55Great place. Lots of room for dogs to sniff and roam. Very secure and fresh water! If your coming for the first time ,might want to have a little bit of extra time. A little tricky to navigate. Host was super responsive. We will be back for sure. Julie J.

55Our dogs had a lot of fun at The Dog Spot!! Celene’s instructions to reach the Sniffspot were very helpful. The place itself is quite clean and securely fenced. There was fresh water and bowls for the pups to drink from.
The dogs had fun running around, sniffing and relaxing under the tree. There are some stumps for people to sit and enjoy the view of the woods.Leela P.

55Exactly as described, big flat plot, well fenced, great for running, some shade, extra water, poop bags, and toys. My reactive retriever loved the nonstop off-leash running; my older dog rested in the shade. It was perfect. We'll be back often.Gretchen C.

55Great space for long frisbee tosses and sprinting pups. None of the dogs were bothered by the crowing roosters or barking chihuahuas (former out of sight, latter were in sight loose so be aware if you have reactive dogs). Will return!Janice O.

55Just as described! We had a great time! There were two chihuahuas barking off leash by by the road/near the parking spot as we pulled up. There weren’t close enough for it to be a problem for my reactive dog.Nina H.

55The place seems hard to find at first but very good directions are given. You are able to park your car in a fenced area that is separate but next to the area for your dogs which is great. I have 10 lbs chihuahuas and the fence gaps were small enough to keep them enclosed. There are some other little dogs roaming from the neighbors, but they will be unable to reach or bother your dogs or car once you park and close the gate. Very spacious, clean, and isolated. My dogs loved it and we felt safe! Jamie B.

55This was our first time using SniffSpot for our reactive dog, and we had a wonderful experience! Our dog is extremely reactive to all other dogs, so it was amazing being able to let him run free without a leash. The fence is fully secured around the entire perimeter; I checked all the corners myself and they're well reinforced. The only small thing for other reactive dog owners to note is that the house owners have two small chihuahua-type dogs that were barking at us off-leash when we arrived, but they didn't approach our dog so it wasn't a problem. The field had plenty of toys and water to use, and the swing in the middle of the field is a nice touch. We will definitely be back!Alice T.

55Love this spot! Very well fenced and safe. The grass was nice and short, although a bit dry and prickly for my dog (but he has very sensitive feet). We can't wait to come back in the fall and winter. The location is so convenient.Cheryl C.

55Expansive and reliably secured field. Dogs enjoyed sweeping the perimeter, hunting for ground critters, and shifting into their "gallop gears" as they explored the grounds. S B.

55The directions provided were excellent and the host responded very quickly when I messaged to clarify. Great spot to let my dog run around for a while. It took her a while to settle with the rooster sounds, and we were approached by the chihuahuas on the way out, but my reactive dog didn’t seem to care. Love the amenities provided. Toys, water, poop bags and receptacles, even the foxtail masks lining the fence. I even had a blast swinging on the tree swing while my dog ran around and stuck her nose in and dug in every gopher hole, searching for treasure. It was awesome. Will definitely be back. Kristina H.

55Great spot. Very secure and a perfect place to run and sniff. Our pointer loved running and chasing birds. Our pibble loved chasing balls and resting in the shade. Was a bit tricky to know exactly where to go first time, but Celine’s photos and directions really helped. Lots of small gopher holes but they didn’t bother our dogs a bit. A fantastic outing. We will be back! John P.

FAQ about our Pacifica 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.
