55Absolutely fantastic! I held a whole dog party at Jennifer’s Sniffspot and it was everything I could have imagined! Jennifer was incredibly helpful in planning and setting up, and Zoe her daughter came and took absolutely incredible photos of my dog and all his friends. The space is awesome for both the dogs and humans, I will definitely be back! I can’t say enough about how much fun this was and how great Jennifer is!Caroline B.

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.

55Great space for you and your furry friend to spend some one on one with no distractions. This sniffspot is in a quiet neighborhood. The access point to the yard is easy, and the fenced area is secure with plenty of room to romp around, play ball, or swim. We will be back for more fun! Holly B.

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.

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.

55We had a really grate time at Charlee's private pool and yard. Our dog had a blast sniffing around the yard and playing fetch. He even had some poolside zoomies running laps around the yard. As an apartment dweller, it was so fun to see him cut loose. The yard and pool are immaculate and have everything you need including a hose, water bowl, and dog toys. Bring your own towels, waste bags, and doggie life jacket. We saw no other dogs or people during our visit. We will return agan. Thank you so much, Charlee. Chrissy + Will V.

55Such a lovely yard and pool!! I’m starting my dock diving journey with my pup and instead of driving an hour to a dock, some days we just want some relaxing practice 15 minutes from our apartment. I’m hoping to visit quite often!! Sometimes with my pups’ doggy friends too !!!Caitlin H.

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.
