55My dogs had a blast here! And Caren is a wonderful host, she greeted us at the gate and even had treats for the pups. The location was easy to find with the instructions. There are some gopher holes, so that would be the only thing that I would say to watch out for if it’s a concern for your dogs. Otherwise the spot was really clean and well-maintained, and there were lots of thoughtful amenities, like water, toys, poop bags and wipes.Kristiene G.

55Caren was super and Palmhill was a total blast for my dogs. Caren met us at the gate to show us where to park and access the huge field. The dogs had so much fun running, playing fetch and exploring gopher holes. Lots of physical and mental stimulation for them. The field was clean, very secure and organized. There was plenty of water for the dogs, poop bags, trash can, bug repellent and sunscreen etc…
There was a large bucket of toys and a container full of chuck-it balls. Caren even brought treats down for all the dogs. I look forward to doing a walking tour of the property with Caren and the dogs next time.Cathy W.

55This was our first ever sniffspot we visited and it has set our expectations extremely high now! Palmhill was absolutely beautiful and my dog had a blast playing frisbee and checking out all of the new smells. Caren greeted us at the beginning of our time slot to meet us and show us around. She had buckets of fresh water set out, tons of toys including balls and frisbees, towels and cleanup supplies, and there is ample seating. It is completely fenced in so you can be sure your dog is safely secured. She offered us a tour of the property at the end of our visit which we took her up on and she told us all about Palmhill. Extremely happy with our first Sniffspot experience and highly, highly recommend taking your dog to visit Caren’s sniffspot, she has an amazing place and was an excellent host! We will definitely be back! Brianna H.

55My dog such a fun time here. Caren was an amazing host. She kindly welcomed us with some dog treats (which Max devoured within seconds) and led us to the area. It was well kept, had fresh/clean water, cleaning supplies and towels, sunscreen, and plenty of toys! It unexpectedly started raining when we arrived, but despite the weather, we had a blast and will definitely be coming back soon.Karen E.

55This is my favorite sniff spot!!! The grass is trimmed with no foxtails, completely secure, plenty of toys, water, waste bags, and best of all- it’s flat. That’s important as I have a senior shepherd and he can run and play on the flat. Caren was wonderful and took us for a walk around the orange grove. She’s incredibly friendly and pleasant. We will be back again!!!Maureen P.

55This was our first time trying out Sniffspot and booking a visit at Palmhills private dog park in Valley Center. It was an amazing first time experience. Caren was really kind and sweet she meet us at the gate and even had treats for our pups. When we arrived there was plenty of fresh water bowls for the dogs to drink and an assortment of toys to play with. Our dogs had an amazing time and will sleep well tonight. Overall this was a great experience and Caren just made it all the better for us. I highly recommended this fully fenced off leash spot. We will definitely be coming back in the future.Madison M.

FAQ about our Palm Desert fully fenced dog parks
Are fully fenced dog parks safe?
While public dog parks have a number of safety issues, such as aggressive dogs, inattentive owners, disease transmission and general cleanliness, Sniffspot dog parks are much safer than public dog parks. Human and animal safety is our #1 focus. Without a private option, many dog owners are relegated to using athletic fields or tennis courts for their dogs, which are not private or safe. 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. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits are 5 stars. And with fully fenced Sniffspot parks, you can get the safety of a fenced-in space for dogs, while still having plenty of space to run.
How can I find fully fenced dog parks in Palm Desert?
There are 108 fully fenced dog parks in the Palm Desert area. The most popular fully fenced park is . You can browse all of our fully fenced dog parks here.
How do I know if a fully fenced dog park works for my dog?
Many people looking for fully fenced parks have dogs that are not good with voice control. Start by applying basic filters, such as fences height and distractions, to find a dog park that works for your dog. You can see attributes of fences such as height, gaps and fencing type to find the perfect fenced-in space for dogs. You can filter by size to make sure you have plenty of space, or a smaller space if you prefer a neighborhood park. You can browse on a map by park location to find one in your city or near your city. 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 near the space. Make sure to review the amenities of the spot to check features you want for your activity, such as fresh water, trail features such as soft trails or walking trails, or even water fountains. If you prefer wood chips, many of our parks have wood chips or indoor space if you prefer a beautiful park building.
What are the requirements to bring my dog to a Sniffspot fully fenced dog park?
We require that all dogs have basic vaccinations or equivalent titers. We do not permit use by pregnant dogs and we do not permit dogs with a bite history. We require that guests sign our waiver and agree to follow our safety rules, such as staying within the designated off-leash areas. Each park location also has their own set of rules that guests need to follow, such as limiting excessive barking.
Will there be other dogs at the Sniffspot fully fenced dog park at the same time as me?
Sniffspot only allows one booking at a time and any host dogs are required to be kept away from the spot during visits. We also enforce 30 min time buffers between bookings.
