Description
Walk my dog and help out with odd jobs including interior painting while exploring North Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.
I live in beautiful Deep Cove, a seaside suburb of Vancouver, British Columbia. Steps away from the ocean(swimming and kayaking), hiking on mountain trails(Mount Seymour and the famous Quarry Rock Lookout)
I am a shift worker looking for someone to walk my dog (that has huge exercise needs)when I work shift work. I hope to host a workawayer for 2-3 weeks at a time. I’m also hoping to host someone who likes interior painting and is able to do it well (because that’s a task I don’t like and I am also not very good at it). A little yard work, household cleaning tasks and odd jobs would also be appreciated.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
I am a friendly and sociable individual who enjoys sharing travel stories and helping others practice English (or I can practice my limited knowledge of other languages with other travellers). I would be happy to show hiking trails in the forest where I live to a traveller. I also LOVE to cook and feed people.
Help
I have a 50 lb 6 year old coonhound mix called George. He is very high energy and I would prefer that he is walked on trails, yet kept on a long leash (I will provide a 100 ft leash) as he may not recall to someone he doesn’t know well. I would prefer that he gets out for at least an hour or more a day.
Therefore it is very important for any traveller who chooses this assignment to be comfortable with dogs and have some experience with them. I also would like the person or persons I host to enjoy the outdoors, rain or shine.
Some small cleaning tasks and a bit of yard work (cutting grass, watering plants, minor weeding, planting some things), household chores and small interior painting jobs as well.
Languages
Languages spoken
German: BeginnerThis host offers a language exchange
I speak a very small amount of German, Spanish and Italian and would enjoy increasing my knowledge of these languages.
Accommodation
A private bedroom and bathroom will be provided as well as full use of my backyard with sun deck and gazebo for outdoor leisure. Although I don’t cook every day due to my shift work, there will always be food and ready made meals available to consume when convenient for a traveller.
What else ...
I live five minutes away from Deep Cove Beach and Quarry Rock Hike, fifteen minutes away from Cates Park Beach and Mount Seymour (hiking and mountain biking). There is a bus stop three minutes away. Downtown Vancouver is 45 minutes away by bus (2 buses and a small ferry-Seabus)
