55Definitely a great place, very spacious and very beautiful, my dogs love it! Plenty of space for my dogs to run and explore, and they loved the kiddie pool. The host prepared toys for them to play, and prepared mint water for us. Overall a great experience!Mark K.

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!

55The Pawsome Dog park is Bradley’s weekend adventure. After a long “exhausting week” at doggie day care, our boy can’t wait to have his well deserved “alone time”. Simply the best 🐶🐶🐶🐶🐶Jack H.

55We really enjoyed Val’s Sniffspot. It’s very clean and well maintained. We have two escape artist shibas and try to avoid dog parks so this was perfect for us to get our boys energy out. It’s fully fenced. The check in process is easy and the place was easy to find. Jason T.

55This is a fantastic place for multiple pups! We had five in our group, and there was more than enough room for everyone to run and play. Driving up from Sunnyvale, I thought it would be hot, but to my surprise, it was really enjoyable. Way cooler than I expected! The owners were very helpful and accommodating. Both the email communication and in person meetings made us all feel welcomed. Since part of our group lives south of Gilroy and the rest of up north, this was a perfect middle ground for all of us to meet. We will definitely be holding our pup family reunions here again!Crystal R.

55Will be back again. My pups had a great time and were exhausted the rest of the day! The yard is MASSIVE which gave the pups plenty of room to run and chase after the toys (provided by Val). Greet experience! Alexandria G.

55The host was very communicative, and the property was easy to locate. Once inside the area was clean and spacious, and our pup had a great time running around and exploring. Plenty of toys on hand and the kiddie pool was fun for her to cool off in. The area was actually very relaxing for us, the property is very beautiful and private. We would return in a heartbeat!Kate G.

55We come back again and again for a reason, this is really "hi-end resort" Sniffspot, the spring flowers in the garden are in full bloom and the dogs can hardly contain their excitement when we approach this property. Su C.

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.
