55Definitely a great experience!!! Perfect size pool and yard for giving your pup a great day. So fun trying to get our girl to swim, but she might be a bit of a land lubber. Great area we were able to toss some toys for her as well!!! Thanks so much Jennifer and fam for sharing your awesome Sniff Spot!!!☺️☺️☺️Tricia O.

55I’ll definitely go again! It’s so beautiful & peaceful! Ok , Here are my pros & cons!
Pro:
A lot of sniffing , tress, bushes, curious sniffers will fully appreciate it! Everything was clean, water bowls w hose, pool pristine, places for doggo parents to rest
Easy in & out 5/5
Cons:
No house number anywhere- I was worried to just open someone else’s gate/house 😬I finally opened the app & found someone pic against the gate and I shouted hello for a minute just to be sure — the gate is wonky - so they added an engineering screw (smart) but the bottom lock doesn’t meet the slot so I was concerned someone could open it n let my dogs out or that my very clever dog would push it open — I think it’s safe & im just bad at figuring that kinda thing out tbh haha so I just walked around w my doggos … lol 😝 but I’m so paranoid-I’ll be back probably next week I loved it so much n it’s so beautiful & peaceful ☺️ you could meditate while they SNIFF! Still it’s 5/5 really awesome place!!! Dolly & Wayne are passed out lol 😝 Michelle J. L.

55The first thing my dog did was run the whole property happily sniffing along the way. There's a cute outside shower area that I wouldn't have seen if it wasn't for my dog's curiosity.
Swimming was a lot of fun. I may have the only dog who doesn't know how to swim. After I showed her how to get out of the pool, we enjoyed the swimming pool and she did very well learning how to swim.
Pool was clean. I am 5'3" and there is only a small shallow end so I advise that u should be a good swimmer to enjoy the entire pool.
The backyard has a lot of seating. One area had sitting hammocks. Another had a climbing rope. There it's still enough space for you to romp around with your dog. Diane M.

55We had a blast! My two year old border collie mix and her doggy friend ran, played, and swam. It was a little confusing to find (couldn’t find the house number from the road), but the GPS really did work exactly right. The area is beautiful, peaceful, with lots of sitting areas for the humans. Looking forward to another visit!Yuri Y.

55Great Sniffspot! My dog really enjoyed exploring the yard. He wasn’t brave enough to jump in the pool but hopefully we can work up to that. Plenty of areas to sit for the humans too! Brynn L.

FAQ about our Valrico 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.
