We are travelling for five weeks and would like a house sitter to take care of our house, gardens and cat for this duration. The house is large and is located on an acre...we do have quite an extensive shrub/flower garden which will take some watering, though in September the job is not usually as time consuming as in the middle of summer. A vehicle will not be included in this arrangement, though it would be necessary to have one because we are in a rural area and there is no public transportation. This is a particularly nice time of year to be in southern Vancouver Island; we are ten minutes south of Nanaimo and approximately an hour and a half north of Victoria. Because we are surrounded by trees, there must be no smoking in the yard or in the house.
