Description

Important - All prices are in USD and charges to the guest are in USD Our backyard is a mini overgrown Garry Oak forest in the city. With more than 25 trees including 2 Douglas Firs, a snowberry-blackberry thicket, boulders, and some fallen logs, it is like a mini oasis. Our trees are home to owls, squirrels, and Coopers Hawks in the summer months. We are actively working to remove invasive plants like English Ivy and blackberries from the wooded lot so please exercise caution as you move around the more overgrown areas. Good shoes are must. If you’d like more of a standard yard experience, the mulched upper garden bed area is flat and great for playing fetch. Plenty of good sticks, bones and dog toys. The rest of the yard has rocky, varied terrain and sloped in spots. Some rocks can be loose, so please exercise caution. Most of the back lot is a thicket of blackberry and snowberry bramble that we are slowly working to restore to a native plant meadow and maintain the paths. Best suited for adventurous folks, dogs that are not prey driven or escape artists.

Hazards

HOST NOTE

This yard is a work in progress and we are removing buried trash as we uncover it below overgrown ivy networks deep in the back yard. The area closer to the house has been cleared of garbage already however there are large rocks, cement chunks and other debris in various areas to be mindful of. Please exercise caution and good judgement.

Additional rules

Please park on the upper parking pad (it is not paved), next to the walkway to our front door. Please keep your dogo off the raised vegetable beds. Pick up all waste, bag and dispose of it. You can use our trash cans out front. The yard is fully fenced but it is a hilly property and there could be gaps in areas that small dogs can get through. Please keep an eye on your small dog. Not a good yard for escape artists because the topography is rough and it’s quite wild in the back!

Lifelong animal lover, rescuer and cat mom. We’ve fostered (indoor) cats, dogs from Mexico, and even a herd of rescue goats in our yard. I have a lot of hesitance about local narrow sidewalks and dog park safety which is why we’ve decided to list our yard space.

Wind Ridge Farm Field

Fully Fenced

1 acre

****IMPORTANT: all prices listed are in USD and guests will be charged in USD so it is around 15 canadian*** This is a mostly open area farm field. Space includes a small wooded area within the fenced area. Bathroom available on site in the smaller barn. SMOKE FREE ZONE. Pick up after dogs, garbage bin provided. There are a few seniors visiting with mobility issues which is taken into consideration when there is poop left behind. You can always message me and let me know a general area and I can try to run out and pick it up between the next visit. There are some small gaps in the fence, so this is a great spot for large and medium sized dogs. Not a spot recommended for small dogs or severely reactive. Please keep dogs leashed until it is your time slot and are in the designated area and keep in mind you may pass another dog owner with their dog on a leash leaving or entering the spot. IF YOU CAN NOT CONTROL YOUR DOG ON A LEASH WHEN PASSING ANOTHER DOG PLEASE DO NOT BOOK THIS SPOT. Lots of seniors visit this spot and they may need some extra time to walk to their cars. For the most part spacing between guests has been good. Please read the essential rules the website has suggested in order to keep this a fun and safe place for dogs. Guests can be blocked from booking again if they do not respect the space or who are rude to me. Please check the spot descriptions for all details regarding animals on the property. Do not book after you read the description if you think it is not a proper fit for your dog. My phone number is 2509208914 and my dad's is 2508962860. Text or call if at anytime you need anything. This number is repeated in multiple places, including the welcome message. SPRING AND SUMMER ANNOUNCEMENTS *We will be adding a doggy splash pad and a kiddie pool with fresh water as an add on option. *shade umbrellas are out of storage and I just have to wash them... so they are coming very soon. *I am in the works of creating a full enclosed cat park. So if you are also a cat person or know a cat person please share my other link to book through the Swimply App. Similar to sniff spot but the insurance coverage is slightly different for cats ahah. "Scratch's Spot - Cat Nature Spot" https://swimply.com/pooldetails/70437?utm_source=pdp_share_button&utm_medium=website&utm_campaign=70437. You can also book that spot for puppy training, as it will be a more controlled smaller space 18 ft long. This will have a little drawing table/play kitchen/play house for kids set up in the corner, and chairs. For people who don't have cats you can still book the space and visit my two friendly orange cats. The orange cats on the property are very people/kid friendly. The black/white cats are loving only to immediate family members. Thank you to all our visitors. It's been wonderful seeing so many happy dogs.
