55Fence has no gaps and the yard was well maintained and clean. We visited on a weekend so some of the neighbors were out in their yards (if you have a people reactive dog) but it was perfect and we will be coming back! Kristen S.

55Kelly's spot is one of the best I've been to. Ample space for running. A dog paradise where my pup
had more than enough room to run, chase, and explore. The fencing was secure and high, giving me peace of mind
What truly set this backyard apart was the thoughtful attention to detail. The owner clearly understands what dogs love and owners need.
Everything was tidy and well-kept, which is so important when you're dealing with dogs. The provided waste bags and disposal bins made cleanup a breeze.
Beyond the physical space, the communication with the owner was fantastic. Kelly was responsive, friendly, and provided clear instructions
Five out of five paws up!

I had such a great experience at this sniff spot! The grounds were incredibly spacious, giving the dogs plenty of room to roam freely and explore. They absolutely loved having so many new scents to investigate. The host was very responsive and made the entire process smooth and enjoyable.
I also appreciated the thoughtful touches, like the covered seating area where I could relax while the dogs played. This spot is not only well worth the price, but I’d also highly recommend it to anyone looking for a safe, fun, and well-maintained space for their pups. I’ll definitely be coming back.Dominique H.

Private, Fenced Dog Oasis in Silver Spring | Sniffspot
55This is a wonderful spot in Silver Spring. The backyard had plenty of space for our boy, Harley, to run and play. Having toys there was great. Harley loved two of the balls. He is a rescue that had never played with a ball before, so this was magical. There are seats and a table for dog parents. Kim L.

FAQ About Silver Spring 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.
