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.

55Third time there! Love it so much that I am joining the Sniffpass today so I can go regularly. Highly recommend this place. Perfect for my reactive dog to have a safe place to romp. Rarely see neighbors on the other side of fence which is a godsend for us. Jeanine S.

55This Sniffspot was amazing! It was clean & there were no dogs nearby so my dog & his friend could run around freely without worrying about other dogs. The space is huge so our dogs were able to explore off leash & they were super happy by the end of the visit. Priscilla R.

55Absolutely lived up to all the reviews. Instructions were perfect, including a designated area for parking. The field was massive with shade, sunlight and a ton of space for dogs to run. It’s heaven for dogs. Will absolutely return. Steven N.

55This is a really nice quiet spot. They provide a large area with fresh water, a ball, a chair and poop removal materials. Host gave clear directions on how to access the spot and explained she was happy to help should anything arise.
This was our first time using Sniffspot and it was a really good experience. Our little puppers was worn out from sniffing after 30 mins! Haha. Rachel M.

55This place is surrounded by lush green mountains. It is peaceful and quiet and my babies had the time of their life here. Kristie, the host, was very friendly and thorough in explaining where to park and how to enter. Her spot is also very well marked with signs. We live far from this spot but will for sure be back!Elena C.

55Super relaxing place to wander around and let my dog sniff and eat grass. Good distance if you play fetch. Might want to bring a towel to dry the chairs on a damp day. Wonderful experience. Thanks!Sybl A.

55This place was wonderful! So much space, and it was clean! Lots of water, trash bins, etc. available. Kristie was very friendly, and was nice enough to keep an eye out for me for early cancellations. We went in the evening around 5pm and we caught the sunset. Perfect way to end our weekend. My pups were tired and fulfilled. Coming back for sure! Sarah S.

55Canine paradise! It was exactly as advertised. A big, beautiful, grassy space with secure fencing, clean and available water, lots and lots of sniffing opportunities, a poop scooper, and garbage cans. My ball-chasing dog chased balls until she couldn't anymore. My difficult dog was a little anxious (typical for her), but she did calm down when there was nothing to stress about. We can't wait to return!Holly N.

55We had such an amazing time at Kristie’s Sniffspot, she was super helpful and responsive and our dog had such an amazing time he did not want to leave! The neighbors were walking some dogs in the distance but cal (our very reactive dog) didn’t seem to notice he was having such a good time. Highly recommend!

55Great Sniffspot! My dogs really enjoyed their time running in the grass. Big tubs of water, poop bags, trash cans and even a couple of chairs rounded out a perfect morning of fun. Kristie was super easy to communicate with. Will definitely returnVanessa M.

55Our experience at Hillside Meadow was absolutely wonderful! It offered a serene escape for me and my reactive dogs, providing a safe and secluded area for them to play and explore. The amenities provided, such as waste disposal stations and fresh water sources, were convenient and well-maintained, adding to the overall enjoyment of our visit. Hillside Meadow exceeded my expectations, providing a peaceful retreat that we all thoroughly enjoyed. I highly recommend it!!Nayeli P.

55Great Sniffspot! Our LGD wore herself out exploring all the smells and climbing to the top of the hill to get an overlook of the area. As others noted, there are a lot of cow patties around, but luckily our girl didn’t care. You can hear the animals on the neighbors’ properties. Kelley K.

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.
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 Hollister 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 30 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 6 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.
