55Our pups loved The Pawsome dog park. We stopped by here during our roadtrip from the Bay Area to Carmel. Val left out toys for the pups to use which our golden retriever loved. If we are ever in the area, we definitely would love to come back again. Thank you to Val for being such a great host and letting us use your beautiful yard. Wai K.

55Such a wonderful yard! We brought 3 large dogs and were panting after 15 minutes! They had a kiddie pool placed in the shade that refreshed the pups and they quickly went back to running wild. Great sniff spot!!!Ashley Q.

55Our dogs loved the open space to run around along with all the other things to sniff. The kiddie pool was full and in a nice shaded area. We felt safe with our dogs off leash with the secure fence. There were other neighbor dogs barking but our dogs were unbothered! Val was very responsive and a great host. They even provided mint water for the hot morning. We will be back! Daniel P.

55This Sniffspot absolutely exceeded our expectations. There was so much space for our busy terrier to run and explore-she had the best time and burned off a ton of energy. The yard was immaculate and beautifully maintained, full of vibrant flowers and plants that made it feel like a little oasis.
We loved the thoughtful touches like the kiddie pool for cooling off and the dog treats stocked in the outdoor fridge. The host was super responsive. We’re already looking forward to our next visit!

FAQ About Gilroy 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.
Are dog parks safe?
While public dog parks have a number of safety issues, such as aggressive dogs, disease transmission and general cleanliness, Sniffspot dog parks 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. 3% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Gilroy area are 5 stars.
How do I know if a dog park works for my dog?
You can filter Sniffspot dog parks by fencing and distractions. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our 84 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 153 off leash areas where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can also filter locations to avoid other domestic animals and people. We also recommend reading reviews and reaching out to the host with any questions.
