55The area was quiet, clean and fun for our dogs!
55Perfect! Close to our home -clean and private- my dogs are dearly loved but reactive rescues. We arrived with two rambunctious pups- left with two very tired happy pups! We will be back!
55My two pups had a wonderful time! One of them is a bit of an escape artist so I really appreciated that the one area of the fence with a gap was totally blocked off before we got there.
55My dog had the best time! It was a big, beautiful backyard with plenty of water, toys, and poop bags provided. The space was also incredibly well taken care of and had plenty of places to sit and relax while playing with your dog. Thank you!
55The yard was lovely and bigger than I was expecting. A very peaceful place to let my dog off leash to run around.
55Wonderful yard to really let the pups loose. Great host!
55Absolutely perfect! Great size yard and fresh water!
55Plenty of grass and long enough for a good game of fetch
55What a wonderfully peaceful space. Large yard for the dog to explore and run around. Very clean with great amenities provided. Highly recommend and will certainly be coming back!
55Wonderful place! Plenty of room to run with big shade trees. Easy to find in quite area. Will be bringing Wrangler back again! Thank you!

Please note: my calendar will be open based on daylight and rain. I work hard at keeping my grass healthy with no mud. If you’ve got a dog who doesn’t cause divots, feel free to text me and I should be able to open the calendar for you. I live in a neighborhood in bellingham. there are duplexes on one side and in good weather, people can often be heard. neighbors might be visible at a nearby duplex or houses located across the back of my property which borders on a city of bellingham watershed. i have recently set up a camera for my backyard porch, my front and back yard.

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

I am hearing about Canine Infectious Respiratory Disease (CIRD) cases in Oregon. I spoke to my vet who said that risk of transmission is low because there is no direct dog to dog exposure. For now, I am removing shared toys and water bowls. 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.

Additional rules

I walk the property every day looking for poop. Please clean up after your pet so we can all enjoy a poop free play area. Toys are washed about every two weeks. I'd love to meet you but also want to respect your privacy. Feel free to knock on my slider if you have a question or would just like to say hi. Please park directly in front of my house in front of the fence. Have fun!!!
