Description
We are a semi retired couple with two Basset Hounds living in quasi rural Nova Scotia. We have a cozy home and an acre property, which is fully fenced so the hounds can run free. We have a large private bedroom to offer, and a shared bath. We have lovely outdoor spaces with 2 decks, lots of seating options, outdoor fireplaces and soon to be a wood fired pizza oven. We have a replica Irish pub in our basement!

Gardening
Animal Care
Help around the house
General Maintenance
House sitting
Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
You could definitely practice your English staying with us, and we'd be happy to share with you any of our knowledge of Canadian customs and heritage. We are located in Nova Scotia, minutes from both the New Brunswick and PEI borders! A perfect location if you are interested in exploring the Martimes!! You can visit 3 provinces in one day!
Help
We're hoping someone might want to stay with us and look after our dogs while we're away from time to time. We love to camp on Spring & Summer weekends, but our dogs do not, so it would be ideal if someone were interested in hanging out in our area, and willing to look after our dogs when we go away. They're super loving and very easy to care for. There could be some weeding, watering, planting, etc (if you're interested) and maybe some help with minor projects like stacking firewood, little repairs... Nothing major, and we really are more interested in a "house-sit" (dog-sit) than actual help around the house.

We only need help with dogs when we go away (misty on weekends) so the rest of the time is your own for exploring!
