Fully Fenced Private Dog Park In Petaluma

Fully Fenced

4 acres

A beautiful fenced-in 5 acre parcel with hills, a few trees, areas of short and tall grass. Dogs absolutely love it here. Occasionally we’ll see wild turkeys and a few deer (and a gopher or squirrel here and there) but otherwise a dog roaming paradise. Easy to pull in and park (near the empty barn) and there are several shady spots around property. I have a dog bowl, some treats and a few balls but also acquiring some more toys. My WiFi extends to a few areas outside the house but cell reception is fine here.

In addition to that, we have a step in the deep end that makes it easy for the dogs to get in and out of the pool! We also have bubblers inside of the pool (the dogs go crazy over these) and then outside of the pool we have fountains that shoot into the pool! This is literally a dream pool for dogs and dog owners! The pool is surrounded by artificial turf and a gorgeous view! We can’t wait for you to check out our pool!

What people say about small dog parks around Petaluma, California

Sonya C.

March 2024

This was the perfect place for our puppy to run free and get some training on recall without the distraction of other people and dogs. It’s a gorgeous property, we will definitely be returning.

Anne P.

March 2024

What a wonderful place. My English Pointer was in heaven, running, jumping, chasing and exploring the whole time. It is a gem of a place!

Oliver D.

March 2024

Absolutely beautiful and well maintained property. Lots of space for your pup to run, sniff, and explore. We heard some barking of a far away neighbors dog but it didn’t bother my pup or me, and we didn’t see any other animals or humans during our entire visit. We’ll definitely be back- i recommend this spot!

Lots of different areas for my dog to explore and sniff around! They also had toys and water/water bowls available!!

Danielle L.

March 2024

10 outta 10, my pups loved it! Antoni’s Sniff Spot was a wonderful, fully fenced, open area for Laka and Hina to zoom, chase, sniff and splash. They wrestled, they bounced, they climbed rocks and got mucky and we loved every second of it. My pups are not off leash dogs in the real world due to short attention spans and a tendency to get into trouble and do that thing where they try to run away when you leash them up (aka the make mom look crazy game), so finding a place to take them where they can explore and get out all of that energy without the fear of them getting loose is EVERYTHING. Antoni was very welcoming and gave great instructions for check-in/out. We’ll definitely visit again and luckily there’s a Pet Food Express very nearby so we can let the dogs get filthy and take a dip in the pet wash before heading home.

Chantal B.

March 2024

My dogs had a wonderful time! Fences are very secure which was great when my dogs were running around I didn’t have to worry just watched them run their hearts desires. I loved the different areas to adventure around and it was nice to walk behind my dogs and get some exercise myself

Judy C.

Lovely, green area with pond, well fenced and lots of room for the dogs to frolic. They both loved the pond and sniffed and played their hearts out.

So much space for exploring! The dogs loved it!! So easy to access and secure fences! Pro tip: go to pet food express after to wash your dogs & check for ticks! I went when the grass was wet and did pick quite a few ticks off.

Omar O.

Perfectly clear instructions and great place! Plenty of room for my pup to roam. GPS logged Remi running 6.5 miles during our visit 😊.

I had a blast with a crew of dogs at this property today! Bring tall rain boots if you’re renting this Sniffspot during a rainy week :) Such a beautiful and dreamy neighborhood surrounded by tall grass and open space.

Bethany P.

March 2024

What a blast for the dogs! Beautiful country and gorgeous property to hang out in for me as well. If you have dogs that have fur that likes to pick up ticks, come prepared for tick removal… I found 6 on one (none on the single coat dog), but that’s par for the course for my wolf dog!

Andrea K.

Our pup loved this spot! She was quick to start running around at full speed. Really fun, like our own private hiking spot.

Casey S.

Antoni’s Sniffspot is amazing! We’ve been here several times and each time our dogs have so much fun! Lots of space to run, a pond for swimming, and no other animals or people which is so comforting for our reactive dog. We’ll be back!

My dogs LOVED it! So happy they can now have a place to roam around and do as they please without worrying about people or distractions :-)

Cara K.

April 2024

My pup had an absolutely wonderful time!! He came back spent and happy. The drive there was lovely too, and he saw cows, pigs, deer, horses, and jackrabbits. Antoni's instructions were super clear, and he was very responsive to questions. One thing to keep in mind: lots of tall grasses, so there were some pinchy weeds, and quite a few foxtails (this was after the rain so they haven't dried out yet)- TICKS!! He came back absolutely crawling full of them. Straight into the shower and bedding was washed. Not a big deal and nothing to be done about it- it's a farm!! But just so you're aware for when you go. Enjoy!

Christina C.

Really beautiful property with tons of space for your pups to run, sniff, and play! Has everything you need including clean water, toys, and bags. So fun!!

David L.

April 2024

Another beautiful day here. Good footing and pretty dry on the hills. Just above the pond was a bit muddy with the continued rain but not bad considering. Always the facilities with water bowls and waste can snd everyone keeps the place spotless. We have never seen/heard other dogs near the property so our dogs just focus on sniffing running playing rolling chasing etc. wonderful place.

Absolutely stunning location and Sniffspot. My Great Dane pup, Cricket, had so much fun exploring and passed out from running around! Excellent Sniffspot!

FAQ About Petaluma Small Dog Parks

Are small 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 are 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 park users so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits are 5 stars.

How can I find small dog parks in Petaluma?

There are 134 small dog parks in the Petaluma area. The most popular small dog park is . You can browse all of our small dog parks here.

How do I know if a small dog park works for my dog?

Start by applying basic filters, such as fencing and distractions, to find a dog park that works for your furry friends. If your dog doesn't respond to owner commands, you can visit one of our enclosed dog park areas. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our small dog park sites where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can see any park amenities provided, including a park bench, water for dogs or water features such as kiddie pool or water hose. If your dog loves water, you can go to a park with water features, but if they don't love water, you can avoid them. We also recommend reading reviews to check for park maintenance issues and reaching out to the host with any questions. And lastly, of course, check park hours. Many of our parks are open from dawn until dusk.

What are the requirements to bring my dog to a Sniffspot park?

We require that all dogs have basic vaccinations or equivalent titers. We do not allow dogs with a bite history. We require that owners sign our waiver and agree to follow our safety rules. We also require that pet owners follow safety protocols around water features.

Will there be other dogs at the Sniffspot 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.

How much do Sniffspot small dog parks cost?

Small dog parks in the Petaluma area range from $4.0 and $. The least expensive small dog park is Meno's Fully Fenced Yard For Dogs To Rent In Petaluma. The most expensive small dog park is Oak Hill Park. Each host sets their own price, so you can check the price on the specific Sniffspot dog park listing.

Can I have an event or party at a small dog park?

If you are planning an amazing small dog park party, each Sniffspot park has their own rules regarding special events. Many parks allow doggie birthday parties, training, water parties and other event types. Event organizers need to be responsible for their guests and event organizers should coordinate with the host regarding their fun party. Make sure the park has amenities you need for your party, such as a park with lots of picnic tables with park benches.
