55This spot truely is a haven, and a favorite for our two big dogs. It's got tons of fenced in space for the dogs to run, and right next to a little creek which is great for cooling of after some serious playing!
45Very nice location.
45Nice spot, loved the shaded areas and lots for our dogs to sniff. Unfortunately there is quite a bit of dog waste to avoid and we were somewhat concerned about our dogs being able to access the deck.
15It’s understandable that one might find some dog waste at a Sniff Spot. But the amount of dog waste all over this yard made for an unpleasant and unsafe experience. We left early.
55It was seriously the best place for my dogs to explore on a hot summer day. We’ll be back!
55Great spot! The wooded area and stream is awesome. I was able to let my dog off leash and she had a blast!
45This was a nice spot and my dog enjoyed herself! I felt a little concerned about my dog being able to run onto the owner's deck and inside the storage area under the house, but otherwise it was safe and secure. Thanks for having us.
55Relaxing and fun! My dog was ecstatic to discover the small creek within the first 5 or so minutes of exploring the grounds. She has exceptional ability to gravitate to any source of water lol. Majority of our time was spent outside of the yard and it was so good for us to peacefully meander through open space and on trail in the woods. Spent very little time in the yard, which would have been very fun too. Have to say, from my out of shape perspective, that is quite a hill in the yard! Would have liked to do more fetch the ball up the hill to work my dog's back legs, as it is perfect incline. Do hope to return, especially when it is warmer for more water play.
55Great location! Definitely hilly but large yard great for fetch! The dogs could almost play fetch by themselves by letting the ball role down the hill and going to retrieve it.
45The pups really enjoyed the yard. They ran around quite a bit and sniffed a ton. There was just A LOT of dog waste. We lost count of how many we stepped in.

Mount Airy, Maryland

Description

The fenced yard is u-shaped and is a grassy hill, with flat spots on the top and bottom, just about an acre at this point. Our entire yard is about 3.5 acres and may be used, details under this. Great terrain to help your dog build some muscle or play fetch on for high energy dogs. Nice tree cover in the summer, and I’ll put out a couple chair swings under our shade tree - or bring a hammock, we have a couple trees perfect for it! We have an almost constant breeze that keeps the bugs away and the temperature comfortable. Wi-fi is available in most of the yard if you need it and there is electrical on the porch. We also have a small creek, flat grassy area and wooded area outside of the fence that you can use. The creek is spring fed and clean and the woods are on a hill. Great fun to walk around in. Please only use this if your dog is on a leash or 100% recall. We do have deer and other wildlife that visit. I’ll have a few long lines if you would like to use them. Hose for rinsing off or filling the play pool provided. Water for dogs and poop bags and trash can will be by the porch. We treat the fenced yard a couple times a year for fleas/ticks/bugs. And will be expanding the fencing this fall to include another 1/2 acre or more and by spring hope to have the entire 3.5 acres fenced.

Cleanliness

82% of guests said this spot was as clean as expected during their visit.

Hazards

Not many, sometimes we see turtles in the yard but we have never seen any venomous snakes or other hazards. We keep the yard cleared of anything that might be injested or stepped on and holes are filled in.

Hi, we love adventure and the outdoors and are always looking forward to the winter! We’ve had Malamutes for almost 10 years now and love every single fur-ridden part of it. We enjoy kayaking, SUP, sledding, bikejor, canicross, fast cat, obedience, rally, agility, hikes, swimming, camping... I think that’s everything our dogs do with us? And visiting stores, Home Depot and tractor supply know most of our dogs names. I hope you enjoy our backyard and check-in often as we expand the fence and clear the pond so it can be a nice swimming area. If you have any questions, please ask!

8 acre property to enjoy

8ac farmhouse property with plenty of options for your dogs to roam around and play. There's grassy areas and gravel spots to pick from. Very private, quiet, and tucked away in the back away from the main road. We don't have any pets, so yours will be the only ones on the property, and we're rarely home. Feel free to use the triple fenced garden area before we start growing anything. There is new home construction up at the top of the hill they have their own short black fencing around the homes, so just stay beyond the fence. Water pump and doggie bowls available outside near the front right side of the home in front of the outhouse. Trashcans are available at the side of the house across from the shed. There's a basketball hoop and 🏀 if interested in playing as well as some swings for kids closer to the house. Feel free to use it. Lastly, please use Google Maps for navigation instead of Waze as it's the most updated one for finding the property. PS- if you're ever running late or got lost and some of your paid time is used please feel free to stay a little longer to make up for it if no one else is booked immediately after you.
