We had the opportunity to house-sit for Karen and her family while they were away, and it was a very pleasant experience. The house was spotless and well-maintained, making our stay very comfortable. We stayed in their well-equipped and convenient basement suite.

We took care of their adorable chicken, and everything went smoothly. Karen and her family greeted us warmly and took the time to show us, in detail, what needed to be done. They also provided emergency contacts, which gave us peace of mind.
We highly recommend this place for anyone passing through; it’s a place where you feel truly welcomed.You can only contact Workawayers who have an active membership.

Karen & Derek are a loving, heartwarming and honest couple. We spent five days at their comfortable house, took care of the dog Remy (heartwarming and funny character) the three chickens (really funny) and the fishtank.
Remy is an easy and cuddly dog, loves to go for a hike, likes to ride in the car or just race in the backyard (catch him if you

We are very thankful to have met the family and the trust which is given to us. The area around the house is very quiet, you can reach the waterfront in 10 minutes by foot, there are so many trails to discover!
If you have the chance to stay at Karens & Dereks house, take it, it's worth it!
We will keep them in our heart! 💙You can only contact Workawayers who have an active membership.

Stefan and Mandy were amazing workawayers! Friendly, responsible, tidy. They managed our home (while we were away) and the tasks with ease and care. Fantastic communication, and we could tell our dog enjoyed his adventures and company with them.
We are so grateful to have had Stefan and Mandy come do our workaway. Highly recommend them to anyone

We had a wonderful stay at Karen's and Derek's place and can highly recommend this workaway! Brentwood Bay is a very charming coastal town with lots of things to do during summer time. Karen's family lives in a beautiful house and workawayers have their own, very comfortable space downstairs. Karen and Derek are among the friendliest and most

In terms of "work", we took care of the dogs Shyla and Remy, the chickens, the fish and the garden. It was easy work and we had enough time to relax and enjoy the area. We still miss our daily walks and cuddle time with the dogs. Thank you so much Karen and Derek, we hope to see you again in Europe 😃You can only contact Workawayers who have an active membership.

We are SO grateful to have had Eli & Tobi stay with us, and diligently take care of our home and animals while we were away. They are a pleasure to have around, helpful, completed all tasks and were in excellent communication with us at all times. They navigated a couple of animal situations perfectly and we felt very at ease knowing they were
