55The yard was big and had several enriching aspects: trees (which we hid some of the toys Karen provided in for our dog to sniff out and find), leaf piles, and lots of land in view where squirrels, birds, and geese could be seen/heard. Karen was kind enough to provide a bin of toys, towels, plentiful water, and even had a baggie of treats for Bilbo! There is an emphasis here on making the guest and dog comfortable. We will definitely be back!Jessica B.

55Excellent very clean space. More than enough room for the dogs to run around. Plenty of toys and towels were provided. For those with reactive dogs we didn’t see or hear any other dogs the whole hour we were there. Will definitely be visiting again! Hugh H.

55My two Aussies are absolutely exhausted after an hour of playing and sniffing here! Highly recommend. It was a pretty location with a secure tall fence, with toys, water, treats and waste bags provided. Didn’t see any people or dogs, and was pretty well isolated from things that would easily trigger reactive pups. I loved getting to see my dogs get to be dogs in a safe environment.
My dogs had a blast! Thank you! Jenna M.

55Took my two pups to play yesterday and they had a blast! Karen has all the essentials for an enjoyable time - toys, poop bags, water bowl, benches, and even dog treats! Very secure, with lots of space for my pups to run. The trees will be awesome shade for warmer days and we can’t wait for the kiddie pool! Highly recommend and we will definitely be back!Kim H.

55My first sniff spot experience and absolutely exceeded expectations. The owner went above and beyond to have everything we could possibly need out and a big bowl of water which my dogs loved! There's nothing I would change about my experience! Casserole and Wall-E can't wait to come back! Samantha D.

55This was our first time going to a sniffspot and Karen set the bar high! The property was beautiful, well maintained, and clean. The visit was private and we didn’t see any other dogs, animals, or people. Karen’s hospitality was also incredible - it had rained the day before and she sent us a note to say she’d leave our towels. Not only that but she also provided treats, a ton of toys, waste bags, water, and first aid supplies. Definitely recommend this spot!Juliet G.

55What a nice spot! My dogs had a wonderful time. Immediately upon entering, they grabbed themselves a toy from the provided toy box. They had lots of water - again, provided! Karen included treats, a cute welcome sign, poop bags, wipes (dog and human), chairs, and a canine first aid kit. My dogs ran themselves silly and even now - 7 hours later, they are still worn out. Thanks Karen!! Lynn R.

55Karen’s spot was perfect. Our dogs had the best hour of their life running and playing with new toys! The little bag of treats and welcome sign we’re just the cherry on top. The spot was super easy to find, too. We will definitely be back!Annie H.

55This space was worth the drive! Everything we could have needed was there and the host even provided towels (given the wet weather we’ve had). My boys loved it and were definitely worn out after our time there!Leila S.

55We had a great time! I can’t recommend Karen’s enough! I have one dog that routinely jumps my 4 foot fences and Houdini’s out of anything, but the fence was well-maintained and plenty high to keep her in! I will definitely be back! Grace J.

55My GSD is scared of so much and life. We go on walks but her favorite is to be off leash and be a dog. This space was so perfect for Hazel, she built confidence swimming, and playing fetch. She had so much fun and is now a very tired girl!! Kelsey F.

FAQ about our Hillsboro 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. 98% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Hillsboro 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 46 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 3 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.
