We are looking for a house-sitter March 22-April to care for our energetic rescue dog, Rilla, who needs at least one long walk a day plus 2-3 shorter walks. She weighs 35 pounds and is very sweet and gentle with people of all ages. She gets along with most dogs but has had some bad experiences in dog parks so we don't take her there. We need an experienced dog lover who enjoys exercise and who will keep the house looked after and if necessary clear snow from the driveway and sidewalk.
We have a friend renting our basement who has a dog and cat. She has her own entrance and only shares the washer and dryer with us.
We live in a quiet neighborhood near the University of Waterloo. We back onto green space and there are trails in our neighborhood and nearby. Our dog travels well in the car so other areas can be explored. St Jacobs is an interesting small town nearby and Stratford is about 45 minutes away. There are several theatres as well as those in Stratford. Mennonites farm in Waterloo Region and produce pure maple syrop which is sold from their farms. There is a large Farmer's Market near St Jacobs which has indoor vendors as well as outdoor. We have many good restaurants in the area if you don't feel like cooking.
Please contact us for more information if interested.
