Location

Bellingham, Washington

Description

We are located in the Roosevelt neighborhood of Bellingham. Our "back 40" is a mostly maintained lawn with several trees for shade and a covered back porch for resting. Two sides of the "back forty" are bordered with a 6 foot cedar privacy fence. The far back of the yard borders a city watershed with a 6 foot chain link fence. Deer can often be spotted on the watershed but will leave the area once you and your fur baby arrive. Please consider posting a picture of you and your dog playing on our back forty. :)

Cleanliness

100% of guests said this spot was as clean as expected during their visit.

Hazards

HOST NOTE

I am hearing about Canine Infectious Respiratory Disease (CIRD) cases in our community. I spoke to my vet who said that risk of transmission is low because but there should not be a direct dog to dog exposure. For now, I am removing shared toys. I know that most of our guests enjoy these features. There are often bees during the summer. There are occasional potholes, some emerging plant starts and some decaying tree trunks. The grass surface can be uneven. There are various mushrooms (depending on the time of year), a rhododendron plant, a cedar tree and a plum tree. There is about 20 feet of gravel that users must be able to navigate to enter my yard.

Kimberly's Partially Fenced acreage In Abbotsford

Partially Fenced

IMPORTANT: all prices listed are in USD and guests will be charged in USD Give your dog wide open space to run and play here on a large acreage right in town. Coming here will feel like you are in the country with the beauty of the mountains, a field to run in and a trail to hike in. *Please note that the acreage is a total of 86 acres including the crop areas. There is very little time that the crop area is restricted. When the pumpkins are grown, it is fun to walk up the rows and we welcome the pups to be in there, take photos etc. If you visit during planting, we ask the dogs stay out of that area as that can damage the crop. There is lots of space to run and walk/hike. The perimeter trail is approximately 3.5km. There is short grass, tall grass the dogs can go in and out all over the field in the front and middle of the property. As well as up the hill trail.

**🚨 IMPORTANT: All prices are in USD. Guests will be charged in USD. 🚨** Hi! We’re A & C, and this is OUR dog park! 🐶🐾 We’re 8 and 9 years old, and we LOVE dogs—so we turned our big front yard in Surrey, BC into a private dog park! It’s fully fenced, grassy, and gives dogs a space to run, sniff, and play. This is our very own business, and we’ve been learning how to manage it and take care of the yard ourselves (with a little help from our family). Our yard is part of an **old horse farm**—it used to be a grazing and riding yard! So while it’s open and spacious, it’s also **natural, rugged, and real**, not landscaped or picture-perfect. Over time, lots of paws wore down the grass, so we took a few months to fix it up, reseed it, and get it ready for more fun. We’re now charging: ### 💰 \$17/hour (USD) This helps us keep the yard healthy, clean, and enjoyable all year round. 🌿 **What to Know Before You Book:** * This is a **family-run, natural farm yard**—not a manicured dog park * There are **blackberry bushes and prickles** around the **outer edges**, so if your pup likes to explore, keep an eye out! * The main play space is fully fenced and grassy Thanks for checking out our spot—we’re proud of what we’ve built and can’t wait to welcome you and your dog! – A & C 🐾 (Two kids with big dreams and a passion for pups) 🐕✨
