Sketch had a great time at your Canine Paradise! I forgot to bring any toys along but, thankfully, you had plenty to work with! I can't wait to book again! As you can see in the last photo--Sketch is pooped!

We had a great experience! Our dog had so much fun running and playing in the yard. She’s fearful of dog parks, so it was a real treat to see her zooming around and being carefree. The neighborhood is quiet, and we accessed the yard via a side gate. There was a small gap in the fence opposite the house, but I think only a small dog could squeeze through if they were really trying. We weren’t worried about our 45-pound pup getting out, and the fencing was very secure overall. Our girl was totally tuckered out after 40 minutes and had been napping since we got home. We would definitely visit again!

Perfect size yard with plenty of bushes and corners for my hound to sniff out! Appreciated the dog bowl and garden hose. Host was flexible with arrival time and very responsive. Neva and Chief were so happily tuckered out! 10/10 would go again

The yard is spacious, with lots of room to run around. The fence was tall and my very energetic dog had a blast zooming in the grass. By the end of the hour, he was exhausted and happy. We entered through the gate in the fence. Overall, a very easy and fun trip. I will definitely be going back.

Great yard. Flat, shady and the fence is solid enough that my dog wasn't terribly interested in the neighbors who happened to be out enjoying the gorgeous day as well.

My first Sniffspot experience, and it was perfect. The quiet, shady, fully fenced backyard as perfect for my reactive girl Luna. She had so much fun playing fetch with the tennis balls. The water bowl and hose were much appreciated, too. Humans: don’t forget your bug spray in the summer months!

My 4 year old rescue who tolerates other dogs but is overwhelmed at the dog park really enjoyed having a fully fenced backyard to romp and roll around in. There was a water bowl set out even though we brought our own which I thought was super thoughtful & nice. We didn’t see or hear any other dogs while there. My dog was exhausted for the rest of the day! Remember to bring your bug spray!

We will be back! Great size yard for Olive to run some laps and catch the ball. Water bowl was available and balls were in the yard ready to go!

Great space to play! I’m fostering a dog who is reactive to other dogs and anything with wheels that is in motion - this space was quiet, free from distractions, and all around a great time.

It was a wonderful backyard and was a perfect amount of space for my one dog to run around. She loved it and it was very secure

We had a blast in Jonathans yard today the pups just loved it and enjoyed themselves, they felt at home! Thank you again!

Great wooden fence all around the back yard. Easy to find and access. We brought our own toys and water bowl, but some were provided as well.

This was our second visit, and we had a wonderful time! The yard is clean and secure, and it was perfect for our dog and foster dog to play and explore.

Rebecca M.

Just as described! Perfect sized yard to run my six-month old cattle dog until he was too pooped to pop while my ten-year-old terrier did some sunbathing! several balls / toys around. Superb.

The fence is very secure, and the yard is clean. There was a small patch of ram/beige crumbly things by the entrance that my puppy kept eating. Not sure what that was. Otherwise, I think they would have had more fun if it wasn’t so hot (obviously, that can’t be controlled by the host)

Helene E.

Great yard, plenty of toys and space to run. The host was super gracious and greeted us when we arrived and made sure to secure any entry points to the house (for curios/enthusiastic sniffers). Great experience overall, will definitely be back.

The dogs had a grand time sniffing all over the property. They didn't get in the pool, but the people cooled off in it and enjoyed it a lot. The property is very nice, the fence is big and secure (the gate is a little balky but just persist), and there is nice shade, good seating, and balls for the dogs to play with.

What a great space! I have 2 dogs - one loves to swim. The other has yet to learn and this was such a great space to get him into the water. Clean pool and very nice yard as well. We will be back I’m sure!

Such a great spot! Charlie had a wonderful time exploring the backyard and swimming in the pool. The only thing was I was a little unsure about where to park so additional direction there would be super helpful for new visitors!

Great, peaceful spot! Easy to communicate with the host. Our dog, Bonnie, loved dashing around the spacious yard and cooling off in the pool.

FAQ about our Potomac dog parks
