Description
We are a semi-retired couple that lives in Smithers, the prettiest town you can imagine. Mountains, the Bulkley River, forest and alpine wilderness... We are looking for someone to dog and cat sit, as well as water house plants and do some painting. We are firm that our volunteer be a non-smoker. We are looking for September 15 to October 15.
We are both teachers so English language improvement will be easy! We live on 5 acres adjacent to trails that lead to downtown Smithers in less than 5 minutes. The forest is right out the door, mountain biking and hiking trails are within 5 minutes too.
We have bikes, skis, and snowshoes to lend.
