55Great time & 1st time this a.m. at Marc's sniffspot. A friend & her 10 yr old dog joined Zoe & I. As usual Zoe had a blast & was able to get rid of lots of pent up energy. Adequate space to run & sniff. Marc's dog & several others he's boarding joined in on the fun which was hilarious to watch! First time Zoe was off leash with other dogs since I adopted her & all went extremely well. She left there more exhausted than I've seen her thus far which was a HUGE blessing! No shortage of toys to throw, chew & chase. Marc was a delight & wonderfully laid back given the mayhem going on. Will definitely return in the hopes of having Zoe play & run with her new found friends!Allyson F.

55Another fantastic time spent in Marc's yard w/ 2 other energetic pups! It's visits like this that benefit Zoe tremendously physically, mentally & emotionally. It's quite amazing to watch them run circles around each other. Once again Zoe was in her element!! Don't know what I'd do without "sniffspot." And Marc was a real pleasure! Without a doubt will return!Allyson F.

55My dog Korra and I had such a wonderful time at this Sniff Spot! There was lots of open space for her to run around and get her energy out, plenty of landscaping to sniff, and water, toys, and shade provided. We will definitely be back soon! Thank you!Jordan K.

55This was our first time doing using Sniffspot and we couldn’t be happier. Our one dog sniffed every corner and our other played with the toys provided. Host was very nice. Kelsey G.

55We just adopted a dog and was told that he was reactive to other dogs, but Marc let our dog meet his and we found out that he was totally ok with other dogs. We are really grateful. Thank you!!Yumiko O.

55This is a really nice level grassy yard. It’s quiet, and furnished with lots of dog toys. Scout had a great time and was able to get the exercise he needs. We’ll definitely be back.Kim F.

55Awesome place, lots for dogs to play with (toys), sniff around and also run around! Our dog “Bubblegum” ❤️’ed this spot! Took her a while to start playing because their was SO MUCH to sniff for! But eventually she opened up and ran her Heart out! Lol 😂 We even met the owner and his dogs! Who was very friendly, especially his dogs! We did a meet & greet with our dog to his but unfortunately “Bubblegum” was NOT having good manners! But that’s ok, she still LOVED it and so did we! 🙏🏻💙Veronika L.

55Nicely sized yard with plenty of toys and water! You can see into the neighbors’ yards, but there weren’t any pet outside while we were there. Parking and access to the yard were simple and easy! Mike S.

55We brought our two pups - a senior and a puppy - to have some fun and give them each what they needed. It was a perfect spot. The little one got to run around and the older one got to relax. Marc was helpful and welcoming! We'll definitely be back.Mercedes A.

55Marc's yard is great! Wonderful space with secure fencing, lots of toys, and space for our pup to play and sniff to her heart's content. We really appreciated that he also had bug spray, a fan, and supplies in case we needed them.Charli V.

55Beautiful space for your pup to enjoy. We were greeted with a bowl full of water and toys for Mia to play with. Mia enjoyed every second she had. The resting area for you to enjoy as your pup is having fun is really nice. Will definitely be back!Guisela C.

55Great yard! Fully fenced (hard to tell in some pics but there is mesh wiring between the wood slats). Seating area for humans. You can fully see into the neighbor’s yards if that may matter for your pup, but we didn’t see any dogs in those yards the whole time so not sure if there are any. Karly M.

55Our two pups had a fantastic time running around at this Sniffspot! While the fenced in property is large, note that only a portion of the yard has grass so it was a little smaller than expected. However, the amount of grassy space was plenty for our medium sized dogs to run and play in. The fence did have a gap that a smaller dog could get through but I don't think a 60 lb+ dog like ours could go through without pushing the gate open. I would just keep this in mind if your dog is smaller or an escape artist. Great spot. Thank you!!Holly R.

FAQ about our Rockville 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 Rockville 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 304 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 61 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.
