Pups had the best time, they were the nicest people and so accommodating to the dogs reactivity, cannot recommend them enough!!!

We usually come in the afternoons (and have always loved it) but to beat the heat of the summer we came early in the morning this time. It was very peaceful and relaxing. The dogs enjoyed themselves and sniffed, chased, rolled. Great time for our little chihuahuas

This was my first experience with Sniffspot. What a great experience. Mili’s location was exactly as described. I was worried it may be muddy due to the rain we recently had. But the yard is sloped and mud was not a problem at all. The dogs really loved the large grassy yard and had a great time. Thanks for being such a great host.

This was such a great sniffspot and Mili is such a lovely host. She went above and beyond to reach out before we arrived to send instructions and had a water bowl all prepped for their arrival. Thank you again Mili for allowing us to use your yard.

Lots of space to run around, play ball, and sniff! Really appreciated the water bowl- we forgot ours at home. We’ll definitely book another day soon! :)

Space is as-described, and there were lots of interesting smells for Kona. He spooked a deer from the woods next door and wished there had not been a fence holding him back. (I was grateful there was!) 😊 Thanks for a fun morning.

It was a pleasure to communicate with Mili - she was very understanding about my concerns. Her property was big enough for my bully breed to run around and get tired. Thank you Mili

This was a great spot. Both my girls loved running around. It has a good amount of shaded areas which makes this a good spot even on really sunny days. We will be coming back!

Our dog had a fantastic time here! So many great places to sniff and lots of sticks for him to chase after. The spot was clean and our host was very friendly. The gradual slope of the yard was great for tiring our pup out by the end of the hour. We will definitely be back!

What an awesome time Zoe had! She ran, jumped, twirled & sniffed the entire hour. The high fence kept her safe inside the yard. If there was a way to get out she would have figured it out. The slopes in the yard and numerous other exciting things to explore really kept her busy. The size was perfect & kept Zoe totally entertained. It warmed my heart to see her in her element! Have already booked another hour for tomorrow!!

Love this beautiful Sniffspot! The dogs really enjoy it. There’s a lot for dogs to explore. Clean and spacious. I can be a helicopter mom but definitely feel relaxed here.

Yard was clean and secure and my pups enjoyed their playtime. The wooded area at the bottom of the yard was a nice feature. It was a beautiful morning and there was a gorgeous red fox in the field below. Host provided clean water and clear instructions about parking, entering and clean up.

Amara F.

Very clean with lots of space for pups to play. Host also provides water which is great! Will be visiting again.

This Sniffspot is always a great time for my pup. She loves chasing balls down the hill and bringing them back up. It’s fully fenced and always clean.

Brooke M.

March 2023

Lovely spot! Clean, quiet, peaceful, very secure, with LOTS of interesting terrain for my girl to explore and sniff. We played a lot of fetch and since the yard is on a hill (not too steep!), my young pittie was tuckered out from running uphill 100 times! We had an excellent visit.

Laura O.

March 2023

What a wonderful park-like setting to enjoy some quality outdoor time with my pup. She enjoyed running and sniffing and is one tired girl. All the nature sounds were especially relaxing for me. We will definitely make this a regular thing!

Katherine L.

May 2023

Beautiful, easy to fun, well maintained. A little hilly so be mindful of dogs who love to run fast.

Dinara K.

May 2023

The cleanest spot I’ve been to so far. Oliver absolutely loved running around, sniffing and fetching his ball. The host kindly leaves out water in a clean bowl and even has a lid, so stuff doesn’t fall in. I’ve seen no left over poop. Will be coming back for sure :) Thank you!

Lisa K.

December 2021

This was the perfect spot my pup! He is a jumper so the tall fences were just what I needed, and there was plenty of things to sniff in the yard including trees, bushes, etc. The host was great and brought out water for my pup since I forgot some, and she was lovely to chat with as well! Worth noting that overall the property has a beautiful landscape for myself to enjoy. Will definitely be coming back!

FAQ about our Gaithersburg 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.
