55This spot is perfect in every way! Beautiful water feature, tons of land, and very quiet and private. My labs loved swimming in the pond and slept the whole way home! We can’t wait to return!Caroline M.

55We’ve been to Sarah’s spot a few times now and it never disappoints! Today was the first time we took advantage of exploring the property, along with swimming. Plenty of room for dogs to run and explore. Thanks!Heidee P.

55This was our second visit to Sarah’s spot and it was once again great! Lots of room for sniffing about, playing fetch, and water to dock dive or swim. Property is well-kept. Thanks!Heidee P.

55Beautiful spot! I enjoyed myself almost as much as my dogs! We were double booked with their Rover walker so we unexpectedly came face to face with the resident dog, who was luckily very polite! I would recommend that if you have reactive dogs you double check with the host that their dogs will be inside before going! Caitlee H.

55Sarah’s spot was great! Pond with dock was perfect for Ellie to swim and practice dock diving (her favorite). Property was great size for some intense fetch (her other favorite). Only complaint is that the grass was quite long, but it’s a holiday weekend and it looked like nobody was home, so understandable!Heidee P.

55Sarah’s yard is beautiful!!! Everything was well maintained, very private and peaceful. An abundance of space for our 3 dogs to run and swim and sniff. Our dogs can struggle with recall while off leash but this space is so private we had no safety concerns. We will be back!!Jenna S.

55What a gorgeous location! It was pretty windy and cold but my two furkids had an awesome time exploring, sniffing, and adventuring in a new spot. I did have to stay aware of the chickens which sometimes came over their fence and my dogs would want to chase them. Other than that it was great and I will definitely be back!Diana S.

FAQ About Bancroft 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.
