55We had a great experience! Our dog had so much fun running and playing in the yard. She’s fearful of dog parks, so it was a real treat to see her zooming around and being carefree. The neighborhood is quiet, and we accessed the yard via a side gate. There was a small gap in the fence opposite the house, but I think only a small dog could squeeze through if they were really trying. We weren’t worried about our 45-pound pup getting out, and the fencing was very secure overall. Our girl was totally tuckered out after 40 minutes and had been napping since we got home. We would definitely visit again!Emily C.

55Perfect size yard with plenty of bushes and corners for my hound to sniff out! Appreciated the dog bowl and garden hose.

55The yard is spacious, with lots of room to run around. The fence was tall and my very energetic dog had a blast zooming in the grass. By the end of the hour, he was exhausted and happy. We entered through the gate in the fence. Overall, a very easy and fun trip. I will definitely be going back. Amelia B.

55Great yard. Flat, shady and the fence is solid enough that my dog wasn't terribly interested in the neighbors who happened to be out enjoying the gorgeous day as well. Katrina M.

55My first Sniffspot experience, and it was perfect. The quiet, shady, fully fenced backyard as perfect for my reactive girl Luna. She had so much fun playing fetch with the tennis balls. The water bowl and hose were much appreciated, too. Humans: don’t forget your bug spray in the summer months! Anna H.

55My 4 year old rescue who tolerates other dogs but is overwhelmed at the dog park really enjoyed having a fully fenced backyard to romp and roll around in. There was a water bowl set out even though we brought our own which I thought was super thoughtful & nice. We didn’t see or hear any other dogs while there. My dog was exhausted for the rest of the day! Remember to bring your bug spray! Allyson M.

55The fence is very secure, and the yard is clean. There was a small patch of ram/beige crumbly things by the entrance that my puppy kept eating. Not sure what that was. Otherwise, I think they would have had more fun if it wasn’t so hot (obviously, that can’t be controlled by the host) Young S.

55The dogs had a grand time sniffing all over the property. They didn't get in the pool, but the people cooled off in it and enjoyed it a lot. The property is very nice, the fence is big and secure (the gate is a little balky but just persist), and there is nice shade, good seating, and balls for the dogs to play with.Karin C.

FAQ about our Potomac 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.

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.
