55If I could give this spot 12/10 I would. Rick was super nice and did reach out morning of to let me know that there was maintenance being done on the pond in case I wanted to reschedule. I went anyway and I’m glad I did. This was my first ever time using the app and now I’m afraid no other place will compare lol. He had a bin of toys, towels, map of her property, treats, bug spray, etc. His property not only has the pond but also creeks that run throughout, and my swamp dogs loved that. Right where you park is also a hose to spray them down after their adventures. I went from living on 5 acres in Colorado to moving to Maryland in a tiny apartment. This for sure makes up for the lack of space for my dogs. Ginger O.

55We missed Piece of Quiet!
We still love this place. Thank you for sharing it with those of us who live nowhere near peace and quiet (with a pond). The tired dogs would thank you, too, if they weren't napping. Ketti S.

55Rick is always incredibly accommodating. Everything you need is provided (towels, bug spray, bowels, toys,ect…). The property is well maintained and has lots of space for your pup to run free. We will be regulars for the foreseeable future! Your pup will need a bath after but so worth it! April V.

55What a slice of paradise! Murphy had the beat time swimming, sniffing, and exploring. He even had some around the pond zoomies! Thank you so much for offering your space up so that on leash pups like Murph can experience a little freedom to run and roam.Sara M.

55Rick’s place is absolutely beautiful! Just like another comment said, it’s dog heaven! I had no fear letting my dog off leash to run around and swim. He’s always afraid to jump in the water but loved that he could enter and exit the pond anywhere he wanted! We had a great time and would definitely love to come back! Nikki S.

55Rick met us at the beginning of our visit and showed us where everything was located. He included a map of the property and the amenities he provided were super helpful. Rick has thought of everything to make it an amazing visit for both dogs and humans. Our dogs had an amazing time swimming, playing fetch and sniffing. One hour was definitely not enough time and we can’t wait to go back so we can explore more of this amazing property! Thank you for sharing your beautiful property with the dog community! Kristy H.

55The location was great! My dog absolutely loved the lake. Rick greeted us, provided bug spray and even has toys. There is a covered section by the dock to sit and relax while your dogs play in the water. Definitely recommend!Abby C.

FAQ about our Boyce 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.
