    Description

    MATCH FOUND for January/February 2025. We will be looking for garden help and catsitting in the spring (dates still to be determined, but likely mid-April to mid-May)

    We live on an island a short ferry from Vancouver. Our home is located in the rural part of the island on a lake. The nearby walking trails are perfect for avid hikers. For winter stays, there's a woodburning fireplace and plenty of books and boardgames to enjoy. For spring/summer stays, we're a 20-minute walk from the beach.
