We are looking for a dog and house sitter when we will be traveling, March 22 to April 6, 2025.
Frankie is a very affectionate, playful and calm, two year old, hypoallergenic goldendoodle. She will need two walks a day, feeding, some playtime and quiet company.
We have a lovely, well-maintained home and large treed yard. The separate and very comfortable guest suite has its own sitting area inside and outside. The rooms include a good quality queen bed, a large ensuite and walk in closet and good quality furnishings. The main part of the house has a large open kitchen and great room recently renovated and refurnished and has wall to wall windows facing the large deck and ocean view. The great room has a cozy gas fireplace and the upper deck has a stainless fire pit, a comfortable seating area and eating area. The potted plants on the decks will require watering on drier days.
We are located on Vancouver Island, between Parksville/Qualicum and Nanaimo, in an area with beautiful forested walking trails near ocean coves and beaches. We're situated between a marina and a golf course, both an easy walk away.
A small grocery store, bank, pharmacy, etc. are within 6 to 8 minutes drive and shops of Parksville and Nanaimo are a 15 to 20 minutes drive. There are four or five retaurants within a short walking or driving distance.
We are in an area with many hills and our guest suite is on a separate level so the ability to walk hills and climb stairs is important. A car is needed for this area. We require someone who is a nonsmoker and who can provide references, preferably from past house sits.
