55We usually come in the afternoons (and have always loved it) but to beat the heat of the summer we came early in the morning this time. It was very peaceful and relaxing. The dogs enjoyed themselves and sniffed, chased, rolled. Great time for our little chihuahuasJennifer L.

55This was my first experience with Sniffspot. What a great experience. Mili’s location was exactly as described. I was worried it may be muddy due to the rain we recently had. But the yard is sloped and mud was not a problem at all. The dogs really loved the large grassy yard and had a great time. Thanks for being such a great host.Kim B.

55This was such a great sniffspot and Mili is such a lovely host. She went above and beyond to reach out before we arrived to send instructions and had a water bowl all prepped for their arrival. Thank you again Mili for allowing us to use your yard. Lisette R.

55Lots of space to run around, play ball, and sniff! Really appreciated the water bowl- we forgot ours at home. We’ll definitely book another day soon! :)HOPE S.

55Space is as-described, and there were lots of interesting smells for Kona. He spooked a deer from the woods next door and wished there had not been a fence holding him back. (I was grateful there was!) 😊 Thanks for a fun morning. Christine K.

55It was a pleasure to communicate with Mili - she was very understanding about my concerns. Her property was big enough for my bully breed to run around and get tired. Thank you Miliraquel c.

55This was a great spot. Both my girls loved running around. It has a good amount of shaded areas which makes this a good spot even on really sunny days. We will be coming back! Elizabeth L.

55Our dog had a fantastic time here! So many great places to sniff and lots of sticks for him to chase after. The spot was clean and our host was very friendly. The gradual slope of the yard was great for tiring our pup out by the end of the hour. We will definitely be back!Dee B.

55What an awesome time Zoe had! She ran, jumped, twirled & sniffed the entire hour. The high fence kept her safe inside the yard. If there was a way to get out she would have figured it out. The slopes in the yard and numerous other exciting things to explore really kept her busy. The size was perfect & kept Zoe totally entertained. It warmed my heart to see her in her element! Have already booked another hour for tomorrow!!Allyson F.

55Yard was clean and secure and my pups enjoyed their playtime. The wooded area at the bottom of the yard was a nice feature. It was a beautiful morning and there was a gorgeous red fox in the field below. Host provided clean water and clear instructions about parking, entering and clean up. Dana S.

55Lovely spot! Clean, quiet, peaceful, very secure, with LOTS of interesting terrain for my girl to explore and sniff. We played a lot of fetch and since the yard is on a hill (not too steep!), my young pittie was tuckered out from running uphill 100 times! We had an excellent visit. Brooke M.

55What a wonderful park-like setting to enjoy some quality outdoor time with my pup. She enjoyed running and sniffing and is one tired girl. All the nature sounds were especially relaxing for me. We will definitely make this a regular thing!Laura O.

55The cleanest spot I’ve been to so far. Oliver absolutely loved running around, sniffing and fetching his ball. The host kindly leaves out water in a clean bowl and even has a lid, so stuff doesn’t fall in. I’ve seen no left over poop.
Will be coming back for sure :)

55This was the perfect spot my pup! He is a jumper so the tall fences were just what I needed, and there was plenty of things to sniff in the yard including trees, bushes, etc.
The host was great and brought out water for my pup since I forgot some, and she was lovely to chat with as well!
Worth noting that overall the property has a beautiful landscape for myself to enjoy. Will definitely be coming back!Lisa K.

FAQ about our Gaithersburg 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. 97% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Gaithersburg 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 363 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.
