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.

55Fantastic setting. Perfect for my 2 dogs. Large yard for the one who likes to run, and a nice surrounding space for the one who likes to forage. I felt they were both safe and sound when they managed to get out of my sight. Corey N.

55Absolutely beautiful!! The yard is very large and incredibly well kept with fencing surrounding the whole area. Val is wonderfully communicative and gives instructions on everything so there’s no confusion. Everything goes by smoothly and efficiently with very sweet accommodations like toys and water bowls for the dogs. Celebrated our boy’s 4th birthday here and he had an absolute blast! Next time we may even do 2hrs. jasmin v.

55A gorgeous, HUGE, flat grassy area for my dog to stretch her legs and a large stretch of tanbark nestled around shrubbery for her to sniff to her hearts content. Val even had dog treats, sunscreen and hand wipes ready for use! 10/10! We will certainly be returning! Nicole H.

55Thank you so much for allowing us to enjoy your beautiful and well maintained backyard, it truly felt like a private park just for us. We all enjoyed our time very much, and absolutely would love to come back for more off-leash outdoor adventures. We absolutely loved what you had to offer and the amenities were perfect, we forgot treats but plenty were provided! Our dogs loved running on the expansive grass and roaming around the interesting plants around your yard. We definitely recommend this little park for enriching our reactive dog, and for our elder dog who enjoyed romping around and relaxing. Thank you so much for the memories on our dogs birthday weekend! Marina S.

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.
