55Val was very responsive and gave clear directions. Her yard/property is amazing and the dogs had so much fun! Fully fenced and totally secure. Big lawn area and some dirt/wood chip areas for them to roam as well. Water bowls provided along with toys etc. if you want them, but we brought our own toys. We did not see or hear any dogs. We will definitely be back. Thanks Val! Ilene W.

55Val's spot was beautiful! Our dog loved the open grass and the kiddie pool. The balls available was a nice touch as well. Would definitely come again!Quinn C.

55Easy to find and good parking. Host was super nice and greeted us to explain the open areas of the property. Didn't see any other people or critters while we were there. Some grapevines, dirt/gravel road, and field area for the dogs. Glad we went in the morning because there is not a lot of shade so I'm sure it gets hot later in the day. Host provided water for the dogs and even sunscreen in case you need it!Ilene W.

55The host created a welcoming atmosphere. Provided clear boundaries of the land and other amenities. We added the freshly picked herbs and they have a pleasant aroma. 10/10 would come again. Great place for first timers. Jordin N.

55We had a great time using the pool and farm.
The pool steps are a little big; so if you have a small dog I do not think they would be able to get out by themselves. But the pool was clean and did not smell of chemicalsEmily S.

55We really enjoyed the spot, especially the pool. Sterlyng was very warm, friendly, and accommodating. We forgot to pack our dog’s treats and were so happy to see some treats set out along with other dog essentials. Will look forward to visiting again soon sometime!Tiffany H.

55This is a beautiful and expansive and friendly place. You can walk among the vineyard with your dog off leash. It’s clean and just a lovely way to spend time with you and your best buddy. The people who run it are exceptionally friendly and respectful. I highly recommend this spot. Think you’ll find a nicer one. 😁Nora D.

55We had a fantastic experience at Sterlyng’s place! My dogs and I primarily used the pool, and it was such a wonderful time. Sterlyng was incredibly flexible in adjusting our booking time last minute, which we greatly appreciated. She and her family were lovely, making us feel right at home. The pool was clean and perfect for a fun day with my dogs. I highly recommend this spot for anyone looking for a great outing with their furry friends!Megan P.

55Great place, we will definitely be back. Host, very welcoming and you will feel comfortable. The amenities were an excellent touch. From poop bags to dog wipes and even sunscreen! The pool was very clean. The patio as well. Dog water bowls and hoses were in just the right places. I wish we got to walk. There is a lót of property to explore. Safely too. My dog unfortunately has never been around a pool; it was a challenge. Upon the suggestion of the host, we will come later in the day, explore and try the pool again. We will be back! Thank you again for opening your home and heart to us and all dogs! Zabrina H.

55We had a wonderful time celebrating my pup's 10th birthday and escaping the heat at Sterlyng's pool! Unfortunately, it was too hot to run around the property, but the property seemed well landscaped. She was accommodating and made sure we were having a great time (which we did!). Grace L.

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.

55This spot gets 5 stars due to location. No joke this is probably the best sniff spot in driving distance from the Bay Area. Huge pros are the variety of things to do and the pool, which was so affordable and we were given some towels and goodies for our time there. My dog loved the treats. Honestly the pool alone as an experience makes the spot a win.
Some cons/ things to be aware of: there are foxtails of several varieties along the borders of the property especially. In a good note they seem either too young (at the time) or too old and long dead to really pose an issue. Which was good. The spot was well mowed in some areas where they seemed to exist before hand. There was construction on the property which was out of the way and my dog was sketched out by at first, as well as cars driving through the property. This isn’t an issue for me but I want to point it out as that can be an issue for some dogs. There are dogs able to be heard from the neighbors, and chickens visible from the pool. The space is unfenced and against a road- again, not a problem for my dog but just something to be aware of for another dog. The space is crowded and it’s probably not the most amazing for a dog who wants to do distance fetching, but for mine who just wants to dash down the grape plants and sniff a bit it was a great hit. There are rocks on the property along a gravel road that could be swallowed if you’re got a rock eating lab, and some dog poop that was left behind (though idk what Sniffspot doesn’t have that. We made sure to pack out what we found). My dog did roll around in the short grass by the road and got covered head to tail in burrs- but as long as you don’t also have a dog who’s a drama queen about getting into the car after having fun, this probably won’t be an issue.
All in all my dog had a fantastic time, and the spot is literally the best thing out there for the right dog. Jes K.

55Our first sniff spot experience and it was a hit! We were greeted at the front and given all the info about the property as well as its boundaries. We mainly came for the pool and the host (mom & daughter duo) very thoughtfully laid out everything you could need - sunscreen, towels, treats, and even doggie bags if you forgot yours at home. They also left out a dog deodorant which was a lifesaver for minimizing the wet dog smell in the ensuing car ride home. We had a blast teaching our pup to swim and definitely recommend this spot if you’re looking for a sniff spot with a pool! Cassidy R.

FAQ about our San Juan Bautista 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. 96% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the San Juan Bautista 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 33 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 7 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.
Does San Juan Bautista have any fully fenced dog parks?
