55Wow. What an amazing spot. Not only did I get a scenic walk with my pup, but we also got a beautiful spot on the river to let my pup romp, play fetch, and just soak up some peace and quiet without having to worry about anything. Plus, Robin is an amazing host. Looking forward to many more fun outings at the PoJo Ranch!Rebekah S.

55This property is amazing! Robin met and brought me to the beginning of the trail, she was very nice! There is a nice long walk around the property, then you reach some trails in the forest that lead to a river! My dog hasn't been this tired in years. I will definitely be going back!Brianna R.

55It provides the best of both worlds, a trail that your dog can roam off leash and the river for pups to play in. There were people over at another beach across from us and people going by on kayaks but my dogs didn’t seem to mind. We had a great time and can’t wait to go back.Susi K.

55I’ve been to Pajo ranch a number of times now with my dog Lola, and we both really love it. So much space and in the multiple times I’ve been there, I’ve only come across people once, which was a couple of fishermen down by the river. It’s a pretty easy walk as the trails are cleared and there aren’t any elevation changes until you get to the river, at which point you’ll have to negotiate a small sandy incline to get to the river. You’ll definitely need some guidance to get to the river on your first visit, but once you know how to get there it’s easy to find. There really isn’t any shade, so on a hot sunny day it can get really warm. So make sure you bring some water for yourself and your pup. All in all it’s a wonderful place to spend some time alone with your dog(s), and I am very grateful that the owners have made this space available.Sang K.

55On a weekday we didn’t see a single person, aside from Robin (who was friendly and helpful!) and some people fishing way down the river. My dog loved sniffing and swimming, I picked some blackberries, and enjoyed the beautiful views.Bella R.

55We had a great time exploring PaJo Ranch with our Luna dog! We live in Seattle so our reactive pup doesn’t get a lot of off leash time to decompress and just be a dog. 2 hours at PaJo Ranch was perfect! Huge farm field to romp in, woods at the back of the property to explore, and a large chunk of private riverfront all our own! We’ll be back for sure!Rob S.

55This is such an amazing spot. So incredibly beautiful and peaceful....medicine for the soul. Every step is enjoyable....from the big crop field to the wooded trails to the river. We have been here many times and, outside of people across the river at a far distance, have never seen another living creature. Cooper runs around like a nut collecting rocks, rolling around in the grass and splashing about in the river and I can totally relax here. Really special place, we love it here. ♥Susan D.

55With so much space and no need to touch a thing, this is heaven on earth for people and dogs during this time of social distancing requirements. The fields were beautiful and planted with a mustard cover crop getting ready for the spring planting. The dogs enjoyed romping through the mustard and even sampled some. It's an organic farm so I was not worried about pesticides. The water was cold so no swimming today for my dogs but they did enjoy some wading and the fresh water bowl called the river. Robin, the host, is a kind, passionate person who loves animals and is a pleasure to talk to. There were deer tracks but no deer to be seen. There are geese and geese poop but minimal as best I could tell and once we arrived they flew away. I'm sure my dogs enjoyed some deer and goose poop but it's nature and as long as I kept moving so did they. It was a pleasure to get out and stretch and enjoy some fresh air. Can't wait to return. Didn't see another person other than Robin for the first 10 minutes or so and not another dog or wildlife other than birds including eagle, heron, geese and songbirds.Bonnie W.

55Another great visit to PaJo Ranch! The mustard was in bloom on the west side of the field which was a treat. It was beautiful and Luna got to practice her gazelle jumps through the high greens! The water was too cold for swimming, but Luna enjoyed wading around. After a couple weeks of working from home, it was great to be out enjoying nature for a couple hours. Thanks again for sharing your space!Rob S.

55What a wonderful experience. This sniff spot was clearly marked, easy to find and our host was friendly and informative. The area was a wonderful mix of fields for running, forest trails for sniffing and a wide, slow river for water play. The two hour minimum time limit made it more expensive but it was well worth the money and we truly needed the two hours to explore all this property has to offer. We will 100 percent be back!Jennifer C.

55Pajo Ranch was a great sniff spot to visit! Robin was very helpful in giving us directions (don't follow what Google Maps says at end, you need to stay on the main road until you see the Sniffspot sign) and helped us get our bearings when we first arrived. We walked around the large field to get to the trail down to the river, and our dog had so much fun being able to splash around in the water and running in the big open space. We didn't see any other people in the two hours while we were there, and our dog was good and tired by the time we left. We will definitely come back to enjoy it again!Imee T.

Tripper's Creekside Fenced Park 5.9Acre RAIN SHELTER & FULL LIGHTS for After Dark Water Training Obstacles Picnic Table Chairs | Sniffspot
55Amazing Sniffspot location with two different zones to let dogs run in - one in the front with open fields and tree stumps to run around, and then a field in the back with a beautiful creek running through. There was a tarped area to get out of the rain (for us) and/or direct sun on a nicer day. The owner was incredibly welcoming and we bought eggs from his free range chickens. Will definitely be going back!
There are a few spots where a small dog could escape under the fence, especially near the creek where it’s hard to fully block. My 10lb chihuahua/terrier had no interest in escaping, but we stayed away from those areas and had no problem. Sarah G.

FAQ about our Coupeville dog beaches
Are dog beaches safe?
While public dog parks have a number of safety issues, such as aggressive dogs, disease transmission and general cleanliness, Sniffspot dog parks are 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 park users so you can find the perfect safe place for you and your dog. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits are 5 stars.
Start by applying basic filters, such as fencing and distractions, to find a dog park that works for your furry friends. If your dog doesn't respond to owner commands, you can visit one of our enclosed dog park areas. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our dog beach sites where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can see any park amenities provided, including a park bench, water for dogs or water features such as kiddie pool or water hose. If your dog loves water, you can go to a park with water features, but if they don't love water, you can avoid them. We also recommend reading reviews to check for park maintenance issues and reaching out to the host with any questions. And lastly, of course, check park hours. Many of our parks are open from dawn until dusk.
What are the requirements to bring my dog to a Sniffspot park?
We require that all dogs have basic vaccinations or equivalent titers. We do not allow dogs with a bite history. We require that owners sign our waiver and agree to follow our safety rules. We also require that pet owners follow safety protocols around water features.
Will there be other dogs at the Sniffspot park at the same time as me?
No. We only allow one booking at a time and any host dogs are required to be kept away from the area during visits. So when you book a Sniffspot park you have the entire place to yourself and your dog-owning friends if you invite them. We also enforce 30 min time buffers between bookings so you will not run into other park patrons when coming or leaving.
How much do Sniffspot dog beaches cost?
Dog beaches in the Coupeville area range from $5.0 and $5.0. The least expensive dog beach is Heron's Creek in Maltby. The most expensive dog beach is Heron's Creek in Maltby. Each host sets their own price, so you can check the price on the specific Sniffspot dog park listing.
Can I have an event or party at a dog beach?
If you are planning an amazing dog beach party, each Sniffspot park has their own rules regarding special events. Many parks allow doggie birthday parties, training, water parties and other event types. Event organizers need to be responsible for their guests and event organizers should coordinate with the host regarding their fun party. Make sure the park has amenities you need for your party, such as a park with lots of picnic tables with park benches.
