About this assignment
Kitten care, house care. Communicative, reliable,clean. We leave detailed instructions on cat care and house so that sitter is aware beforehand of things like garbage collection regulations in our community and pickup dates etc. I expect them to spend time with my cats. The “boys” like to talk to you as well. So, this would not be a job for someone working 12 hour days for example. Both cats are very affectionate.
What responsibilities are required of the house sitter
Interact with Eddie and Henry giving them lots of hugs and love. Maintain home in manner it was given to them. I am particularly detail oriented when it comes to clean.
What are the good features of the property and location
Short walk to Ambleside beach. Park Royal and Marine drive. View property. Bus nearby on Marine Dr. Close to all amenities and restaurants. Hiking is outside the door to Haywood Park and Sentinel hill for the active types. Bike rentals on the street nearby. Tennis courts at Ambleside as well as pickleball. Bike paths along Seawall.
What does the house sitter need to consider before applying for this assignment
Please care for our cats and home while visiting. We will give you a detailed tour so you know where everything is. If possible to arrive the day before just to get used to the house and cats that would be great. It’s a large home with private space for you.
Can I bring my own pets?
No, sorry.

Wonderful experience
Joanne and Ken have a lovely home and are very gracious. It’s been a delight to care for Jessie (the dog) and Henry (the cat). Sadly, they lost Jessie, but now they have another cat, named Edward. We have completed three sits at Joanne and Ken’s place, and all have been memorable. The pets were very easy to care for, the house is homey and gorgeous, and the setting is stunning. They leave thorough instructions and they respond to queries very quickly. We can’t recommend them highly enough.

Great Assignment
We were delighted when Joanne and Ken invited us to care for their house and Jessie, their fifteen-year-old West Highland terrier, on two occasions. Joanne and Ken are exactly the homeowners that you hope to sit for. They are warm, open, kind and good communicators. They provided us with excellent written instructions regarding the house and Jessie. Joanne also cooked us a lovely meal before we left. The house is large and in a very nice area with a sea walk not far from the house which Jessie loves. The house has a very well-equipped kitchen and an open plan living area. There is a wonderful view of the bay where the ships going into and out of Vancouver Harbour can be seen from the patio. Just a short walk from the house is a bus to take you to Vancouver and there is also a large shopping mall close by. As I said, Jessie is fifteen and in the house is a little on the slow side, but when you ask her if she would like to go for a walk she is up and running around like a dog half her age. Jessie is the sweetest little dog and she will do her best to train you. When she wants something, she stands in front of you and does a little dance and touches your leg with her paw. This could either mean... that she needs to go outside to “smell the flowers”; that she is ready for her breakfast/dinner or she would like you to play with her and her toy pigs. Alternatively, depending on the time of day, it could mean that she would like to sit close beside you on the couch and have a nap. Once you have figured out which one of these she is hoping for you can relax. This is a great sit. We would be delighted to be asked to sit again for Jessie, Joanne and Ken. We highly recommend this assignment.

Joanne, Canada
We stayed at Joanne and Ken's house for a week and it was delightful. They explained the routine, showed us around the house and introduced us to their adorable 15 year old Westie called Jessie. She is still very active and we took her for many walks and played with her at the house. We had a great time and would go there in a heart beat! Teresa and Bob
