I have a fully fenced 1 acre property located in the Alberni Valley, about 15 minutes drive from town. I love walking the many nature trails in our area with my dog. Aside from a daily walk or two, weather dependant, you will typically find us outside on the property, gardening or just relaxing. I understand the importance of meeting the specific needs of certain dog breeds, both physical and mental, as I have a Border Collie who requires a fair amount of stimulation (if ya know, ya know). My home is spacious and well set up for doggies to enjoy both outside and indoors. No couch is off limits for the pups! My girl Millie is very well socialized and loves meeting new doggies of all shapes and sizes. Her many doggie friends will tell you she is very calm and well mannered. I do have free range chickens on our property, but haven’t had any issues with proper introduction and supervision, even with dogs who have never been around them before. I would care for your pup as if it were my own and ensure they had nothing but the best time during their stay! They may not even want to leave!

Morning usually starts with a walk to the river at the nearby Stamp Falls Provincial Park. Upon return it’s breakfast for the woofer/s and some yard chores. Depending on the season and day of the week, I will either be puttering around the property or out for an adventure at beautiful Sproat Lake. When winter is upon us, we spend cozy days cuddled up inside either working in my pottery studio or watching a movie after a game of fetch in the yard. Coming from Ucluelet, rain doesn’t scare me or keep me from doing our daily adventures! Some days I end up going on 3-4 walks per day.
