Hi!
We live in the small city of Cranbrook. We are two blocks from a lovely forest walk for the dog. There is a bus service right outside our house, but having a car may be helpful. We have neighbours but our street is quiet. We are looking for a house sitter/pet sitter for our 7 year old Belgian Malinois/Husky cross. We have had her for 4 years. She is a very nice girl, loves attention, people and other dogs. She needs 1 good walk in the morning, and 1 more short walk before dark! Oh, and of course she likes to be fed twice a day! She does have a few quirks, - she gets worried about sudden loud noises, and of course fireworks and thunderstorms, but those should not be happening this time of year! She is getting better with loud things all the time. She likes to be around people, and is NOT happy to be left alone for long periods of time. This sit would likely not suit someone looking to ski every day.
We like our home maintained in a tidy manner, and due to the time of year likely will require some snow removal. We do have a snow blower we would be happy to show you how to use!
We have a large home, well maintained on the edge of the city. Close to forested walking paths. There are many outdoor activities in this area. Skiing, hiking, cultural events, and the occassional (in winter) farmers markets and craft fairs. Kimberley is a 25 minute drive away, and has a beautiful platzl where there are quaint shops and restaurants. We have high speed internet, so perfect for someone who works remotely.
We have a hot tub to warm your bones after some time outside, or just for the cool days!
I will update pictures shortly!
We are reluctant to book flights before we find out if there is any interest in this sit. Please message me if this is something that may interest you. Our planned travel date is March 2025, for 3 to 4 weeks in duration.
