55Lovely property, with a GIANT arena to play in that is clean, with soft dirt. Great place to throw a ball or frisbee. If your dog is okay with horses, you can explore the property further. Lots of opportunities to sniff and explore.
No shade at the arena, but as it was on the cooler side the day I visited, that didn’t matter for us. Mandy B.

55This is on a working horse ranch and there are horses around the fenced arena. It was great exposure for my dogs and also an opportunity to train around horses. There are dogs in other areas around the property that can be seen and heard. My dogs were not bothered. We did not venture out to the rest of the property on this visit. The host had good communication. Thanks for sharing the space with us! Rebecca S.

55It was amazing! Kristie was great and super easy to communicate with. The spot was clean and gated and exactly as described. Kristie has big bowls of water in case you forget to bring your own. There are two chairs as well in the shade in case you want to have a seat while the dogs play. It was a great experience and most importantly our boys loved it! 5/5Zach H.

55It was a great spot for our 2 dogs. Lots of open field for our dogs to run around. They even have poop bags, a trash can, and 2 chairs under the shade. The place to park our car was right by the entrance of the gate and in view from the chairs. We and the dogs felt very comfortable playing/running around. We would definitely come back again!Sarah L.

55Easy to find and everything was well signed. My dogs had a great time running round. There is an incline in the field (in case anyone has a walking challenge) but this wasn’t an issue for us. Clean field and there are chairs in case you want to sit down while the dogs play. Lots of water with a combination of shaded and open areas. We will be back for sure! Tara D.

Sterlyng's Private Dog Park In Morgan Hill | Sniffspot
55Sterlyng's property is huge and impeccably maintained, offering a serene stroll through the vines. My pup had a blast with multiple zoomies! Sterlyng graciously met us beforehand, providing clear instructions about the boundaries. The grass was neatly trimmed for our visit. While there were some foxtails in certain areas, the majority of the property was well-maintained and watered, ensuring a safe environment. We stuck to the well-kept sections to avoid any issues. We had the place to ourselves, allowing for peaceful walks and excellent recall practice for my pup amidst the vines and pathways. Highly recommended for any dog owner looking for a safe and enjoyable environment for their canine companion. We will definitely visit again. Aditi S.

55Val was very responsive and helpful. He made sure that we had everything we needed and gave detailed directions. I would definitely message him along with reserving a spot so he can give you access to the front gate. There is a mailbox in the front with the house number on it if you're having trouble finding the house.
There was a covered swimming pool in the backyard and a kiddy pool that the dogs could use. A patio with some seating is near the house with some shade, so you can stay out of the sun. The lawn was big enough for me to throw the ball really far (using my ball launcher) for my dog to fetch. Some balls and water were also provided along with poop bags and a trash to dispose of them.
I'd definitely come again to use the kiddy pool! Charity K.

55This is the most beautiful 1.5 acre fully fenced area. Gorgeous manicured huge grass area with trees surrounding for plenty of shade on warm days. I have been looking for a secure large area to practice recall and this place is just perfect. My dog loved all the areas for sniffing and huge grass field for playing frisbee. There was a lovely welcome sign and sign for water bowl. Cannot speak highly enough about this beautiful placeChristina T.

55Wonderful SniffSpot and yard! The host was very kind and thorough in her instructions and messages. Our Luna loved running to her heart’s content! The lawn area is very large. I used a Chuck it ball thrower and never worried about throwing it too far. I would / will definitely come back! Becca T.

FAQ about our Hollister 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.
