We are looking for someone to be a housesitter / petsitter [no payment involved] for 6 weeks from July 8 to about Aug 19. We have 2 great cats (one is only indoors and the other goes in and out a lot; both have short hair), and a tropical fish tank that need care, plus a vegetable garden and small lawns front and back that will need attention. We have a very nice, pretty new, 3-level home. It's in a residential development in Heritage Woods (up Heritage Mountain), with a big southern view. We're 10 minutes from Rocky Point on Burrard Inlet, Buntzen Lake, and White Pine Beach / Sasamat Lake. Great little shops are nearby at Newport Village (also Coquitlam Mall). We're 15 minutes from Indian Arm, and 45 minutes to Vancouver. The cats are easy without any particular needs beyond the usual (daily attention, food, litter boxes). The cats can be left overnight occasionally, but preferably not regularly. The garden should have lots of organic produce for you to enjoy. We've had various housesitters in the past, and all have enjoyed their stays (and appreciated the cats).
