We are looking for mature pet lovers, preferably a couple who will love our dogs and cat and who enjoy being away from a hectic city, but are close enough to all amenities to enjoy both. Metchosin is located on the southern coast of Vancouver Island, 30 km., 18 miles to the capital city Victoria. It has a population of just under 5,000 of rural farmland and second-growth forests. Metchosin is a nature lover's paradise with miles of trails, beaches and wild life. We built our home in 2010 on 10 acres of hilltop with scenic views of distant hills and forest. There is very little property maintenance, but we need “step parents” for our 2 dogs (Great Pyrenees and Rottweiler) and cat. The Pyrenees is happy outside on duty during the day and the Rottie likes to be let out to inspect regularly. They don't require walks, but they are very people orientated and love their cuddles, especially at night (but the GP and cat aren’t on good terms). We are away November 13th to December 6th, but the suite in our home will not be vacant until November 22nd, so the start date is negotiable.
