55Always a great visit, running through the fall leaves, chasing balls, sniffs galore and a big bowl of fresh water. It’s so nice to have space for our reactive dog Lucy to stretch her legs, because she can’t go to dog parks. She’s a much happier dog since she has been visiting Colleen’s backyard!Debra M.

55Beautiful yard & very easy access. Our dogs loved the ability to run off leash, while we loved the safety of no other dogs while they played. Finn literally slept though his dinner as was so tired after his playtime with his BFF! Thank you so much!!Terri S.

55My dog and I loved this yard! So quiet and peaceful and plenty of room to run! The owner of the house left us water and a towel cause it happened to be a rainy day. Would definitely go back!McKenzie K.

55Great to return to our favorite snifspot and see a welcoming note along with the normal supplies and a couple of dog toys. After the rain, it was still easy to toss the chuck it, and Lucy stayed amazingly clean! She also loved sniffing in the piles of raked leaves that were here and there.
My happy place (and our dogs too)!Debra M.

55Host was extremely communicative and the fence is sturdy and maintained. Beautiful spacious backyard in a residental neighborhood easy to access. My dog and I were welcomed by a personized sign along with a large bowl of water, towels, and treats. My dog was thrilled to run around off leash. 10/10 would reccomend and will definitely go back!

55Colleen’s place was perfect. High fence, no dogs in the area, plenty of room to run around, and treats for my Boston. He was able to actually have the zoomies that he can’t in my tiny yard. She was very communicative and helpful with my questions before I even booked. Dustin B.

55Quiet. Fence/gate secure. Lots of interesting things for a dog to sniff. There is a motor home parked to the side; there are flower beds, grill, hot tub (covered securely) and more. I had to keep a close eye on Molly so she didn’t get into something she shouldn’t.Sonya R.

55First time visiting with my pup today. It was a warm day, but the yard was shady with a nice breeze. Her friend wasn’t able to join, so she spent her time sniffing all around, which she loves. Water, treats and poop bags were left out by the owner. It was a good experience and we will definitely be back for late afternoon visits with the warm weather.Kate S.

55Peaceful and very safe, clean yard. My fearful dog had so much fun she didn't want to leave, and neither did I. Well worth the money and we will be returning soon.
Thank you Colleen. This was hugely healing for my dog, and me.Kathy M.

55The yard was nice and shady with plenty of areas to sit. We were greeted with a nice welcome sign, ball, poop bags, hand sanitizer and a bowl of fresh water for the dogs. We did not see or hear anyone and even my nervous rescue was able to relax and wander. The host, Colleen, communicated with me via text and was amazing. The fence looks new and is very high with no fear of dogs getting out.
I would highly recommend and we will be back!
Thank you Colleen!

55The yard is clean, spacious and has lots of shade for hot days. Apollo had the best time exploring and roaming the area off leash! It was fun, private and safe for all of us! Colleen is the sweetest host! She left out water, treats, towels and sanitizer. I highly recommend this Sniffspot as a top spot!!!Sonya M.

55My puppy & I loved it! The check in was seamless and contactless which worked well for my shy puppy as he was comfortable from the beginning. They left a couple balls and bowl of water out which my puppy loved throughout his entire time there. The yard was very clean and they had cute hanging lights on at sunset. Andrea H.

FAQ about our Santa Rosa 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.

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 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.

Many parks allow doggie birthday parties, training, water parties and other event types.

Make sure the park has amenities you need for your party, such as a park with lots of picnic tables with park benches.
