55I'm a frequent flyer here! Wilbur and I love the yard and the safety it provides. Colleen is an amazing host and great communicator. She is very thoughtful, providing poop bags, poop scoopers, hand sanitizer, hand towels, and even a cup designed to clean paws! This is truly my favorite sniff spot. Ashley F.

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.

55My 11 month old Labrador puppy was in heaven today going full out to get a ball .A fabulous sight to see . The 2 acre is large enough for zooming but not too big that I loose sight of her . She appreciated the shade and water for a quick brake before she was off again . We have booked ahead for more fun over the next week. Teresa W.

55Great spot. My dog usually refuses to go walk around unless I go with him. This spot has mowed grass and a couple different areas to sit, one with partial shade in the afternoon and a nice pergola that provides full coverage. Fresh water for dogs, bags, and bins. We will return.Clara M.

55This is a beautiful spot. Easy to find. Fairly level field with great views and places to sit. We saw horses and heard chickens. If you visit in the morning wear something to keep your feet dry in the grass. Nicely maintained with plenty of roam for our dogs to run. Jack, Buddy and I will definitely be back. Denise B.

55This was our second time at Rover’s Ranch. Lots of room for our girl to run around and sniff and explore. Flat property with much of it mowed. Easy to follow instructions for access to the Sniffspot. Fencing is fine for our girl. Water and poop bags are provided and the gazebo allows for plenty of shade. This is great location for our dog-reactive baby!Carolyn H.

FAQ about our St. Helena 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. 97% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the St. Helena 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 87 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 18 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.
