55Our puppy was recently spayed and has been going crazy with no exercise. We booked this last minute to get in some sniff time - literally 5 minutes before and had a great experience. The reservation was confirmed immediately, the house was easy to find and the entrance was clearly marked. The yard was clean with a lot of space to run. There were even some treats and water left out. We didn’t stay long because we didn’t want our pup to over exert but we will be back. Thanks so much. Cheyanne C.

55Drew could not have been a better host in any way. He greeted us out front when we arrived and showed us how to use his gate to get to the back yard. The yard is perfect. It's beautifully taken care of, with green grass, and nothing that could harm your pet in any way. There is a pool that looked inviting, but our dog doesn't like water very much, unless you count repetedly dropping tennis balls in and pawing at them. Drew had a box full of tennis balls and other toys which our dog loved (as well as some poop bags for cleaning up). There were at least two fresh bowls of water that I spotted in the yard.
He also asked us if we would like to let either or both of his dogs out to play with ours. We decided that one of his dogs would be a good match up for ours. His name is Otis and he's a total sweetheart. Our dog, Auggie, can get overwhelmed by other dogs sometimes but Otis played so nicely and didn't get pushy at all. We think we could even try all three dogs next time. Auggie didn't play with Otis very much because he was obsessed with all of the tennis balls so eventually Otis sat by the door until we let him inside.
Drew was such a fantastic, welcoming host. He told us to make ourselves at home in his backyard. He checked in once after about an hour and even offered us water. We will most definitely be back another time.Scott G.

55Great yard for dogs with lots of room to run, well maintained grass, with easy parking close to gate. Photos are very accurate. A basket of clean toys were provided and water, plenty of seating in the shade if needed (I was too busy playing fetch with my dog, both in the pool and also the grass). A great place to take my dog while visiting my folks who only have desert landscaping. Jen M.

55Thank you for a great visit!! This is the largest sniffspot we've had the pleasure of visiting 🙂. Drew was very responsive, super friendly and awesome. The property is very big, super clean, safe and in a great neighborhood. Beautifully landscaped. Quiet and felt very private despite it's size. There was a box of toys provided that Cyrus loved digging through and playing with... also several nice seating areas to relax while your dog sniffs around and plays. My pup isn't a swimmer but perfect pool for your dog to take a dip in. I'll definitely be back - no negative comments at all except Cyrus didn't want to leave 🤣 Thanks again Drew for a fun time and being such an excellent host!! 🚀🐾😁Rocket B.

55The yard was just as it was advertised. Spacious, clean and safe. The dogs had a fantastic time running around and getting into the pool. The hosts generously provided toys, bowls of water, poop bags etc. They even helped celebrate my dog's birthday with hats and decorations :) Drew and his wife are fantastic hosts. They let us use their tables, came out to check on us and were super sweet to us and the dogs. I will definitely be coming here again! Highly recommended!Tammy C.

55What an enjoyable & memorable experience. The yard is truly amazing, the photos do not do it justice. More than that, the homeowners were very personable, friendly and accommodating. I was looking for a safe place to have "snow" delivered for my pups and some friends to play in. They were more than happy to host this fun event. We will be going again very soon, as the dogs had such a wonderful time and there is still more yard for them to explore :o)Dawna S.

55Great spot to cool off for an hour! My lab LOVES the water. It was great watching him swim and roll around in the turf! Kristen had extra dog bags, a few toys and treats. I think even an large set of Yahtzee to play. Would definitely recommend and will be back again! Olivia B.

55Our girls had a great time swimming and playing! Just a note, the house behind this house has chickens or something. They started making noise and the dogs got a little distracted. So just know that going in, in case your dogs react to such things. Brenda R.

FAQ about our Fence Lake dog parks
Are dog parks good for dogs?
It is important for dogs to have off leash exercise to sniff and run. But the free and open nature of public dog parks has drawbacks. There could be aggressive dogs, disease transmission and cleanliness issues. For this reason, many dog behaviorists discourage visiting public dog parks and recommend Sniffspot's private 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.
Are 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 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 guests so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog. 0% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Fence Lake area are 5 stars.
How do I know if a dog park works for my dog?
You can filter Sniffspot dog parks by fencing and distractions. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our off leash areas where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can also filter locations to avoid other domestic animals and people. We also recommend reading reviews and reaching out to the host with any questions.
