55There was plenty of space for my two German shepherds to run as much as they wanted. I had mentioned to the host that my 2 year loves to swim and she left towels for us to use near the water and toys they provide. My dogs were too busy chasing each other and the balls to pay attention to the pond this time but we'll definitely be backLeslie M.

55Fun visit with my pup today! He is not recall trained so kept him on leash. He had fun sniffing around and so many nooks and crannies to explore. He wanted to also run around so May need to find a fully fenced location for him but this one is perfect for recallable pets or if your leashed pet needs a new place to explore. Owner is very nice and responsive!Shirley L.

55Fun spot and fantastic host! Pups must have good recall as the property is only partially fenced but Melissa was super communicative about that ahead of time. We saw turkeys on the property and a dog walking past but as long as your dogs arenโt reactive itโs a good time ๐ Lots of little unique spots to play fetch or roam around.Kira H.

55Melissa let me know it was bit messy due to storms but this didnโt stop my girl from enjoying the sniffs! Itโs nice because itโs mixed with trees and some open space to play fetch a bit and a path for me! We will definitely be back. Also very easy to find. Melissa L.

55Remus, my German Shepard and I enjoyed spending time here, so incredibly peaceful. Remus doesnโt do well with other dogs, itโs truly a blessing to go to a place and be able to have him off leash, play and throw his ball with no worries. He always wants to wash his ball, he discovered the pond, perfect. I would highly recommend this wonderful and peaceful place. Melissa, the owner is incredibly kind, we texted many times, she even offered me an complimentary extra half an hour. Remus and I will definitely be back many times. Kim K.

55Iโve been to Sniffspots all over the state โ this one has easily jumped to the top!! Found it on a whim while I was in town, will absolutely book again when visiting family in the area. That said, this spot worked well for my dog and her level of obedience and engagement โ donโt downplay the notes about it being partially fenced. There are clear boundaries and traffic on the road is very minimal, but I would not recommend if your dog is a known runner. I will also add โ this place was so clean!! Covered a good portion of the property and never came across a stray poop! Thank you to the host and to fellow visitors!Calone N.

55**Sniff Spot Review**
We had an awesome time at this gorgeous Sniff Spot facility! It's an absolutely cool little place to hang out with the dogs. Thereโs only one thing the facility is missing, and they clearly let you know from the get-go: unfortunately, it is not completely fenced off. However, this is not a dealbreaker for our awesome pack. The host is amazingโthank you so much for taking great care of our canines. We appreciate you and will be back in the future!

55My two dogs had a great time at this spot! We mostly stayed in one corner that felt the most secure in terms of fencing, but we walked around the pond a few times because they are relatively good at staying near me. I wasnโt expecting them to get into the pond, but one of them surprised me and decided to lie down in the shallow area. Luckily the host provided towels for drying off :) we will be back!Mickie T.

55My dogs and I had a wonderful time here! This was the first Sniffspot my dogs didnโt get tired of, even after over 2 hours. I kept them leashed during our visit and they had a blast walking and exploring the area multiple times over. I rented a paddle boat and we all had a blast! I thought my dogs didnโt like swimming, but they jumped right into the pond with no hesitations and seemed to enjoy the boat ride. The host was very communicative and helpful, and went above and beyond to ensure my dog had a great birthday. We will be back for sure and, to anyone making a reservation, make sure to rent the paddle boat! Montessa G.

FAQ About Elk Grove 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.
