Petsitting in our cute cottage in gorgeous Slocan Valley in BC, Canada

Detalhes

  Descrição

  We have a sweet cottage available in exchange for pet/plant sitting coming up, a perfect writer's retreat opportunity in the mountains of British Columbia.
  
  Would you be interested in staying in our cozy cottage for a month+, with just a couple chores (~45 min daily) as an exchange?
  
  Dates: June 8 – July 15, 2026 (could also start June 1)
  Where: Slocan Valley, BC
  
  Opportunity: perfect place to write a book, retreat, wander the beautiful land which has river access, enjoy views and quiet, lots of privacy, lie on the ground and do nothing…
  
  Exchange: feed our two horses twice a day (take 10 min. each time), and keep our two friendly dogs company (all they need is food/water, the occasional cuddle, and will accompany you on walks), water deck flowers every 3rd day, and houseplants 1-2x the entire stay.
  
  So, it’s the perfect scenario to have lots of time to yourself while having to go outside and move once in a while 😊
  
  Please be in touch if this speaks to you, and/or pass it on to a good friend!
  
  With gratitude
  Miriam & family
