55Last minute booking but made it easy to confirm! The owner did let us know prior pups use the splash pad, so I took some towels just in case, but that was no problem. My dogs didn't even get wet! But it was fun and amazing! Berenice C.

55We had such a great time at this Sniffspot! The space was spotless and clearly well cared for. There was fresh drinking water set out, clean water in the kiddie pool, and even the ball pit was in great shape. Our corgis had a blast—especially with the interactive treat toy! It’s a super fun and safe place to play, thank you Cindy! We'll be back again soon.

55This is a great sniff spot centrally located in San Diego! My dog is reactive to other dogs, and I love that I am able to take her to secure and wonderful places like this spot!
My friend and her dog came along, and they had a blast! Played in the kiddie pool and the ball pit. Played with the enrichment puzzle bottles and plenty of available toys! Everything I would need was there and easy to use! Megan T.

55Our reactive dog had a great time running and sniffing. We had no problem with neighbor dogs luckily. If you go in the morning, it might be a little muddy. Would come here again!Miah M.

55This place is a hidden gem. There’s absolutely nothing about it we didn’t like. It’s 100% secure, manicured to near perfection and it truly creates a zen-like experience. You would never know there are other dogs boarding at this Spot and all basic amenities readily available. It’s quiet, private and quaint.
My 70lb dogs are a tad larger than the place is able to facilitate full roomies for, but that’s my oversight.
Van & Penny highly recommend this place as a break away from city.

55This was my first sniff spot rental. I loved it! And so did my dog Taffy. She sniffed and explored, and we trained a bit off leash. She is reactive so this was perfect.
It's clean, organized, and the agility equipment is all set up already. There is a shade sail and trees for some shade.

FAQ About San Diego 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.
