We are a mature couple who are interested in house sitting next spring/summer. My husband is retired and I am working part time in Courtenay. George is an experienced handyman/builder and is willing to assist with any work you are planning around your property. We have owned two homes and take great pride in both the home and garden areas. We love pets, dogs and cats alike, and we own a beautiful, twelve year old black Lab, called Shadow, who is a gentle soul. We are both active, healthy, responsible, honest, non-smokers and we will take excellent care of your home and/or pets. We are currently house sitting in Black Creek until the middle of April 2014 and will be available at that time. We would be delighted to hear from you. We will be able to provide personal and work references. Thank you very much.
