55Awesome space! We ran a bit late getting to the spot but even with our short timeline our pup had a blast! Plenty of space to run and lots of good sniffs we’re had. Poop bags were provided and the space was super clean. Would definitely revisit, even if it is a bit out of the way for us. Jamie B.

55Perfect spot for my dog to run around. Good space and even had water and bags available. Only suggestion is to add a trash can to dispose of the doggie bags, otherwise the closest trash can is at the end of the block on So Dakota by the bus stop. Jeff H.

55I love this place! Warren and I will be coming back at least once a week! Beautiful grassy open spot, lots of shade! Great for fetch or even sitting in the sun! I’d bring water and a blanket next time. Monica R.

55I was so happy to treat Parker to 60 minutes off leash so he could play tennis ball fetch with me. This is such a long lot so he found run far. I really appreciated the lawn chair. Thank you!Teresa M.

55Greta spot and bigger than excpected. Lots of grass to sniff and explore. Very clean. Shaded area so was great at 5pm. Zoey found at least 15 balls and Henry ran until he was pooped. Great space!Amanda C.

55We could not love this place more! Our dogs favorite spot in the city. So grateful they open their yard up to allow city dogs a chance to run around. FYI: there is a trash can for your dog’s poop at the end of the block, driving away from the church. Someone left bags near the entrance last time we were here- please be respectful of their yard! They are not obligated to provide a trash can for us.Emma H.

55Much longer than I expected! Great place for my dog to run, really nice spot, super easy to get to
Note there was a dog in the yard next door if that’s not something that would work for your dog. Also one of the plants is currently seeding (fall) so check your dog for clingers after you play!Katherine B.

55Great yard! Was really surprised at just how long it is. The dogs had a great time running after tennis balls! The fence is definitely on the low side if you have an escape artist, but we didn’t have any issues. There were one or two people who walked by the end of the fence, but being in the center of the yard neither dog cared about them. We will be back! Lauren R.

55Incredible space, we'll be back again! Clearly marked, easily accessible, and the perfect runway for fetch or chase. Worth noting there is a small dog on the adjacent property that was running alongside the fence most of the time, not barking but did peak the interest of our dogs. Colleen F.

55Made a last-minute reservation super easy. Walter loved running the length of the park. Only item to note is that the front gate doesn’t fully shut so we had to keep him towards middle or back of park. Great space!Michael B.

55Sandra's yard is pretty perfect! Our greyhound had the space to really run in this long, fully-fenced yard, which is hard to find in DC. Sandra was also very kind and gracious when I made a sniffspot error, as this was my first time using the site. 10/10, would highly recommend!Michelle L.

55Really fantastic lot with easy access and parking. I love everything about it BUT there are one or two spots along the bottom of the fence that a small escape artist could take advantage of. So if your pup tends to try to get out of fenced areas watch out for that. Julia M.

55Parking was easy and the fence was secure! My dog did react a little to seeing the neighbor’s small dog on the other side of the fence. There were also a lot of kids outside next door at the church Cici C.

FAQ about our Washington 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.
