Sterlyng's Private Dog Park In Morgan Hill (Optional Pool Extra add-on)

Partially Fenced

10 acres

We are on 10 acres and would love to share our yard with you. Beautiful Mountain View’s amongst grape vines with gravel pathways. On the interior portion of the park is a dirtbike track with a more rugged terrain and incline walking. Definitely more weeds, but if you are looking for a more off road feeling this is another option aside from the full pathway around the perimeter of the dirtbike track. This time of year the grapevines are a beautiful with lots of beautiful green foliage. We do also have a cool off spot in the front of the house under a very large old pine tree with roses to smell while your dog has their belly on the cool green grass by their water bowl in the shade. Where your new morning or afternoon ritual begins. Please note: Pool is an ‘extra’ charge. You can add this item as an extra while adding this spot to your cart. Not included in base charge. PUP PARTIES 🎉🥳🎈🎁🐶🐾🎈🎁🎉 We are still new to SniffSpot but have been asked multiple times recently if we would host pup parties. This is something I have not yet put a price point on but can make this feasible as well. If you are interested in coordinating something, please message me and I can send you SniffSpot items available for parties. (i.e. BBQ, Tables, chairs, shaded areas, pool time. etc)

August 2024

This was our first time trying Sniffspot and we couldn’t have picked a better place! The host sent clear instructions ahead of time. It’s a large yard that’s beautifully maintained, clean, and fully fenced. They also had toys, water, and a little kiddie pool. Our dog Frankie had so much fun sniffing, running around, and using the kiddie pool. 10/10 recommend and we will definitely book this place again!

Leo R.

Really beautiful and well maintained yard with a lot of open space. My dog really liked playing fetch here.

Leticia R.

August 2024

Our two basset hounds (Moose & Molly) had a great time. The property is beautiful and quite spacious for a good game of fetch or to have a glorious sniff session. Instructions were clear and it was easy to get in. We appreciated the provisions of dog waste bags, dog treats, hand sanitizer gel & wipes and sunscreen— very thoughtful! Thank you again for hosting us!

Such a beautiful property, so much room to play and explore! I can’t wait to take my dog back again soon.

I recently visited Pawsome Dog Park with my husky, Roxie, and we had an amazing time! Roxie had an absolute blast running around and playing in the kiddie pool. The facilities are well-maintained and provide a safe, fun environment for dogs to socialize and play. Roxie was so happy and exhausted after just 30 minutes of play, which is a testament to how engaging and enjoyable the park is. Huge shoutout and thanks to Pawsome Dog Park for giving us this wonderful opportunity to bond. We can't wait to come back!

We had a great time ! I have a Doberman who loves to run around and play ball. The whole property is fenced which made me feel safe for him. There were toys , water, and waste bags. Great experience!

Lovely space! Just as advertised. The host had excellent communication and messaged us very detailed instructions right before our time. Our dogs had a blast running around and exploring all the nooks and crannies. Would highly recommend!

This property is wonderful. My dog got some much needed off leash exercise. The happiness on her face said it all. The hosts had the sweetest welcome message for us in chalk at the entry gate. There was fresh water left out, toys to play with, and the setting is so peaceful that I wanted to just sit and relax! We will be back.

Another one of our favorite sniff spots. Huge open, clean space and plenty of room to explore.

This is a beautiful location that is well-kept and thoughtfully stocked with pup essentials for a good time! Getting there and into the yard was seamless, and the owner was easy to communicate with. Our pup had a blast with the tennis ball and chuck-it provided (mind you there were many other toys, too!), and he loved the endless grass! The hand sanitizer was a nice touch for owners to use before and after play. Thank you!
