55We all had such a had such a great time watching our dogs roam around in this beautiful space!! The land was spacious and clean so we felt comfortable as we left them off leash. They ran, they chased, sniffed around, and played ball, until they became tired and decided to relax under the shade of the trees. What a fun adventure! We can’t wait to be back.Vanessa M.

55This is an amazing property and is set up perfectly, from the multiple zones to explore to everything a pup could want: multiple water dishes, shade + sun, a huge area to run and multiple patio areas to relax with toys or treats. The hosts are very welcoming and provide exactly the information that a visitor needs. I couldn’t stop smiling when I saw Oscar running across the yard, obviously happy, curious and relaxed. This was exactly what he needed to break out of the stress of the high dog density in the town where we live.Amy B.

55We all loved this Sniffspot! It’s very rare to find such a big fenced one so close to San Jose. We had to travel almost an hour to find anything like this.
Not only is it convenient for us but our dogs absolutely loved it. They ran and chased each other about for over half an hour. I’ve not seen them run like that in months!
The Sniffspot has a variety of turfs and experiences for the dogs. The large lawn is great for running and playing fetch, the trees provide shade for the pups to rest under and there are tons of other objects and smells for the dogs to explore.
It’s also quite safe, the pool is covered and the pond is fenced. All the plants in the yard that I could recognize were perfectly safe for dogs.
Overall, I would highly recommend Val’s Sniffspot and I’ll definitely be coming back!Leela P.

55The dogs really loved exploring this beautiful yard. There is a lot of space for games of tag and my squirrel hunter loved exploring the trees along the perimeter. The yard is fully fenced, but we are asked to keep dogs away from the pool and gardens, which was sometimes tricky for my dog with less than ideal recall. The host was very kind and responsive. We had a great experience and will definitely be back again!Katie R.

55This Sniffspot hit all the marks for me. It’s very neat and clean. It’s very spacious & on a beautiful property! It’s safe with secure/high fencing and also in a gated community. What else could you need? They leave water bowls out as well as some toys and potty bags. Super friendly hosts who are very accommodating. I had some questions and they were very responsive. Def bringing my pup back for another visit! Loved watching him roam curiously.. so much to sniff! He was exhausted after. I do want to mention there is a pool but there is a covering on top of it. :)Kimberly M.

FAQ about our Gilroy 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.

How do I know if a dog water park works for my 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.
