You might know us as an amazing playcare and grooming facility in the city, but did you know that we also have an amazing boarding facility just outside the city? Our rural oasis affectionately known as 'Rural Bark' is an amazing property about 45 minutes away from Urban Bark in Mississauga, ON.

Valerie is in charge at Rural Bark and your pups are going to love her! She's been walking and boarding dogs in her home for over 5 years.  She has a beautiful fenced in acre property that looks like a magical garden - check out our story highlights for a glimpse of Rural Bark.

Her sidekick Sumo, a chow chow, helps her manage all the dogs. She has put a ton of work into training Sumo to be the most well mannered chow chow around. He loves having friends over and chasing them around the yard, although, he's gotten slower with age and has to take short cuts to keep up!
