55I was very happy to see The Private Dog Park is a very clean area! My dog had an awesome time there. We will be visiting there again!
55Another fun visit!
55The yard was big enough for Reese to run around and get a little exercise. The gate was secure and the yard was well maintained. Although it was raining, she still had fun! Thank you for sharing your space!!
55Always a great time! Marshal knows the route and he gets so excited when we are close. The lawn is well-maintained, grass is the perfect height, the yard is always clean. My dog can run freely, play, and is always full of smiles.
55Quiet small space perfect for dogs you want to keep an eye on. There were some interruptions (at no fault to owner), so my dog was a bit nervous in the beginning.
55Our dog had a very nice time. We will visit again!
55We love coming to sniff, run, and zoom!
55What a wonderful backyard for our dogs to play in! Shade and sun, fresh water, treats, and poop baggy disposal. 10/10 recommend!
55Such a well maintained yard! We definitely took advantage of the water provided and treats that were left by the host. We took our own ball, but there were plenty of balls around to play with. We will be back!
55Very nice yard with plenty of shade, will definitely be back!

Fellow dog-lover! We lived in the borough for years without a fenced-in yard and never had success finding a good dog park nearby. Now that my pups finally have a fenced in yard, they don’t mind sharing it with yours!

🚗 LOCATED IN SYKESVILLE, MD (Carroll County) 🚨Updates🚨 💩 We’ve noticed an increase in the amount of guests not picking up their dog’s poop. As a reminder, we require all guests to clean up before they leave. If you don’t want to clean up, we offer an extra called “Poop Patrol”, you can add this on to your visit and we will clean up for you. If we continue to have issues with poop not getting cleaned up, we will need to increase the price of our spot to compensate us for the additional time we have to spend cleaning up between visits. We don’t want to have to do this, so please be respectful and clean up the 💩 📍I believe the neighbors behind us got a new dog and they like to bark. Our fences do not touch, there is probably 10 feet of distance between our fences so there is no worries about fighting through the fence, but you may hear barking sometimes. They will eventually bring the dog in when the barking becomes too much 📍We laid some hay in and around the play area to help with the mud and protect the grass. 📍 We replaced the blue picnic table that was under the canopy with a couch and chair. We still have the pink picnic table with the umbrella. 🐕🦮🐕‍🦺 Bring 3 or more dogs? Message us for a discount prior to booking (let us know how many dogs in your message). ** The pool is not available to guests at this time. ** 🎉 Events / parties welcome 🎉 Large open, fenced-in backyard in a quiet neighborhood. There is lots of space for your dog(s) to run, and ample room to play fetch. There is plenty of outdoor seating to relax while you watch your dog(s) play and explore. The back right corner of the yard has a play area with a playhouse, caterpillar tunnel, tire tunnel, climbing cube, climbing dome, car bed, the biggest tire you’ve ever seen, and hammock. We also have a bunch of dog toys, including several herding balls of various sizes. Part of our yard is shady and part is sunny. You get the best of both worlds. The pool is completely fenced off from the rest off the yard. You don’t have to worry about your dog(s) accidentally falling in. Our yard is handicap accessible. There are no stairs to climb. The entrance to the backyard is a flat grassy area. The gate leading to the back yard is wide enough for a wheelchair or power chair. The yard has a slight incline, but there are no major obstacles that would prevent a wheelchair from moving around. We are located in Sykesville, MD which is about 30 mins from Baltimore and Columbia. 15 minutes from Owings Mills, Ellicott City, and Westminster.
