55We really enjoyed the Paw Day Paw Play. Woof Woof Be On Your Way! sniffspot! Although the hosts were out of town, they still graciously allowed us to visit! There wasn't a sniffspot sign in the front yard and no instructions posted anywhere on the fence, but I'm not sure if this is the norm or not, I've only visited one other sniffspot. Even though their advertised amenities weren't available, (as they were out of town), our pups had a great time! The yard is perfect for exploring and running! Our reserved time was 8:30p-9:30p, and it was dark outside. The dogs didn't seem to mind, but I would have preferred there to be at least a little light on the patio. They did have motion sensored flood lights, but they kept going off and on. As we usually prefer to use sniffspots in the early evenings after work, having a little light on the subject would be much appreciated!! We watch our Grandpup alternating Sundays, and if there was more light on the yard, we'd love to make a stop at "Paw Day Paw Play. Woof Woof Be On Your Way!" a routine stop on our way to bringing her home on Sunday nights! Corie L.

55Pixie had so much fun! There was so much for her to sniff and explore, and she had plenty of room to run (and somersault 🤣)! The bowl of water was greatly appreciated, too, and overall, this was a fantastic experience.Kellie A.

55We always enjoy coming to this spot. Lots of room to play and areas of the yard to sniff. After running around, we enjoy sitting and listening to the cicadas or geese or whatever nature has in store that day. Mili leaves chairs for us and water for the pup out each time, and is very responsive.Kellyn M.

55This is an amazing spot. My dog had a great time exploring, running and playing here. The yard is tidy, while still having areas to explore.
Beware that during gnat season, there are lots here (not the hosts fault of course, just don't forget your bug spray!)Maria T.

55Mili’s yard is awesome and Nuno enjoyed every minute there! Plenty of space for your dog to run and trees provide enough shade on hot/humid days. This feels like a small forest in a very quiet neighborhood. Mili was great and very welcoming. Nuno will be back again and highly recommend it for anyone thinking of booking (go ahead and do it ;) Thanks Mili and see you again soon! Arber K.

55The yard was plenty big enough for the dogs to run around. It was completely fenced in. There were toys and water for the dogs. Milli, her husband, and her precious dog, Bailey, made us feel welcome. My dogs had a blast! We will definitely come back soon. It’s indeed our dogs favorite place 🤩🤩. Erika B.

55This is a fabulous place to take your pup, especially if you live in the city of Gaithersburg. It’s located in a very quiet
neighborhood. The only visible animals we’ve ever seen were sheep and deer! You can hear other dogs barking, but none are visible from this spot.
The area is nice and clean and the host
Is phenomenal! Now that our schedules are lightening up a bit, we will be back more often. You would never know you were in the city at this place.💕💕🐾🐾Dawn D.

55We were so happy to find this large fenced in backyard full of trees and bushes. My pointer mix loved the bushes - she checked all of them out for birds repeatedly. She didn’t pay any attention to the gentle quiet sheep in a nearby field. Mili was not at home but considerately texted me to bring our own water, otherwise she would’ve provided it. The yard gave my girl a lot of room to run at full speed for the hour! This has to be therapeutic for both of us!Jane A.

55Our dogs had the time of their lives here! They instantly took to the yard, checking out all the smells and doing zoomies through the leaf piles and zipping around the bushes. It felt like being in my own backyard. We were able to use the chuck it to throw the ball far distances and uphill for our athletic lab. We were so delighted to meet Mili, the host, and socialize with her and her cute, cuddly dog Bailey. There was fresh water out for the dogs and chairs for us to sit in. This spot is a dream come true for us townhouse dwellers. We’ll be back regularly! 5-stars plus! Amanda G.

55What a great space! It was perfect for our two very energetic doodle pups, Sophie (2 years old) and Bella (7 months old). Lots of sniffing and running space. It was clean and very secure.
Easy to access the space and private parking space. We loved that we can just spend the time watching our pups have a ton of sun in our privacy. Instructions were easy to follow and very clear. We will be going back. Very highly recommended.John M.

FAQ about our Derwood 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?
While public dog parks have a number of safety issues, such as aggressive dogs, disease transmission and general cleanliness, Sniffspot dog parks 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 guests so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog. 96% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Derwood area are 5 stars.
How do I know if a dog park works for my dog?
You can filter Sniffspot dog parks by fencing and distractions. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our 309 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 60 off leash areas where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can also filter locations to avoid other domestic animals and people. We also recommend reading reviews and reaching out to the host with any questions.
