    Hello, I live in a large two-bedroom apartment and when I travel I need someone reliable to take care of my cat Molly and my plants. You'll have access to the pantry and natural medicine cabinet (I'm an herbalist). There's a nice workspace for digital travelers and my bicycle is available for your use :) Molly is very sociable and sweet (but she does have scratches; watch your hands if she wants to play). She loves going out in the evening and coming back just before dark. The neighbors are very kind and quiet. I ask that they be quiet too. Shops are nearby and everything is accessible by bus or bike :) Mount Orford and its trails are a 20-minute drive away.

    Bonjour, j'habite dans un grand 4 et demi et lors de mes voyages j'ai besoin de quelqu'un de fiable pour prendre soin de ma chatte Molly et de mes plantes. Vous pourrez profiter du garde-manger et de la pharmacie naturelle (je suis herboriste). Il y a un bel espace de travail pour les voyageurs numériques et mon vélo est à votre disposition :)
    Molly est vraiment sociable et douce (mais griffée; attention à vos mains si elle veut jouer). Elle adore sortir le soir et rentrer juste avant la nuit. Les voisins sont super gentils et tranquilles. Je demande aux visiteurs d'être tranquille aussi; pour eux. Les commerces sont à proximité et tout se fait en bus ou en vélo :) Le Mont Orford et ses sentiers sont à 20 minutes en voiture.

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    Summer life in Sherbrooke is vibrant: stroll along the Promenade du Lac-des-Nations (on foot, by bike, or on skates), explore the circuit of 17 trompe-l'œil murals, and enjoy the Marché de la Gare (Farmers' Market). Nature lovers will appreciate Mont-Bellevue, Domaine-Howard Park, and the Magog River Gorge. Several hiking trails and a bike path are located in the area. There's the OFF Festival des harmonies (Sherbrooke in Music) in May, with free shows. The Festibière (Beer Festival) is also in May, followed by the Fête du Lac des Nations (Lake of Nations Festival) and the Sherblues festival in July. The Festival des traditions du monde (World Music Festival) takes place in August, and much more.

    Taking care of my cat Molly is the priority: feeding her only her cat food (no table scraps) and giving her fresh water. Taking her outside every day and bringing her back in before nightfall. Then watering the plants once or twice while you're there.

    Prendre soin de ma chatte Molly est la priorité: la nourrir avec ses graines uniquement (pas de bouffe de table) et lui donner de l'eau fraîche. La faire sortir à tous les jours et la rentrer avant la nuit. Puis arroser les plantes 1 ou 2 fois dans votre séjour.
