55as described...my dog liked sniffing around the most and playing with the ball second. there are lots of levels - it's a terraced slope, so there are paths and steps and shrubs and grasses and lots of nuances to explore. Bring bug spray, it's a lush site.jennifer m.

55We enjoyed Nina's Sniffspot and it was a wonderful place for our young dog to run around and do some off-leash training. The area was as-described. We are satisfied and plan to return!Alla B.

55The walk up to Diamond Heights is brutal but worth it! This space is nice and big. Lots of bushes and plants for sniffing. Interesting obstacles for running & jumping around.Emma D.

55Nina’s back yard was awesome! With a stunning view to admire and take in the view of the city. The yard had nice mini hill levels for our dogs to run, hop, and climb definitely got their exercise from all the fun they were having. There was a small corner area that was a nice spot for us to sit and watch as our dogs explored, sniffed and ran around. The area was clean and had nice paths for us to walk through. Definitely will book again! Fonzo A.

55First visit with my 5 month old super energetic Maltipoo. It’s a great space with great views. My puppy definitely explored and loved tasting everything on the ground. Lol! Wasn’t a great place for my puppy to fetch since there’s multiple levels but definitely got the job done! Once we got to the car, I wiped him down, put him in his seat and he knocked out! Thank you Nina for sharing your space! Racquel D.

55This space was amazing!! Such a big yard in SF is really a rare jem. There was drinking water and toys in the yard. A very nice and welcoming neighbor said “hi” to us from the next yard which helped quiet my fence-reactive girl.
Unfortunately for us, the fence along one side was too short for me to safely let my dog off her long leash. It was barely 3 feet in many spots and I just know my little (big) jumper would be over it on a second.
My dog enjoyed sniffing all around the yard and hanging out. It really seems like the perfect spot if your dog is small or not inclined to jump a short fence (or is more well-behaved than mine 🤪).ERIKA H.

55We love Nina’s space, we’re so thankful to have an oasis in the city for our pup! We will definitely be back soon.
One thing I want to mention for other reactive dog owners: while we were there a very sweet neighbor came out and wanted to say hi to our pup and feed him a treat. Our dog is not receptive to strangers, and has a sensitive tummy so can’t eat treats. He was receptive to us asking him not to feed or pet, and we gave him some turkey to toss over the fence.
This won’t stop us from going to Nina’s in the future (we love it!) but wanted to mention for other sensitive dogs.Kelsey P.

55This yard is perfect for small dogs, dogs who want to wrestle, or dogs that are into agility training (there are hoops, jumps, etc). The host provides water, toys and treats. Unfortunately it’s too small for big dogs that love to run. For whatever reason the Sniffspot app included this property in my .5 size lot filter. The host states clearly their yard is only a .04 lot, but I missed this trusting the app’s filter. Regardless we had fun, but it wasn’t big enough for the type of exercise my dogs require. Ana M.

FAQ about our South San Francisco 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.
Are 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 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 guests so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog. 96% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the South San Francisco area are 5 stars.
How do I know if a dog park works for my dog?
You can filter Sniffspot dog parks by fencing and distractions. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our 129 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 20 off leash areas where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can also filter locations to avoid other domestic animals and people. We also recommend reading reviews and reaching out to the host with any questions.
