55This is a great backyard! The fence is secure and high all the way around which gave me peace of mind to relax and let the dogs run free. The setting felt private and there was plenty of comfortable seating. The dog playground was cute and there were bowls for water and toys/balls to throw. We will definitely return! Thank you for sharing your yard with us!!Sharon P.

55We loved this place! It was HUGE and our dogs loved running around. It was incredibly clean, easy to get to, and they even offered poop bags and clean water bowls (so your dogs aren’t drinking out of community bowls! Love that!). I wish we lived closer, we would use this spot regularly. Allie L.

55Beautiful yard—thick grass, so clean, so much room to run, & a cute colorful play area for the pups! We brought a snack and ate at the picnic table while our two dogs ran and sniffed all around. We will definitely be back! 🐾❤️Jennifer A.

55The most PERFECT private, spacious, fenced, safe space for you and your pup!
I recently took in a pitty foster, and while she is very well-behaved and friendly, I haven't personally socialized her yet so I'm hesitant to take her to a dog park. My yard isn't fenced, and this dog has ENERGY to burn 😅Melissa's backyard is expansive, quiet, beautifully maintained, and stocked with everything you need to wear out an energetic dog. I will definitely be back!Lauren P.

55Walter loves this place! We enjoyed our second visit so much. Lots of time and space for playing, training, and just enjoying the outdoors. Danielle’s spot is super clean and even though my lab isn’t super interested in playing on the agility equipment, he’s loving the space to sniff and explore! We will continue to return! Rachel B.

55We needed to run and catch some balls and this is the perfect spot. Unfortunately we lost a Fi collar in the yard (Fi wasn’t telling me on the app where it was). Danielle sent me a message to see if it was mine thankfully! It shows not only is she kind to ask, but also very observant of her sniff spot. Suzanne H.

55Fantastic visit. Spot is set up very well. My whippets are escape artists and I felt very comfortable letting them run here. The fence is high and there were no spaces to go under or between posts. We will be back. Melanie M.

55Absolutely amazing spot in Eldersburg! We took all 6 dogs, from 8 pounds to 40, and they all had a great time! Lots of shady spots and lots of sunny spots. Never felt worried about a dog getting out of the fence and never heard any other dogs or people. Will be back! Erin K.

FAQ about our Sykesville small dog parks
Are small dog parks safe?
While public dog parks have a number of safety issues, such as aggressive dogs, disease transmission and general cleanliness, Sniffspot dog parks are much safer than public dog parks. With Sniffspot all bookings are private for just you and dogs you bring with you and we require all dogs to be vaccinated (or have equivalent titers). All Sniffspot locations are vetted and reviewed by park users so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits are 5 stars.
How can I find small dog parks in Sykesville?
There are 210 small dog parks in the Sykesville area. The most popular small dog park is . You can browse all of our small dog parks here.
How do I know if a small dog park works for my dog?
Start by applying basic filters, such as fencing and distractions, to find a dog park that works for your furry friends. If your dog doesn't respond to owner commands, you can visit one of our enclosed dog park areas. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our small dog park sites where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can see any park amenities provided, including a park bench, water for dogs or water features such as kiddie pool or water hose. If your dog loves water, you can go to a park with water features, but if they don't love water, you can avoid them. We also recommend reading reviews to check for park maintenance issues and reaching out to the host with any questions. And lastly, of course, check park hours. Many of our parks are open from dawn until dusk.
What are the requirements to bring my dog to a Sniffspot park?
We require that all dogs have basic vaccinations or equivalent titers. We do not allow dogs with a bite history. We require that owners sign our waiver and agree to follow our safety rules. We also require that pet owners follow safety protocols around water features.
Will there be other dogs at the Sniffspot park at the same time as me?
Sniffspot only allows one booking at a time and any host dogs are required to be kept away from the spot during visits. We also enforce 30 min time buffers between bookings.
If you are planning an amazing small dog park party, each Sniffspot park has their own rules regarding special events. Many parks allow doggie birthday parties, training, water parties and other event types. Event organizers need to be responsible for their guests and event organizers should coordinate with the host regarding their fun party. Make sure the park has amenities you need for your party, such as a park with lots of picnic tables with park benches.
