Jonathan joined us last minute and took excellent care of our cat while we were away on tour. He was easy to communicate with, kind, and genuinely caring. We felt completely at ease knowing our home and cat were in good hands. We’re very thankful for his help and would happily recommend him to other hosts.

I visited Twillingate to house-sit and look after the cat and hens for a month for Joelle and Jordan. They were away on tour when we were first in contact, but communication was always prompt and clear. I had a great time exploring the amazing coastal Rock Cut trails of Twillingate as well as just hanging in their pad. It was easy to complete all… read more

I spent a month at Matty's in Sunnydale and had a great time taking care of the dogs and helping with gardening and painting. He trusted me to work on my own at my own pace and I enjoyed the independence and solitude. The log cabin I stayed in was large and spacious but toasty at night with the wood stove going. The outdoor shower and the "house… read more

We weren't sure what to expect when we hired Jo but we had a great feeling over the phone so we decided to go for it. Very quickly we realized that this was no mistake. Jo is a laid back, flexible and helpful person that was a real pleasure to be around. He did everything he could to be helpful and was always punctual and in good spirits. Kaï very… read more

I stayed with Gabby and Roman from April to August 2025. Initially I was attracted by the paid positions described on their profile, but they had all been filled when I got in touch. Nevertheless, Roman promised he would help me get paid work if I wanted it after I came up and he made good on his promise--I worked part-time at the store in town… read more

Nicki contacted me when I was in Ontario and invited me to her place if I happened to be out west. It ended up helping me with a place to stay and things to do while I waited for an overseas work visa to come through. The visa was finally delayed, but by that point I was enjoying my time on Gabriola too much to care. I stayed with George while… read more
