  Description

  HELP! April 10-????.
  
  Hello, awesome people!
  
  Your day would look like walking, or riding the horse and walking and playing with the large breed dog/s. Some weeding and watering and anything additional that you may excel at!
  
  We live on 10 acres up in the mountains. We would have a car that could be used to go to and from town.
  You would have a bedroom with a king size bed, and share the bathroom with the other work away.
  
  We have 4 dogs of which at least 2 would be walked/played with separately. Confidence and experience with dogs is a must as there are deer in the neighbourhood and the dogs are all large.
  
  Come sooner, stay longer, we are flexible.

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  Help

  We are a family of 5 adults living on the property. Mom, Dad, 2 daughters (26 & 28) and a roommate of Savana (28) who live in the carriage house. We are all very busy, a little help with the daily chores of living rural would be great. Some house cleaning, yard maintenance, horse feeding, dog walking. Pretty chill.
  Being confident around dogs is important as we are working with 2 large dogs who need a bit of time to be comfortable around new people. They are all super friendly once acclimatized. 2 of the 5 of need walking separately daily.

  Accommodation

  Private bedroom with King bed and private bathroom. Self serve breakfast and lunch. We usually eat the evening meal together. We have a diverse diet - very healthy - love creative cooking and everything made from scratch. Don't mind accommodating different eating philosophies. Our home is not great for vegans & some vegetarians as there is meat eaten every day and we are a hunting family.

  What else ...

  We live in a rural area with no public transportation. There are 5 adults on the property so someone is always coming from or going to town. The bus is a 10 min drive. Kelowna is a beautiful town and there is anything from skiing to hiking in all directions. The city is 160000 people.
