Hello, our family is tasking a holiday to visit family in the interior and in Alberta, leaving July 5th, and returning on July 21st (approximately 16 days) and we are looking for a responsible house-sitter(s) who would be willing to stay in our home to take care of our pets and water the garden in exchange for free accommodation. We have 2 dogs and 2 cats, all of whom are "outside" pets, but all enjoy attention and interaction, and of course require food and water daily. The dogs are medium/large mixed- breed (SPCA) dogs, and both of them enjoy walks, although the large dog (10 years old) can't go as far as she once could. The house is small and simple (3 bedroom rancher), but we are on a very nice 2.5 acre parcel, at the edge of the City, with a nice patio and mountain views, and quick easy access to shopping, services, etc. (we are 2 blocks off of the Nanaimo Parkway).
We had a friend lined up to stay at the house, however unfortunately she had an unexpected work assignment that has come up and is now unable to house-sit for us, as I recognize that we are not providing a lot of notice or lead time. As we are somewhat late in the game here (only roughly 2 weeks until we leave). If you are interested please let me know as soon as possible and then we can discuss additional details.
Cheers.
