55We've come to Maria's many, many times and each time the visit has been excellent. Her yard is not attached to any particular house, so as it says in the description, this is a private dog park!! The fencing is high and there are many places for dogs to sniff and lots of room to run. For the humans there is usually a place to sit, sometimes a tent, and plenty of parking and light. The sniffspot is close to a trail, a neighborhood, and a park so you can easily combine your sniffing with another adventure. We love Maria's and thank her for hosting us all the time! Antonia D.

55Another great visit! It’s been so wet and muddy lately it was amazing to see mulch chips put down to combat that! It was greatly appreciated 😊Jennifer H.

55Our dog LOVED running around this yard and playing with the toys there. Like other reviewers said, it is muddy but we were prepared and brought wipes for the paws afterwards. I will say the gate from the lot is tricky and I don't know if I would have been able to do it by myself but luckily my husband was with us. I'm 5'2 and couldn't reach the latch on the other side, and you have to lift it and it's pretty heavy. Our dog was very happy!Amanda F.

55This was our first time using Sniffspot and it was a great experience.
The location has lots of room to run and play. We loved the tennis balls and toys, and appreciated the super secure fence. We’ll definitely be back! 🐶🐶Christina C.

55This spot was very cute and pretty well lit in the dark. It was harder for me to find bc the address did not work with my gps. Once I put the name of the church noted in the instructions in my gps I was able to find it easily. My dog Luna had a blast. Courtney S.

55What a perfect spot! We took our three dogs here today, and they had such a fun time!! The large, grassy yard is fully fenced, and the space is clean, safe, and supercute with string lights, some chairs to sit, and a table with dog toys. Because of the tall fence, we didn’t see any other dogs or people, so our pups could fully relax and enjoy themselves. Parking was easy, too. We hope to come back! Thanks, Maria!Nikki E.

55Our visit was a big success. The yard is big and my dog was really able to stretch his legs. He had a great time. There are chuck-its for throwing balls and a trash can for poop bags. We will definitely be using Maria’s yard againLuke M.

55Our pups had a great time. The yard had plenty of space to run and play with toys available. Super secure and clean place for my somewhat reactive and anxious babies. Despite the spot backing on to a main road, it didn’t phase my dogs who usually don’t care for road noise.
Some reviews mention finding the entrance being hard to find. When I figured it out, it was actually so straightforward that i’d missed it! As you enter the driveway off the road, park in the area straight ahead, on the left of the property. The yard is actually right as you drive in to that parking area off the road, on the right hand side. You’d have to park and walk back to where you initially enter. Some have described it as being behind the property but it’s actually right at the front, completely separated from the house itself and I’d actually describe it as being a front yard rather than a back one. Hope that this helps others.
Thanks Maria! We will be back soon.Mayyasa R.

55Excellent booking. I missed the initial turn into the small parking lot but the posting does explain everything so that's on me. The yard is huge and the fencing is secure. They had a bowl and a few toys out there. But I brought my own toys for the dogs to play with. The only negative I can thing of is the amount of gnats that we're flying in my face. But bug spray was provided. And what can you do? You're outside. There's gonna be bugs. Will definitely go again!wesley d.

55Maria has a large fenced yard with plenty of trees. We enjoyed our time there. Our dog is reserved and somewhat anxious so the street noise bothered him, but once he settled down, he ran and played with toys so overall it was a fun experience. Janet D.

55What a great yard for Lilly Rose to run around and explore! Very clean yard. This was Lilly Rose’s first Sniffspot experience. Everything was great, from toys, umbrella and chairs to sit down and relax. Very secure and private. We look forward to our next visit!Victoria Alessandra B.

FAQ about our Accokeek dog fields
Are dog fields safe?
If you are looking for an adventure, but also looking for safety, Sniffspot dog fields are a great option. While public dog parks have a number of safety issues, such as aggressive dogs, distracted dog owners, disease transmission and general cleanliness, Sniffspot dog parks are much safer than public dog parks. With Sniffspot all bookings are private space for just you and doggy friends you bring with you and we require all dogs to be vaccinated (or have equivalent titers). Especially for training, privacy is ideal. Contrary to public dog parks, all Sniffspot locations are vetted and reviewed by guests so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog for off leash exercise or outdoor training. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits are 5 stars, while public dog parks often do not even have verified reviews. All payment is done securely online by credit card in a few simple clicks.
All park rental information is available online. Start by filtering parks by fencing, size and distractions, to find a private spot that works for your dog. If your dog has poor recall, you can visit one of our secure fields. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our dog fields where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can review the details of the listing to make sure it works as your desired activity space, for example, safe dog exercise, dog training, a stress-free adventure with your furry friend or even a puppy event. You can even check the park amenities chart for amenities such as indoor training facilities, agility field, synthetic turf, exercise balls or field parking availability in advance. If inclement weather is an issue or poor field conditions, you can reschedule your visit up to 2 hours in advance.
What are the requirements to bring my dog to a Sniffspot dog field?
We require that all four-legged friends have basic vaccinations or equivalent titers. We do not allow dogs with a bite history. We require that guests sign our waiver and agree to follow our safety rules. Make sure to check host rules before visiting to ensure, for instance, that you are following allowable sports activities rules and any special events rules.
Will there be other dogs at the Sniffspot field at the same time as me?
No. Facility rentals are for private play time and any host dogs are required to be kept away from the area during visits, so this is perfect for a private adventure for you and your doggie friends, and perhaps a human friend. Hosts understand that many guests have dogs in training and are nervous owners. So when you book a Sniffspot dog field you have the entire private spot to yourself. We also enforce 30 min time buffers between time slots so you will not run into other guest dogs or a previous person when coming or leaving in the field parking area. Some hosts may have multiple fields, but there is always a buffer between fields.
How much do Sniffspot fields cost?
Dog fields in the Accokeek area range from $4.0 and $4.0. The least expensive dog field is 3/4 Acre Grassy Dog Run. The most expensive dog field is 3/4 Acre Grassy Dog Run. Each host sets their own price, so you can check the price on the specific Sniffspot dog park listing.
