40 acres of private hiking trails + 1 acre fully fenced

40 acres

We are a 40 acre private family run horse ranch. We boast 2.3 miles of private trail systems perfect for those tired of the dangers of loose uncontrolled dogs in our public spaces. The 1 acre grass pasture is fully enclosed with no climb 6ft fencing, and grounded wire, and our onsite creek makes for the perfect place to cool off on a sunny day. We are a quiet, serene place to work or play just minutes from the hustle and bustle of city life. More about our trails: -Our Trails are PRIVATE PROPERTY, with no public access. -Our immediate neighbors, can and do occasionally walk on our property with or without their well behaved dogs. I ride/or walk our trails daily and I may see someone a few times in a month IF THAT, but there IS a possibility you could see a friendly pair in passing if all the stars align. -Our property’s outermost fence line at the very top of our hill boarders regional park land which is fenced by 4 strands of barbed wire. If your dog does not have a recall, it is suggested to leash at the marked point, as there is potential to see people off in the distance at the other side of the fence line. -We are an active farm and rotationally graze horses, pigs, cows, and chickens across our broad acreage. We both spread, and till our land to sustainably retain its beauty, and fertility. If you have a poop roller please by advised we have towels and hoses available onsite for use upon departure. Dog poop is removed from our grounds immediately. Manure from our ruminants IS NOT, as it is an integral part of our sustainability practice. Please book elsewhere if this is a problem, -No Farm animals are visible or audible on trail, though we do have an abundance of deer and wild turkey. Want to see what our trails look like? Copy and paste the link into your browser—-> https://youtube.com/shorts/ol0JSUWvkY0?si=fYxEcKmdomY1XLtE More about the one acre pasture: -Upon arrival, you will be parked in front of one of our horse barns. You may see a horse poke its head out of a window at that time. Beyond that your dog will not be able to see them from the pasture. -Our favorite Resident Moo Tootsie, and her 2 calves may be visual off in the distance, but are separated by a road and 2 fence lines. -There are no visual or audible dogs. -We are an active farm and rotationally graze horses, pigs, cows, and chickens across our broad acreage.

Seasonal close for Winter-Maxie Water Park 🏖️Private Dog Pool In San Jose

0.11 acres

We are closed for winter! See you and your pup next year in our pool! Welcome to Maxie Pool for private water play time! The first pet pool in the area. The pool is chlorinated and professionally cleaned weekly. We provide S/M/L size dog life jackets (1 jacket for each size) and some pool toys. The water temperature largely depends on the weather conditions. Due to the cold weather and rain recently, the pool water temperature is around 60-64 F degree at noon(early November). We had some big pups(golden retriever, bernedoodle, and labs) come to swim and they all had a lot of fun. However, some small dogs might feel cold in the water and the pool in November is unsuitable for people to swim. 2 guests come free with the 1st dog. Any additional dog includes 1 additional guest at no extra charge. If you have extra guests coming, please select the correct number of additional guests in the EXTRAS. Extra guest is $15/person/hour. Total 6 guests max. Sorry the pool is not suitable for children. Children under 16 years old are not allowed to enter the property for safety reasons. POOL RULES (please read) *Please note this is a private swimming session for your pets, please supervise your dog at all times, NO coach/lifeguard on site. *The east side of the pool is up to 9 ft deep. Pet & humans swim at their own risk. Children under 16 years old are not allowed for safety reason. The host is not responsible for any liability. *Dog owners and guests are welcome to enter the pool to help and support your dog swimming, but please note NO BATHROOM is provided. As this is mainly the dog pool, dogs constantly bring oil/dust/dirt to the pool. We clean after each visit and the filter system is on but there is a limit to how much the filter system can handle. Generally, the water is clearer on weekdays compared to weekends. *Please do not touch any pool system control in the backyard. You will be responsible for the damage if misused. *This is a quiet neighborhood, please respect our neighbors so no screaming/yelling/loud music/pool parties. *Dogs must be leashed when entering and exiting the pool area, only off-leash your dog once the pool gate is locked. *The pool area is fenced. Please make sure the pool fence is locked at all times. *Please note there are plants, trees & flowers, and areas with mulch, rocks & stones in the backyard. Please watch out for your dogs' activities at all times. The host is not liable for any injuries or damages that could happen to dogs and pet owners. *Please bring your own towels. No water hose/outlets/dryers available in the backyard and no shower facilities for dogs. *Pool is professionally cleaned by the pool cleaning company every Monday and there might be pool chemicals. *No dog treats/human food or glassware in the pool. *No use of the pool beside the registered guests. *No peeing/pooping in the pool.

Sterlyng's Private Dog Park In Morgan Hill (Optional Pool Extra add-on)

Partially Fenced

10 acres

We are on 10 acres and would love to share our yard with you. Beautiful Mountain View’s amongst grape vines with gravel pathways. On the interior portion of the park is a dirtbike track with a more rugged terrain and incline walking. Definitely more weeds, but if you are looking for a more off road feeling this is another option aside from the full pathway around the perimeter of the dirtbike track. This time of year the grapevines are a beautiful with lots of beautiful green foliage. We do also have a cool off spot in the front of the house under a very large old pine tree with roses to smell while your dog has their belly on the cool green grass by their water bowl in the shade. Where your new morning or afternoon ritual begins. Please note: Pool is an ‘extra’ charge. You can add this item as an extra while adding this spot to your cart. Not included in base charge. PUP PARTIES 🎉🥳🎈🎁🐶🐾🎈🎁🎉 We are still new to SniffSpot but have been asked multiple times recently if we would host pup parties. This is something I have not yet put a price point on but can make this feasible as well. If you are interested in coordinating something, please message me and I can send you SniffSpot items available for parties. (i.e. BBQ, Tables, chairs, shaded areas, pool time. etc)

Pup Paradise in El Cerrito

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.

Lawns, Gardens, Views, Pool, in San Rafael

Pups of all sizes enjoy this spot. Half acre property, fully fenced and gated, good privacy, lawn, pool, lounge chairs, table and chairs, flower gardens, redwood trees, olive trees, persimmon trees, meditation garden, hummingbirds, and even a red fire hydrant. Optional pool access for people can be purchased as an Extra, by the hour and by the person. The pool is unheated except by the sun/air. We love all dogs and welcome dogs of all shapes and sizes and hair types to visit; however we can only offer pool access for non-shedding pups, as long hair and fur was unfortunately causing damage to the pool equipment; If you are booking for more than one non-shedding dog swimming or for longer than an hour, please message us with info about your dog(s) and we will create an extra for you for the number of dogs you have swimming. 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! Hours right now are 7:00am to 6:00pm. We look forward to your visit!
