    Description

    Our little piece of heaven is a-short 8 minute drive from the wee town of Lone Butte on BC”s “Fishing Highway”, and 20 min. from the quaint town of 100 Mile House that truly has most everything you NEED. One hour North brings you to the city of Williams Lake where you can find almost everything else.

    We are looking for help with our dogs, cats, chickens and turkeys (all pets :))
    We also need help keeping the house clean and tidy, and some cooking.

    We love family, people, animals and nature. We are generally very easy going and love our quiet life. Our critter-family consists of 5 dogs, 2 cats, 2 turkeys and 10 chickens .

    Our home is a non-smoking, non-drinking household. No Foul Language and NO DRUGS OF ANY KIND. We believe in respect for all people and animals. We love our way of life and would love to share it with the right person.

    The work is basically to help with indoor and outdoor household chores, pet care, and various projects.

    Btw I don’t check email regularly so I apologize for a delayed response in advance
