Max's Place, Fully fenced yard in Upper Marlboro

Fully Fenced
0.17 acres

Welcome to Max’s Place 😊 We recently lost our big baby, Max, and his mother two years before that. When house hunting, I made sure to buy a house with a nice size yard for our dogs. Now that they are no longer here, we’d like to invite others to enjoy the freedom to run around. Max’s Place is completely fenced. We offer the use of a small agility set, a lounging area for both dogs and their humans, toys and balls. There is a hose hookup in the back if you need water. Contact me for any other questions or concerns. We hope you enjoy your visit!

Welcome to the Blue House Play Park! (The light blue house) Easy to find and convenient entrance to the backyard right in front of the driveway. Feel free to park on the drive or in front of the house if parking is available, or anywhere you see fit in the cul-de-sac. You will have uninterrupted time with your pup(s) in my large fenced-in backyard. I have one doggo but won't be outside during your booked time.

The Taylor's Fully Fenced Yard For Dogs To Rent In Waldorf

Fully Fenced
0.02 acres

Our spacious, fully fenced backyard offers plenty of room for dogs to run, explore, and burn off their energy in a safe environment. The yard is both long and wide, giving dogs lots of space to play freely. When our granddogs come to visit (pit bulls) they love running freely here, so we’re excited to share this space with other happy dogs to bring them the same joy! You may occasionally hear the neighboring dog barking (if he's outside), and at times he may be visible through the fence, but the yard remains fully enclosed for safety. If that makes you uncomfortable at any time you can always use the other side of the large yard. The yard features mature trees and a privacy fence, creating a comfortable setting for you and your dogs. It is easily accessible from the driveway/street, has off street parking, and is wheelchair friendly. For those who’d like a better view of the space, there is also a large balcony overlooking the entire yard. From this slightly elevated viewpoint, you can relax while keeping an eye on your dog enjoying the space. Outdoor wall outlets are available on the patio if needed, and chairs can be provided free of charge upon request. Please make sure both entry and exit gates are securely closed before letting your dog off leash.

Twisted Creek Farm /Private Dog Park In Huntingtown

Fully Fenced
8 acres

8 acre pasture completely fenced in with wood fence and field wire. Separate 32 acres is accessible with a stream but has to be guided the first time. You are allowed to drive your vehicle in to the field without having to leash your pup! Two vehicle maximum. Extra charge for more, see extras. It’s such a large area that waste removal isn’t required unless it happens right in front of you. If that happens, please dispose of over the fence. Shovel provided a entry. Just for your information. This “farmette” is in a neighborhood so there may be other dogs in other peoples yards that you might hear. We also have a family dog that might be visible occasionally in our own private yard, far away and totally separate from the Sniffspot. If you have any issues at all, please reach out to me and I will make it right . Thank you!🙂

Shanie's Fully Fenced Yard For Dogs To Rent In Silver Spring

Fully Fenced
0.11 acres

A beautiful rectangular fenced yard on quiet cul de sac street with outdoor couch on and table, fairy lights, and flower gardens. Dogs love to chase each other around the large tree, bask on the lawn, and explore the bamboo patch behind the sheds. Lots of birds and squirrels to watch. Areas of shade and sun, fire pit, water bowls, doggie bags, and trash cans. No dogs live in the house. There are neighbor dogs but rarely outside. My tenant very occasionally may come or go out the corner of the yard, but she loves dogs and will not bother you.

Willow Tree Yard

Fully Fenced
0.17 acres

**FYI: Starting March 23, our spot will be temporarily closed for 3-4 weeks for some all-natural lawn maintenance/recovery. After we open again, our hourly rate will slowly increase (about $1 per month) until we hit $10 during peak summer months. But we also plan to add some new amenities, such as a shade canopy.** Let your dog run free in our backyard that has a wooden privacy fence. They can also play or lounge under the shade of our large weeping willow tree. The lower deck has 3 lawn chairs, and the upper deck (accessible via stairs in the backyard) has 2 rocking chairs and a picnic table with 4 chairs. Use of shed in backyard is not an option (it will be locked). There is easy free street parking in our cul-de-sac. If your dog (or child) wants to use the toddler slide, feel free to pull it out onto the grass. If you would like me to make the box of children's toys available during your visit (for no extra charge), please select that option in the Extras section of your reservation. Note 1: When walking between your vehicle and the gate to our backyard, there may sometimes be other people or dogs on the street/sidewalk or in their front yards. Or there may sometimes be someone from our household leaving or arriving home (which involves walking between the front door and a car in our driveway). So please keep your dog on leash until you are inside the backyard with the gate closed (per standard SniffSpot rules). Note 2: If you would like to reserve a particular day/time that is not currently shown as available (especially if it is more than 30 days from now), please send me (the host) a chat message to find out if I can make it available for you. Similarly, if you have concerns about signing up for a Sniffpass subscription before seeing the availability for this spot, please send me a message so that I can tell you when my spot is or isn't available.

Frequently asked questions about Shady Side dog parks

Why are private dog parks better than public ones in Shady Side?

Private dog parks in Shady Side eliminate the major risks of public facilities: unpredictable dogs, inattentive owners, disease transmission, and chaotic environments that can overwhelm puppies, seniors, small dogs, or reactive pets.

Whether you have a nervous puppy or a dog-selective adult, private bookings give you control and peace of mind.

You get all the benefits of off-leash exercise in Shady Side without public dog park risks.

Can reactive dogs safely use Shady Side dog parks?

Yes, and this is exactly what Sniffspot was designed for! Shady Side has 794 private locations where reactive dogs can exercise off-leash without encountering other animals. Since bookings are completely private with 30-minute buffers between visitors, your reactive dog won't face the triggers that make public dog parks impossible. Many Shady Side owners of reactive dogs rely on Sniffspot as their only safe exercise option.

What amenities help anxious or reactive dogs in Shady Side?

Look for Shady Side locations with "fewer dogs seen/heard" to minimize triggers for reactive dogs. Secure fencing prevents escapes during stress. Quiet, spacious properties reduce anxiety. Some Shady Side hosts specifically cater to nervous or reactive dogs with extra privacy features. Read reviews to find hosts who understand fearful or reactive dog needs.

How clean are Shady Side dog parks?

Unlike public dog parks where cleanliness varies wildly, Sniffspot hosts in Shady Side maintain their own spaces and take pride in providing clean environments. All guests must have vaccinated dogs (or titers) to prevent disease transmission. Many Shady Side hosts provide poop bags and trash cans. Reviews highlight cleanliness, so you can choose well-maintained locations.

Can I visit Shady Side dog parks with multiple dogs?

Yes! Most Shady Side Sniffspots welcome multiple dogs from the same household. Some hosts set limits (like 2-3 dogs maximum), which will be noted on the listing. If you have several dogs—especially if some are reactive toward other dogs—Sniffspot's private bookings let them play together safely without outside interference.

Are Shady Side dog parks good for senior dogs?

Yes! Shady Side Sniffspot locations are excellent for senior dogs who need gentle exercise without the stress of public dog parks. Older dogs can explore at their own pace, rest when needed, and avoid being knocked over by rambunctious puppies or large dogs. Look for Shady Side spots with flat terrain, shaded areas, and smaller sizes if your senior has limited mobility.

How do I find dog parks in Shady Side for small dogs?

Filter Shady Side's 794 locations by "small dog friendly" to find spaces specifically suited for toy breeds and small dogs. These tend to be more intimate, with secure fencing that prevents squeezing through gaps. Some Shady Side hosts have separate small dog areas or cater specifically to petite pups who might get overwhelmed at large public dog parks.
