55We had such a great time here with our two dogs! Directions for parking and accessing the yard were very clear. Big beautiful yard and very secure fencing, with plenty of room for our little ones to run around. The host put treats out for our dogs labeled with their names as well as bottled water for the humans 😊. Highly recommend!Laura W.

55Great place, my dog would personally love a bigger kiddie pool, but loved running around without being approached by unfamiliar dogs. Appreciate the snacks and water for both of us. Emily R.

55JJ’s was great! They had treats for the dogs (and parents) + water, which was very thoughtful. Everything was well cared for and easy to use. Its the perfect size for us! On the “smaller” side (you can supervise your dog without having to leave their nice table and shade) but big enough that my dog was tired in like 20-30min still. So grateful this was our first experience with SniffSpots! Rebeca Sniff R.

55This is our second time visiting, and as usual, it was an enjoyable experience. They leave out fresh water, toys, and treats for both the humans and the canines. The space is secure with plenty of room for zoomies or for sniffing! I love this site's convenient location and the extra touches the hosts employ. Thank you!Meredith N.

55My dog had a fun playdate at JJ Play Yard. The yard is decently sized with tall very secure fence. It is clean, water and some toys are provided, and the owner even left a goody bag for our dogs. I am very happy with my experience at this Sniffspot and I'm sure to book it again for future visits.Anneli F.

FAQ about our Ellicott City fully fenced dog parks
Are fully fenced dog parks safe?
While public dog parks have a number of safety issues, such as aggressive dogs, inattentive owners, disease transmission and general cleanliness, Sniffspot dog parks are much safer than public dog parks. Human and animal safety is our #1 focus. Without a private option, many dog owners are relegated to using athletic fields or tennis courts for their dogs, which are not private or safe. 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. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits are 5 stars. And with fully fenced Sniffspot parks, you can get the safety of a fenced-in space for dogs, while still having plenty of space to run.

How do I know if a fully fenced dog park works for my dog?
Many people looking for fully fenced parks have dogs that are not good with voice control. Start by applying basic filters, such as fences height and distractions, to find a dog park that works for your dog. You can see attributes of fences such as height, gaps and fencing type to find the perfect fenced-in space for dogs. You can filter by size to make sure you have plenty of space, or a smaller space if you prefer a neighborhood park. You can browse on a map by park location to find one in your city or near your city. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our off-leash areas where there are no dogs audible or visible near the space. Make sure to review the amenities of the spot to check features you want for your activity, such as fresh water, trail features such as soft trails or walking trails, or even water fountains.
