cautions: there are two window wells on the left side of the house and crawl space used as a storage area under the back porch (crawl space is large enough for a human to fit - about 4' off the ground). There is also an unlocked/sometimes open shed w/lawn mower and other tools in the back yard.

Additional rules

Apologies, we have temporarily limited our Sniffspot slots as we tend to the needs of our ailing dog. Two out of three dogs are battling significant illnesses and it can be challenging to manage yard use. We hope to fully open again soon once things have stabilized. Thanks for your support! ------------------------------------- ** Please note this Sniffspot is primarily for dog owner use, it is not for entrepreneurs who are conducting dog-related business such as catering canine parties or social events and/or charging dog owners fees for dog walking services. While I applaud such entrepreneurs I request they take their business elsewhere. Sorry for any inconvenience but thank your for respecting my wishes ** ------------------------------------- All visiting dogs must be fully vaccinated and free of parasites. Please discourage digging when playing and bring bags to pick up after your dog when they go potty. There is a trash can available for quick disposal. Do not leave dog(s) unsupervised. Please feel free to play with the toys in the yard and relax on the patio furniture. Dogs are allowed on the furniture. Please do not remove any items from the yard. Resident dogs will be kept indoors unless other arrangements have been made in advance for a play date. We hope you enjoy the yard as much as we do! Guests can let themselves in the gate. Please note for sound sensitive pups: it seems one of my neighbors may have put in a pool, on some wkends there can be quite a bit of noise from the kids playing in it. Also for same-day/short notice reservations can be challenging if I'm on the road or otherwise indisposed, I may not see your reservation promptly, therefore I may request a few hrs notification at certain times or have time blocked if I can't respond promptly. However you can message me to see if I'm available on short notice and if so, I'll go ahead and change the notice requirement so you can book it.

This yard has always been a special place for our family. Our dog loved racing through the grass here, full of energy and joy. After saying goodbye, my wife and I wanted to open the space to other dogs so they could enjoy it just as much as he did. Our large, fully fenced yard offers plenty of room to run, sniff, and explore safely. The 7-foot wooden fence keeps everything secure, perfect for off-leash play or reactive pups who need a little extra space. The yard features lush grass with mulch beds beneath mature trees, giving your dog both open sunshine and cool shade to enjoy. There’s a seating area with table and chairs, balls for playtime, and access to a hose and electrical outlet for your convenience. Off-street parking makes arrival easy and stress-free. Set in a quiet suburban neighborhood, just a short drive from Alexandria, Arlington and Washington DC. This is a peaceful spot to unwind, train, be off-leash and let your dog be a dog. We hope your pup feels right at home here. In the fall the yard gets covered in leaves. I do my best to keep them tidy, but they seem to have their own plans. Our dog used to love racing through the piles, and most pups enjoy the extra smells and crunch — hopefully yours does too.
