My stay was wonderfull.
Jean is a phenomal host, she showed me a lot of places across the island and can tell so many things about the history like Anna Green gables.

Thank you so much for all your effort☺️.

Mirjam and Thomas stayed at my house for 10 days in December 2024, and I can say it was an absolute pleasure to host these wonderful people. There was nothing that I asked of them, that they did not promptly finish. They did excellent work, on every task that they undertook.

Suraiya was an absolutely great worker and a lovely guest. The original intent was that she would provide assistance primarily with my perennial beds around the house.

The thing I appreciated the most was that I did not need to ask Suraiya to do things, she just saw things to be done and when ahead and did it, which was so awesome. When the weather started to warm up a bit, Suraiya did a great job of giving my perennial beds their first weeding, getting things off to a great start for the spring. Suraiya is super smart and was a keen conversationalists. What I appreciated the most, was that Suraiya was easy to cook for and was always appreciative of every meal. Suraiya is welcome to come back anytime,Feedback

Roxanne is an amazing woman! She did an excellent job at everything she undertook and completed. The thing I really appreciated the most was that I did not need to show Roxanne what needed to be done. This was such a blessing as I was really busy, and I knew that when I left things for Roxanne, it would be done even better than I could complete.

In addition, she was super easy to cook for - she would eat everything and was so great to complete the clean up after every meal. Clover (my dog) proved to be as stubborn as he can be - spoiled pup :0. I would welcome Roxanne back anytime.

Everything at Jean's was as advertised and more, there are no surprises here with the exception of how beautiful the setting is, pictures don't do it justice. The house is clean and quiet, after a month in St John's in the hostel it was a paradise for me.
Jean is exceptionally welcoming and good company, her cooking is restaurant quality and she
… read more is generous with the portions. The hours worked were always fair, the tasks were both inside and outside the house which suited me just fine.
Jean appreciates your input and is flexible about what needs to be done and when, with the exception of Clover's walks. He is a lovable and stubborn doggo who needs a firm hand and lot's of affection. Everyone in the village knows him.
The village is seaside and quaint, like a setting for a movie, the real PEI experience. A town is just a short distance walk away.
I lived well at Jean's, I felt like I was among friends and I would highly recommend her to anyone lucky enough to be invited to her home.
Thanks for everything Jean.

Anton was a joy to be around. He was always in an upbeat mood and ready to smile. I loved how he took such good care of my chocolate Labrador Retriever (Clover).

Apart from being very knowledgeable of world events, he was interested in knowing a lot about my area and my province - which was really fun. Sadly, the weather (snow storms) was not that cooperative so I was unable to take Anton to some of my favourite hiking places on Prince Edward Island. When Anton left, both Clover and I were so sad. Welcome back anytime.

I absolutely loved my stay at Jeans house on PEI. These two weeks went by way too quickly.

Besides that, we had lots of road trips where Jean showed me around the island and told me about local history, politics and nature, which I really appreciated. She also introduced me to lots of her friends and the local culture. Accommodation was very cozy and clean. Jean, Clover and I had a great time. This place leaves nothing to be desired! I already miss both of them, wish them all the best for the future, and would love to come back some time. Vous pouvez seulement contacter les workawayers avec une adhésion active.

I stayed with Jean for only one week (I would have loved to stay much longer, but already had another workaway lined up right after). Jean is the kindest woman you'll ever meet, if you get a chance to stay at Jean's, you will have the best workaway stay possible. I loved helping Jean with her dog Clover, who is the sweetest and nicest labrador
… read more I've ever met, and I also enjoyed helping out in the garden with the rose bushes. Even gardening can't be more fun when you have a beautiful water view right in front of you. Jean was so kind and has told me so much about the island, she took me to a theater/ concert show, showed me the local beach, took me to Charlottetown,... I felt like part of the family and her house immediately felt like home. Her house is absolutely stunning and always clean and you'll get the chance to meet many of her interesting (B&B) guests. One of the local beaches is in walking distance, so after I was finished in the garden, I was able to go swimming. I hope I am able to come back to Jean's place again.
Jean and Clover, thank you for everything, I couldn't have had a better stay!

I spent 4 weeks with Jean and Clover, I sincerely loved my stay and I highly recommend you to go and meet them !

I spent the rest of my days doing various tasks in the house and garden (cleaning, DIY or gardening, depending on the weather). At the end of the

Maeva arrived on Prince Edward Island, just as winter was ending and spring was starting to be a reality. The cooler weather did not affect Maeva at all. She took excellent care of my chocolate Labrador retriever (Clover) while I was taking a three-week course that took me away from home for most of the day. In addition to looking after Clover,

In summary, Maeva is a thoughtful and kind person who is a delight to be around. I highly recommend her for a workaway assignment.

I give these two women a five-star rating. Joy and Selina were at my house on Prince Edward Island in October, 2022.

I stayed at Jeans residence in May for 2 weeks! As my first workaway experience this was perfect! Jean and her amazing 4 year old brown lab, Clover welcomed me into their home right away.

Our 2 week stay with Jean was awesome. The most delicious suppers with a Myriad of worldly conversations made our stay seem way too short. Taking care of Clover, the Lab, was a dream come true. He is a loveable fella who enjoys walks, brushing and attention.

Jean gave us a day long tour of central PEI, with history, family connections and many other topics.

In addition, Jean gave us great suggestions on what to see and where to go on our afternoons off.
We enjoyed our time with Jean & Clover and look forward to coming back someday. Thank you Jean!

I spent 3 weeks working in Jean's perennial flower beds in the most beautiful place on PEI! The air is fresh, the views breathtaking and the work rewarding.

Jean's hospitality,

You'll love going for walks to the beach and especially playing frisbee with him.Vous pouvez seulement contacter les workawayers avec une adhésion active.

My stay at Jean and Clover was fabulous. They have a beautiful house on a wonderful property on Prince Edward Island (in between the Gulf of Saint Lawrence and the Northumberland Strait).
Every day I got a new task, which caused that it never became boring, and I enjoyed every single one of this. Working together with Clover was a highlight for me

I cannot remember ever feeling so well. From the first moment they gave me the feeling of being welcome and to be a part of their family. The food was great and we had a marvellous time together.
Trips to New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and PEI were amazing, especially Peggy’s Cove and Halifax. And, of course, I will never forget family Lu in Summerside.
I cannot help smiling every time I think back and I hope to be coming back as soon as possible.

Uwe was an amazing Workawayer. He provided invaluable assistance with my Chocolate Labrador Retriever (Clover). Uwe provided advice on Clover's behaviour (when Clover would take things to chew), exercise (Uwe would take Clover out for long walks as well as for short walks to do his business) and helped when I had to give medical treatment to

In addition, Uwe re-established two huge flower beds (in the front and back of my house), cut down old trees , transplanted a number of flower bushes and re-organised my garage such that I can now find my shovel and rake.

Rob provided invaluable assistance with my Chocolate Labrador Retriever (Clover) during his stay including training Clover to walk on "heel", to "stay" and "recall".
