55This was a wonderful experience for my dogs. Caren was the perfect hostess, leading us all around the property. When one of my dogs decided he wanted to make it his new home, Caren and her husband mounted a full search for him! All ended well, and the dogs were exhausted at the end of the day. They absolutely loved the experience and the joy of frolicking.! I’ll definitely be taking them back!Julie E.

55Caren was such a great Sniffspot host! Her property was thoughtfully set up to ensure there was plenty of water and toys for the pups, as well as shade and seating for us. She also set out sunscreen, hand sanitizer, and extra poop bags.
Toward the end of our visit, she offered us a guided off-leash walk around the property, which we all loved. I highly recommend her Sniffspot and plan to return!Yvette R.

55What a great place!
Caren met us and showed us where to go. River was able to explore and enjoy running the entirety of the property. While River was explo4ing, I had a chance to chat with Caren who is an absolute pleasure.
River went from anxiety to best friends with Caren by the end of our visit. Caren was so amazing, sweet, gentle, and understanding of River. It felt so good to see River warm up to her so quickly. By the end of our time, Caren was throwing the ball for River.
I can't wait to come back again and hope Caren will join our future visits as well. Thank you for sharing the stories with me today.Mirka G.

55This venue is wonderful! Our pups ran and played fetch with the large selection of balls and frisbees. The area was large and wide open. They are now tuckered out and snoozing in the car. We will be back!Adrienne Z.

FAQ about our Valley Center dog water parks
Are dog water 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. 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. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits are 5 stars. If you are worried about whether you can have an enjoyable water experience, just know that it is possible to have peace of mind when visiting dog waterparks by following basic safety guidelines. Some great ways to stay safe around water with your dog include learning canine CPR and keep an eye on your dog at all times to ensure they are not distressed. You can learn more about safety around water here.
How can I find the best dog water parks in Valley Center?
How do I know if a dog water park works for my dog?
Start by applying basic filters, such as fencing and distractions, to find a dog park that works for your dog. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our fully fenced dog water parks. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our dog water parks where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. Make sure to review the amenities of the spot to see what kind of water features are offered to make sure it works for your dog. If your dog is not a strong swimmer, then perhaps choose a dog water park with tamer water features rather than a river or beach, for instance. We also recommend reading reviews and reaching out to the host with any questions, and of course, checking water park hours.
What are the requirements to bring my dog to a Sniffspot water park?
We require that all dogs 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. Additionally, we recommend following our water safety guidelines.
Will there be other dogs at the Sniffspot water park at the same time as me?
Sniffspot only allows one booking at a time and any host dogs are required to be kept away from the spot during visits. We also enforce 30 min time buffers between bookings.
If you are planning an amazing dog water park party, each Sniffspot water park has their own rules regarding special events. Many water parks allow doggie birthday parties, training and other event types. Event organizers need to be responsible for their guests and event organizers should coordinate with the host regarding their fun party.
What are the coolest doggie water features available?
Sniffspot dog water parks can have a variety of features, everything from swimming pools to rivers to beaches to hoses and kiddie pools. If you are dreaming of a curtain of water, water tunnels, a ball pit pool, water slide ball pits, splash pools or other cool features, you can definitely find amazing features at Sniffspot dog water parks. Each water park is different, so check the details of the park to find the incredible dog water park of your dreams.
