55We are so glad we found this gem! We had a dead battery right in time for our first visit, I let the host know who sent me a coupon for our next visit which meant I didn't lose money. We booked the very next morning. My dogs had such a blast, after 45 mins they both just laid down on the ground they were exhausted. This is not just a square yard, there are trails, different levels, and a creek. My smallest is totally a water baby so even though it was cold and raining she went straight for the creek and was in heaven. Getting in can be confusing if you don't read the directions, park outside the gate and walk through our else you have to do some fun back up techniques!
Love this spot and will be back!Amber B.

55Great spot for getting the zoomies out. We will definitely be back. There’s a creek running through the property that’s great for dogs that love water. I missed it the first time I drove by. And, it’s right next to a busy road, so if you have a dog that has the tendency to bolt out of your car, be careful when unloading.Justin B.

55My two dogs had fun. It was a unique, PNW/hiking-esque setting that my dogs wouldn’t have off-leash access to otherwise. So that was great. It seemed securely fenced. My dogs are not escapers. If you, your dog, or both have any physical limitations, disabilities, or injuries, I would not recommend this spot in the winter. It was muddy and kind of slippery in spots. The dogs loved the terrain and all that—just might not be appropriate for every dog. We didn’t have any issues with viewing dogs but there is a biggish road and sidewalk right by one of the fence lines. This could become a potential problem if your dog is reactive bc anybody and their dog could walk by on the sidewalk unexpectedly. We didn’t see any neighbor dogs. But if a neighbor had a dog and let them out at the wrong time you might have a fence-fighting situation on your hands too. I didn’t ask about that in advance and it wasn’t an issue when we went—just a heads up. Overall, the dogs had a great time. Meghan G.

55Very nice wooded trail goes around entire property. Portions are a little messy to use in the winter (expected here when it rains non stop) but they have mulch down on the path areas to help. Fun fresh creek runs through the trail. My lab had fun jumping it and running up stream. Very clean and secure. Jenni C.

55This spot is delightful. The river and smells and nature was everything we were looking for.
It has two primary issues:
1) mud, so much mud
2) the GPS location sends you to the main house entrance, and we had to circle back
Fortunately, my pups adore mud and we came prepared.Alex L.

55This is such a wonderful place to get lost in with your dog(s) for an hour or two. It’s muddy in the winter months so be prepared and wear boots. Your dog will love it as much as on any sunny day. Holly P.

55So much fun!! Nice loop trail to walk along the property 👍🏻 dogs had a blast jumping in the stream running through the property. They really enjoyed free roaming and smelling all the smells. Didn’t see any other animals, heard 1 dog bark but was far enough away the dogs didn’t pay too much attention to it. Will definitely be going back again. Our dogs had so much fun and were worn out afterwords so ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. If you are going during the rainy season make sure you bring a pair of boots, a bit muddy in some places but there are bark chips along parts of the trail that combat the mud. Also lots of toys for the pups and towels provided to wipe them off on your way out :)Kendall B.

55Such an amazing spot! Our 15-month old husky mix loves to explore and sniff, and she had the opportunity to do plenty of both here. She loved it, and so did we.
If you're going after (or during) a good rain, I suggest wearing waterproof boots that you don't mind getting a bit muddy. The owners have put down hay in several spots, which is lovely, but that's not really feasible by the creek.Marla T.

55Once again, Sadie had a blast and I, myself, had an hour to destress in this wonderful little piece of heaven which is Roshans’ Nature in the City private dog park. Be sure to bring your dog(s) and I believe it will be one of your favorite spots as well!Holly P.

It was very nice although, we did enjoy sliding in the mud! 😁Nellie Q.

FAQ about our Vancouver dog fields
Are dog fields safe?
If you are looking for an adventure, but also looking for safety, Sniffspot dog fields are a great option. While public dog parks have a number of safety issues, such as aggressive dogs, distracted dog owners, disease transmission and general cleanliness, Sniffspot dog parks are much safer than public dog parks. With Sniffspot all bookings are private space for just you and doggy friends you bring with you and we require all dogs to be vaccinated (or have equivalent titers). Especially for training, privacy is ideal. Contrary to public dog parks, all Sniffspot locations are vetted and reviewed by guests so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog for off leash exercise or outdoor training. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits are 5 stars, while public dog parks often do not even have verified reviews. All payment is done securely online by credit card in a few simple clicks.
How can I find dog fields in Vancouver?
There are 85 dog fields in the Vancouver area. The most popular dog field is Nature in the City Private Dog Park. You can browse all of our dog fields here.
How do I know if a dog field works for my dog?
All park rental information is available online. Start by filtering parks by fencing, size and distractions, to find a private spot that works for your dog. If your dog has poor recall, you can visit one of our secure fields. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our dog fields where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can review the details of the listing to make sure it works as your desired activity space, for example, safe dog exercise, dog training, a stress-free adventure with your furry friend or even a puppy event. You can even check the park amenities chart for amenities such as indoor training facilities, agility field, synthetic turf, exercise balls or field parking availability in advance. If inclement weather is an issue or poor field conditions, you can reschedule your visit up to 2 hours in advance.
What are the requirements to bring my dog to a Sniffspot dog field?
We require that all four-legged friends have basic vaccinations or equivalent titers. We do not allow dogs with a bite history. We require that guests sign our waiver and agree to follow our safety rules. Make sure to check host rules before visiting to ensure, for instance, that you are following allowable sports activities rules and any special events rules.
Will there be other dogs at the Sniffspot field at the same time as me?
No. Facility rentals are for private play time and any host dogs are required to be kept away from the area during visits, so this is perfect for a private adventure for you and your doggie friends, and perhaps a human friend. Hosts understand that many guests have dogs in training and are nervous owners. So when you book a Sniffspot dog field you have the entire private spot to yourself. We also enforce 30 min time buffers between time slots so you will not run into other guest dogs or a previous person when coming or leaving in the field parking area. Some hosts may have multiple fields, but there is always a buffer between fields.
