55Tanya’s place was amazing!! They had a ton of different toys/activities for the dogs and a TON of seating for owners! They also provided anything you could need (treats, towels, shampoo, sprays, water shoes, water, etc). Our dogs had an amazing time, especially in the water. I definitely recommend this place for any dog owner, but especially those whose dogs love water. Hannah G.

55We stopped at this Sniffspot during a camping trip with our dog Blue. Blue was recently diagnosed with cancer so this trip was a chance for him to play and have fun before he gets too sick. The visit to the Sniffspot was an absolute blast, it was ones of Blue’s favorite places he has ever been. He loved swimming in both the kiddie pool and especially the creek…he spent the entire time in the water. This Sniffspot was extremely well set up. There were tons of dog toys, floats, water, chairs, poop bags, an outdoor speaker, water shoes, towels, dog shampoo, literally anything you could think of. So well thought-out! Blue was so happy and even after hours of playing he didn’t want to leave. We did have a few hiccups with booking in the app, but it’s to be expected when dealing with technology, and it doesn’t overshadow this amazing place and an accommodating host who literally thought of everything a dog and their humans might need to have fun. This experience will be a memory we get to keep forever. We are planning to return again as soon as possible! :)Rebecca C.

55Wow wow wow! What a fantastic Sniffspot. Our boys had the best time exploring the creek and running around the very clean, and well maintained sitting areas. These hosts sure know what they are doing! It is priced a tad higher than other spots, especially when you have three dogs, but we will gladly pay a premium for this type of adventure. By far the most fun we have ever had at a Sniffspot, which is saying a lot, because there are some great ones around. Kira H.

55This place is hands down the best sniff spot we’ve been to. Our family recently grew with bringing newborn twins home and our dogs haven’t been getting out as much. We wanted to give them a safe adventure for being great Nannie’s and we could not be more pleased, and satisfied. Tanya’s place was fully equipped with fun toys for the dogs, plenty of seating, floats, shade, space to run and play in the water. We’ll be back! Ivonne M.

55It’s very hard for me to find a place outdoors by a clean safe body of water where I can truly just relax with my reactive dog, without worrying about other dogs suddenly appearing.
I really was just looking for a nice creek for her to swim in and I certainly found that! but this place is just as comfortable for humans as it is for pups. There are seats by a few different parts of the creek, the patio is extremely comfortable and welcoming, there is a kiddie pool there for pups to cool down, and all amenities are clearly labeled. The indoor bathroom feels like a luxury compared to other sniff spots, and there are several pairs of water shoes in different sizes so you can fully enjoy the creek. My dog got a little spooked when we used the floaty toys in the creek as she’d never seen them before, but they’re very nice. There were life vests in many sizes, even one juuust big enough for my 80lbs German shepherd. There was shade everywhere, either from trees or umbrellas. Perfect place for a chill day on the river.
I know I’m repeating everything on the listing but I guess what I’m saying is that this place is exactly as good as advertised.
As the listing and many others have said, the only kind of pup this might not be good for is one who is likely to run off into the brush and not come back. Fencing is nonexistent on the far side of the creek. One of our few freebies with our dog is that she likes to stay in my line of sight, so this wasn’t an issue for us.
We drove 2.5 hrs (from the East Bay) to get here and sprung for three hours of time. Worth every penny. Thanks for sharing this wonderful space!K t.

55Amazing spot!!!
Tanya is a great host, thought of everything, poop bags, trash can, toys, hand sanitizer, you name it, she has it all!
A couple of things to mention; if your dog does not have a good recall, this might not be the place for you, the creek is either shared with neighbors or has a public access near by, still it’s a great place to spend some time with your fury kids.
It’s a bit far from me but so worth the drive ☺️
Can’t wait to go back. Yesenia L.

55This place is pure paradise! It was absolutely magical to watch my dog run around carefree and happy while trying new things for him, as he’s a total scaredy-cat around water most of the time. He splashed around a bit and loved sniffing around on the shore, while I paddled up and down the creek on the provided paddle board. There’s so many cool features- a TON of signage to tell you where and what things are, a cooler and Bluetooth speaker down by the creek, dog life-jackets, water shoes, floaties, a ton of seating, I could go on and on! We paid for an hour and a half and it wasn’t enough, so we’ll definitely be back.Lindsey A.

55It was our second visit to this wonderful place. Our dog Blue was so excited. There is just something about this place that is so peaceful and it has everything you need for your dog and you to have a great experience. We had a perfect day. Blue absolutely loves it here, he makes sure to go swimming in both the kiddie pool and the creek. There is every dog toy that a dog could want, from toys for smaller dogs to super tough big dog toys. We even discovered some new types of toys that Blue thoroughly enjoyed carrying around and playing with. Also, we learned from visiting here that Blue has a talent for balancing on the paddle board and likes to float down the creek on top of it while chewing a toy. He decided all on his own that he wanted to jump up on the board, we didn’t teach him this 😆. What a cool opportunity…at 11 years old he wouldn’t ever have learned that anywhere else! To top it off, the host posted a picture at the Sniffspot of Blue, with a present for him to open because he was chosen as dog of the month this month! So fun and made us all smile, especially Blue! Great host and great Sniffspot, can’t say enough good things about it. Rebecca C.

55This place is amazing! Well stocked with anything you may need. Owner was super nice and checked in with me the night before to let me know it was going to rain during my reservation and seeing if I would like to reschedule. Luckily my dog doesn’t care about the rain, but it was still really appreciated. My girl loved running around, swimming and rolling in the dirt. Definitely will be back!Sharon F.

55Our two rescue pups had so much fun exploring, swimming, and relaxing by the creek! So did the humans - Maybe even more so than the dogs 😂 Our favorite sniff spot so far.

So many amenities—-tons of dog toys, kiddy pool, seating areas, water floats, and even a restroom with tons of supplies for clean up including towels and dog shampoo. The water was so clear and refreshing. My dog climbed on most of it, even getting on the paddle board! We spent most of the time in the water, but there was also a wide open flat area to kick the ball around. Very peaceful and shady spot. We will be back!

A large area to chase balls and run, lots of shade, the creek was peaceful and clean, toys provided for both dogs and adults, water dishes, chairs, a hammock, the property is well maintained and safe for the pups. I could go on and on! We arrived late due to a traffic accident and the host was very gracious in allowing us to stay later than our reservation. They also had a welcome board! We will be back often! It’s a great way to get out with your pup without the common issues that can arise at dog parks. Plus we saw a frog swimming in the creek! We can’t wait to come back and explore more! Shelley R.

FAQ about our Penn Valley 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 do I know if a fully fenced dog park works for my dog?
