  Description

  MUST LOVE DOGS!
  
  Hello. We are a family of 3, with 3 small doggies living on 5 acres on the Sunshine Coast. We love the outdoors. We live close to the water and near many hiking trails. We're in Sechelt and 8 minutes drive from the centre of town.
  We hope to meet wonderful guests from all over the world. While here, we would appreciate some help with yard work and maintenance around the property, some regular house cleaning, organizing, etc. Some doggie-sitting/house-sitting might be needed if I have to be out for a length of time.
  We love our doggies (2x 8lb pups (Morkie and Chihuahua and a 20 lb terrier mix) and hope you would love them too!
  We would prefer non-smokers; preference would be for a couple (but open to the right single person too). You will have flexible schedule; I'm honestly not the greatest cook so anyone who can be independent and make their own meals most days would be great; We can talk groceries :-)
  We have a paddleboard you could use 5 mins walk down the hill to the beach;
  We have a large custom built modern house ; You will have a private bedroom and access to your own bathroom; If you love to cook, our beautiful large kitchen is available for your use.
  
  We've enjoyed our first experience with a wonderful young Italian couple and now are feeling comfortable to open our home to more lovely workaways. If you're interested in visiting us, let's chat.
  Cheers.

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  The Sunshine Coast is beautiful; So many outdoor activities like hiking trails, water access, mountain biking, etc; It is also a smaller rural community, and you would be welcomed by friendly small town residents; a weekly farm market on Saturdays in the summer; and many festivals going on in the summer.

  My animals / pets

  

  Finnegan Boots aka "Finn" (5 years)

  The youngest of the 3 dogs, Finnegan is a Diva; Very territorial and demanding in the house, but super chill and great on a leash outside the house; He is a picky eater, only eating one specific food. Doesn't even like treats. He's super cute but not the most affectionate. Very indifferent to people. Loves his older sisters but annoys the heck out of them.

  

  Trixie (13 years)

  This 20 pound 13 year old is the sweetest girl. Dont tell the other two dogs, but she's my favorite! She's got heart issues but responding well to medications. She's slower now but still loves her treats and her daily walks.

  

  Chai (15 years)

  Chai is a 15 year old Chihuahua. She is the BOSS. The other two dogs dont mess with her. Lol. Although she is getting old, she is in great shape (maybe a little deaf now) but she loves her cuddles and demands attention from her people. She is definitely everyone's favorite
