55Our doggies absolutely loved having the space to themselves. Space is as advertised. Well fenced w/no gaps, major plus. Lots of grass. Shade, yes! Amenities for adults and doggies for an enjoyable Sniffspot experience. JJ’s Play Yard is very near to me, another plus. Vinny, our Maltipoo, is skiittish and being able to play with her brother and sister, with no distractions from other dogs/people made the visit great for me and my furbabies. JJ’s will be our go to time for future outings. Plenty of dog toys, water & other amenities provided for both human and doggies. Joy H.

55We had such a great time here with our two dogs! Directions for parking and accessing the yard were very clear. Big beautiful yard and very secure fencing, with plenty of room for our little ones to run around. The host put treats out for our dogs labeled with their names as well as bottled water for the humans 😊. Highly recommend!Laura W.

55JJ’s was great! They had treats for the dogs (and parents) + water, which was very thoughtful. Everything was well cared for and easy to use. Its the perfect size for us! On the “smaller” side (you can supervise your dog without having to leave their nice table and shade) but big enough that my dog was tired in like 20-30min still. So grateful this was our first experience with SniffSpots! Rebeca Sniff R.

55This is our second time visiting, and as usual, it was an enjoyable experience. They leave out fresh water, toys, and treats for both the humans and the canines. The space is secure with plenty of room for zoomies or for sniffing! I love this site's convenient location and the extra touches the hosts employ. Thank you!Meredith N.

55My dog had a fun playdate at JJ Play Yard. The yard is decently sized with tall very secure fence. It is clean, water and some toys are provided, and the owner even left a goody bag for our dogs. I am very happy with my experience at this Sniffspot and I'm sure to book it again for future visits.Anneli F.

FAQ about our Ellicott City fully fenced dog parks

With Sniffspot all bookings are private for just you and dogs you bring with you and we require all dogs to be vaccinated (or have equivalent titers). All Sniffspot locations are vetted and reviewed by guests so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits are 5 stars. And with fully fenced Sniffspot parks, you can get the safety of a fenced-in space for dogs, while still having plenty of space to run.
