Vom Host für Workawayer (Alex)
Alex was absolutely wonderful! She was an incredibly diligent, hard-working Workawayer, who jumped in and tackled our overgrown garden. After 2 weeks, it looked better than when we first moved in 6 years ago! As well as gardening, Alex cleaned and looked after Disco, who just loved her. She was so easy going, low maintenance and lovely to be

Staying with Sophie, Ant and their lovely family was my first Workaway experience ever and it's been amazing! I felt so welcome by every single family member from the moment I got there, and I'm incredibly thankful for that. Sophie has been super caring, from the chatting before up until after I had left, and she always made sure I felt

The work was a mix of housework, gardening and caring for Disco, the cutest and most affectionate dog I've ever met (I absolutely fell in love with him and really miss our cuddle sessions and walks though the beautiful parks and neighborhood). But whatever tasks I did, Sophie always made sure I had plenty of time to explore Vancouver which has been so much fun! She also shared her knowledge about the city and the beautiful nature surrounding it with me, was always happy to show me the best routes and hikes and we even went hiking together with her two adult kids, which was just beautiful.
So, again, thank you from the bottom of my heart for making this possible for me, and for all the amazing memories I will carry in my heart from now on - like the talks we had in the kitchen, countless kisses from Didi, the Harry Potter movie nights, a wonderful mother's day, and being able to experience this beautiful place on earth by your side.
Much love, Tini ♡
Tini was with us for almost a month. She settled quickly into the routine and bonded with Disco our dog almost instantly. Tini is a great cook and baked some yummy brownies for us. She worked diligently and did a great job cleaning and gardening. Tini is a very kind and compassionate person who has a natural affinity towards animals. Safe travels

This family was so lovely, kind, and generous. I loved staying here! I felt comfortable and valued and it was a joy to look after Disco who was the sweetest dog!
Vom Host für Workawayer (Louise)
Louise lived with my daughter in April whilst my husband and I were on a road trip. She was such a great help to my daughter who was working full time and unable to walk Disco every day. Louise was a real go getter and bonded quickly with Disco as well as took the initiative in the house. We are very grateful to her!

Vom Workawayer (Dustin) für Host
I spent about 3 weeks in march at the awesome place of Sophie and Ant. During my time my main focus was on walking Disco which I wouldn't even consider work as it was pure fun. It never got boring with Disco and it wont take long until he sees you as family and gives you a lot of kisses. There are a lot of beautiful walks in the area like going to

My other tasks were most of the time to either clean or cook. As somebody who just got into cooking this was quite an experience but with Sophie and Ant being around they were always there to answer my questions.
For your free time, if you don't know the area Sophie and Ant can always give you some really good tips on some beautiful places. They always try to include you if possible so you enjoy your time there. My experience with them was simply awesome - they have an active lifestyle and also really want you to explore the area, meet people and make the best out of your time with them.
Thanks for everything!Vom Host für Workawayer (Dustin)
Dustin was wonderful to have come live with us in March 2025. He was very quiet, respectful and kind. Our dog really loved him and bonded very quickly. Dustin was hard working and tried his best at everything we asked him to do. Without a doubt, he has a gift with animals. He is a beginner cook, so was learning this new skill with us, which was

Vom Workawayer (Wiebke) für Host
It was such an lovely and welcoming stay with Sophie and Ant. A big plus is the cutest dog Disco, but not only he made the stay fabulous. Both (or all three) of them are friendly, communicative and will make you feel comfortable. It was entertaining and you will get your daily steps together, after having a long walk with Disco.
Sophie took much

If you ask Ant he will make for you a great coffee, he is the specialist for the machine and milk foam. You can join him in the living room for a movie or series in the evening, the sound will be amazing. Both could give some advices of „what is going on in Van“. Sophie perfected a great chocolate-mug-treat (really yummy) and I enjoyed to prepare the different variations of the food for our dinner. There will always be the opportunity to exchange story’s and get some tips.
It was the best time in January/February to stay with you guys, a big THANK YOU for including me in your activities, like the snow hiking.
I really appreciated my stay and would highly recommend this host to everyone, who wants to have the nature around the corner and don’t just want to sit inside.
Lovely regards from
WiebkeVom Host für Workawayer (Wiebke)
Wiebke stayed with us for one month in January and part of February 2025. She was a fast learner, very respectful and organised and always took the initiative. Wiebke bonded quickly with our dog, Disco, and also quickly learnt many different recipes I asked her to cook. We enjoyed having Wiebke stay with us and wish her the best with her future

Vom Workawayer (Linnea ) für Host
I had such a wonderful stay here! I only got to spend a few days with Sophie before she joined the rest of the family on vacation, but she was so kind and offered great recommendations for places to check out in the neighbourhood. Communication was excellent throughout, and I knew she was always available for any questions I had. Accommodations

Linnea was the perfect house guest and wonderful with our dog. She looked after him for 3 weeks whilst we were travelling and was extremely responsible. I came home to find the dog thriving, all of my house plants well cared for, and a spotlessly clean home. It was wonderful! Thanks so much Linnea!
Vom Workawayer (Amelie) für Host
Sophie, Ant and Disco are just a dream! I couldn’t have found a better first host family! Apart from the great communication, they really helped and encouraged me to make the best out of my stay. We cooked and ate together, talked about what to explore in Vancouver and spent Halloween with pumpkin carving and watching a movie. They even took me to

Disco is the cutest and affectionate dog. He definitely was the best adventure buddy :) Long walks to the beach and hikes were his favourite.
All in all: They just made me feel right at home and I definitely miss them!Vom Host für Workawayer (Amelie)
Amelie stayed with us for one month in Vancouver. She carried out cleaning/ housework and looked after our beloved pet, Disco. Throughout, Amelie was very courteous, kind and hard working. Her English was excellent, and she was always willing to go above and beyond what we had asked her to do. Our dog became very attached to her, and we will all

Honestly, it was one of my favorite workaways. Sophie and Ant are amazing people, I had lots of fun staying there and the time with Disco was so cool! The communication was great and the recommendations for visiting places was very helpful. I also learned a lot of new things and I hope I can go back at some point. I will miss Disco and the whole

Paulina was so easy to communicate with and so willing and happy to help out. She bonded very quickly with our dog and nothing was too hard for her. It was a pleasure hosting Paulina, and we would have her back any time!
