Animals and yard care in the mountains in Kelowna, Canada

  Description

  We are a busy, active family living on 10 beautiful acres in a peaceful rural setting. Our home is surrounded by BIG views, with plenty of space to enjoy the outdoors, and we share it with our horses and dogs—so animal lovers are a must! Dog experience is a must too! We have 4 rescues who need a confident human.
  
  We’re looking for a motivated, hands-on individual (or couple) who enjoys a mix of outdoor and indoor projects. Help on the property includes firewood prep, general maintenance, caring for our animals, and helping with our vegetable gardens and plant care. If you enjoy being outside and working with your hands, you’ll fit right in.
  
  We’re also in the middle of a kitchen renovation, so if you have experience with cabinetry or finishing work, that would be a huge bonus. That said, we’re happy to tailor tasks to your specific skills—whether that’s carpentry, landscaping, gardening, or general labour.
  
  Our household is lively and welcoming. Colin works out of town for two weeks at a time, and our two adult daughters also live on the property, so there’s always someone around. We value people who are independent, reliable, and enjoy being part of a family environment while still having their own space.
  
  In exchange, you’ll get the opportunity to live in a stunning rural location, spend time with animals, grow and care for plants, and be part of a warm, down-to-earth home.

  Aide

  We are a family of 5 adults living on the property. Mom, Dad, 2 daughters (26 & 28) and a roommate of Savana (28) who live in the carriage house. We are all very busy, a little help with the daily chores of living rural would be great. Some house cleaning, yard maintenance, horse feeding, dog walking. Pretty chill.
  Being confident around dogs is important as we are working with 2 large dogs who need a bit of time to be comfortable around new people. They are all super friendly once acclimatized. 2 of the 5 of need walking separately daily. Other chores would be stacking and or cutting firewood with a wood splitter, plant care, weeding, raking, sweeping. Any skill you bring will be utilized!

  Hébergement

  2 Private bedrooms with King bed and bathroom. Self serve breakfast and lunch. We usually eat the evening meal together. We have a diverse diet - very healthy - love creative cooking and everything made from scratch. Don't mind accommodating different eating philosophies. Our home is not great for vegans & some vegetarians as there is meat eaten every day and we are a hunting family.
