Lindsay's Fully Fenced Yard For Dogs To Rent In Sterling | Sniffspot
55My foster pup had so much fun playing in her yard! He especially had a blast sliding down the small hill on his belly that she has in her back yard. She was also extremely considerate. She left out a huge bowl of water and two balls for my boy to play with. I will definitely use her yard again!Sabrina P.

55Loved visiting this sniff spot! Lots of space, a nice area to sit, and a pool for the pup! There was also a seemingly very friendly dog next door that my dog enjoyed running up and down the fence with. Kristi F.

55Great yard! Good size yard for fetch and lots of good sniffs. Loved the tall fences so my pups couldn’t see the people or other dogs around us. Loved the toy and water options as well! Kaitlyn H.

55Yard is gorgeous and fence is very secure! Our pup loved running around and exploring everything. We did hear the neighbor dog bark one time... not a huge deal for a "normal" dog, but a big deal for our girl. Vera was super responsive and is actually helping us explore if there would be a better schedule for us to use the space for our girl and her quirks!Marcy F.

55Celine’s backyard was a lot of fun! She left a doggie pool full of water, and my son and I got to run around with our puppy and play soccer with their net. She even left us a small gift - some homemade doggie shampoo. Very pleasant experience. Highly recommend. Amy K.

55Ana’s yard has a lot to explore, with a chunk of it being shaded too which is helpful for the summertime! We loved how easy it was to get in and out, and it’s well fenced!Susmita & Alec T.

55Good parking and easy entrance. Host was very responsive and flexible as it was raining that day and she let me come a bit early to catch a gap in the rain. Space for fetch was limited space since half the yard is up a small hill and has lots of little trees, but likely fine for small to medium dogs. Overall a very nice spot! Caitlin F.

FAQ About Sterling Dog Parks
