55It’s our first Sniffspot experience and it was great! Maria gave clear instructions and responded promptly to my questions. We appreciated her kindness. Our dog loved the yard! He’s reactive and anxious so a private space is what he needs. He ran around and explored the place. From where the table is, you have a good vantage point of almost all the space so keeping an eye on your dog is easy. The space is right next to the road but we still felt tucked in our own little world. We will come back! Gail E.

55We stayed longer (4hrs) for our 2nd visit and loved it all the same. I was worried it’ll be too hot for me but luckily, the sun didn’t hit the sitting area directly. Our dog loved his stay ofc! Maria’s a gracious host as always. :) Gail E.

55I had a great time with my pup. The road just on the other side of the fence may be a distraction to some dogs, but mine was not bothered by it. It didn't seem to bad during the tail end of rush hour. The yard has a general gentle slope from on corner to the diagonally opposite corner. It is a various mix of grass and woodchips. There are some rocks at the lowest point that may be an ankle hazard to humans. Other than that, the fence was in decent shape. I don't think smaller dogs can get thru. The yard was free of poo and there were 2 collection cans, one in the yard and one by the gate. There was a decent collection of balls and toys but I bring my own. Parking and directions were easy to find and follow. I would come here again if I had a "forever" dog, as I am just fostering a dog temporarily. Anthony S.

55This was my first time using Sniffspot. Recently adopted a bonded pair. They came from a house w/a nice back yard to now living in a condo where they are always leashes when outside. My dogs had a blast! It was so much fun to watch them running around off of leashes. One of my dogs is extremely dog reactive so it was awesome to have the space all to ourselves. Thank you Maria, we’ll be back! Jess F.

55Great spot that is fully fenced in. It was great for training our reactive dog. The entrance was a little hard to find for me, but once we found it enjoyed it. Kristina L.

55Place was easy to get to and offered great space for my dog to run around. Could hear dog barking and was worried my reactive dog would be distracted but he didn’t seem to care. Overall great experience.Kimara W.

55I had a great first Sniffspot visit with my two dachshunds! It was so nice to have a backyard for them to run around in without having the added stress of other dogs being around. Sadie and Oakley played fetch and explored every corner of the yard. The yard was well kept and had a nice area with patio chairs under a canopy. There’s also dog poo bags provided if you don’t have any. I brought a water bottle and bowl of my own and some toys and we were all set. We will definitely be back! Lily I.

55Sansa and I had an excellent visit at this Sniffspot! The yard was extremely spacious with toys and poo bags provided. The shaded area gave me a great spot to relax and a place for Sansa to take a break when the wasn’t running and sniffing every inch of the yard. Definitely will be back!Skylar S.

55Space was clean and the host was kind enough to put bug spray out for guests. My GSD had a blast chasing his ball for a whole 15 minutes before he decided he’d rather eat grass….Raechel B.

55Nice, flat, open play area for dogs with sunshade for humans.
It is easy to miss the right turn off Falls Rd. before the church, so slow down. Margaret H.

55My first Sniffspot, but we had a great time. It was clean, fences were good and it was nice to have chairs to sit in while the dogs played. Lights came on automatically at dusk (thank you!) There were a few toys around (yay) and a trashcan for dog waste. We'll definitely come back.Sharon S.

55The host was welcoming and accommodating. The yard was a perfect size for my energetic puppy to run around and play ball and frisbee. He had such a great time that he did not want to leave! Lesson learned: keep a long leash on the dog for the full play time, make it easier to grab & go!Kim B.

55Hi, this was my first experience with Sniffspot. The location was great, I really liked that it was detached, private, and secure. The canopy is a nice touch, gives the dog parents somewhere to relax. Nice long lot with some trees, perfect for zoomies, this was exactly what I was looking for. Thanks!Blake A.

55We loved this yard! It was set up perfectly for our dog, Harley. We found the house okay, but had a little difficulty finding the yard because we were looking in the back. The yard is in the front where you park. There are toys and lots of room to run. The yard was clean. We had a great time and will definitely be back!Kim L.

FAQ about our Rockville dog fields
Are dog fields safe?
If you are looking for an adventure, but also looking for safety, Sniffspot dog fields are a great option. While public dog parks have a number of safety issues, such as aggressive dogs, distracted dog owners, disease transmission and general cleanliness, Sniffspot dog parks are much safer than public dog parks. With Sniffspot all bookings are private space for just you and doggy friends you bring with you and we require all dogs to be vaccinated (or have equivalent titers). Especially for training, privacy is ideal. Contrary to public dog parks, all Sniffspot locations are vetted and reviewed by guests so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog for off leash exercise or outdoor training. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits are 5 stars, while public dog parks often do not even have verified reviews. All payment is done securely online by credit card in a few simple clicks.
All park rental information is available online. Start by filtering parks by fencing, size and distractions, to find a private spot that works for your dog. If your dog has poor recall, you can visit one of our secure fields. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our dog fields where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can review the details of the listing to make sure it works as your desired activity space, for example, safe dog exercise, dog training, a stress-free adventure with your furry friend or even a puppy event. You can even check the park amenities chart for amenities such as indoor training facilities, agility field, synthetic turf, exercise balls or field parking availability in advance. If inclement weather is an issue or poor field conditions, you can reschedule your visit up to 2 hours in advance.
What are the requirements to bring my dog to a Sniffspot dog field?
We require that all four-legged friends have basic vaccinations or equivalent titers. We do not allow dogs with a bite history. We require that guests sign our waiver and agree to follow our safety rules. Make sure to check host rules before visiting to ensure, for instance, that you are following allowable sports activities rules and any special events rules.
Will there be other dogs at the Sniffspot field at the same time as me?
No. Facility rentals are for private play time and any host dogs are required to be kept away from the area during visits, so this is perfect for a private adventure for you and your doggie friends, and perhaps a human friend. Hosts understand that many guests have dogs in training and are nervous owners. So when you book a Sniffspot dog field you have the entire private spot to yourself. We also enforce 30 min time buffers between time slots so you will not run into other guest dogs or a previous person when coming or leaving in the field parking area. Some hosts may have multiple fields, but there is always a buffer between fields.
How much do Sniffspot fields cost?
Dog fields in the Rockville area range from $6.0 and $6.0. The least expensive dog field is Molly's Play Place. The most expensive dog field is Molly's Play Place. Each host sets their own price, so you can check the price on the specific Sniffspot dog park listing.
