55Robin, the host, was great, super nice and friendly. The ranch is huge! There is about a 15-20 minute walk to get to the off leash area but you can drive it if you'd prefer. There are trails for running, trees for shade then down to the river to cool off and swim. My dog needs space to run and this place was perfect!Erika S.

55This Sniff Spot is amazing, with a nice long walk down to the river. Great for the dogs to run around. We met up with a friend and their dog and the dogs loved playing in the river together and sniffing all of the blackberry bushes.Sarah N.

55Amazing large area for my pups to run. Access to a river to splash around in. Basically your own private national park. Cannot recommend it enough. Host is super responsive and sweet.Daniel L.

55Access to the River is so much fun. We really loved it here, again! I will plan a longer reservation next time, so we can enjoy the river even longer (because I love not rushing the walk down there too...so much to smell). Robin is a positive presence :) Thanks, Robin! If your dog is reactive to things and people in the distance you may want to arrange to scout the location ahead of time, or take a second person, if you plan to work on DS/CC training or rehab. There isn't a fence down near the River portion, of course, and the occasional surprise person/groups of people have appeared during both our visits. But we still loved it and will come back again for sure.Erin D.

55"There are so many reasons to love Pajo ranch.
-Robin is very nice and really gets dogs. She is accommodating if your dog is reactive or needs more space.
-The river is beautiful for the humans and fun for the dogs to swim or wade in. There is a large rocky beach (at least in the fall/late summer) to run around on.
-lots of great smells to keep the nose engaged.
-wide open expanses for frisbee chasing
-bonus was geese to chase out of the field
We had a great time which resulted in two very tired dogs!!"Kimberley H.

55We are first-time users of sniff spot. The farm was a great experience for our 2 year old Border Collie mix who is reactive to other dogs. He does not often get a chance to run like crazy in a wide open space. We had the added benefit of a flock of geese for him to Chase. The only reason I do not give this a 5-star review is because we had some trouble finding a good pathway down to the river. We will definitely use the sniff spot againVicki G.

55This property delights both dog & owners with plenty of walking opportunities. There's a trail leading to the woods and the Skykomish River. Our dogs explored to their hearts' content and we had the peace of mind not encountering another dog around the corner. It was probably a 15 minutes walk to the river, and we saw geese and ducks along the way. It's March and there are patches of snow here and there, but wasn't muddy and the ground was firm not soft. At the river we wished we'd brought lawn chairs while the dogs busy themselves romping the shallow waters. We took a short cut across the field to get to our parked car. Robin was very nice, she greeted us when we arrived and gave some information about where to go.Oka K.

55We had an incredible time here yesterday! To be honest, at first I wasn't sure....it's early in the year and the foliage and grass is really overgrown so initially I had a hard time finding the trails. And it was just me and my dog so I was a little nervous being alone in the woods. But, once we got our bearings and started to relax, we had an amazing time exploring. This is a truly beautiful place and I felt soooo peaceful. The paths to the river are completely hidden right now and we had a super hard time finding a way down to the water...but, once we did, it was incredible! The challenge of finding it actually made it even cooler, kind of like an oasis, and we were so happy running down to splash around. This place is magical....really gorgeous place to be and Robin makes it even more special. I just liked her immediately...her energy is so welcoming & pleasant and she was so patient helping us find her place and showing us around. She said she'll be clearing the trails soon now that the weather has dried out but either way we are already looking forward to another visit. Definitely recommend you bring your dog(s) here...they (and you) will love it!!!! ♥Susan D.

55Holy cow! Incredible, incredible Sniffspot! This was our 2nd visit and we already have another reservation. Really cool, beautiful area. Since we knew our way around we just went straight to the trailhead and did a short amount of hiking before finding the river. Cooper was ecstatic to be back and remembered exactly where to go. We figured out if we walked to the left once we got down to the water there were deeper spots which would actually allow Cooper to do a little swimming. Boats pass by every so often (we only saw 1 this time in our 2 hours) and I'm not sure if there are strong currents further out so I keep him closer to shore just in case. He had a super duper fun time. One warning: scan the rocks in the water for lures...people fish these waters and I did pull 2 hooked lures out of the rocks. Absolutely amazing place, definitely a must visit for any Sniffspotter!Susan D.

55We are just in heaven here. We have been here many times and it's absolutely breathtaking....the crop field is so pretty when it starts to blossom and the river is spectacular. So peaceful and soothes my soul. Cooper has the time of his life exploring all of the trails, digging in the sand and splashing around in the river and we both have the best time ever. Very private and we've never seen any other animals here so a great place for a reactive dog to run free. Thank you Robin for sharing your space with us. ♥Susan D.

55What a pleasant experience. Robin, the host, was gracious and informative. Her property is an incredible piece of heaven where a dog can have the time of their life and the owner can relax and not worry about what's around the corner. Two hours was sufficient, for the dogs were completely worn out by that time. There were large, and I mean large, fields to roam and romp around. Then there's the swimming in the river. An active dog will be a tired dog after all that. We especially admired the very large and old tree on our way to the river. So peaceful. Here's a link to a video of our dogs running free. https://youtu.be/geSfrwscc7Q. This place would be heaven for a reactive dog. It's very private.Bonnie W.

55Robin is a great host--met us and gave us information about different areas of the property. There's a large pasture, some grassy trails, small sand dunes (if your dog likes running up and down dunes like our does!), and a wonderful river front. My son spent a good long time on the river skipping stones while the dog enjoyed getting in the river to look for them and running about with sticks. We will certainly return!Suzanne S.

55We've been here several times and each time is incredible. This is such a beautiful, spectacular place and one of our favorites. There is a large crop field that you will need to make your way around to get to the trailhead but it's gorgeous and, for us, one of the best parts. Once you get to the trailhead you will have the option to hike around and explore or you can head straight to the river. In all the times we've been here we've never had any encounters with animals of any kind and only once was there a person nearby....a fisherman who was down on the far end of the bank who eventually left. Otherwise everyone else was either passing by on boat or float across the river. Most of the time though there isn't a soul around and we really just enjoy the seclusion and the beauty all around....it's really pretty. In the warmer months Cooper has a blast swimming around and digging in the sandy patches, in the cooler months it's just a really lovely walk. Really great super awesome Sniffspot and Robin, the host, is one of the nicest people you'll ever meet. ♥Susan D.

55Samm found a piece of spaniel heaven today! Thank you Robin for sharing your Sniff Spot! We worked on our recall which is why she is wearing a bell - I needed to know where she was. Samm did awesome! This was our first unfenced area. This is a great spot if you have a reactive dog - Samm isn't but there wasn't any other dogs or people around. The property borders the river so we ( meaning she who has no fear) did a lot of swimming. The river has areas of rock and sand. We most certainly will be back! Our host Robin was sweet and kind. Samm liked her right away as did I!Cheryl P.

55This is such an unbelievably beautiful spot and every time we come here we feel like the luckiest people on earth. Today was the most perfect day...60 degrees and sunny, the ground has soaked up all of the winter rain so no mud and we were completely alone. We had so much fun hiking around and then, when we got to the river, it was just absolutely breathtaking. During the winter some of the trees had fallen so the trail is a bit different and we ended up on a big patch of sand which Cooper loooooooved....he had a blast digging and running before we headed down to the water and then back up to do a little more hiking. There is so much to discover here and we always leave so happy and content. We've been here many times and have never seen another dog - or animal of any sort for that matter. Very secluded spot. There is no fencing but the property is huge so, if your dog has fairly decent recall you'll be fine. Susan D.

55We really liked this SniffSpot, both the scenic walk around a field and the off leash area at the river. Its a great spot for getting your dogs used to water or if they are fans of the water a great spot to let them splash around. The shoreline is rocky so wear good shoes to save your ankles. Lots of room along the river and there is a good sight line for much of it in case your dogs like to wander far afield. The host met us and gave us a great introduction to the area and directions to find the river. We will definitely be back to get our dogs acclimated to the water, last trip they were obsessed with swallows flying along the shore.Gerrit V.

FAQ about our Everett 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 Everett 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.
