    Description

    ==================
    We have specific dates in April/May 2024- we will divulge dates once we find a good match
    ==================
    Looking for a housesitter to take care of our Australian shepherd dog and 10 year old cat. And if it’s not horrible outside, a bit of gardening.
    I have a spare room that needs organizing if there’s spare time. .
    We live on an island only 20 minutes from Vancouver and it’s very peaceful. Large garden and yard about a 20 minute walk from the beach. Paddle board, kayaks, tennis - all at your disposal to use - unfortunately in winter it’s more movies and card games!. Untouched forest behind our house has great trails for hiking or an avid biker.

  • Accommodation

    Accommodation

    Little mini house to yourself or a bedroom with en-suite bathroom with private entrance - your choice.
    Let us know what you like to eat and we will ensure the fridge and freezer is stocked.
    As our home is on a remote location it is better to have your drivers license and we have a car we let you use while you are here.
    It is not necessary to drive but just a little bit more fun if you want to go to the corner store or a different beach. We do NOT have a bus in our neighborhood
