Thank you for making your wonderful property available, and for making toys, trash, poop bags, and water available! Our dog appreciated the water bowl 😊

We had so much fun at Drew’s yard! Beautiful and clean space, so many toys, and Tilly even got to socialize with a sweet dog next door through the fence. We greatly appreciated the friendly hospitality and can’t wait to visit again!

Fantastic sniff spot! It's 2 minutes from our house, convenient parking, and she has up a "2nd walk in area" so you can unleash and enter/exit without your dog running out. Yard is well groomed, very very clean, and lots of extras in amenities offered that other locations don't have. We got a chance to meet the owner and just as sweet as can be! We will be regulars for sure. Oh, and the fence looks VERY new (vs. locations with questionable holes or rotted wood spots for escape).

Charlie had a wonderful time running around the yard! Even though he doesn't like other dogs after a little while he didn't mind the neighbor's dog that was on the other side of the fence. Very nice yard and would highly recommend. Charlie will look forward to visiting again!

Great Spot! Hosts were great and very helpful since was our first time using Sniffspot. Lots of toys for our little Apollo to play with, big backyard to keep him curious. Definitely will return. Thank you for making our first experience a great one.

We were not able to take our dog for playtime, but we decided not to cancel at the last minute and let the host have the payment anyway. Thank you for your patience Drew! We will book again on another date.

This was our 1st Sniffspot experience and Drew was very welcoming. A nice size yard close to downtown Frederick that my pup got to run off some zoomies off leash safely. She was slightly distracted by the resident pup inside and wanted to play but we had a great time. Drew had toys and a clean water bowl and was even available to give me some wipes to clean my hands which was greatly appreciated.

Very private and clean! My dog enjoyed the open space. Definitely bring your own ball if you are looking to play fetch.

Amazing space, fully fenced - fence is privacy level so I didn’t have to worry about the pups being able to jump it. Host was great on communication, I was thinking I wasn’t gonna be able to make it but we did (little late, but we made it). Easy to find, def park on the side closest to gate, just makes it easier with coming and going. Quiet area, plenty of room for my 2 boys to run around. Very clean and well maintained!! Thank you so much, we will definitely be back!

The area was absolutely perfect and just as described. The dogs had lots of room to run and the area was well kept. We will definitely come back!!!

Wonderfully clean and fenced area for the dogs to play, and a spot to sit to watch the Zoomies :)

After some confusion we finally found it; east versus west would be helpful if not familiar with the area. The Sniff Spot was pawfect. Our Boston had a sniffing, running, wagging great time! Will def bring him back. The area was clean and large. Fence was private and high enough, unless you just have a determined jumper. Host provided bags, balls, water and a dog bowl even though we brought our own water and toy. A couple of chairs to sit and watch him run. Enter/exit with no issue and parking was convenient. Return and recommend.

Boston Terrier had a great tail wagging time. No worries about him escaping or hazards in the location. Will return!

Koda had a great time visiting! It was quiet, well-maintained, and the perfect amount of space for playing fetch and sniffing around! The tennis balls and water bottles provided were also a nice and thoughtful touch. We will definitely be back!

Great place to take my dogs for a run. Large complete fenced in yard. It feels private because the house is not by the fenced in area. We definitely will go back.

Sonia and her family are so accommodating! I missed a chat from them about possibly rescheduling because of some indoor construction noise, and they still let us have our visit. Their backyard is the perfect sniff spot. It’s exactly as it appears in photos and description. Tyson gives it two thumbs up for length for zoomies!

Carolina N.

My three littles enjoyed all the smells and sights at Sonia's Sniff Spot. The homeowners had two little dogs of their own, and our visit turned into an impromptu doggie play date!! So enriching and fun for my dogs. It was great!

Great space. Entire back yard covered in pea gravel which gives great resistance for my little runner. Several agility training installations. Varied toys. Small pool for pups. Nice bistro set to sit at along with chairs on deck. Shade available. Dog treats too ! Pooper scoopers and bucket. Nice full coverage fence with good latch.

This is a great spot! I was housesitting (and training) an extremely reactive dog and the high, solid fence is perfect! The space is secure and it just feels like a safe space for dogs. The yard is clean with a little table and chairs to sit (with a jar of treats, too!), the yard has installed parkour obstacles. There was a big bowl of clean water and lots of toys. Parking is just a few feet from the entry gate. I don't live in the area, but will definitely go back if I'm ever in Frederick again.

Had our first visit and already booked our next! Large fully privacy fenced in yard. Clean and safe. My dog does not like other dogs and is very reactive. I loved being able to let him off his leash to run and know that it was safe. Highly recommend this location.
