Unfortunately I did not get to know Chris as it was just Felipe who stayed at my place.
I left Felipe with my dog, home and a list of things I could use help with around the house. I had no concerns while I was away and he did an excellent job of every task we discussed. He took great care of my dog, to the extent that she became attached to him

He can independently work his way through complicated home renovations tasks. Felipe’s English skills could be a barrier but he uses a translator which works well. I am grateful for his help!

Jailin is such an amazing host and person. Even before knowing that I was going to take care of her dog, cat and home, and become really close to her family, she offered me all the advice and help she could. She is responsible, easy-going and has a lot of experience with hosting travelers, so she's a great communicator and host too. Thanks for

Elena looked after my home, cat and dog for several weeks. I didn't worry about a thing! Elena is intelligent, responsible, energetic and an excellent communicator. She spent time with my family and also built a relationship with them that she still maintains. Elena is welcome back anytime and I am fully confident in recommending her to others.
Such a great and wholesome experience! We were supposed to stay for a couple of weeks while Jailin was away enjoying Mexico but there was a change of plans in our schedule and Jailin was kind enough to host us for longer than expected.
Jailin is a good communicator, very generous and knowledgeable, and she always made sure she included us and

We were able to make connections and left Hinton with a bunch of newly made friends. We had the chance to have fun playing disc golf, riding fat bikes, going Christmas tree hunting and also having a Christmas Eve dinner together with friends!😊
Jailin's place is very cozy and comfortable, there are so many cute little details (from various plants everywhere to original drawings/pictures) which make it feel like home. If you like reading, she has a great library and a comfy armchair and couch to enjoy this activity to the max. 😊
Reece was a true sweetheart! She needed some time to get used to us but soon enough she would gladly go for walks with us and would behave very well on and off the leash. She's funny and sometimes behaves more like a cat than a dog. 😊
The things we had to do around the house included keeping the place clean, taking Reece for walks, helping with small projects like mounting pictures on walls, installing some hooks or knobs, taking care of the recycling.
Thanks so much for everything, Jailin! Hinton will always have a special place in our hearts!Photos

I was away for most of the time Claudia was at my place but we had several days together. She was a pleasure to have around and always helpful. While I was away she looked after my home, dog, garden and flowers. I also left her some tasks around the house to complete and she did a great job. I had no concerns while I was away and trusted that she

Enna stayed and helped me out with my dog while I was away for a few days. She did a great job dealing with some unexpected challenges. I really appreciate her independence and the choices she made around the care of my dog.

I spent a week in Jailin's home and looked after her house and dog while she was away. She's a nice person and gave me some local advice on what I could do in Hinton even without having my own car.

Nichole spent over a month in my home. Some of which I was there for and some I was away. From the very beginning she was very respectful of my home and the fact that I have a home office. Nichole was extremely helpful with my dog who unfortunately was sick and demanded more work than expected. Nichole was very diligent in caring for my dog and

I spent about a month at Jailin‘s place, mainly taking care of Reece while Jailin was away. Reece is an absolutely cute and patient dog. Once I had learnt to interpret her behavior correctly, I had a great time with her. Although Jailin was pretty busy when she was at home, she took some time to show me around. We even caught some amazing Northern

On that occasion, Jailin invited us to a walk in Maligne Canyon and went ice-skating with us and Reece. It was really nice to meet them again and spend some time together. All in all, I had a great time in Hinton.You can only contact Workawayers who have an active membership.

Rahul was a great guest in my home. He was tidy, respectful and a great communicator. He watched my home and dog and I no concerns the entire time. He was kind enough to also spend time with my grandmother and helped her out. I welcome Rahul back anytime and have no hesitations recommending him.

It’s a bit late but the wonderful experience I’ve had at Jailin’s place past summer can’t be left unsaid. This was my first Workaway and oh boy, I doubt if anything would top it! Hinton is a beautiful small town in northern Alberta with friendly people, great landscapes, lakes and wilderness. I looked after Reece during my stay, who is the
… read more sweetest dog ever and if I’m being honest I actually miss her a little.. She grows on you once you get to know her.
And Jailin is a really kind, generous and outgoing host who went out of her way on more than a few occasions to show me around! We went on hikes, drives, rode bikes and were even lucky enough to catch the northern lights once! Her condo is cozy and aesthetically pleasing where she grows a variety of plants with all sorts of colorful flowers and vegetables. I also had the opportunity to meet her grandma and help out with her garden. She is the nicest and the most affectionate person you will meet and an awesome cook! Wouldn’t mind spending time with her in her “suite” all day!
All in all I had an amazing time and would most definitely return if I get a chance! Highly recommend to anyone who’s looking to enjoy nature and the Rocky Mountains of Alberta!

I was staying at Jailin's house for 5 days and it was just a very pleasent stay.
Jailin is a very inspiring, grounded and kind person and she really does everything to make your stay as comfortable as possible. we've been hiking together and she was telling me about the surrounding, what else can be done there. (biking, hiking, discgolf, shopping

and Reese is just a super sweet and easy dog (acts more like a cat) 😁, you just have to love her from the first sec, there's no way you won't.
the tasks around the house were also not that hard to manage.
so after all i just can recommend the stay with Jailin and Reese!
thanks for everything! 😊

Jailin took us on a great hike and really made us feel at home.
we've kept in contact and I cannot recommend anyone more.

I had a really good time in Hinton.
Jailin was really nice and welcoming, she always had propositions for me : meeting new people, hikes and activities in the region... I fully enjoyed my time there ! If you want to experience the outdoors in the Rockies and around, she's the perfect person :)
I also really enjoyed the work I had to do there.

Andrea stayed in my home for 6 weeks. She was pleasant and helpful. I was away a lot and was fully confident in her ability to care for my dog and home. Andrea is considerate, good company and independent. My family also enjoyed getting to know her and are thankful for her kindness and assistance.

I stayed at Jailins place for about ten days last month and I really enjoyed it! Jailin had hurt her leg and asked for some help around the house with the daily chores. The work was not hard at all, and there was plenty of time to explore the (beautiful!) area and socialize. I also got to meet some of her friends and relatives which was really
