55We had the best time! I really appreciated how clear and clean everything was. We drove about an hour to check this spot out and will definitely be back. We are just very grateful that people are willing to open up their space for our doggy to swim! He loved it! Michelle D.

55This place was great! My dog loved the toy basket and spent most of the time fishing the toys out of the pool and exploring the yard. Very clean and beautiful home. Will definitely return!Leslie R.

55This spot was well thought out with toys, and water available. There is a shaded area and steps available to gradually enter the pool. Great way to cool off for my yellow Labrador. We’ll certainly be back. Sara S.

55Our second visit was so much fun! We utilized a few of the provided toys and Maddy had so much fun retrieving the fluorescent yellow floaty. I have a happy and tired girl! Swimming with your pup is such a fun add on, as I enjoyed my dip as well. Sara S.

55Our first Sniffspot experience was just stellar thanks to this spot!
Kudos for the environment being very dog-friendly:
- Clean and intact toys.
- Clean water bowl.
- Poop scooper.
The shelf as the first step into the pool was absolutely perfect for doggie's first swim. By the end of the session she was hanging out on the shelf, and was starting to feel around to the next lower level.
Water was nice and warm and clear.
Environment as advertised.

55This spot was perfect! There was plenty of seating, dog toys, and shade. We enjoyed the deep first step as my dogs were hesitant to get in the deep pool. It was very clean and a secure backyard. My dogs enjoyed all the new smells!
(I don’t know if it was a fluke, but my Google maps put me in a loop between Hwy 50 & 80 …maybe because of construction. Definitely not the owner’s issue, but allow yourself extra time if you’re coming from far. I would definitely visit again! The owner was very understanding and allowed us a few extra minutes. 🙏)Dena B.

55Hi Doggo Swimmers & Peeps -
Another stellar adventure at Valentine's Doggy Dip! Our 4th time here - Wheeee.
From Axa:
Mom is trying to teach me to swim. I feel like I'm getting it, but I prob need a few more times of getting accustomed.
From Mom:
Yeap - She knows how to get me to keep coming back, LOLOL!
As usual -
The yard and pool are kept wonderfully neat. Still stocked with doggy toys.
A few more things to highlight that I have not mentioned before:
- Very nice seating and shade for the humans.
- Parking is on the street. Plenty of space.
- Entry gate precisely where stated in the listing. Try to remember on the gate to keep the little bit of string on the INSIDE. That makes it easier to unlatch on the way out.
- Dedicated poo/pee patch of grass (doggos have made it that way on their own).
- On the opposite side of house from gate there is a little patch to an isolated back spot. Axa has checked it out a few times, but I keep an eye on her.
Thanks, Valentine!! Much appreciate your contribution of your beautiful yard for the dog community to enjoy!Coco C.

55My dog and I had an awesome time at this Sniffspot. The place was very clean and the pool refreshing. The pool is great for nervous dogs because it’s got a large shallow landing. We will for sure be back! Sonja V.

FAQ about our Rio Vista 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?
