Dog’s paradise in El Cerrito. Reserve a sweet little spot for you and your pup to play, dig with the gophers, or run around for a bit. I’ve added a gorgeous chaise lounge and chairs with an umbrella for pet parents who need a break, as well as a rainbow water feature to cool off. Due to rising operating expenses, however, water play is an add-on. Thanks to the generosity of one of our regulars, we now have agility equipment that is free to use. We would love to host you in our back yard oasis! ***Small dog boarding available by appointment.*** I am also launching a boutique dog birthday party business for personally-curated backyard doggie celebrations. Message me to learn more!

Most visitors find the lawn size ample for running around and throwing a ball a bit, but if you are looking for a field to throw a tennis ball as far as you possibly can with a Chuck-it, the yard is not really the right size and shape for that, sorry!

What people say about small dog parks around El Cerrito, California

Lori G.

October 2022

We loved it! A beautiful location/ gorgeous views/ and gorgeous property. My doggie went crazy for the big ball toy; and my little guy accidentally jumped right into the pool unknowingly of what it was. A great first swim lesson. My only concern is that the only exit out of the pool for the doggies, is the small stairway at the end. The drop into the water is too great for the doggies to exit from the sides. Please keep this in mind! That you will also need to be inside of the pool with your dogs at all times, in order to direct them to the correct exit (or they could potentially drown). Overall a wonderful experience and a little slice of paradise! We would love to book again!! P.s. my apologies for my doggies loud barking! She was after the toys in the pool and was very frustrated she could not reach them to get them out 🤣 🐶

Bruce M.

October 2022

It is a beautiful space. Penny (dachshund) loved to explore and take in the scents. She was more interested in the toys there than what we brought. The host was an excellent communicator.

Carolyn A.

November 2022

Beautiful yard, pool and home. We brought our dogs for an hour to just run around together and do a little training. They enjoyed the toys and the big sticks the host left out, and just sniffing around. Thank you

Vee M.

November 2022

Beautiful, well maintained property. It was quiet and felt very private. Easy in and out, and great communication from host. My dog loved the grass and the toys available. We had a great time! There was plenty of space, shady and sunny spots, different levels of terrain. It was perfect and we'll be back!

Susan F.

We loved this very clean yard. Plenty of room to play. Next summer I'm booking the pool. Thank you.

What a beautiful, serene space to enjoy some dog time. Willow loved exploring and rolling in the soft grass. The stick library was her favorite!

Jaclyn P.

This was the perfect place for my dog to roam about in a fenced area! My dog loved playing fetch, sniffing the grass and plants, and rolling around in the grass :)

Karin was very responsive to our message when we had some trouble getting in the gate. A really lovely, secure space. My reactive dog was able to relax and had a great time. The toy and stick boxes were a hit, too! We will definitely be back.

Shelly loved picking out and playing with her favorite stick from your selection of “pup sticks” provided. Always such a great experience. Thanks for having us back!

We scheduled a going away party for my dog and some of her best friends. We spent a little extra to rent the pool. The dogs had the time of their lives! Such a great send out. So appreciative that my reactive pup had a safe place to go with all her best friends 💜

This yard was really nice. Easy to access. Very clean and also beautiful. We only got to stay for some of the time because it started to rain but I would book this spot again.

Hannah C.

Great property for a dog play date! Our dogs loved running around on the lawn and exploring back behind the lemon tree. There is a long paved area that was great for fetch! Lots of quality sticks and fun things provided.

Dani B.

January 2023

What a wonderful spot to spend some time with the pups! I have a decent sized yard, but never underestimate the value of a new adventure to your dogs and your relationship with them! It’s a beautiful and peaceful space with lots of spots for exploration! Of course my dogs decided to potty in the garden and I had to climb in there to clean up so I apologize to the wonderful hosts for my trespassing. I tried to be very careful. This is a 45 minute drive from my house and was absolutely worth it! Thank you to the hosts for a great place to take my dogs to kickoff 2023!!!

Leslie P.

January 2023

We visited this spot on our first day of no rain. Our dogs were so excited and happy to be there. Just enough room for three active dogs to think they had gone to the beach!!

Out first time using the app! We are very happy that we were able to bring the pups to play. We have a pit mix and she is dog aggressive and is always stuck at home. She had a great time!

We heard a few dog barks and some people talking, but every noise was so far that our reactive pup was comfortable the whole time. Thanks for sharing your yard with a struggling heeler family 💚

FAQ About El Cerrito Small Dog Parks

Are small 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 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 place for you and your dog. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits are 5 stars.

How can I find small dog parks in El Cerrito?

There are 174 small dog parks in the El Cerrito area. The most popular small dog park is . You can browse all of our small dog parks here.

How do I know if a small dog park works for my dog?

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 small dog park 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?

Sniffspot only allows one booking at a time and any host dogs are required to be kept away from the spot during visits. We also enforce 30 min time buffers between bookings.

How much do Sniffspot small dog parks cost?

Small dog parks in the El Cerrito area range from $4.0 and $. The least expensive small dog park is Ryan's Private Dog Park In Walnut Creek. The most expensive small dog park is Ohlone Dog Park. 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 small dog park?

If you are planning an amazing small dog park 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.
