Description

IMPORTANT: at this time prices can only be listed in USD so fees will be charged in USD until CAD has a made available. CURRENTLY CLOSED while we undergo a new build. We feel the heavy machinery, large crews and power tools would not be conducive to a comfortable experience. Planning on reopening in the summer. Welcome to Southview House in the Trent River Estates! Let your doggo run completely free in our half acre fully fenced, natural grounds on a 1.25 acre modern, eco homestead in rural Royston. We use no pesticides, sprays or fertilizers as our lawn is wild and bee and butterfly friendly. Bunnies, raccoons and local kitties (sometimes bears and cougars) roam at night so there will be lots to smell! Large trees for shade and sniffing around in, rugged romping areas, fresh filtered drinking water, small toys (ball, frisbee etc.), digging area, clean up bags and waste basket, doggy rinse area, and of course all natural treats! We often have eagles flying overhead with song birds and even blue herons. There is seating in the shade or sun for humans and private gated entrance at the side of the house with parking. Perfect for: Doggy Birthday parties Human and doggy get togethers Quiet time alone with the furbabies The doggo that loves to run! The shy doggo that needs to feel safe Doggy training and obedience classes Doggy snow days - if you’re able to brave the weather your doggo is in for a treat! If you’re a fashion lover…visit NIYIEM studio at the same time - our modern, eco, jewelry brand featured in New York and around the world. niyiem.ca

OUR SNIFFSPOT IS TEMPORARILY CLOSED. We are beginning a new build on our property with heavy machinery and large crews. Once construction is complete we expect to reopen late spring/early summer. Hi! We are Darya, Jordan and Isaac and we value nontoxic, clean living on our modern little homestead in Royston. We have two indoor kitties, Arlo and Poncho, and an Automower named Gilbert. We live in a quiet, friendly neighbourhood that has a rural feel but is just a few minutes from town - be sure to wave to the neighbours on your way in or out! We work from home in our modern, little, eco studio designing and fabricating jewelry, which is open for browsing, if you like. niyiem.ca

Bev's Private Dog Park In Courtenay

Fully Fenced

0.5 acres

***IMPORTANT: all prices listed are in USD and guests will be charged in USD*** Hi Everyone, Sorry about the pictures as it is winter and I haven't put out the swing cushions, better dog toys and agility things yet. They will be out and new pictures will be loaded by April 1, 2023. I have a fully fenced (dug chain link and chicken wire with gate blockers) .5 of an acre in beautiful Courtenay BC. We are right across from Nymph Falls and back onto a woodlot as well. The person is welcome to use the four acres not fully fenced right next to the fenced area if they wish as well. There will be no other people or dogs in that area. Thanks!

Billie's Private Dog Park In Qualicum Beach

Fully Fenced

0.25 acres

Hi! I'm Sami Micelli and I help manage my family's micro farm on the West coast in Canada. My frenchie canine bestie was Billie and our Sniffspot is named after her. She passed away in February suddenly and our yard is missing that lovely dog energy! If you are looking for a private fenced yard for dogs on Vancouver Island, you have the perfect place! The yard is green in the spring, summer & fall. It's rainy and grey in the winter but still a charming outdoor spot for dog exercise, play and relaxation. Indoor bookings are currently not available. We look forward to hosting your K9s! Any questions, please drop me a line! Happy to answer them 🐾 ***IMPORTANT message from Sniffspot: all prices listed are in USD and guests will be charged in USD***
