55The yard was spacious and great for fetch. Because my dog has some anxiety issues though, she was a startled by the noises of the busy street paralleling the fence. Other than that it’s a great place to bring your pup! Demi M.

55My pup always loves coming! The canopy and outdoor furniture are fabulous! We come often and one thing to note is bring water. Thanks Maria for having us! Ellyn S.

55Lovely, ample space. Fence is high and sturdy. Lots of little flying bugs this time of year but the host provides bug spray. The canopy is a very nice touch. We were unable to open the side gate because the thread mechanism was not in place but there is another larger gate on the other side. Janine C.

55We had a great time, and my two dogs ran around playing for the whole hour. I am grateful that this SniffSpot is clean - I did not step on or see any piles of dog poop. When I am running around with my dogs, it is good that the SniffSpot is clean. This SniffSpot is, for me, a large enough space. I throw the ball, frisbee, or stick as far as I can, and the dogs sprint and retrieve. Overall, a good morning, and I am so glad and thankful for SniffSpot and SniffSpot hosts - both my dogs and I say a big THANK YOU!Rebecca R.

55Great open space with a secure fence! A little slippery and buggy since it had just rained, but the owner kindly left out bug spray. The space was clean and our dog had a great time! Naomi L.

55My 3 year old Pickles LOVED this Sniffspot!! The host was amazing and provided an assortment of balls, doggy bags, and bug spray! We rented this spot for an hour and half. This was Pickles’ first time off the leash since rescuing her a year ago, due to her reactivity. She spent an hour and a half sniffing every inch of this spot, as well as running and playing! The spot is a great size - much bigger than expected! The fence was high and sturdy, keeping my sweet girl safe at all times! The door was left open upon arrival for easy access. This was our first experience with SniffSpot, and we will absolutely be repeat customers!!! Very grateful for this opportunity and experience! 💓🐶 I do not have any recommendations as I feel as though the host went above and beyond for this spot! Catie C.

55This wasn’t the first time I’ve been to this Sniffspot and certainly won’t be the last! Not not only does the space include a privacy fence and seclusion from the actual home, but there’s accommodations for parking and for the dog owners.  If you’re in the Rockville or Potomac area, I highly suggest you give them a visit.Haley B.

55My dog had a great time! Great that this spot has a canopy with shade and the yard is huge. I like that it isn’t attached to a house, however if your dog is very sensitive to car noises, the fenced in area is right next to a busy road. The space wasn’t muddy at all and doggie bags were available. Deirdre B.

55HIGHLY recommend! We had such a great time! The yard is a great size, super clean, and has private entrance across from house. Appreciated all the extra effort put into it as well. Poop bags and toys are provided with several trash cans placed inside and outside the yard. We really loved the patio table and chairs set up under the tent canopy too. Was a great place to hang out as our dog sniffed around the yard. Will definitely be visiting again! Bess H.

55Maria’s spot was clean and exactly as described. We appreciated the coveted area for humans, and extra bags & trash cans. I had read other reviews ahead of time, so I brought my own water and bowl for the pup! Cheryl C.

55It was my first time here and had difficulties in finding the place. So I reached out to Maria and she helped me reach the destination. She was very gracious and I’m very appreciative. The yard is a good size with not too many distractions which is perfect for my reactive dog who enjoys long uninterrupted runs.
Thank you Maria for your hospitality and help.Cristina S.

FAQ about our Annandale 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.
