Clean, quiet, mature, responsible, non-smoking housesitter (couple or single, no children) needed to care for home, yard, and two indoor/outdoor cats from May 30, 2023, to June 20, 2023.
The home is a clean, well-maintained 31 yr. old walk-out rancher, 1300 sq. ft., on 1/3 acre professionally landscaped lot with beautiful views of Okanagan Lake. There are 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. Housesitters use a guest room on the lower floor. Central AC, WiFi and cable TV.
Much of the yard is on automatic sprinklers, but some daily watering of lawn and pots is required.
The cats are 9 year old Dewey, a large orange short-haired male tabby, and Nellie, a 8 year old medium-length tortoise shell female, both very healthy and affectionate. They may go outdoors in daylight hours when you are home but must be in at night and can be in all the time. They have litter boxes that need scooping daily. Nellie loves a daily brush!
Lake Country is a community of about 15,000. The home is semi-rural, situated close to several wineries, orchards, parks, the rail trail, hiking trails, golf courses, tennis courts, and beach walk. Most amenities are available in the town centre of Lake Country, 4 km away. There is public transit to Kelowna, but the bus stop is a 2 km walk; thus a car is desirable. It is a 15 min. drive to the Kelowna airport, 20 minutes south to Kelowna, or 25 minutes north to Vernon. There are many places to explore within a half day drive.
If you are interested in spending some time this summer in the beautiful Okanagan Valley and this situation would work for you, please get in touch.
