55We took our 2 year old Boston Terrier for the first time today and it was a great experience. The property was clean, with lots of running space and toys to keep him busy. My dog got the much needed exercise time that he needed. We will definitely return!Jen H.

55Always super clean, water and clean bowls available, and overall a wonderful place to bring the dogs! For anyone needing to get their dogs outside this winter in the dark (especially after work with high energy breeds), this is a WONDERFUL sniff spot to do so! There are plenty of lights that light up pretty much everything, super safe and very quiet in the neighborhood. This will always be one of our favorite sniff spots! Erin K.

55Great spot to take the pups! They all had a blast romping in the yard. There were tons of obstacle like toys that were great to sniff and check out! They also had Jolly balls which I've always wanted to try and my one girl had a blast playing with it! I also have an escape artist and though she tried to find a hole in the fence, it is very well protected and she couldn't find a spot to escape!Victoria S.

55Always an absolutely great time at this sniff spot. With the seasons changing and much less light in the evenings this sniff spot is going to be our go to!! Extremely well lit, and Danielle had even reached out to me asking about the lighting and if I had any suggestions. I mentioned the area with the big tire wasn’t lit up, and my dogs really enjoy it but after the sun goes down it’s too dark to encourage them to go over there, by the next time we were there she had two lights up in that corner!! Couldn’t be happier with this sniff spot. They take amazing care of their lawn, and you’d never believe they hosted it as a sniff spot with how well kept they keep everything. We have never seen any dog poop, and having bowls and fresh water is great for us, because my dogs go through more water than I can carry with me when I come! I even increased my sniff spot subscription level because I know we will be using it for this spot!! Erin K.

55This place is AMAZING and worth every minute of my hour drive !!! I have a escape artist whose first thing he does is to look for ways to escape after about 10 - 15 min he accepted the fact that he could not find a way out he proceeded to enjoy this beautiful yard with all of the toys. My girl absolutely loved the big round jolly ball and played with it the entire time. It was a beautiful day. The yard was clean. There was plenty of water . I’m definitely gonna have to book more than an hour. We love it so much thinking about coming back tomorrow.Ramona c.

55Plenty of water and space for the doggo to run and play. Lot of balls which he loves. Comfortable seating for humans. No interruptions. Couldn’t hear her dogs if they were home. Very inviting and easy to get in and out. Would love to rent with another dog to have a play date. Trying to socialize our reactive pit is not a task for the weakTori C.

55Danielle is such an amazing host! I had accidentally dropped a very small and thin leash, and didn’t even realize I dropped it and left it in her yard. She messaged me and asked if it was mine, and made sure to give it back to me the next time I was there. This will be our go to all fall, winter and spring (as weather allows) for evening fun and training. Erin K.

55Their fenced in yard was in great condition and the gate was secure. Plenty of clean bowls and water, lots of balls and toys, as well as little tunnels, and I suppose the tires were for practicing their agility. Our dog played the whole time. We will return to the little monster property again.ruthann k.

55We had such a fun time playing here. There’s a bin full of tennis balls and another one filled with toys. The land is so flat and great for fetch. They provide water dishes and a full cooler so your pup is never thirsty. My girl had a blast at this spot!Erica L.

FAQ about our Sykesville 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.
Are dog parks safe?
