55Jen's place is awesome! She was great and provided fresh water for the dogs. There were toys to play with and a lot of room to run and the swimming pool is huge. My pups had a great time exploring and playing with each other. We never heard or saw the dogs on property. Will definitely be back when it's warmer to enjoy the pool! Thank you, Jen!Thuyen B.

55Literally the best spot we’ve visited so far, and one of my biggest pet peeves about some hosts is where Jennifer excels: super responsive and helpful with relevant info. The only reason I could ever think of giving less than 5 stars is to selfishly prevent it from getting booked up. We will definitely be back!Sydney S.

55Beautiful tranquil property with lots of butterflies & birds. The yard has plenty of space to run laps. There is gorgeous landscaping, but with landscaping comes bugs so bring bug spray. Our dogs had a wonderful time!Limara J.

55This was my first time ever using Sniffspot, I was extremely impressed by this property, and the owner! I brought my two doggies, Skittles (Jack Russell) and Minnie (Chihuahua), my mom brought her two chihuahuas (Bella and Wiggles). The property was super straight forward, just park by the gate then open the gate when it’s your time to this back yard oasis! This Sniffspot allowed the pups, my mom and I the opportunity to have an awesome time in the pool. The property it’s self is gorgeous, bamboo trees are gorgeous, pool and yard were extremely clean and well kept. I did bring my own doggy waste bags, I did not note if there were doggie bags on property so I would recommended to be safe bring your own, on the way out there was a trash can to place dog waste. Dog bowl with water in it was present, but I did opt to bring my own dog bowl and waters. Like I said property was well maintained, the pool is not caged in so there will be some debris, naturally otherwise extremely well kept. Not sure if owner was home/present, did not hear or see any advice that suggested they were. No dogs barking around property, which was nice. Overall I don’t even think I heard traffic noise. The only downside and THIS IS NO FAULT TO THE OWNER OR PROPERTY was that the pavement pavers surrounding the immediate pool were extremely hot… I had a hard time walking on them without shoes, they were really hot. My time slot was between 2:30pm to 5pm, if I were to rent this Sniffspot again I would rent it in the morning or the evening versus midday. Like I said this is NO FAULT to the owner or property, besides I thought that my doggies would either be in the pool or exploring the property but for some reason they kept trying to walk on the hot pavers LOL should not be an issue if your pup enjoys exploring or being in the pool!!Emilee F.

55Such a treat for my pup! Area was clean and maintained! She got to swim until she was exhausted and she loved every second. Easy entry instructions. If you are visiting in the summer I would recommend bug spray just because of the area. Loved everything about this spot!Faithann S.

55My dog had a great time using the pool! The yard was very quiet and tall privacy fencing all around the yard. There were a lot of leaves in the pool which was no big deal and we cleaned some of them out when we arrived. We brought some of our dogs water toys, but the host even had some toys available which was nice. This was our first time using sniffspot and we’d definitely use this one again for the pool!Colleen K.

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.

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.
