Lucy made boarding Missy easy and stress-less. She communicated perfectly and sent lots of updates with Missy and her play pals! I did not have to worry about wondering if Missy was in the right hands because Lucy left no doubt that she was. I would definitely board with Lucy again in the future.

The best dog friendly neighborhoods
in Santa Maria

Pine Canyon

A lush green area, Pine Canyon is home to one of the best parks in the area, Orcutt Community Park. This dog park is loved by dogs and their owners alike. It is extremely well-maintained by park rangers and visitors. It has a beautiful view of the city from the top of the hill. Like other dog parks, it is separated according to dog size. Furthermore, dogs and owners that love physical activity will love this dog park because of its many trails and routes. This is the perfect park to take your dog after a lovely brunch in the city.

Central Santa Maria

Central Santa Maria is home to one of the most fun dog parks in the city, WOOF Pac Off-Leash Dog Park in Santa Maria. This dog park is nothing short of doggie heaven. WOOF stands for ‘Winners Of Off-Leash Freedom’, an acronym created when community members lobbied the city for the dog park they wanted. The park has a great deal of grass, open spaces and fresh water. It is also split into zones depending on your dog’s size and temperament. Since this is a very well-known park, it is wise to walk your dog on a leash through the park before you let them run free.

Waller Park

What makes Waller Park wonderful is that it not only welcomes your family pets like your dogs but it is also home to animals such as ducks and geese. The park can get extremely busy on the weekends, so make sure your loyal companion is on a leash. The park is a wonderful mixture of well-maintained gardens, manicured grassy areas, play areas and two dog parks. If your dog loves playing outside you have to take them to Waller Park! They will be able to chase squirrels and run around until they are too tired to run anymore. Both of you will have a pawtastic time!

Nipomo

It also has a large number of benches and chairs for dog owners. In addition, the park has many watering spots specifically for dogs! Just make sure you walk your dog on a leash first because it is a large park and it is easy to get lost.

Lompoc
