  Greetings! Dates still approximate.

 We are looking for an energetic individual or couple. Special natural location in beautiful Victoria, BC, close to most areas but very rural in setting. We have a smaller house on 3 acres close to Thetis Lake.  Well trained, super easy going 6 year old smooth collie. Sitter required from mid-January 2025 to mid/late February 2025 

Located on an agricultural land reserve near Victoria General Hospital and Thetis Lake Park. There are a lot of fenced yard, garden, trees, and birds.  Close access to downtown Victoria as well as Saanich and the Westshore area.

Main responsibility is being around for the dog, entertaining her with small amounts of play, and taking her for at least an hour walk/run daily in the nearby areas. Just like Lassie but with short hair, she is gentle and smart. Typically, we drive her, and we would appreciate it if you had your own vehicle. We have a right hand drive van that other sitters have used.  There are stress-free areas to walk or run with her on leash, leaving on foot from the house also, but we value the long offleash walk deep in one of the parks like Thetis, Elk lake or Francis King.

Best suits retired or working -at- home individuals with dog experience.  We will consider a sitter with their own dog with recommendations. Nori has enjoyed the company -she is good with other dogs. Fenced yard.

Our house is more charming than modern, almost like a big Gulf Island cabin as our hilltop deck looks out over a significant wooded area- great light and outdoor spaces. We have some houseplants and enjoy having old or vintage decor from an interesting life in Victoria and Costa Rica. 

People experienced with cold weather and managing a house in wintertime appreciated.

Please reply and include references and questions for us. Thank you, Elisabeth and Warren
