Description
I live in beautiful Deep Cove, a seaside suburb of Vancouver, British Columbia. Steps away from the ocean(swimming and kayaking), hiking on mountain trails(My Seymour and the famous Quarry Rock Lookout)
I am a shift worker looking for someone to walk (and play with) my 2 dogs when I work shift work. I hope to host a workawayer for 2-3 weeks at a time.Types of help and learning opportunities
GardeningDIY and building projectsAnimal CareHelp around the houseGeneral MaintenanceCultural exchange and learning opportunities
I am a friendly and sociable individual who enjoys sharing travel stories and helping others practice English (or I can practice my limited knowledge of other languages with other travellers). I would be happy to show hiking trails in the forest where I live to a traveller. I also LOVE to cook and feed people.
Help
I have 2 medium sized dogs (50 and 60 lbs) who need a minimum of an hour’s walk a day). One dog is anxious around other dogs and has to be kept close on leash and distracted with dog treats if you pass other dogs. Therefore it is very important for any traveller who chooses this assignment to be comfortable with dogs and have some experience with them. Some small cleaning tasks and a bit of yard work (cutting grass, watering plants, minor weeding, planting some things), small interior painting jobs as well.

I speak a very small amount of German, Spanish and Italian and would enjoy increasing my knowledge of these languagesAccommodation
A private bedroom and bathroom will be provided as well as full use of my backyard with sun deck and gazebo for outdoor leisure. Although I don’t cook every day due to my shift work, there will always be food and ready made meals available to consume when convenient for a traveller. There is also an E- bike (with a small cargo container) available to explore with.
What else ...
I live five minutes away from Deep Cove Beach and Quarry Rock Hike, fifteen minutes away from Cates Park Beach and Mount Seymour (hiking and mountain biking). There is a bus stop three minutes away. Downtown Vancouver is 45 minutes away by bus (2 buses and a small ferry-Seabus)
