Descrição
We are looking for a dog/house sitter for a week in December and March - ski season! There may be some overlap, but you would mostly be on your own, buying and preparing your own meals.
We live on 25 acres about 5K outside of Rossland - British Columbia's most charming ski town. There's not another building in sight from our home, with a view that extends clear into the US. Step out onto the deck for the kind of star gazing that inspires kids to become astronomers. Trails are our favorite diversion in Rossland, so bring your sense of adventure!
Our dog Duchess (a border collie mix) runs free on the property. We refer to her as the love scavenger :)
We hosted with Workaway for nearly 3 years when our children were young and met the most incredible people. Looking forward to connecting with you!

We love creating new traditions, s'mores, and pancakes with maple syrup... bien sur. Come gather round the bonfire with us!
Ajuda
Our pasture is wild and weed whacking is bi-monthly pastime in the summer, snow removal in the winter. There are plenty of ways in which this land could be enhanced — a covered picnic area is one example. We have two garden beds that welcome a green thumb. Priority given to those with a high tolerance for one very affectionate dog.

This was my first workaway and I am so glad it was with Kate & Ed, what a wonderful experience it was. If you get an opportunity to stay with this family, I highly recommend that you go for it! They are professional experienced hosts and welcoming kindred souls; it was so refreshing to spend time with them. The work was rewarding and reasonable… read more

Alessandro is a beautiful soul with a heart that rivals that of the most generous Italians to have crossed my path! He cared for our dog like she was his own and is an excellent cook and house-keeper. With experience in the hospitality industry, it's no surprise he knows how to get along with everyone. We consider ourselves extremely lucky to have… read more

Amir and Victor were an absolute delight to have in the mix! We loved the positive energy they brought to everything they did, especially when it involved our children. I was particularly moved by how they rose early to walk my youngest down to the school bus - just because it made him immensely happy to have them around. We feel lucky to have… read more

I cannot fully express my feelings about this lovely family. Our journey started amazingly with a stunning hike through the Rossland mountains, where we enjoyed walking through the snow. At the end of the trip, we were mesmerized by the sea of clouds beneath our feet. Afterward, we were warmly welcomed with a nice family dinner and played games… read more

Joe is an absolute ray of sunshine - and I don't use that phrase lightly. Neither my partner nor I have ever had the pleasure of sharing time with someone who is so doggedly positive. He is eager to help in whatever capacity he can, he's kind to both people and animals, and he's tidy and clean. What more could you want in a Workawayer?! I hope you… read more

My time with Ed, Kate, and the boys was so fun, supportive, and heart warming. I loved being with them, and being in their beautiful home. I can't thank them enough for their amazing hospitality, clear communication, and openness to being together. I particularly enjoyed going on a hike with Ed, hearing about Stuart's latest idea/craft project,… read more

The moment I arrived I was made to feel like a part of the family; Ed greeting me with a friendly smile & warm open arms, Cullen & Stuart bounding down the road to help me with my bags, Kate with chicken pot pie ready on the table and big cuddles. I’ve learnt a lot over the past 3 months… how to pull a crowd on the dance floor, ride instead of… read more

In just two months, Jenny became a member of the family. She has a buoyant spirit and generous heart, and our kids picked up on that immediately. Our children formed a deep bond with her. She is also hugely helpful around the house. Always looking for work. We can't wait for her to visit us again!

Timo is an extraordinarily hard worker. We left our most prised possessions – our four and two year old – in his care for weeks at a time. These children are high maintenance. There is rarely a quiet moment in our home and Timo never once complained. Not only did he maintain a positive attitude, he went to great lengths to keep them learning and… read more

We were camping, hiking and i enjoyed lots of parties with all the nice friends of them. I was also allowed to visit Kates awesome Mum in Seattle, who gave me… read more

Thanks Lara! We saw the salmon run on Saturday at Goldstream and were wishing you were still with us.
You're one of the most mature young women I've ever met - with an abundance of gifts to share with the world! I cannot wait to hear all about your adventures in Peru.
Bon voyage!

I spent two months in this family and had a really amazing time with them! I enjoyed spending time with the two incredibly cute boys and had enough time to explore in Victoria. The family is very friendly, helpful and active and they showed me many nice places in Victoria. I couldn't have a better first workaway experience! Thanks for hosting me,… read more

Jesus, siempre tendras un lugar en nuestros corazones ... y nuestra casa. You were such a joy to have around, more like a big brother than a helper. Your diligence and enthusiasm for helping out is phenomenal!
Rest assured, you are on the top of the list when it comes time for us to tour Europe. "Watch out!" as Stuey is fond of saying...

They are the first family I met via Workaway and it couldn`t have been better. I was living with them for one month and a half but the memories will last for a lifetime.

I told Mateja I would hire her in a heartbeat if she came back here with the proper visa. We could not have asked for a better caregiver! She is compassionate, patient, and generous with her time. She made a huge fan out of my mom too, after a visit to Seattle.
Mateja is destined for great things. I'm glad our paths crossed, and I look forward… read more

I was with Kate, Ed and the boys for two months and I had such a great time with them. They are an easy-going, loving, friendly family. It's not easy to come to a foreign country without knowing anyone, but they made me feel so welcomed and I immediately felt like at home. And the boys are so amazing - easy going, loving, always full of energy.… read more

I had the most wonderful time with this lovely family! Kate and Ed were so accommodating and welcoming, and made me feel so at home. The boys are absolute treasures and I had so much fun whether it was taking them out on their bikes, to pre-school, or playing some kind of version of hide-and-seek on the sofas!

David is a very patient, kind man - wonderful with our little boys! He is a self-starter, always looking for ways to help and blended seemlessly into our family. I'm pleased we'll be seeing more of him in the year to come! I recommend him without reservation as a guest and worker.

Thank you Lilly! You were a joy to have in our midst and we will miss you dearly. If you didn't have other career aspirations, I would encourage you to be a nanny and would write you a glowing recommendation. The boys are lucky to have spent the month in your care and I know your album will remind them of that through the years.
