I am looking for a single, non-smoking older woman to care for my small (10lb) 4 yr old Miniature Pinscher while I am away for a week in July. She is very routine oriented, and likes the same things to happen at the same time everyday, if possible! She enjoys two walks a day in the neighborhood and two meals a day. I need someone I can trust to not leave the yard gates open or to let her out the front door by accident - she won't listen to come back. Our small, simple house is in a quiet neighborhood near the waterfront and the Departure Bay ferry terminal. There is a view over the Straits of Georgia from the sitting room and the front deck. The back yard is a very private garden, and a delight to relax in ... I have a beautiful goldfish pond that can take care of itself, with just some feeding of the fish each day. The yard will not require any maintenance, there is automatic watering to the vegetable beds. No other chores are needed.
