Easy access and a great space for our pup! She loved romping around and great that there was space to throw the ball. Thank you!

Super easy to find- a great spot in the neighborhood for two pups to meet! My dog had so much fun he continues to pull me there every day! Tons of toys provided to play with, and fresh water was waiting in the bowl for us! A cute area to sit for the pawrents, will absolutely return.

Not just a backyard, it’s a destination! Nice sitting area, toys, water etc. I love this place. Large enough for dog training or just play. Thank you host for providing us with such a great spot!

This place was a great spot to take the pup for an hour for some play time! Instructions are easy to follow and a nice set up!

The backyard was awesome and my dog loved it! There was water available and poop bags (which was great because I forgot to bring one). We will definitely be back! Hopefully we can have a playdate next time.

Great, clean, fenced-in space for a pupper to run. Added amentities such as toys, water bowl, and trash bin make this a top spot!

We love this yard for play dates! Super dog friendly yard with water bowls, soft turf to run and tumble on mud free, and a very secure tall fence. Highly recommend!

We love this yard! Our dog always has a great time. The turf is so nice to avoid mud after wet weather. We’ll be back!

Great yard! Loved the turf. My pup is very social with people and dogs and was really fascinated by going inside, he may have heard the people/dogs in the house 😊 Just a heads up if you have a pup with fomo.

Beautiful yard, immaculately clean, our pups had such fun running and sun bathing. We’ll definitely be back. Super secure fencing and latch. Thank you for sharing it with us!!

This is the best spot in the DC area for spring! My dog loved running around without any mud, and then sunbathing. :)

It was a fantastic spot! The turf was awesome and my pup really enjoyed it. There was just enough space to play fetch and work on our agility practice.

Christian T.

A great, tidy, secure spot for our big guy to sniff around! We were very happy to avoid mud and let him stretch his legs a bit! Nice to have access to some extra toys, water and a place to dispose of waste!

Richard C.

March 2021

Great place to bring my pup! Hes a pretty curious dog so he did wander to other areas rather than play but if your pups likes open space and want to give him some exercise, this is the place! Easy to get to and entrance is labeled so there is no confusion. Thanks!!

Kelli H.

This is my first time using sniff spot. I drove from DC because of the turf yard. The directions are clear and easy to follow. The owner came out and turned on lights because it got dark so quickly. She was SO incredibly kind!!! The yard is spacious, clean and worth the drive for us! I have a lab and boxer (so much energy) they both laid on the ground tired before our hour was even up. It was amazing and I’m so thankful for this spot. We will be back!!! You’re great!

This yard was great for a playdate withy active pup and his friend. They ran in circles! The turf was nice and clean! Easy to find the gate and directions were perfect. 10/10 - highly recommended.

fence was secure. as the host mentioned, theres a trail behind the house where people walk their dogs but it did not seem to bother even my dog-reactive pup!

Brittany C.

Great place to have a doggie play date. Turf is a plus and big space for little speed demons. There is even a doggie water bowl setup.
