safety issues, such as aggressive dogs, distracted dog owners, disease transmission and general cleanliness, Sniffspot dog parks are much safer than public dog parks. With Sniffspot all bookings are private space for just you and doggy friends you bring with you and we require all dogs to be vaccinated (or have equivalent titers). Especially for training, privacy is ideal. Contrary to public dog parks, all Sniffspot locations are vetted and reviewed by guests so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog for off leash exercise or outdoor training. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits are 5 stars, while public dog parks often do not even have verified reviews. All payment is done securely online by credit card in a few simple clicks.
All park rental information is available online. Start by filtering parks by fencing, size and distractions, to find a private spot that works for your dog. If your dog has poor recall, you can visit one of our secure fields. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our dog fields where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can review the details of the listing to make sure it works as your desired activity space, for example, safe dog exercise, dog training, a stress-free adventure with your furry friend or even a puppy event. You can even check the park amenities chart for amenities such as indoor training facilities, agility field, synthetic turf, exercise balls or field parking availability in advance. If inclement weather is an issue or poor field conditions, you can reschedule your visit up to 2 hours in advance.
What are the requirements to bring my dog to a Sniffspot dog field?
We require that all four-legged friends have basic vaccinations or equivalent titers. We do not allow dogs with a bite history. We require that guests sign our waiver and agree to follow our safety rules. Make sure to check host rules before visiting to ensure, for instance, that you are following allowable sports activities rules and any special events rules.
Will there be other dogs at the Sniffspot field at the same time as me?
No. Facility rentals are for private play time and any host dogs are required to be kept away from the area during visits, so this is perfect for a private adventure for you and your doggie friends, and perhaps a human friend. Hosts understand that many guests have dogs in training and are nervous owners. So when you book a Sniffspot dog field you have the entire private spot to yourself. We also enforce 30 min time buffers between time slots so you will not run into other guest dogs or a previous person when coming or leaving in the field parking area. Some hosts may have multiple fields, but there is always a buffer between fields.
